I think its very boring, but a primary dealbreaker is the TINY letters
of the interface, I can't read any of it, and you can't set a larger
font.
And of course the fact that you have to train skills real time, so
essentially you have to spend a year training skills before you get
anywhere.

About 100%% of all 2H warriors are Arms spec, just as approximately 100%%
of duel-wield warriors are Fury spec. I've heard rumors of folks making
a 2H Fury spec work but haven't seen it.
Your experiment, unfortunately, was pretty useless. Try it again after
a re-spec. You can do the classic 31/20/0 Arms/Fury build which gets
you the essential Mortal Strike, or you could dump nearly everything
into Arms but you'll at least want 5 talents in Cruelty for the easy 5%%
crit bonus. The first two tiers of Arms talents are kind of a wash,
nothing great, but after that it gets really nice. It's easy to invest
48 talents into the tree and not want to give up any.

If you want to blog, go to http://wordpress.com/. You can either host your
blog there, or download the code and install it on your own web host. It's
like MySpace for people who actually read.

The first 50 points used to be hard, but since they added the bread recipe,
it's almost trivial. Now you just need a little fishing to make the final
push to 50 once bread goes grey.
I haven't had problems leveling cooking on alts. I just pass down grey meat
collected on higher toons for alts to cook. The only thing that slows me
down is the level 35 requirement for getting past 225.
For the cooking quest, I tend to buy mats and then, later as I start seeing
them as junk drops, re-sell them for others doing the quest. (I look for
discounts ahead of time when I know the quest is coming up. I'm an
extremely frugal AH player.)

I spent a lot of time waiting for boats. Not so much Horde side, but
certainly on Alliance. Fishing is great when waiting for a boat.
And I hate seeing floating debris and not being able to fish it. The trunks
from debris drop a lot of coin, fabric, leather, and sometimes an item or
pattern. I've gotten a couple of blues from such trunks.
As Horde, fish at Ratchet. There's a lot of blackmouth schools, and
blackmouth are lucrative at low level. (They're needed for breathing
potions and the fishing enchant.) Fish in the oasis pools around XR for
deviates, and sell them at the neutral AH to Alliance. Another lucrative
cash fish.

May I suggest making it a wiki? Grab the latest version of
http://mediawiki.org/ which is what's used for Wikipedia and install it on
your host. It stores the data in MySQL, so you just need to allocate a
database and then put the DB name and login info in the fields in the MW
setup page and you're done. About the same difficulty to install as most
PHP apps.
My team has a wiki here:
http://wiki.matureasskickers.net/wiki/Main_Page
You'll see we have a WoW section over in the left-side menu.

Heya fellows! Yeah I know Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne's pretty old and
WoW's all the rage nowadays, but I am bored and yet do not intend to
pay that monthly fee to use WoW server.
Anyhow, cut to the chase... You know with Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne
single player mode, there's a selection of mini-games you can play.
Recently, I noticed this Bomber game added. So I just tried it out.
Looks promising. Good way to spend your lunch breaks or for when you
just want hours of senseless fun without bothering with exp levels,
gold or raids.
Looks promising except for one teeny tiny detail. There isn't any A.I
enemy. You know with the Tower Defense games you get computer
generated hordes? Well, for this Bomber mini-game, I selected Computer
(Normal) for the Orcs side but NOTHING came up whenever I start the
game. I load the game and immediately they announce I am Victorious.
Is that a bug? Anyone else having this problem? Or is there something
I am doing wrong?

When adding red gems to sockets, which is better for a protection tank?
Agility for armor (& crits) or Strength for increased damage (with the
increased threat in Defensive)?
