Blogger now works with iPad

It seems the recent changes to Blogger have added basic iPad compatibility.

I can't link images or do anything fancy yet, but it's a start.

A little problem

Sadly, Azeroth is still deeply gnomist, despite all of SAN's protests. This boat to Theramore is too high for a poor little gnome to get on board!

Fortunately, we gnomes are an ingenious race...

I think warlocks have infiltrated Blizzard HQ

According to the latest Catacysm patch notes, "Frost Armor is now trained at level 54. Up from 7".

So levelling mages who aren't frost now have one of their main means of defending themselves from incoming mobs removed. This won't affect raiding or instances, just a mage's ability to level.

Now betas are the right place to be experimenting with different game balance options, but this one is so bizarre that it's unfathomable. How did the design review meeting go?

Mages ahoy!

Gazimoff of Mana Obscura has proposed setting up a mage forum along the lines of The Warlocks' Den.

It's an excellent idea, so pop along here and support him.

Playing versus testing

My little gnome mage got into his first Dungeon Finder group yesterday, only to find himself the only non-worgen in every party I've been in. In some ways it's not surprising. Worgen are the new alliance race, so it's natural that people would want to try them out. However, the flip side of this is that the starter zones for the other races are almost empty.

Sometimes it pays to read the quest text

Reading this quest made me smile. I love gnomes...
