15 Minutes of Fame is our look at World of Warcraft players of all shapes and sizes – both the renowned and the relatively anonymous. Tip us off to players you'd like to hear more about at 15minutesoffame (at) wowinsider (dot) com.
World of Warcraft players: hordes of pimply, unsupervised pre-adolescents sprinkled liberally with socially backward, Cheetos-chomping basement-dwellers? Forty-eight-year-old Catten of Quel'dorei knows better. Frequently confined to her bed with fibromyalgia, a debilitating condition that causes pain and fatigue, Catten's world opens up when she logs in. This relative newcomer to gaming escapes her physical challenges in The Outland, sharing raiding wow gold, world-wide friendships and a warm relationship with her grown son (and guildmate) Bigkountry.

Tuesday April 29th maintenance
...and Bornakk looked upon the World of Warcraft in its seventh day and said: "Let there be maintenance." And so it was.
Bornakk posted on the General Discussion Forums this afternoon that there will be maintenance tomorrow on all realms from 3:00 a.m. PDT until 11:00 a.m. PDT. Additionally, the forums themselves will be undergoing maintenance from 5:00 a.m. PDT until 8:00 a.m. PDT. You will not be able to log in to the forums, but you will be able to read them.
Patch 2.4.2 was announced last week and is on the PTR right now. However, it is unlikely that the patch will come tomorrow wow gold. The PTR phase of minor patches almost always lasts two weeks. Of course with that said, I'm sure I'll be eating my words tomorrow as 2.4.2 goes live. We'll all just have to stay tuned and find out!

Addon Spotlight: Buffet
Welcome to the Sunday edition of Addon Spotlight. Today I am going to spotlight one of my new favorite addons. Many of you may shake your head in silent ridicule of my constant love for Tekkub's addons wow gold, but you need to check out Buffet!
Buffet, in Tekkub's words, is a simple water and food managing addon. It combines two of my favorite addon characteristics; saving actionbar space and making use of the macro system.
So, basically, what you get with this addon are two automatically generated macros that will manage your food and drink items cheap wow gold. The addon will create the two macros, which are placed in your General Macros tab, you just place them on your actionbar. Suddenly you will have two great little automated buttons. In combat, they switch to consumables you can use in combat, like Super Healing Potions, Super Mana Potions and Master Healthstones. Out of combat, the macros (to include the icon and tooltip) switches to the best food / drink combination available.
Check in after this for the best description available; Tekkub's.

Why PvE has been, and always will be, the only real game
World of Warcraft has two distinctly different types of play: Player versus Environment and Player versus Player. The styles of play are dramatically different and there are few, if any, skills that cross over from one style to the other. WoW started out as a PvE game, adding in PvP content as the player base expanded. And despite the numerous PvP fanbois out there, the real game in WoW will always remain the PvE game.
There are a few reasons why I think this. First and foremost, you cannot progress in PvP without first completing a large potion of the PvE content cheap wow gold. You start out at level 1 and progress up to level 70. You don't level up by PvPing against one another. You level up by fighting against the environment. Put simply, without the PvE there would be no PvP.
Secondly, PvP is an addition to the game. If you remove PvP from the game entirely, the game itself would not fundamentally change. However if you remove the PvE elements, the game would be nothing like it is. Everything would just exist like the Arena Tournament server. That might be fine for some people, and this is evident in the success of the Arena Tournament server wow. Even I enjoy spending a couple hours a week on there, but by no means would I want to just exist on a server where the only thing to do is kill one another.

WoW Moviewatch: WoW Tube
In the middle of a raid, or simply just too busy to actually walk to the bathroom? Now you don't have to! Wham-o's WoW Tube allows you to "comfortably" use the restroom from your chair, so you'll never miss an important moment in-game again!
If this video was indeed made in the last 6 months, this guy doesn't play WoW at all. He mentions leveling to 60. I do like how he mentions that if you're still interested in his "product" cheap wow gold, that it's only $20 USD for 30 feet of PVC! I sincerely hope that none of you have actually tried this at home.
[Thanks, dantekgeek!]
