A Day in the Life

Posted on by

I feel badly that I didn’t compile quite enough screenshots on Sunday to satisfy the public’s thirst for insider Warcraft knowledge. I spent today, a rare non-family holiday off from work, snapping screenshots of a typical WoW player’s “day in the life” … so to speak.

Fire. bad.

In Ironforge, the lag is so bad, we’ve resorted to yelling at people that graze the firepots, thereby lagging our video display by .000005 seconds. MY GOD, that time could have made the difference in the bidding war at the Auction House.
