Return to Azeroth





I suppose I should preheat the oven. Tonight I'm eating my hat.

Thought we had left this place behind us but, with the lure of old friends who, let's face it were the real attraction to playing these online games, we have bit the bullet and returned to World of Warcraft.

Not that Age of Conan wasn't a fabulous game, on the contrary it was too good. There was too much to do, too many places to go and too little time to really get to grips with such an expansive and detailed game that we ended up playing less and less and eventually cancelling our subscriptions for.

Then a whisper came from over the frozen wastes of Northrend.

We left a handful of good friends there, guys whose humour and conversation we have missed and, although we have made some good friends by treading other waters for a while (you guys know who you are) we could never replace the community we had built up there.

And so we return.
