The Best of WoW Insider: September 2011

Curulan: Pigeon raid boss. I love it. GET ON THIS, BLIZZARD.

September was pretty much all patch 4.3, all the time. The PTR didn’t actually go live until close to the end of the month, but we definitely made up for lost time when it did. Transmogrification thoughts still dominated the site’s more idle discussion — who doesn’t love cool-looking gear? — but art-related talk kicked into high gear once everyone saw the visual proc off the new rogue legendary. That would go on to provide one of December’s better jokes.

The Best of WoW Insider: August 2011

Candida: Knitting Grandmas would be an awesome guild name.

Money, money, money, money. Money! August saw an avalanche of money and gold-related discussion as Blizzard announced that Diablo 3 would feature a real-money Auction House. Oh, and Blizzard registered Mists of Pandaria as a trademark, spurring an endless series of fights on what the hell was going on with that. And then it announced transmogrification and void storage, and we all forgot about pandas for a bit in the interest of farming old raids for some sweet-looking gear.

And holy mother of God, Drama Mamas was on a roll this month.

The Best of WoW Insider: July 2011

Rekon13: To make you look at other gearing options, we’ve decided to remove other gearing options.

July was a very busy month for the site. Patch 4.2 hit in late June and with it, the Molten Front, Firelands, and a slew of mechanics and policy changes for the game. The latter is something you’ll see pop up in our news coverage quite a bit — but for my money, the best news item from July 2011 concerned a theme park in China that was just too troublesome to license.

The Best of WoW Insider: June 2011

Merry Christmas to all those of you who celebrate! June 2011 was a pretty patch-oriented month. 4.2 was still on the PTR, and we slowly wound our way through the content there, writing as we went. As with patch 4.1, it was a late entrant in the month it debuted, so you’ll see most of our commentary from the live servers in July.

The best of WoW Insider: May 2011

Does WoW ever creep you out?
NoYou Read trade for more than 20 seconds and you can make a strong case against evolution.
CloakedDrifter The Goldshire inn on Moon Guard. *shudder*
MattKrotzer It creeps me out that one of the quest writers has such a fascination with poop, and making us sift through it.

This was a news-heavy month due to patch 4.1′s dropping in late April and the quick arrival of patch 4.2 on the Public Test Realm. However, it was also a vibrant month for the arts scene, and WoW Archivist was en fuego in May. Did you know that Molten Core shipped with a third legendary? Don’t lie.

Breakfast Topic: Happy Festivus from WoW Insider

Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on Dec. 23 as a way to celebrate the holiday season without participating in its pressures and commercialism. It was created by writer Dan O’Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a screenwriter for the TV show Seinfeld, as part of a comical storyline on the show. The holiday’s celebration, as shown on Seinfeld, includes an unadorned aluminum “Festivus pole,” practices such as the “Airing of Grievances” and “Feats of Strength,” and the labeling of easily explainable events as “Festivus miracles.” — Wikipedia, retrieved Dec. 22, 2011

Now, I’m not one for doing an Airing of Grievances in public; that’ll be done tonight around the Festivus pole. But I do think we can talk about Feats of Strengths — after all, there have been some pretty awesome ones that’ve come up in WoW in recent years.

I think perhaps the best Feat of Strength of all time goes to Insane in the Membrane, because if you get that, then you’re really probably nuts and could find yourself dancing around the Festivus Pole (or you’re really awesome and I’m just jealous).

A close runner-up is the Scarab Lord Feat of Strength. The mount is amazing, and the title that goes along with it has to be one of the most unique things you can have in all of WoW. And since one a handful of people have this, most of us will just have to settle for the Why? Because It’s Red Feat of Strength.

Happy Festivus from WoW Insider! What of your Feats of Strength are you most proud of?
