I want to get back into filling this blog with ideas and events, but what?\u00a0 We&#8217;re late into an expansion with the new one not even yet seen on the horizon. There&#8217;s just nothing new to report on. I even tried to venture to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogazeroth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blog Azeroth<\/a> in hopes of partaking in their &#8220;Shared Topic&#8221; posts and found none currently up. I&#8217;m not sure if I caught it in an off time, the holidays and what not, or if their not doing that anymore. If anyone knows and reads this post, please let me know &#8211; it was a very cool site and idea center.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I&#8217;ve been doing some live streaming and video making and that&#8217;s been pretty fun, <!--more-->but I wouldn&#8217;t say I know enough about that yet to make posts. My guilds raiding progress has also been pretty hammered by the holidays and as such, we&#8217;ve been stuck with a single Garrosh kill and no heroic attempts until today (it was brutal). I have, however, just started rated battlegrounds on my hunter and officially moved it into a PVP guild. It&#8217;s been a blast. He&#8217;s 1570 rated and has reached the &#8220;First Sergeant&#8221; title. I&#8217;m really hoping to get him legionnaire, but that&#8217;s a bit further along.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk on a bigger scope about blogging or starting in videos\/streaming for a game that is 8+ years old. What kind of content would it make sense to make? Now, my blog isn&#8217;t exactly new, but given my sporadic posting history, it&#8217;s not exactly and established name. So, while I&#8217;m not exactly starting out in blogging (which I am in the video realm), it&#8217;s functionally similar. Which brings me to the point: What content does the community still need? We have raid guides, stat guides, gearing guides. We have news sources like <a href=\"http:\/\/wowhead.com\" target=\"_blank\">Wowhead<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/wow.joystiq.com\" target=\"_blank\">Wow Insider<\/a> and all of the guides and content they produce. We have long time PVP legends such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/johnsju\" target=\"_blank\">Swifty<\/a> that have professional quality productions and corporate sponsors along with years of history. I&#8217;m not asking this rhetorically. Really. What does the Warcraft community still need?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People who know me well might be surprised by this, but sometimes I just run out of things to say.
