Aprillian and Glanthur discuss the many play styles of WoW. Talk about what they've been doing, re-entry into WoW after taking a few days off, developments in the Guild Bank and going back to Basics to RTM! What We've been doingAprillian Glanthur: Re-Entry OK, It's that time of year again -- when everyone goes to the mall.  So, work has really picked up.  And, because of that I have very limited t...

Of course we talk about Patch 2.3, the mini-expansion What We've been doing:Aprillian We decided to start over on a PvP server, as alliance. Patch stuff Guild banks are cool.  Perfect for people with alts.  No longer do you have to remember who is holding what or use Rpgoutfitter.com.  You can store stuff in the guild bank.  Not too much room so you won't be storing silly stuff.  It's going to mak...

We're back after a little hiatus. Aprillian and Glanthur discuss Hallow's Eve and what they've been doing. Glanthur is interested in putting some more RP in the RP Server they are on.   Hollow's Eve is here and there's so much to do.  But sometimes RL intrudes. Sorry for the Hiatus.  Timing and colds prevented us from recording.   Hallow's Eve = good fun   Aprillian:   I felt like doing some tripl...

Now What is the Question. More Brewfest Brouhaha and other deep World of Warcraft discussions with Aprillian and Glanthur. Grind or not to Grind, is that the question?  Episode 42 - The Answer What is the question? Welcome to listeners who found us via Podcast Alley. Aprillian: Got a little big hung up on the Brewfest. I want the Ram for Rilfire, level 51 Tauren so she can't leave the Kodos behind...

Brewfest http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/events/brewfest/ Ram Racing     Lots of fun, takes some finesse. Barkers Wanted Mystery Hunts Aprillian:  New Hunter Twink Orc Quea, now 7. Dual boxed with Rilfire, level 51 Tauren Hunter and Auntrillia along with Ashayo who had Jekle and Hiide.  We went to Jentha A'Lor for [50+] Separation Anxiety - from Huntsman Markhor in Revantusk Village [51+] Want...

First we would like to apologize for the poor sound quality in the previous 3 or 4 episodes. We were experimenting with internet recording and obviously we haven't worked out the kinks yet. So we are back to recording together in Aprillian's "studio". Second, someone asked if we had message boards. Well we aren't really geared for that. But, if you would post a comment in this blog, we will respon...

What We've Been Doing This Week Glanthur: My goal for this week is to start getting all of my lower-level alts up to at least level 10 (and that all-important, first skill point). I figure that doing that will help me get out of the frustration I'm feeling by not having a nice Alliance guild for Glanthur and Arlaerus to join on the Earthen Ring server. Also, finally got the PTR Test Realm up and r...

Aprillian got mad at an AH Profiteer. Glanthur is back and we've got emails.   Glanthur is back. What We've Been Doing I'm a little angry about this situation.  I make a little gold selling Dragonhawk Hatchlings from Eversong Woods on the Alliance AH. Emails: From TomiBoy  and Marco   http://ctrlaltwow.com for more notes.

Glanthur is out of town, and Ashayo graciously steps in to cohost. Casual vs Hardcore? Fun vs. Method? Just what constitutes a casual player? Are there different layers of casualness? Aprillian plays around 40 hours a week. But still plays in a casual manner. How does a casual casual player play. What we've been doing this week. All of my alts have been sending greens to Aprillian and Veyle to DE....

The show's subject was prompted by an email from a listener on how to deal with guild drama. What we've been doing. Ardrion, Level 28 was attempting to complete some quests in 1k Needle but ends up dying too much, so he brings in Aprillian. Used Auntrillia to go to Winterspring and Moonglade to get enchant recipes for Veyle Speaking of Veyle, she's my level 37 Rogue and for the first time in a lon...

What we've been doing Auntrillia in Outland Rilfire in WC with Relaq - Relaq is now unrested and tried to take her to SFK to level. I now think this is the wrong aproach Veyle made some Green Iron Hauberek - blue chest mail - I need money for all of my characters. Sometimes you go for the loot and the levelling and of course the fun, but then sometimes you just need gold to train. With many alts,...

What We've been doing:   Aprillian and Server downtime - Earthern Ring was down for 48 hour maintenance. Drove me crazy. I have alts on 4 other servers, but none that mean as much as the ones I have on Earthern Ring. So I made a resolution, I'm not going to put all of my eggs in one basket. Aprillian levelled herbalism so she can get flower for Treshel. Glanthur: I've been working on Arlaerus. He'...

What We've Been Doing.... Arlaerus: I found a nice bit of writing in the game. As a BE, I had to help an undead NPC create a "new plague" and one of my quests was to test this plague on a human's dog, Stanley, in Hillsbrad Foothills. Well, as I was questing with my Draenei, Arlaerus, one of the Alliance NPCs said that his friend in Hillsbrad had to recently put down his dog Stanley because it "gre...

What Aprillian has been doing: Twinking Pri - Networking helped, (guildies, internet) reworking my characters for alliance selling because of mail changes. Putting alliance at Neutral AH and Alliance in Exador on same account. This way, anytime I want something from alliance AH, I can now get it at once. Ally on Exador buys it, sends it to Ally in Booty Bay, who then puts it on neutral AH and my H...

What we've been doing.... Aprillian * Twinking out my twink Pri, level 14 Rogue Orc. o Running her through Deadmines + With Aprillian, level 32 Warlock (for soulstones and summons) + With Rilfire, level 50 Hunter, to clear mobs Stop your whining Battlegrounds - the truth behind AV and AB. Twinks are they really bad...? misconceptions - Complaining about the AH and that they didn't want to buy a re...

One thing about WoW, it does require some thought. It's not a button masher. The choices you make affect your game play. There are many levels of playing What we've been doing: Aprillian Twink Fever Pri Orc Rogue - why orc - I like the look of one of the faces and the pigtails Got her to 6 in Durator and then ran her to UC and then Silvermoon to complete levelling, I like Silvermoon. AH FTW - Look...

What We've Been Doing Aprillian Leveling crafts - there's something almost hypnotic about it. I keep thinking of that game that was played on ST TNG, the one Riker brought back from Risa that rewarded the player when they got a ball in a hole. Treshel is leveling alchemy Rilfire is leveling LW - She got to Thrallmar Getting caught up on making a particular item. Veyle, the BS, is basically a tool...

What we did this week Auntrillia went to Stralholme and ninja's a ring (by accident) Morion is almost level 14 - how I like Horde and BE's so far.... - Stop and Smell the Roses (or harvest them if you're an herbalist) Best places to hang that are mob free Is fishing all it's cracked up to be? - In-Jokes - Alliance vs. Horde Starting Area Favorites - Stupid Things Overheard - Most of the episode co...

Meet Glanthur - Plays a lot of Alliance and hopefully will bring an insight into the podcasts. We just talked freely, with no set struction. Email Hi Aprillian, I just wanted to quickly send you a screenshot of the talbard I won for your contest. Have you ever seen a better dressed/looking dead guy!!! LOL Thanks much, Karbiziz We got a good feel of speaking together. I look forward to doing more p...

Mini Goals Got Auntrillia to 58 and she's gone through the Dark Portal. It was very exciting. I didn't know how to get there, I felt stupid asking because everyone seeemed to know. For those that don't know, you can fly to Swamp of Sorrows, either from Undercity or Camp Gromgol into Stonard, then go south into the Blasted Land and follow the road all the way down until it splits, take the right ha...

What's been going on: Multiboxing Galore - Triple boxed Wailing Cavern with Ashayo dual boxing. Me on Treshel, Aprillian and Ardrion; Ashayo on Jenkle and Hiide Obsessed with Cooking Levelling up Treshel to 300 and Rilfire to 333. Making choices on whether to keep cooking the items I could make and might not get skill points or passing objects on to Treshel Auntrillia doing silly Crater quests jus...

Grinding Rep and Helping alts and silly transfers. Closing tag contest extended 1 more week. Silly things I did this week Transfer an alt from one account to another just to see if the Netherwelp from the Collector's Edition would transfer.  It did Log into my toons on the Baelgun server and take everything of value from most characters and put everything on Sherrinna the Level 14 Priest so I can...
