A Feral Druid Ruminates on Cats Versus Bears

Of Claws and Paws asks why most feral druids are playing as cats and comes up with a four letter answer-gear.  The rest of the article explains how gear for cats and bears has changed over the life of the game.

Guildwatch: Guilds at the Center of the Universe

It is Wednesday again and Guildwatch is back!  My favorite drama involves the guild Legion Unleashed whose GM just left.  The replacement was kicking out members right and left, complaining about the officers, etc.  It was a mess, enough so that the replacement GM applied to another guild and told them right on the application he planned to ninja his old guild bank.  There's honesty and then there is honesty, I guess.  Not surprisingly, the new guild didn't accept the replacement GM, especially after the forums had his fellow members piling on complaints about him.  Our hero (or villain) has a classic quote in the forums in response:  "these guilds in which this game is revolved around is udder bull*%#*".  He also claims that everyone will fail without him. So guilds are not the center of the universe but he is?  I'd be more impressed if his grammar was better, frankly.

As usual, there is more drama in the link above, where you'll find many guilds downing instances and others recruiting but none of them on the Solo MMO Players' guild.

Key Binding for Multiple Healer Alts

Miss Medicina talks about how she organizes her key bindings for the multiple healers she plays so she doesn't get too confused when switching among her characters.  The Comments section has other interesting organizational ideas.

Independent Battlegrounds Players

Cassandri at Hots and Dots (who is a healer) has an interesting article up about Battlegrounds and how independent players work there.  She calls them Lone Rangers.  They aren't exactly solo players but they act independently.
