Sneaky Troll

Nice to have some recognition!

The FAQ has been posted here and was originally compiled on the EU forums by Kyphosis, it’s rather in-depth but it’s all hyper-linked up for ease of use.  Enjoy!

Currently just released my new Plugin for Wordpress emulates mmo-champion so that you can post up blue posts. It’s all based off a CSS file and works pretty nifty – for example:

You can get the full plugin by clicking the above link or here. There’s instructions on the page

Messing around with CSS atm – so pay no attention to the above

After committing Goblin Genocide I finally got my new title: Bloodsail Buccaneer.

Here are some of the tips I’d give to any rogue attempting this:

• Keybind Fan of Knives
• Get to know the area and work out a route – for me this meant the entire Inn jumping down to the Auctioneers/Bankers and then making my way back
• Kill NPC’s – they give 5 rep, spawn a guard and although ultimately will piss other players off respawn quick enough for you not to be guilty
• Baron Revilgaz gives 25 rep
• The enemy flightmaster gives 25 rep and is a wimp (and causes no end of /spit emotes)
• You can sprint on the water with a minor glyph to get away from ranged guards if need be – this is the only way to do it I’m afraid it as those little buggers are the worst
• Don’t give up!
• Install a rep mod like Broker – Factions to help you get through it all and show your progress in a glance

Not wanting to get lazy though I headed straight over to Dire Maul North and began getting some rep back, I even bought a new tab on my guild bank to hold all the materials I’ve been collecting.  I also can’t wait to start selling some of the goodies I’m picking up on the way.

More on my Ashankt The Insane adventures tomorrow – make sure to keep an eye on the site as things develop into it

Sort of deleted the database to the site and with some personal stuff going on and the strange phenomena that is Christmas I haven’t had much time/care to sort it.

In the rest of my time I’ve been enjoying the 3 new heroics and all the triumph goodness that is 3.3.  Sure enough I switched to the new Poison-Ruptureless-Eviscerate spec and there is an improvement and to be honest I’m still pumping out 4.xk self buffed on a target dummy over a 5 minute period.

There is -nothing- special about my gear because I don’t raid, the only piece you couldn’t get in a pug are my heroic feet and if you knew you had decent players you could quite easily do the first boss in TOC as a pug in my opinion.

So, is the game becoming too easy?

No.  The new instance has 4 bosses and these have been cleared by your guild… on hardmode?  If so you’re one of the few to accomplish this as you must remember 99% of the people who play are incredibly casual.  Yes, raiding has become casual but there are alternatives.

As for me, well Ashankt the Insane has begun, it’s much less tedious grinding through something when you can queue for a BG/Heroic in between slaughtering goblins!

P.S. There’s still a few bits and bobs that need sorting on the site like SEO etc but spread the word, sneakytroll.co.uk is back on track

P.P.S. I found my academic essay on the social effects of MMO’s and will post it up tomorrow for your consumption, possibly convert to an easy to read web format.
