Bonne et heureuse année à tous – Hyborian Adventures
Dec 31st
Bonne et heureuse année à tous
Une décade de ce nouveau millénaire a passé et nous espérons que vous célébrerez cet évènement comme il se doit, en laissant vos braillements barbares combler le vide de cette année écoulée et en vous réjouissant des nouvelles aventures qui vous attendent.
« Laissez-moi vivre intensément tant que je vis, laissez-moi goûter aux joies des juteuses viandes rouges et au picotement du vin sur mon palais, a la chaude étreinte de bras féminins, à la folle exultation lorsque les lames bleues senflamment et rougissent dans la bataille, et je serai heureux. »
- Robert E. Howard (Queen of the Black Coast)
L’équipe communautaire vous souhaite à tous une excellente année 2010 !
Two Bosses Enter: Anub’Arak vs. King Dred
Dec 31st
Two Bosses Enter … but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW.com’s series of fantasy death matches. Welcome to the semi-finals of the five-man Wrath of the Lich King season. Scroll to the end of the last round’s post for a listing of semi-final matches. Grab a seat, and let’s get ready to rumble!
Welcome to the semi-finals of the Wrath of the Lich King Original Five-Mans season of Two Bosses Enter, One Boss Leaves! This week’s matchup is big — really, really big. In fact, we’re thinking about expanding the Two Bosses Thunderdome so that our opponents can physically fit inside (and because these adds are not something we want running loose in the stands).
Top-seeded Anub’Arak of Azjol-Nerub squares off against the ever-popular King Dred in this week’s Thunderdome match. There are sure to be plenty of hasty conclusions: “It’s Anub, man — he rocks ToC!” (wrong fight there, dude) and the inevitable “OMNOMNOM” of the dino fanboys. Rescuing us from the tedium are our loyal fans, who’ve built an entire season of convincing scenarios that make weighing your vote a real pleasure. Be sure to read (and contribute to) the comments before you cast your vote — you just might change your More >

Feliz Año Nuevo 2010 en Hiboria
Una década del primer milenio ha pasado y esperamos que todos vosotros podáis celebrarlo mientras hacéis oir vuestro rugido barbárico en el vacío del año que pasa y dar la bienvenida a las aventuras que están por llegar.
Permíteme vivir profundamente mientras viva; permíteme conocer los ricos jugos de la carne roja y la calidez del vino en mi paladar, el ardiente abrazo de brazos blancos, la loca exaltación de la batalla cuando las hojas azules arden en carmesí, y yo esté contenta.
– Robert E. Howard (La Reina de la Costa Negra)
¡Os deseamos a todos lo mejor y un Feliz Año Nuevo en Hiboria!

Frohes Neues Jahr in Hyboria! – Hyborian Adventures
Dec 31st
Frohes Neues Jahr in Hyboria!
Ein Jahrzehnt des neuen Jahrtausends ist vorbei und wir hoffen ihr alle feiert und lasst euren barbarischen Ruf die Leere des vergehenden Jahres füllen und all die Abenteuer, die da kommen mögen willkommen heißen!
Lasst mich das Leben auskosten, solange ich lebe; Lasst mich die reichhaltigen Säfte des roten Fleisches und des stechenden Weines auf meiner Tafel erleben, die heiße Umarmung von sanften Armen, den wahnsinnigen Rausch des Kampfes, wenn die blauen Klingen brennen und blutrot glänzen, dann bin ich erfüllt.

General: Community Spotlight: Why Are People Into F2P MMOGs?
Dec 31st

Raid Rx: 2009 Boss healing awards
Dec 31st
Every week, Raid Rx will help you quarterback your healers to victory! Your host is Matt Low, the grand poobah of World of Matticus and a founder of No Stock UI, a WoW blog for all things UI, macro, and addon related.
Welcome to the 2009 healing awards where we look back on some of the craziest healing encounters introduced in Wrath of the Lich King. Which fights frustrated healers the most? Which ones involved a ridiculous amount of healing? Which boss went directly against our role as healers? The judging panel should have consisted entirely of gnomes, but Wilfred Fizzlebang was unable to make it at the last minute and I was asked to step in at the last minute to help finalize the results.

"Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content."
We wish you all the best and a Happy New Year in Hyboria.- Robert E. Howard (Queen of the Black Coast)

Healing & Addons
Dec 31st
Ghostcrawler answered some feedback given about the Healer’s Column article in the World of Warcraft Magazine.
Our intent isn’t to discourage the use of add-ons. Our intent is to allow players who don’t want to use add-ons to be able to get by without. The advances we made to the default UI with things like Equipment Manager and the new Quest Map are with that direction in mind. Some players just like add-ons or are very particular about specific functionality. That’s cool. They can continue to use what they enjoy.I’ve healed a lot with and without Grid and similar mods. The default raid UI is adequate for healing, but only adequate. This is definitely a chunk of the UI that we’d next like to improve. Being able to show both buffs and debuffs at the same time feels like a necessity. Some healers will continue to want to use additional mods and that’s their prerogative.
Do you think this is the right approach for Blizzard to take toward third party programs?
