This year’s Tournament of Ages is just days away! Check out this snazzy new video outlining all the things this year, as well as their dates and times and other things you don’t want to miss, in this compiled Welcome Video.

We’re a bit less than two days away from this massive event, here are some more things you can do to prepare after the video:

Moon Guardians, register, if you already haven’t, by clicking here!

Bookmark the schedule so you don’t miss out on your events

Follow us on Twitter here to stay up-to-date with announcements. Our hashtag is #TournamentOfAges

Tune into our Hearthstone broadcast here for the Make-A-Wish Foundation Charity and giveaways in-between matches.

Mark your calendars for the Succulent Tart performances, their schedule can be found here.

Some Booths will be “selling” GHI items, you can find the Gryphonheart Items addon here. Always be careful when accepting GHI items from other players, they could be “troll” items that spam chat with offensive things. 

If you are jousting, make sure you can use another mount that is not an Elekk or a Kodo. These have been banned after discovering that their model’s hitbox allows them an advantage over the rest of the mounts.

Finalise your Hearthstone deck, because once you play in the Bracket, you cannot change anything! The format is Standard.

Be sure that you have full PVP gear for the PVP Dueling bracket. No PVE gear is allowed.

Square away your Pet Battles team, if you have one. Once you play in the Bracket, you cannot change your pets!

Get a fancy outfit for the Wonderlight Ball

Go to Tanaan and loot a Dazzling Rod, which is here. You’ll need it for the impromptu Wizard Battles that occasionally break out at the Faire Grounds.

Sin’dorei-Kin Treasures

This little tidbit of an IC store is for your enjoyment and pleasure. And for all of you fashion oriented folks out there who love to delve into pint-sized fashion, feel free to tag Sin’dorei-Kin in posts and we’ll add new additions to our queue to the best of our ability.

The vision for this small slice of role-play flavor is that it’ll be a fun reference that all of YOU make possible. The NPC workers are in place so that you can have someone to refer to in character or role-play stories. While not opposed to taking on a few PC employees, we’d like to see how you guys enjoy the NPC profile and storytelling hints as part of your own creative writing.

With that said, please feel free to @sindoreikin and tag us in fashionable photos to add to our queue or send in submissions!! We would love to hear from you.

Beautiful nurseries are also something we’re considering adding.

Our four categories currently are babygirl, babyboy, lil ladies, lil gents. 

Our vision is your vision. 

Please Boost and Share the love.

Apologies to all!! We’re very sorry that we didn’t specify that it had a little bit of lingerie in it. Generally speaking, it does not have lingerie but it was the ‘lovers’ edition and so we felt that tasteful artistic poses were in order. Thanks for the encouragement though. I’ll change the tag to read nsfw so as not to offend anyone.

In-Game Tool Suggestion (WoW)

So, tonight after getting an issue resolved, I talked with the Blizz GM about the rp community and what a shame it was for us not to have certain places available.

Specifically, I said that it’d be really awesome if we could have places like Karazhan open to the public and the GM suggested that I put in a suggestion. 

Now, I did mention that  I didn’t know if Blizz really cared about role-players enough to bump this type of request up their list or not. The GM told me, to put the word out and have EVERYONE put the suggestion in.

Something like this:

We’d like to have instances/raids like Kara open to the public for role-play without the raid limitations and lockouts, utilizing the ingame tool for raids would be ideal for making this a reality. We strongly feel that guilds/groups would use this space as a role-play hub given the opportunity and that think that groups such as the Tirisfal theater group on WRA and Succulent Tarts (wra) would host shows there on the regular if they could access a real stage.

The Gm said it wasn’t a guarantee but that if the role-play community requested it in a mass push, it’d probably come to the attention of the devs fairly quickly and that maybe we’d see some action on it.

Now, I’m gonna ask people not only to boost this thread, but to actually do this in game in the suggestion area. An effort like this to get noticed? This will take all of us taking action.

 I don’t really want this to devolve into an argument/etc. so let us keep this positive. Agree, disagree, like, dislike… it’s fine to have opinions, perfectly fine.   I’d just like blizz to give us an opportunity to use some of the fantastic things they have in game in better ways. For them to show that they support OUR ROLEPLAY community.

This type of thing? It’ll take all of us to accomplish, but the GM seemed to think it was doable. 

To do this click the red question mark for the game menu/help/ submit suggestion.

I’d like Blizzard to open places like Kara using the raid tool (Or another method) to open up the instance to groups of 40 (at least). This could be extended to older content. Just open the lock to larger number groups. We don’t mind clearing the mobs out for the week like we do now for groups of ten. (Make a RP setting for 40) We’d use it all the time. - The RP community

This is exactly what I submitted. Post up what you submit if you want or copy someone else’s and take 2 seconds to see if we can slam them with requests on it. Who knows? If we all pitch in, maybe it’ll work. And if it has been done before, lets do it again and again until they listen. We deserve that.

Please boost. If we get this going and can hold mass events here? Sophisticated can highlight the mansions and perhaps even supplement the article in the magazine with in game clips on the posts too! How exciting would that be?

"You make a Firebloom in my heart!" Orland said cheerfully, holding a sample of said flower out towards the stranger!

Silver painted nails trail across the glossy covers of the magazines as Tilarrie browsed the selection. She slowly slides the December issue of sindoreisophisticated from the rack, careful not to damage the periodical. She flips the magazine open and stares at the stunning images. Long chestnut tresses form a curtain around her face as she looks down at the holiday images that spread across the pages. “Hmmm.” she says as she eyes the advertisements and articles. “Maybe I should speak to father about advertising in this.” she muses as she continues to flip through the pages.

As the man’s kind words brush across her a smile pulls at her lips as her head turns to look at the offering. The magazine is carefully balanced in one hand as she reaches over to take the beautiful offering. “Thank you, that is too kind of you.” she says with a polite incline of her head. She lifts her eyes to meet his as she lifts the flower to her nose, sniffing it for a moment before saying, “I am not sure what I have done to warrant such a compliment or gift, but it is appreciated.”

She lowers the flower from her face, the warmth of the bloom bringing a warm crimson hue to her face. “I don’t believe I have met you before. My name is Tilarria.” she says with a brief curtsy. “It is a pleasure to meet such a charming individual.”

(( @Orland-silverwing, @sindoreisophistication for the mention and the image of the magazine. Hope that is ok. ))

[cake-and-roses]

Orland smiled as she took the flower and thanked him! Yay for cheering another person up! “Well,  uh, Winter Veil isn’t over yet!” At least, he didn’t think it was. When did Winter Veil end? For him, never. He always wore that damn hat, even if it was summer!

“So. Happy Winter Veil!” Any excuse to give out flowers was a good excuse. “Er, yea! I don’t think we’ve met, either! It’s, um, nice to meet you, Tilarria! I’m Orland!” He introduced himself, seeming quite excited. Charming? That was good! People didn’t usually think of ‘charming’ when they thought of him, probably!

Sophisticated issue 4 Sophisticated Winter 2015 Issue 4

The Sophisticated Winter 2015 Issue has hit the stands just in time for the holidays. As ever, we would like to personally thank all of the people who have been a driving force and inspiration that has kept this humble dream alive. 

Without you, there would be no point to such an endeavor, it would be fruitless and without meaning. Together, in this time of reflection, building traditions or upholding old ones, and in the spirit of generosity and giving, we dedicate this issue to all of the unsung heroes who bless our lives every single day.

May your journey find peace wherever it may lead and may you look back upon times shared with fondness, rejoicing in the good times and holding them as precious memories for years to come.
