Please know that as the designer and developer of the War Storm site, I take this very seriously and I am a happy to update the site any time. I employ a team of developers and designers that can easily make the changes under my direction. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are 3 major areas to consider. One is the design and functionality, next is the content and structure of the site, and finally bugs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The design, color, images can be what ever you wish. Perhaps you want a new header image or vertically shorter header. Or you are simply sick of green and wish a lighter feel to the site. Or maybe a screen shot of us - the team, as the header. All of this I am happy to get done. The site is a standard forum based site developed in Dot.net technology. So other functionality besides forums currently does not exist.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The second area is the content and structure of the site. This is completely customizable by authorized users. Obviously this takes commitment and time but needs no additional development.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The final area are bugs. I am happy to investigate and fix any bug. It just needs to be reported. If you set up a bug reports on the forum and screen shot the bugs I will make every attempt to resolve them. I need to know where this has been posted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Its important to me that you all feel we have a high quality website. Especially if my signature is on it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I recommend a guild wide meeting - say 30 minutes to discuss what your priorities are regarding "Design" and "Functionality" and/or create a thread on what everyone would like changed. If we have a meeting, I will take copious notes and if the requests are possible I will have them completed. If your requests are for non-forum custom functionality, that might be a challenge since labor costs could run into literally 10s of thousands of dollars so these requests while possible will need to be addressed by priority and validated as necessary.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please also note that I have under raps a War Storm Wiki site. I presented it to Blixxus a while ago but the guild was just being reformed and he certainly had his hands full rebuilding War Storm so we really never delved into it. You can have this site if you wish but that will require a huge time commitment regarding content.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ball is in your court and I stand ready to serve :)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Zak :) :)</description><pubDate>Fri, 11 Apr 2008 22:27:34 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zaknif</dc:creator></item><item><title>HAI LOVERS!!</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic2441-6-1.aspx</link><description>Wud up big pimpin!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hope all is well with you's, grats on progression, keep it up!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tender, Jmiz, Meow, Blixx, Herbal...

The list of reasons are pretty obvious, and you all have one anyway so...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is the latest version, no other link will have a later version then this... so please download from here ALWAYS: &lt;br&gt;[url=http://files.wowace.com/Omen/Omen.zip]http://files.wowace.com/Omen/Omen.zip[/url]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The reason Omen seems to update so often is from the bugs, performance issues, or threat miscalculations that are constantly being discovered and patched right away. The author of Omen had to re-write the entire addon for the 2.4 patch due to the combat log changes, and it's not completely bug-free yet (as you can tell when you switch to anything but single target mode).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you really need to see what's being done in your latest download, you can check these links:&lt;br&gt;[url=http://fish.wowace.com/changelog/WowAce/trunk/Omen]http://fish.wowace.com/changelog/WowAce/trunk/Omen[/url]&lt;br&gt;[url=http://fish.wowace.com/changelog/WowAce/trunk/Threat-2.0]http://fish.wowace.com/changelog/WowAce/trunk/Threat-2.0[/url]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another way to update omen (I only recommend this if you have more than one ACE addon) is through WoWAceUpdater (the mac version is listed at the bottom of the page):&lt;br&gt;[url=http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WowAceUpdater]http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WowAceUpdater[/url]</description><pubDate>Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:59:58 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Delak</dc:creator></item><item><title>How to fix the spammy lame-*** combat log</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic2399-6-1.aspx</link><description>As the title says, taken from www.worldofraids.com&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How to stop framerate lag due to refiltering when you zone:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Issue: When you zone from an instance to the outside world, the combat log goes through a massive loop, pasting every combat log message in the last 5 minutes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why would I want to do this fix?&lt;br&gt;· You have framerate issues when zoning&lt;br&gt;· You have recently been in a combat sessions where there are many combat log events (e.g. raid boss encounters)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Instructions&lt;br&gt;1.

I remember when I first began posting in the Hunter forum, not too long prior to the release of TBC. The elitism there at the time was utterly without mercy. The Marks old school were far less tolerant of the existence of a Survival Hunter among them than the contemporary BM fanatics.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Yet I read the &lt;A href="http://nihilum.mousesports.com/en/article/55,does_blizzard_hate_raiders_/"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#223344&gt;recent&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;A href="http://nihilum.mousesports.com/en/article/49,the_devaluation_of_purple_/"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#445566&gt;material&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; written by some within Nihilum, and I grieve. If ever proof were available that WoW is indeed now dying, surely this is it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I don't deny that casual content is vital to the success of a game. However, casual content is necessary for outreach; to increase a game's &lt;I&gt;breadth.&lt;/I&gt; Earlier games like Ultima Online and Everquest were merciless grinds almost from a character's inception. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In that way, they existed in a state of imbalance, and that is also why they never became mainstream. The learning curve was close to vertical.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;World of Warcraft was the very first game of its' kind to really change this. It allowed breadth; it allowed for a much more horizontal learning curve, and so it in turn allowed for a much larger group of people to access it than was possible previously. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;When you create a new character in WoW, there's a person with an exclamation mark above their head standing right in front of you. You're immediately given somewhere to go and something to do. It eliminates confusion, and makes the learning of in-game concepts a gradual, stepped, and organically occurring process. It is obvious that any new MMORPG which follows will need to include these elements by default.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;However, there comes a time when pure linearity is something which at least some individuals need to evolve beyond. Multiple potential quest lines, multiple available zones or paths of progression, and the challenge inherent in finding which is appropriate, become necessary.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The early five man instances are gradually introduced. New skills become available over time, and as well, more effective and valuable items become available.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;At what is closer to the point of mastery, raiding and challenging encounters, on the other hand, are what give a game &lt;I&gt;depth&lt;/I&gt;. These elements are what also (to again borrow from Bartle's rationale as to such games' existence) solidify the emerging experimental personality, and allow the vicarious state of actualisation to be reached. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Ascension phase comes via a process which can be compared with climbing a mountain, and there is a fundamental psychological need for the last few meters to the summit to be bordering on literal impossibility, and to induce a state close to literal agony. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This is the point where, to use the Matrix as an analogy, time is slowed, gravity is defied, and projectiles are reversed. The individual comes over a long period of time to a point where they are able to believe that they have such abilities, and where the level of challenge present means that the use of such abilities becomes necessary.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The level of challenge here is also necessary, because only after that will the individual be able to believe that he or she actually &lt;I&gt;deserves&lt;/I&gt; what comes next. As Neo eventually discovers in The Matrix Revolutions, in a virtual environment in particular, the entire journey to the Ascension phase is actually unnecessary, although paradoxically, this can never be discovered until afterwards, which therefore means that it is. An individual always has their own power; thus, the journey is not so much about developing said power as it is about discovering it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In order for this to occur, however, the developmental catalyst is the overcoming of limitation and difficulty. The process cannot occur without challenge, because without challenge, there is no sense of progression, evolution, or forward movement. There is no scenario that an individual is thrust into, where the use of bullet time is made necessary, nor is there the tiered process by which the individual learns that the use of said abilities are indeed possible.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Not everyone who plays a game is going to go that far with it; indeed, most don't. Most are happy to continue with the casual or semi-casual material until such time as they are ready to pass on to some new activity. However, for a certain number among the population, such actualisation can and does occur, and is to the benefit of all. It benefits the rest of us because we can learn from individuals who have gone through the process, and it benefits said individuals because of the degree to which they have developmentally freed themselves.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;All of this may seem utterly ridiculous, given the fact that I am, of course, talking about a computer game. I would argue however, in extreme earnest, that in a world as socially and politically limiting as this one is becoming, any environment where self-actualisation in any form is made possible needs to be preserved and taken seriously. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As Richard Bartle also wrote, I think, self-actualisation in whatever medium it is possible is also the entire point of these types of games; as far as the service they render to human beings is concerned, it's the reason why said games exist. It's also already been proven in research that human neurology is literally unable to tell the difference between visualised/imagined or real imagery. You can say it's just a game as much as you want; but the consequences have as much ontological validity as if they were achieved anywhere else.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The current development staff may think that diluting the amount of challenge present in World of Warcraft entirely will only broaden the appeal of the game. If their only priority is the accumulation of subscription fees, then at least on a short term basis, I can understand the rationale for that choice.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;However, the consequences on a longer term basis, I think, will gradually be shown to be disastrous. Although not all players of this game proceed all the way to the Ascension phase, their purpose in playing it, (though they may not always consciously realise such) is likely to attempt to recreate their scenario in some way that is seen to be more positive than what they have offline.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Maybe they don't have a lot of money offline, and so love the idea of being in a scenario where, if they invest some effort, there is more certainty of them being able to get a decent suit of armor, or a big nether drake to sit around Shattrath on.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Maybe they'd secretly love to travel and explore new places, but their real life scenario, for whatever reason, doesn't allow that. WoW in terms of sheer geography is a reasonably large environment, and with the new expansion, is about to get bigger.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Maybe they want to learn how to relate to others more effectively, and also develop leadership ability, but because of offline physical problems, are forced to remain civilian.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The point is, that to a degree that some don't recognise, there is a fundamental human tendency to associate things of worth with the expenditure of effort to obtain them. If World of Warcraft becomes a game where the attainment of everything within it is easy, it will be a game where its' players are no longer able to get their needs met. This is the reason why we are already seeing the members of these raiding guilds leave, or at least become disinterested; WoW is no longer a means for them to meet these developmental needs, and they feel them more acutely and strongly than most.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sure, WoW's just a game. But then again...&lt;BR&gt;Isn't &lt;A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_%28illusion%29"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#445566&gt;everything?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; :)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 08 Mar 2008 07:53:24 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Twigjit</dc:creator></item><item><title>You Raid With These People!!!</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic2298-6-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;STRONG&gt;You raid with these people. You work with these people. These people are closer than your family. You should worry. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;The GM- He’s sacrificed his health, friends, and probably a couple of jobs to drag you through new content. When the guild isn’t performing, these decisions are in question. Prone to shooting sprees, forum flame wars, and the rapid advancement/gearing of whatever toon the guild “needs”. If you can keep your mouth shut, he’ll go emo and quit before you get gkicked. Still, you do like the guy. Or did. Before he went crazy. See drunks, below. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The GM's Significant Other- Okay, so he was going to have to quit but he tricked his SO into playing. She loves it. She's terrible. You'll effectively 24 man every boss. Count on 4 constructs in the raid, every attempt. She plays a Belf. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Raid Leader- When you stand in the flames, he dies a little bit inside. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Heir Apparent- When the GM goes psycho, ninjas the bank, and gdisbands, you're the guy the guild is gonna look to to to fix the mess. You see it coming. You can't decide if ritual suicide or being the new gm would be more painful. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Positive Officer- “That was great. Just great. You know, only 5% of guilds have even made it to Supremus, and getting him down to 67% on the second attempt is hawt.” See Stoners, below. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Negative Officer- “Jesus Christ why are there corpses under all these goddamn volcanoes? It’s Supremus for %@*@s’s sake. GET OUT OF THE GODDAMN FLAME!” See Drunks, below. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Healing Officer- Has this job because, as the newest officer who plays a healer, he’s stuck with it. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Hunter Class Lead- Will tell you that it does actually require skill and preparation to play a hunter well in the end game. Lies frequently. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Metermaid- He's got meters running. Always. Asks for meter postage whenever he's in the top 5, which is rare, as his focus on the meters is preventing him from seeing the volcano he's pathing towards. Pulls aggro. Has yet to realize that 0 health returns 0 dps. If he's healing, you might as well just put him on raid, he's gonna heal them anyway. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Stratman- Has read every strategy on the entire internet for every boss. Unable to think critically. Knows where his talk key is. Hated by the officers. Likely to play a hunter or mage. If this is also Chick With Accent, below, guild will probably collapse. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Gay Guy- Affects the gay accent for effect. Upgrade decisions tend to involve lengthy discussions about gear appearance. Learned to use the dressing room function before the ‘v’key. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Stay At Home Mom- She’s around children all day and craves adult conversation. Babbles incessantly in vent, forgetting that adult conversation doesn’t usually begin with, “So I was talking to (insert name of four-year-old child) and he says…” Well liked, but frequently muted. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Mikeless- Has a microphone. Hears the conversation and directions. Once wiped the raid because he started talking and most folks alt-tabbed to see who the hell was speaking. May be your best player. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Kid- So, you messed up on this guy’s interview and nobody noticed that he was 12. But, he can play. And if he gets a little bit excited when boobies are getting talked about? Hey, he’s young. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Backbone- Plays a tank. Doesn't have much to say. Made an error once in SSC, or so you heard. Will disconnect when Gorefiend is at 30% and keep aggro while offline for the rest of the fight. Has never said anything negative to the healers. Ever. GL with your progression without one of these. Hates the prima donnas. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Other kid- Remember that accountant you interviewed for the fury warrior position? And how you wondered how he’d make time to raid during tax season? He couldn’t. His eleven year old daughter took over about that time. She’s been raiding since. Mages, that’s an eleven year-old girl owning you night after night. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Hunter Who Doesn't Do His Homework- Always good for insightful commentary and clever observation just after a wipe. "Holy Crap Man! I was just standing and shooting and this damn VOLCANO popped on me! When did they put in those volcanoes?" &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Prophet- Kept insisting that you were going to need a melee group for BT, despite the fact hat melee was dreadful for SSC/BT. Badgered the management until they broke. Plays a rogue. Shreds. Loved by the Most Devout. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Most Devout- This is the guy who gets to play an off-spec in a big-boy raid. He's the fury warrior or the enhance shammy. He cannot believe that some fate is letting him have this much fun that he's afraid it will all come crashing down. Prays devoutly to his favorite diety that the guild won't collapse because he'll never have THIS much fun again. Ever. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Drunks- The core of your guild. As raid progresses, their voices in vent are getting just ever so slightly slurred. You don’t notice because you’re trying to sound sober yourself. DPS output seems to scale positively with blood alcohol content. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Stoners- Quietly wiping raids since the beta. They really, really, really hate having to move out of the fire. Two of them are dead under the volcanoes. They live in fear of the negative officer. They have their own channel. Try /join (insertguildname)stoners. You’ll see who’s in there. It’ll explain a lot. Still, if these guys don't show, bosses don't seem to actually die. They’re also having more fun that everyone else combined. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Prima Donna- Requires special attention from management. Constantly whining. Plays some vital role. Might be a main tank, mage tank, or lock tank. The officers really hate this guy and as soon as they can find another tank with 24,000 buffed HP, he’s out. Not a stoner. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Chick with the Accent- Is the accent fake? Nobody knows or cares. Future visits to Australia/Britian/New Zealand/Alabama are now planned by all single raid members. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Healing Pallie- Hates healing and had to go holy to see endgame. If you raid with a boomkin, a feral druid, a fury warrior, or any non-resto shaman, you are not getting a 10 minute blessing. Forget it. He hates you. God help you if he has a raid-viable alt in one of those classes; you're not even getting heals. Also, see Prima Donna. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Departed Legend- You joined after he left. You suspect that he could not actually solo Doomwalker. But you're not totally sure. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Disgruntled Raider- Took an unannounced, extended vacation and now has to share his raid spot with the other 11 extra dps. Very angry about this situation. Doesn't realize that ##@#*ing is making things worse. Officers pray for a gquit. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Warlock Whisperer- Directionally challenged. Despite having run Karazhan 1.26 million times, will require a summon to Maiden's room from the entrance. Has a "summon pls" macro. Strangely, is good at moving away from volcanoes. See (you guessed it) Stoners. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The New Guy- Begins most sentences with, "That's not how we did it in my old guild on Korgath." Likely to remain guilded for approximately one week. You wonder if he'll be tellign his next guild, "In my old guild, we ran TOWARDS the volcanoes. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Backup-He's the guy waiting in the wings for the raid slot. Totally dependable and plays about 200% better than the guy for whom he's filling in. He's got half the gear and puts out 20% more dps. Totally cool, amazingly competent. You love it when the main can't be there. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Buff-less Wonder - Plays a class with group buffs, but "forgets" to bring the necessary reagents. Highly skilled at turning a deaf ear and blind eye to buff assignments. If reminded, will proceed to slowly buff people one by one until someone else is overwhelmed by frustration and does it for them. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Pick Me! Pick Me!- This guy is online and ready to raid. Always. Need a prot warrior? He's got one. A holy pallie? Check. Problem is, he's really bad. Like bad bad. You keep him in the guild because he's... well, he's always been in the guild. So when your main tank, back up tank, and back up back up tank have vanished Mr. Pick is ready to rock, much to everyone else's horror. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Tootsie - Has a female toon. Claims to be female. Receives many of the benefits that the other females do, people are nice to her; she gets suspiciously good loot. Problem is, she's never posted a picture of herself, and she never talks on Vent. Could she really be a girl? Sure. But who's to know? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Dumbest Person On The Planet: No one's quite sure exactly what's wrong with this guy, perhaps human evolution really has come to a standstill. Will be the cause of 60% of your wipes until he gets a /gkick. Tell him to spread out and he'll glue himself to a squishy healer. Tell him to avoid something and he'll stand in it till dead, then complain that he didn't get any heals. Ask him to CC the yellow star and he'll pick the orange circle then claim bleeding wounds debuff on his target. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Obvious Explainer - This guy has read Wowwiki and probably written some of it. He will stop the raid for 15 minutes before each fight to explain to all the new people (of which there are none) that this guy might produce ground fire once in a while or that the hunter adds might shoot arrows. He'll warn that the boss can hit hard, tell everyone to avoid damage, and remind the healers that they need to keep the tanks alive. It makes you a bit worried that an obviously intelligent person thinks you need spoonfeeding</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Mar 2008 20:28:57 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Twigjit</dc:creator></item><item><title>Illidan video research</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic2301-6-1.aspx</link><description>http://youtube.com/watch?v=DqCkDcx6KIs&amp;mode=related&amp;search=</description><pubDate>Sat, 08 Mar 2008 05:37:06 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>tendermulva</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hey retmizius</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic2300-6-1.aspx</link><description>[img]http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/4547/retmiziusoq3.jpg[/img]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back in the day i edited a picture when i was bored.

Even better because there is proof that it is true.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So Temek (my good friend and pal) sends me a tell saying he wants to run Black Morass so he can do his Elixir Specc alchemy quest. Me being the great friend that I am (and knowing that he already discovered Pure Death) decided this would be a great idea and started putting a group together. To our dismay none of our friends who played either the tanking or dps classes wanted to go, so we were down to pugging it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First person i send a tell to is a priest / hunter combo who are already in the LFG for Black Morass. I send the priest a tell saying if they "disband their group, I'll invite them both and we'll just need a tank". The priest proceeds to tell me that "3 priests would never work, BECAUSE WE NEED CC." ... ... ... I proceed to explain to her that i'm in T5/T6 equivalent gear and that we'll be fine on DPS and there is nothing to CC, so there is no point in bringing someone who can CC.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The priest doesn't believe me and proceeds to demand that i "Link my gear" to her. I did. and the rest.. well... read for yourself...&lt;br&gt;[url]http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=crazywhorezn0.jpg[/url]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There was some more, but the screen shots didn't save... basically made my day...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;oh and:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPh2qJfG0zw[/url]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Because we were on the topic... fuckin hilarious as well</description><pubDate>Tue, 06 Nov 2007 04:08:10 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Lockbait</dc:creator></item><item><title>@Meowmix</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic1620-6-1.aspx</link><description>http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8095/wowscrnshot110907021146eu1.jpg&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know your secrets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS: It looks like he's saying "I CAN EXPLAIN!!" there.</description><pubDate>Sun, 11 Nov 2007 00:01:50 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Delak</dc:creator></item><item><title>Computer Workstation SS</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic1784-6-1.aspx</link><description>Thought i'd start a thread for this so ppl can see how and where other people play, and what they play on =)</description><pubDate>Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:32:49 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>diffstyle</dc:creator></item><item><title>Merry xmas / holidays from Roley!</title><link>http://war-storm.com/Topic1847-6-1.aspx</link><description>Hey guys, just wanted to wish everyone a Merry xmas and happy holidays.

So I reserve the right to post here and waste all your bandwidth. I decided I should post that screenshot after seeing Jmizius grab his package in the Anetheron kill-pic. I don't really like that rogue named Iaminvisible. He was talking ill of me to some people who were, unknown to him, friends of mine. So I proceded to not only rape him in a duel, but in the middle of Ironforge.
