In Azeroth, players will encounter many different factions throughout the world. By completing certain quests or killing certain creatures, players are able to gain favor with some of these factions. Gaining reputation with certain factions allows players to purchase items or undertake quests that are unavailable to other players. Players have a bonus to their starting reputation with their own race's faction. Undead Forsaken players have lower-than-normal starting reputation with their team's Troll, Tauren, and Orc factions. All members of both the Horde and Alliance are reporting low stockpiles of various textile resources! Donations of cloth are now being accepted in the following locations: Darnassus, Stormwind, and Ironforge for the Alliance; Orgrimmar, Undercity, and Thunder Bluff for the Horde.

Listed below are items that are rewarded when you turn in different decks. Decks are created by collecting cards which can be looted from various creatures around the world. Once you have all the cards of a specific deck, you combine them to create a deck. There are four types of decks: the Beast Deck, the Elementals Deck, the Portals Deck, and the Warlords Deck. In the vast gray of Desolace lies the earthen tomb of Zaetar, fallen Keeper of the Grove and son of Cenarius. Zaetar rejected his Keeper heritage when he joined with the princess of the chaotic earth elementals, Theradras. Their unholy union gave birth to the misshapen and cursed centaur, who promptly slew their father for his part in their misbegotten creation. Fearful of Cenarius' wrath, the grief-stricken Theradras sequestered her dead lover's body in her secret sanctuary, the Crystal Caverns of Therramok, where she watches over him to this day.

Skills are grouped into several categories: professions, secondary skills, weapon skills, class skills, armor proficiencies, and languages. Your character's skills can be viewed on the skills tab of your character sheet. Professions are the major trade skills available to all classes, such as tailoring and mining. A character can only have two professions at any given time. Secondary skills, such as fishing and first aid, are also trade skills but have no restriction on how many can be learned. Weapon skills include all weapons that a character is able to use. Many weapon skills need to be learned, as your character only starts with a handful of skills he can learn.

The most efficient way to gain reputation is to first kill monsters in the first two wings of Hellfire Citadel, Hellfire Ramparts & Blood Furnace, until you reached Honored – without doing the quests in Hellfire Peninsula. You can also repeat the PvP quest, "Hellfire Fortifications," to gain a slight amount of reputation until you are partly through Honored. After you reach the maximum rep level from these methods, then you should try to complete every quest you can in Hellfire Peninsula. Once you run out of quests, doing Shattered Halls (the level 70 wing) will be the primary method to continue to gain reputation in Honored and Revered. You will probably have to leave Hellfire Peninsula, then level up to 70 and come back and finish getting your reputation in Shattered Halls.

For those of you who enjor thoroughly avalyzing World of Warcraft’s class composition through armory data, do we have the site for you! Okoloth has started his own armory database—he queries the armory for characters and then feeds the information back in to a local database where he can compile statistics on the overall playerbase. The downside to the project is that it’s difficult to get a comprehensive list of all players—Okoloth gets his player list by first checking all players on Arena teams and then querying every player in those players’ guilds. So this data isn’t 100% accurate simply because it’s not pulling 100% of character information—however, I’d say the 40,000 character profiles queried gives us a reasonable slice of the overall population.

Ever looked at your Armory page and thought “this is nice, but I wish I could put it on another web page”? Well, now you can! MMO Guildsites has created a widget that can be embedded anywhere you like (guild rosters, maybe?), and consists of an iframe linking to a script that runs on their servers (so you don’t need any server side script support on your own site). The output is rather pretty, as you can see at right, in fact, I like it better than the actual Armory in many ways. It does have a few shortcomings—you can’t see how much + damage you have in various schools, for instance, but I still like it as a way to put live Armory data anywhere you want it. If you’re interested, click over to their site, put in your server and character name, and it’ll generate a preview and HTML for you to paste wherever you want it.

The first step when facing any error or crash is to close down WoW and remove the WTF, WDB and Interface folders from the World of Warcraft game directory. These folders contain temporary data and frequently altered files that may have become corrupted. This will also remove any custom UI's that may contribute to the problem as well. You can move these folders to the desktop or another directory if you wish to retain the data, however for now please start WoW without those folders present. Also do not use any third party programs to start WoW; often some custom UI's will place a shortcut for you to start WoW from, please use the (Launcher.exe) in the World of Warcraft directory. The lag for many players (as evidenced by their complaints on the channels) last night after voice was enabled and the World servers crashing.. was horrible.
