World of Warcraft lonelyhearts, rejoice! Your fellow players have advice on how to improve your love life, or your prospects as the case may be: I hate Valentines day so.. so.. much. There’s joke advice and real advice — I’ll leave it to you to discern which is which. (For the firewall-challenged: Flickr screenshot of thread, page 1. All Sizes » Original for easier reading.)
World of Warcraft pushed a micro patch today, 2.0.7. A pleasant change for me: the download was rocket fast (relatively) through the Blizzard Shittorrent downloader today.
The items required to complete the Karazhan key quest can now only be looted by the first group in the instance to reach them.
That’s one of those “too bad for you slowpokes” type nerfs fixes. Fortunately, this time, they sorta announced this change ahead of time, via the Patch Test Realm notes. Many guilds, mine included, shoved all their slowpokes and alts through the Karazhan key instances last week in anticipation of the change.
Full patch notes after Le Jump.
Valentine’s Day is probably the least popular of the faux holidays, but if you approach it as an opportunity to throw out a wide net, you’d have more fun with it.
Witness World of Warcraft’s annual event, Love Is In The Air, and it smells like a whore. (I added that last part.)
Here’s the deal: you slather on perfume or cologne, depending on whether you want to offer yourself to male or female NPCs, and pass out valentines (aka Love Tokens) in exchange for quest items. To finish the major questline, you’ll have to pass out at least 45 valentines across your faction’s three major cities. That’s a wide net.
Even though I’m a big fan of sanctioned whoring-around (think Vegas), I could really do without the billion quest pieces and supplies.
And isn’t that the problem with modern love anyways? Too many quest pieces and supplies required.
