Project Lore

2008 has been the best year ever for Project Lore, mostly because it was the year that Project Lore made its debut to the world. All of us here would like to take a moment today to wish everyone happy and safe holidays. Without you the fans, Project Lore would not be able to exist, and we hope that you continue to join us in the coming year. So keep on sending emails and leaving comments, because we love reading them (most of the time ;). We have a lot of exciting endeavors that we are working hard on for 2009, so keep watching into the new year. We also wanted to let you know what was coming up on the site over the busy next couple of weeks. Our normally scheduled programming will continue through Saturday, and after that we'll be showing you guys the Best of Project Lore. We hand picked our favorite episodes of Project Lore - the ones we had the most fun taping, the ones we with the best fan reactions, the ones we hope you show to your friends to get them hooked on Project Lore too. So tune in, and thank you for being a part of Project Lore. Happy Holidays! -The Project Lore Crew

My second favorite holiday inside Azeroth is finally upon us. While I am not certain where the IRL version of Feast of Winter Veil ranks (“Awesome, more socks!” and the inevitable, “No Grandma, I'm still not married.”), I certainly love Blizzard's version of the holiday season. It's partially because of the fact that Winter Veil isn't tied to a religion, thus leaving no one out. In the end it comes down to presents and food.  I tend to appreciate both.

First and foremost, it seems that last year's gift, the Clockwork Rocket Bot, is just that, only for last year. This Achievement pretty much confirms that, and if that is not enough evidence for you, then how about this one? I hope you are prepared to deal with tons of cars under your feet because another new Achievement is based around Crashin' Thrasin' duels. That, is in turn part of the Winter Veil's arching Achievement for the the Violet Proto-Drake.

Ugg, my hands hurt from all that linking. Hit up MMO-Champion.com for an all-new mini-guide on Winter Veil's Achievements presented by Boubouille. If he doesn't dish the details himself, then rest assured that he links elsewhere.

I will attempt to snag the race car for sure, and continue on my trend of preparing scrumptious meals for my friends. Beyond that, I doubt I will purposely go after anything. That doesn't mean I won't participate though. Players on the Magtheridon server are sure to see insanely high-priced cooking reagents from my Auction House alt, as I attempt to abuse the supply and demand curve. I wouldn't mind unloading this Preserved Holly for a tidy sum either.

I do have a bone to pick with Blizzard though. I am no Achievement nut, but I do have a tendency to try and pick up as many vanity pets as possible. Yet you guys have designed numerous ways to make my collection efforts fruitless, such as forcing me to chose between Egbert and Sleepy Willy. While Egbert obviously won, I was upset that I lost the chance for a personal C'Thun-inspired Broggok mob. It is that reason that I wish for the Achievement nuts to have to make a hard decision as well. How about a Naughty & Nice achievement, 30 Points to those player who get less than 25 HKs over the course of Winter Veil, 25 Points for those with more than 200 HKs. Mmmm, moral choices.
