TourGuide Interview: Copyright, Advertising, Blizzard and Addons

A fascinating and complex interview with TourGuide's creator, touching on how it became a vehicle of a paid leveling guide service,  how other leveling services used TourGuide, and with a bit about Blizzard's policy towards addons, including the problems with Carbonite's ads, PLUS what this all means.  A very convoluted story, with implications for the future and also copyright protection issues.

The above link is a followup article to an earlier posting that explains how World of Logs is used to figure out what has happened in-game so you can improve your raiding.  The earlier article is very detailed and useful for those trying to figure out how to use combat parsing tools so I've included that link also.

The Bestiary of Rare Mobs and Spawns

Twisted Faith mentioned a new blog this morning called Glimpses of Azaroth.  It focuses on the rare mobs and spawns in the game.  Each creature mentioned gets a description and photographs of it taken from the game are included.  It's a fun read that gives you a glimpse of the intricate universe Blizzard originally built into World of Warcraft.  Thanks for pointing this out, TF!
