Michael Jackson Tribute NPC in WoW

Conjude — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:03:07 +0000

OK, I know there isn’t really a Michael Jackson NPC but my question to you is: If there was a Michael Jackson tribute NPC what would his name be, what race/class would he be and where in the WoW world would he be? We all know that the Male Night Elves dance comes from the Billie Jean video, so would his race be Night Elf? What would his quest be, looking for a magic pair of shoes?

I know this is a silly question but it came to mind this morning while listening about the 1 year anniversary of MJ’s Death.

Side Note: While we’re talking about Night Elves dancing, here is that original dance for the female Night Elves J’en ai marre

Paladin: 1 Handed Weapon or 2 Handed Weapon?

The first noobie question I had for my new paladin was: Should my paladin use a (1H) 1 handed weapon with a shield or a (2H) 2 handed weapon? After doing some research it looks as if you’re soloing (like I am) you should go with the 2 handed weapons, this allows for a faster kill with more DPS. Since Paladins have great armor already you don’t really need the extra armor of a shield unless you’re tanking for a group. If you’re going to start doing groups right away, I’d start using a 1 handed weapon and a shield. It’s always good to have the extra set in your bag, just in-case. But at a lower level we really don’t have the bag space to be carrying around extra weapons and armor. So for me, until I gain some extra levels, it’s going to be a 2 handed Mace.

Getting Kicked out of my Shatt Home

Just a quick couple notes: When you choose your faction in Shatt, go check where your HearthStone is set to, believe me, it sucks to Hearth home and guards are suddenly trapping you and kicking you out of the city!

Another note, comes from the WoW forums:

Ok this has annoyed me for god knows how long.

call me a noob, call me what you will, but it is extremely annoying the amount of times I’ve arrived in the inn in shat aldor or scryer and i’m 90% of the time facing the wrong way. always trying to run out of the inn and end up in the inn instead of shat city.

ok i may be petty for saying this but does anyone else get annoyed with this or is it just a case of “get over it dude” and move on =)

Elphie kindly answered:

Stand where you want to be when you hearth in. Talk to the innkeeper and get a new hearthstone.

Your position when you hearth in is based on where you were standing when you get the set hearthstone spell cast on you. Hope that helps!

I’ll be fixing that tonight for myself!

What are your thoughts on DKP

Dragon Kill Points (usually abbreviated with the acronym “DKP”) designates a kind of currency which is earned by participating in endgame raids, and spent by acquiring loot from endgame bosses. The term DKP is also frequently used to designate raid-level loot system in general. The most popular systems for endgame loot distribution are point-based (and thus DKP systems). The very first endgame loot distribution system was developed by the guild Afterlife in 1999 and named for the original two EverQuest end bosses, both of whom were dragons

This week my guild is starting to use DKP, I helped set up the site and using it with decay seems like the best option for getting plums when there are 25 people. What are your views on DKP and does your guild use it, want to use it or do you have horror stories of it?
