I am currently, embroiled in a post, that will probably become a series of posts directed at leveling and new mages in general. Those of you who’ve been around long enough may remember these as the “Magecraft” guides. They’re being heavily revamped, updated, and renovated.
I almost feel guilty about releasing all these posts about talents and new specs right as patch 3.0.$ hit. I’ve been averaging about a thousand unique hits AN HOUR for the past week; with nearly all of those going straight to Build-a-Mage and the detailed talent guides.
Lookie here. I even made it onto the WordPress “Top 100 posts” of the day, for October 19th.
I’m number 54, somehow shoved between a guy raving about Naruto and some other french dude yelling about some sort of financial crisis.
Out of the 100 top wordpress posts in the entire world, 4 of them are WoW blogs specifically related to patch 3.0.$, so I guess it’s not really that big of a deal.
But still.
A thousand hits per hour.
What the hell do I look like, an oracle? I’m just some guy from Canadia. There’s no way there’s this many people reading this.
Therefore, the only other option is a few hundred guys constantly refreshing my site or using an F5 bot or something.
Either way, really damn creepy.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO CRITICAL QQ
This blog is now OFFICIALLY over a year old. Somehow. And people, inexplicably, still read it.
The first post went live on October 14th, 2007… and one year later, Blizzard released a patch called “Echoes of Doom”, and ever since, every server has been bent over backwards and kicked in the test tickles by a rhinoceros.
Also, Warlocks were nerfed.
Oh, Blizzard, you shouldn’t have! You’re making me blush!
Best. Birthday Present. EVER.
Warlocks are fine, we just need to l2p.
Gz on teh traffic & birthday
Congratulations! You definitly deserve the traffic. Your blog combines knowledge with style, humour and general awesomeness. I’m glad you’ve been around so long and that you now get some fuel to keep on blogging. The mage community couldn’t live without you.
Gratz to you….and at the same time, gratz to us!
From a loyal reader.
Mage, of course…:)
Happy Blog Birthday!

I have a confession to make. I sit here at work all day constantly refreshing this site for 8 hours. You have me to thank for your high rating. Finally, my hard work has paid off!

I’m Canadian, so that post count isn’t as unexplainable as you lead yourself to believe. Matticus too. In fact, for all you know, we’re both going to a thousand different computer stores and checking your site out. BUAH HAHAHA
Either way, congrats!
“Also, Warlocks were nerfed.”
I have just two works for you, sir:

Congratumalations Mr Euripedes! I eagerly await your updated Magecraft as I have found it very useful when playing my magekins. She’s currently lurking in Feralas at level 55 while I spend time boggling with all the huntery changes for my main. I’m looking forward to getting back to her and will definitely need all the advice I can get to keep her frostbolting her way to Outlands.
