Reinventing Oneself

Ok....I let my three loyal readers down and didn't keep the blog up for the past well, almost a year. Time to fix that. I'm getting back into writing and keeping the blog up to date is, if nothing else, a way to guilt myself into keeping at it.

I suppose it's best to get reacquainted with things.

Hi, I'm Strev on Whisperwind. I'm horrible at pvp (often hilariously so), passable in the "blowing things to Kingdom Come" department, and very, very good at making gold.

I never had the intention of starting this out as a blog dedicated to helping people steal my customers earn virtual moolah, but in the past months I've acquired (and mostly blown) somewhere in the vicinity of 1M gold. Guildmates and friends have asked me for advice and while there are plenty of wonderful (and better) free sites to get information to help you along (and I direct people to those as well), I'd like to take a more personal hand in guiding people from poverty to providence.

Nothing depresses me more then when I hear a guildie say they barely have the money to afford repairs. There are vast amounts of wealth out there for the taking! But while they may have spent hours watching videos of how to down raid bosses, they've never invested the time to learn how to make gold.

Over the course of the next few weeks, I'll cover both the basics and more advanced techniques. I'll give you tips, tricks, things that worked for me, things that blew up horribly in my face (and why!), everything I've learned and even things I know I do wrong (but why they are wrong and why I continue to do them).

For those of you who care about the continuing (mis-)adventures of Strev and the Alt Brigade, don't despair... I'll throw in updates here and there. It just won't be the main focus of the blog for now.
