MMORPG.com World of Warcraft Correspondent Brian McCann writes this overview of the Warlock class in Blizzard's massive hit game.Jack of all trades, master of none pretty much describes a warlock in most people's minds. The last part of the saying that is often omitted, according to Adam Sage, is "though often better than a master of one". I think the figure of speech really sums up what a warlock truly is and what it adds to the game. I started playing a warlock when some of my friends that had picked all of the other classes asked me to join World of Warcraft and start a warlock so they could have one of every class in the guild. I soon thought they were more enemies than friends.

Hallow's End begins October 18 and continues until November 1.

MMORPG.com World of Warcraft Correspondent James Alderman writes this article that outlines some of the undesirable elements in players when you are trying to recruit for a raiding guild in Blizzard's popular MMORPG.When The Burning Crusade was released, it had a large impact on raiding guilds. Some guilds remained unchanged, others splintered off and some disbanded completely. While a lot of old players who had quit playing WoW came back once the expansion was released, some quit altogether. So to say that The Burning Crusade shook up the raiding scene is something of an understatement. While the transition from 40-man raid dungeons to 25-man dungeons was more drastic than the transition will be to WotLK raiding, there will still be enough of a difference to also have an effect on raid ...

MMORPG.com World of Warcraft Correspondent Deborah Dietrich writes this article discussing Vanity Pets in Blizzard's World of Warcaraft adn what the upcoming expansion might mean for collectors. There are lots of fun changes coming to vanity pet ownership with the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion for Blizzard's World of Warcraft. But what exactly are vanity or mini-pets, as I prefer to call them? Well, mini-pets are a variety of small creatures, which exist in World of Warcraft for no useful purpose beyond the fun of owning them. They live quietly in your pack or your bank, demanding nothing from their owners. They have no value in combat. They won't get you a raid slot. They won't help your Arena team. Many folks are indifferent to them, but for those who collect these winsome c ...
