The Tournament Test Realm or TTR is now live and it's where players can create up to three max-level (70) characters of any class and have a cool selection of epic gear. Some readers have written in about having a little trouble actually getting on the server itself. It's really a simple process, and we'll show you how. In order to access the TTR, you first have to download the PTR client on Blizzard's download page. You don't need to have copied any of your characters over to the test realms -- the TTR is a completely different realm with various armor and other item vendors located at each race's starting area. As long as you have the PTR client, you should be able to access the TTR (although all test realms are down as of this writing).

An Open Letter to Blizzard

For many years we of the Horde have suffered the leader of the Forsaken having an inappropriately energetic bounce when she stands still for too long. For years we were under the impression that this was merely a temporary placeholder until you were able to give her a more appropriate model, however once patch 2.0 was released this was no longer the case. The model is here, the textures are there to be used and there is absolutely no excuse to not do this any longer.

Let’s assume for a moment that I know something about programming.

Not really new I guess, I had a couple of 60's long ago. I haven't played in more than a year and just picked WoW up again.

I went to a new server with some friends from work. I work and am married so I want to just play one toon now. I went with a Blood Elf pally because I've never seen the BE starting area or ever touched a Pally.

Seriously, I'm going to get a bout 15-20 hours a week to play at most, mostly in 1-2 hour spurts. Probably 95% of the time I'm going to be solo. A pally seems like it should solo well (I hope).
