Revisting Blogs about Classic WOW

I've started trying to find old class content from 2009 and earlier for the Classic WOW game.  It's not easy.  Most of the links with good information at one time are now dead and gone. Arcane Brilliance, SpicyTuna, Empowered Fire, Big Red Kitty, Psynister, they are all defunct.

But Critical QQ is still around, with lots of mage information.  This appears to be the first posting, Halloween 2007.  I recommend you rummage around as you'll get a real feel for what players were like in the original game.

This article about the Fire Mage in PvP is from Critical QQ in 2010.

Slice and Dice's article about mages destroying rogues on heroics might be useful.  He played a rogue back in the day, so don't look for much mage info here.  But if you are a rogue, this is the blog to explore.

Big Bear Butt is a famous hunter but this early article is all about feral druid specs.  Enjoy it if you are a druid but if you are a hunter, this is the Mother Lode.

Harpy's Nest is all about playing a priest or mage.  This is a typical article.  It lists all the places you can pick up the Polymorph spell if you are a mage.  Who doesn't want to turn stuff into a pig?

Finally, Frost is the New Black is all about playing a frost mage, a restoration druid and a shadow priest.  I'm not sure all the information on these characters is all Classic-specific, but it's a good place to explore.
