Most obvious are the drop down menus (thanks mj for the suggestion) and the ability to comment on (almost) anything.</p> <p>Just like the <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/" title="Fish Finder - Where to catch fish, showing skill required, type of water, and variations such as time of day.">Fish Finder</a>, if you tag a forum topic with the title of a page, or use that title as the topic title, a summary of the topic will eventually appear at the bottom of that page. Changes will take up to 10 minutes to transfer from the forum to other pages.</p> <p>There are a few exceptions (for example, you cannot comment on the front page). If there is a small box at the bottom of the page inviting comments, then feel free to tag/title.</p> <p>The idea seemed to work reasonably well on the Fish Finder, so I thought I'd expand it to every other page. Precisely what information you get is a <em>bit chaotic</em>, but even the best comment systems (Wowhead is a good example) never quite work perfectly. And tagging forum topics allows the same discussion to appear on several pages, if it covers several topics.</p> <p>Suggestions/improvements are always welcome. Some take forever, but some get implemented quite quickly. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/a-fishy-trolls-journey-roleplaying-blog#post-7693 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:05:54 +0000 Enarka 7693@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Greetings, whoever you are =)</p> <p>I've just started, yesterday, a blog on which I plan to tell my WoW character's story, mainly emphasizing the ''fishing'' part of her life. How she first learned about it, how she loved it and ended up dedicating her life to it...</p> <p>If you are interested in reading a bit of her story, I'd gladly invite you to take the first reads on <a href="http://fishytroll.blogspot.com/">A Fishy Troll's Journey</a> !</p> <p>El, if you feel the posting of this personal storytelling here is not appropriate, let me know, and it will go! I am currently unable to log on to WoW forums, and despite the amount of people that come by and read Elsanglin compared to the WoW forums' population, I'd simply wanted to get my character's story out!</p> <p>So...read on, if you will, and please, leave me any useful feedback; English is not my main language, and it may be very, very apparent. Any corrections to be made, grammatical or else, I'd appreciate if they were pointed out!</p> <p> /wave heartily</p> <p>Have a nice day, fellow anglers! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-why-do-you-do-it#post-7677 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:47:34 +0000 Enarka 7677@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Tell me, fishermen, and women alike, why do YOU fish ?</p> <p>To be honest, I spend most of my time on WoW fishing, since it actually is all I enjoy anymore. I have done a lot of PvP on previous accounts, and received titles from doing so in the process, but I am now completely dedicated to fishing ever since I discovered the landscapes you can come across while roaming the seas.</p> <p>The vast Bay of Storms; the long, sinuous river of Hillsbrad Foothills, that leads into the Western Plaguelands; the green, lush ground of the Barrens' oases; the dry, deserted shores of Desolace; the rocky soil of Stonetalon Peaks and Durotar; the icy, virgin waters of Winterspring!</p> <p>And the Outlands... the polluted ecosystem of Zangarmarsh; the living waters of Nagrand; the spooky rivers of Terokkar, and its pools of water high on mountains; really, have you seen any more diversified of a world ?</p> <p>Northrend, the newly discovered continent, cold and dry from an end to the other, deeply corrupted by the grasp of ancient evils, yet host to lively waters, and a people the likes of which have never been seen : the Kalu'ak. Fishermen to the core, willing to share their knowledge about their chilled, unwelcoming world...</p> <p>I've fallen in love with fishing a while ago, and ever since, it's been my main occupation. Of course, being on a Roleplaying server makes it all the more rewarding! People view Enarka, the Fishy Lady (Salty Rogue, hey!), as a dedicated fisherwoman, who can provide them all with the fish they want, at all times!</p> <p>In fact, I do keep a ton of fish of every kind, stored in my own complete guild bank, to supply everyone with the fish they may come to need! From the Raw Brilliant Smallfish to the Deep Sea Monsterbelly, everything's in the bank, in multiple stacks. Cooked meals, raw fish, name it : it's there. I sell it, I gift it, I trade it, and often just look at it, wondering how much time will come to pass before I get my hands on that mythic 103 Pound Mightfish!</p> <p>So, tell me, anglers of Azeroth, do you fish for your own leisure ? Do you sell the fish ? Are you aiming at any particular fish to catch ? Any amount of a particular item to get ? What is YOUR incentive to fish, beyond the coveted ''Salty'' title ?</p> <p>I, for one, seek to understand the underwater ecosystem of Azeroth, for it has surprised me many, many times. Murlocs, Hydras, Kraken...what else lurks below the surface..? I pray that, one day, I will learn... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/thanks-all#post-7594 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:39:57 +0000 Ballista_Misha 7594@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I stumbled on this site recently and found it helpful enough to take the time to register which I rarely do :).</p> <p>I was looking for more info on the achievement "One that didn't get away" and was very pleased when I came here.

("EVRYONE LISTEN! - ! - ! - !" is <em>never</em> a good forum topic title...)</p> <p>Game-specific channels are fine, but limited to faction and realm. There are about 350 English language realms, each with 2 factions. So that's about 700 separate little communities. And I know some people here play on non-English language realms. So it could be more.</p> <p>Some websites have IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channels, which don't seem terribly popular relative to the site. There are some Twitter-like applications that allow players to communicate with the outside world (like other realms), but they don't seem terribly popular either. Blizzard's upcoming new Battle.net will allow more inter-realm communication, but I don't expect it to support "interest groups", like fishing - I still don't think <em>they</em> understand how fragmented communities can become around "niches" like this.</p> <p>But it's clearly something people want to do.</p> <p>Do you have any ideas? Thoughts?</p> <p>There are more general things I'd like to do to bolster the community - things like being able to find other anglers on your realm, or tracking catches/achievements. We've even talked about in-game addons in the past. But I'd not considered chat. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy#post-1477 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 06:23:07 +0000 Spellbinder 1477@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hi all.

To start, I was able to play for an hour at work while staffing the help desk and waiting for people to need help. I decided to continue my egg hunt, since I was at 700+ eggs opened and still no stinkin' tuxedo pants, and I really wanted that last achievement. About 40 eggs later, bam! Tuxedo pants! Woot!! My very first set of fully completed holiday achievements! Hardly epic, but personally quite pleasing nonetheless. </p> <p>When I got home I nabbed the Dalaran fishing and cooking dailies, headed out on my round of Kalu'ak dailies, and hit Exalted! Not lucky, exactly, since I knew it was coming, but very happy anyway. I scooped up my Pengu and mastercraft fishing pole and merrily headed off to Dalaran to turn in my dailies. I turn them in and what should emerge from my bag of fishing treasures but my very own Strand Crawler! Rock on!! Two great new pets in one day!</p> <p>In the mood now to relax and savor my good fortune, I went to Shattrath en route to Blade's Edge to pick up my last Outland exploration achievement, and grabbed the cooking and fishing dailies on my way through, figuring what the heck. I don't do them much anymore since the rewards I still want also come from Dalaran now, but since I was in the area.... I pick up my quest items, swing through Blade's Edge, return to Shatt to turn in the dailies and peer into my barrel of fish to find...Recipe: Delicious Chocolate Cake! No freakin way! And the day before a holiday event in which these will be in high demand! Whooooooo!!</p> <p>At this point if I hadn't been so extremely comfy in my pjs at home, and a too euphoric to drive, I would have gone out for a lottery ticket.</p> <p>Instead, I went off to farm small eggs for chocolate cakes in the hopes of filling up my Buy-Narinae-Epic-Flying Fund in the week ahead. No mageroyal for sale in the AH but hubby is an herbalist, so could gather the mageroyal I'd need when he got out of his instance. So, when I had all the eggs I wanted (160), I found myself with rather full bags and a little time to kill. What to do, what to do...hmmm...I wonder....why not try? Ok, off to Ironforge I go, pulling out my fishing pole with a giddy glint in my eye. Ooh, lots of people in the Forlorn Caverns tonight. All but one leaves pretty quickly, leaving just myself and one other person. Fish fish fish, la la la, hmm hmm hmm, DING! Huh wha-??? No way! No freaking way! Yes! Yes, I did just catch Old Ironjaw! In 40 casts! Out of about 150 total casts in Ironforge in all time! Someone get the marshmallows cause I am on FIRE!</p> <p>*deep breaths*</p> <p>I did go try my luck in Northrend a little while in case a sea turtle might be drawn to my sudden and inexplicable magnetism, but I wasn't quite *that* lucky. Hubby did rustle up enough mageroyal for a few cakes, though, which I put up at obscene prices (though lower than one other guy), so we'll see if last night's luck manages to carry over that far! If not, at least I can eat cake and enjoy the comforting company of Pengu and my crawler! Wearing tuxedo pants! While fishing with my new pole! With old Ironjaw in my pocket! Yippee! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-cooking-dailies-only-require-level-71#post-2792 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:30:45 +0000 Sonalita 2792@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>On the Dalaran daily cooking quests page, it states:"Only 1 quest can be completed per day, by those level 74 or above.
