Solo Hunters can also get phat lootz
I have to confess something. I’m a sucker for hearing stories about someone playing their Hunter in offbeat ways. What do I mean? Well, take for example that fabled Hunter Tank Gweryc.Last week I got a great tip from Darth Solo over at WoW Alone about another offbeat Hunter idea. Seems Darth is a fan of solo play. At first I thought as you that this probably isn’t completely original. We Hunters tend to just run with our pets anyways. But something kept nagging me to go check out WoW Alone and see just what Darth was doing.
Turns out he’s put a lot of thought into how to get the most out of your World of Warcraft experience without having to worry about the drama associated with PUGs or even some guilds.
Of course I would be the first to admit that this kind of play style isn’t for me. But if you want to find ways of enjoying your Hunter, getting loot all the while avoiding the drama associated with PUGs. Go check out his Hunter Solo Guides for gear, glyphs, and suggested specs for the Solo Hunter.

World of Warcraft trends big on Twitter video games
TweetMyGaming is a site started up by our friends over at gamerDNA (they routinely contribute to our sister site Massively, including sharing some great information on WoW’s demographics), and while the site is designed to track all mentions of video games on Twitter, one game has more or less dominated the discussion since the site debuted about a month ago. Well, actually, it was The Sims 3 — apparently as big as World of Warcraft is, it still can’t stop EA’s Sims series for sheer popularity (or top the series in sales). But still, WoW is sitting at a respectable number two in tweets, and watching the feed go by over on the game’s page lets you in on all the different slices of the game’s community, from the hardcore raiders to the folks just trying to grab some time to play.
Of course, all of the values on the site are constantly changing, and we’re sure they’re still tweaking the formula of how games move up and down the list — The Sims 3 is coming hot off of its release a few weeks ago, and while WoW has a vibrant twitter community for sure, the news about mounts and the new patch 3.2 information last week probably helped keep it up on the radar (just wait and see what happens over BlizzCon — I wouldn’t be surprised to see WoW-related topics trending over Twitter at large).
But WoW is definitely a game that people talk about no matter what’s in the news lately. Interesting, but not surprising, that it’s holding its own even among the trendiest games on Twitter.
