Old zones, raid nights and rare drops from one player’s notebook

Questions Readers Ask

A few questions arrive again and again, so here are my honest answers. If yours is not listed, the contact page is the place to ask.

Which version of the game do you write about?

Mostly retail and the older Classic worlds, side by side. The posts say in the title or the opening lines which one they cover, and where an expansion matters I name it.

Are the guides up to date?

They are written for the patch current at the time and I revisit the ones that get the most visits. If something has changed since, tell me and I will check it in game before editing.

Do you recommend specific addons?

Yes, a handful. They live on the farming addons page with a note about what each one is good for. I only list things I have actually used.

Can I suggest a topic?

Please do. Several posts started as a reader question. Send an e-mail to [email protected] with the subject line of your idea.

Who writes the journal?

One person, Renee Caldwell, in the evenings. The editor page has the longer story.

Do you cover every class?

No. I write mostly about the content I have played myself, so some classes appear often and others hardly at all. Where I borrow knowledge from a friend, I say so in the post rather than pretend.

Why are some posts about older zones?

Because the old world is where a lot of players fell in love with the game. Caves, battlegrounds and early dungeons still teach good habits, and revisiting them is simply enjoyable.

Where do I begin?
