Character Planner!

What does every Rogue like to do when they aren't killing squishy mages in game... Dreaming of gear of course. Every Rogue has a moment between killing mages in his dreams where he sees himself fitted out in shiny new suit of his choice.

If your one of those Rogues then you should check out Character Planner! This one takes equipping your character to the next level and has some very nice features. The search is super fast and even has "drag and drop" on to the template. Overall a very clean app and easy to use.

On a Side note this is the 100th Blog post of RogueSpot... Holy crap mang! Thats almost a blog post every 3 days... for a year... and if you consider that RogueSpot didnt really take off til November of last year its even a closer ratio.

Battlegroup Forums are up @ RogueSpot!

With the advent of the Battlegroup in World of Warcraft it was suggested that we give people that share battlegroups a way to chat and communicate about all things PvP!

We have created 11 new forums at RogueSpot one for each Battlegroup. If you can't see them right away thats ok. I will briefly explain how to make them show up.

Directions:
  • The first thing you need to do is use this list and find out which Battlegroup your server is part of.
  • After you determine your battlegroup you need to look at the top of the roguespot forums for a text link that reads "Usergroups"
  • Click the Usergroup link and you will be presented with groups you are currently a member of and non member groups.
  • Use the non member groups drop down and find the item that specifies your battlegroup. ie. If you are in Battlegroup 2 you need to find the group called... Battlegroup 02!
  • Once you've located the battlegroup on the drop down click the "View Information" button next to it.
  • When the information for the group "Battlegroup 02" comes up you will notice a button labeled "Join Group" when you click this button you may get a confirmation.
  • After accepting you can now return to the RogueSpot Forums main page and you will be able to view the new Battlegroup 02 Forum.


If you have several characters spread across several servers you may want to join more then one battlegroup. This is perfectly acceptable you may choose to join as many battlegroups as you want... or none at all. The purpose of this system is to reduce forum clutter for those that dont care about battlegroups or just want to partake in discussions related to their own battlegroup.

The RogueSpot Team will be monitoring the forums and all the normal rules of "common sense" apply to the new discussion areas. We hope that you enjoy them and encourage you to read this topic on how to make the most of the new forums.

Respectfully,
Cerias Shadows

We hope that this letter is the first step to establishment of a long
and pleasant relationship.

Sincerely

I have a couple of issues with the above email... I honestly dont know where to start... first if he has really researched RogueSpot at all he would have seen the NO GOLD logo on our site. Perhaps he didnt know exactly what that means though? Ill let it slip. Spell checker and grammar checker work great at removing broken english. Also 1 year of experience in the MMO market is not exactly anything to boast about. Additionally since your current site is so successful that is straining your infastructure you think it is wise to advertise on my site and pull in additional traffic?

Also,we have another good idea

This has to be the best line of the whole thing... just one question? Whats the first good idea? Up until now gold farmer offers have been relatively non existant at RogueSpot. I always assumed it was the no gold advertisement that kept them away! Obviously my good luck could not last forever as it was only a matter of time before a gold farmer that did not speak english happened across this site.

My official response is this:

I don't make deals with GOLD FARMERS!

If you need a voice to put to this statement use the disney movie the "Emperors New Groove" im sure you can figure out which line im refering to.

If you run a fan site and have been approached by gold farmers / sellers or are worried about paying for the hosting of your site. Please contact me or one of the Azzor Community Admins. Also check out http://nogold.org/

Respectfully,
Cerias Shadows
