The Drums of War!!

Our numbers swell, and the bastion of the Lich King looms before us!  The Warbringers feel that our time in nigh.  Rise up, Champions of the Horde, for the Hour of Justice has Come!

Warbringers Gnaws and Kîllz have been preparing, and have stated that a Guild assault upon Icecrown Citadel is nearly upon us.  What they need, comrades, are soldiers!  I call for all interested Shades to post their availabilities, either here on the comments, or in game in a letter to the Warbringers.  

We must know who is prepared for the final onslaught.  Who will stand in the face of everlasting death?  Who will shatter the Frozen Throne?

It may be you!  Lok'tar Ogar!!

Blizzcon 2010 Photo Recap!!

It was 2 days of Legend!  The Makers, the players, the loot and the lore, all was a spectacle worthy of the Titans!  So come with me, comrades, and witness the event of the year!  All pics are click to enlarge!


Behold, Blizzcon 2010!!

Blizzcon 2010!!

That's right comrades!  The convention of the Makers has arrived, and your High Chieftain shall be there to witness the Glory!  From story and lore, to concept art, to open Q&A's, to upcoming content, I shall bring what knowledge I can to you, and post it here for all to see!  

There will be photos, reports, and more!  I hope to perhaps run into one or more of you there, but even if you cannot personally make it, you can still bear witness to all the action live via stream, and can set it up here, from the Makers' official page.  

If you do manage watch the event on live stream, look for this image.  It is the Only shirt of its kind!  If you are one of the fortunate souls who will actually be in attendance, know my name is Ogami, the High Chieftain of the Shades of the Rising Sun!!

Blood and Glory await us!!

A Workaround for Dungeon Crashes.

Hail, comrades!  Over the weekend, as we endeavor to learn our new powers, many of us have experienced a great number of glitches and bugs.  Most of these can be attributed to personal settings and UI mods, such as addons, but there are a few others that are in fact server side.  While most of these Actual bugs are cosmetic and non-gamebreaking, this one in particular is an exception.
     Luckily, while the Makers scramble to correct this issue, which will likely happen by next maintenance, our intrepid community has devised a workaround that does seem successful.  
     If you find that your game keeps crashing inside of instances, including during the Headless Horseman event, this is most likely caused by this known issue, and is being called the Cogwheel Bug.  Basically, anytime there is a usable object inside an instance, you'll see the familiar cogwheel.  This glitch causes the game to crash whenever you do.  
    As frustrating as this can be, there is a relatively simple workaround that, while it may take a few minutes to write, is definitely worth the multiple restarts.

Screenshot Gallery Updated!
