What's a blogger gotta do to get linked on WoW.com? It's no mystery. Allison Robert tells you exactly how to make it a fait accompli. Allison gives you the inside line on how to get your blog crashed by WoW.com: tip us off to specific posts, create useful content – oh, and develop some thick skin, because you're about to develop a fascinating collection of troll quotes. Among the descriptions bestowed upon Allison by her loyal (or maybe not-so-loyal) readers: "beyond terrible," "keyboard-thumping howler monkey," and the over-the-top favorite she wishes someone would be creative enough to deploy, "can't be trusted with animals, plants or reasonably intelligent paramecia."
More Mage-only quests come along as you go, but most require trips into instances that may or may not be worth the effort to get groups for. I did them back in the day, when you could actually find other people who wanted to visit Uldaman, and they were a pain even then. If you're willing to invest the time and possible frustration, I'd encourage doing them, but if not, I suspect you'll still find your way to 80 anyway.
The Chilli God: Hey, Allison? You can't be trusted with animals, plants or reasonably intelligent paramecia. ... There, now you don't have to pretend that it's a real troll quote anymore! Enjoy! :D
