BBB Discusses Cat Form Versus Bear Form (Feral Druids)

BBB answers a reader's question about what sort of druid is the best to play. Interesting reading for anyone considering what type of feral druid they want to play as he talks about the trade-offs a feral druid has to consider when leveling and playing.

BBB Runs A PUG Again

Big Bear Butt Blogger ran a Pick Up Group (PUG) last night. His article is sort of funny and sort of sad, but I have to say the Solo MMO Player sees this sort of behavior in-game constantly.

How Cataclysm Will Change Guilds

Cold Comfort's blog specializes in guild leadership topics. (The site's motto is All Guilds Suck, We Suck Less.) His articles are well thought out and expressed clearly, so if you are interested in how guilds are going to change once the new Cataclysm expansion pack comes out and all the implications of these changes, this is a Must Read.

Here are Karatheya's five postings about how he thinks guilds will change in Cataclysm. As always I will update this posting each Monday and Thursday until all the articles appear. Search using the keywords Cataclysm and guilds to find this later on.
