What’s Going On • Before we head into the meat of the podcast, I’d like to address some comments about last week’s Special Video Presentation o Sorry about the sound quality, didn’t realize the battle sounds were so loud o I use an Iogear KVM switch that allows me to move back and forth between the two computers using ctrl ctrl o Combinations best suited for dual boxing • In the video Warlock and...

What’s Going On I’ve decided to restructure Ctrl Alt WoW. There will now be just four sections: What’s going on Tips for playing with Alts Email Closing Thoughts I think Alt Round up will be mentioned in each section. I am doing this because I find myself holding back on something an alt did in the ohther sections and then skipping over it in Alt Round Up as I go down the long list. Created 2 char...

What’s Going On My husband and I had dinner with another couple on Friday Night. I had spent all day Friday on WoW and I was rather excited about the fun things I had done. I mentioned something that happened in the game. To my surprise, the woman of the couple had never heard of WoW and after trying to explain it, she called Online games a “complete waste of time”. What I did this week Embracing...

What’s Going On Talk about Guilds First Guild – Everyone rushing to 60 soon fell behind – first taste of drama Second Guild – One day logged on and it didn’t exist – felt homeless and confused • Regrouped, got stronger, felt good • One day we got a message everyone was joining another guild o Felt betrayed o Decided to make a guild of one – Enjoyed it, especially with dual boxing Then came The Ins...

I got two whole emails Email #1 Hello! First, thanks so much for doing the show! I also especially appreciate your taking the extra effort to put chapters, artwork, and notes in for iTunes. :) It's extra work and I appreciate it lots! My first question is: How do you decide which alts to focus on at any one time? I only have 10 characters, all on the same server, but even that is enough to put me...

Alea iacta est New Phrase for us Alt Addicts – Instead of Main player, I have a Main Server Does anyone else Dual Box? Ran around Darkmoon Faire – it was fun, got the mugs of Dark Iron Ale and got JubJub for Pril Cross area Hunter training doesn’t work WoW News http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/ I love the Armory World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade has established a new sales record for PC game...

What's Going On I spent some time "Seeding" Servers with my alts. The Lunar Festival is a great time to put alts up and get Flight Paths. Then when or if you want an alt on that server, then they already have the flight paths. I wanted a Ravager on my Blood Elf. I figured out a way to get my Horde Character into the Alliance starting area. All it took was some trial and error and some dying. WoW N...

No. 1. What’s Going On Observations • Dranei men sound like Worf’s father, is there a connection? Saw the Drainei mounts, very cool • Tip: If you are near and heading back to the inn you hearthed from and you need just one more space in your bag, you can destroy the stone and get a new one at the end House Cleaning • I took all of my alts to their banks and cleaned out their banks and bags. You pr...

What’s Going On Lunar Festival I don’t know about you, but I spent the weekend running my alts from city to city to pick up ancestry coins. While it might sound boring, it was actually quite enjoyable. Some alts got new flight paths and all the reputation points were well worth it. • Sometimes I only need 4 fireworks and 1 cluster bomb/got credit for 2 each time. • I did mostly the ones I could ea...

Valentine's Day has come to Azeroth • Undercity Guardians are both male and female, they respond to both perfume and cologne. • Silvermoon and Exador were bugged and you couldn't buy tokens, perfume or cologne from the innkeepers Addons I like • CharacterViewer • Auctioneer I'm still buying and selling on both Alliance and Horde servers. If you remember from a previous podcast I mentioned how I ra...

I WHAT’S GOING ON A. What I’ve been doing i. Redoing Podcast, didn’t like the shortness, I felt rushed, going to try to make it less “ummish”. ii. 2.0 features I’ve been trying 1. Quick Loot – you can choose to just right click to loot instead of shift right clicking. Shift right clicking has the opposite effect and opens the loot box so you can pick and choose 2. Re-doing Talent trees – this is a...
