Ricardo Lopez speaking. This blog is a one-man desk wedged between raid nights, and I like hearing from people who read it. Corrections, tips and questions are all fine here.
Ways to get in touch
Use the form below for quick things; it drops into my mailbox with the topic already labeled. For long dungeon logs or lots of attachments, write directly to info@thebaconing.com instead.
When to expect a reply
I go through the inbox once a week, Sunday evening, with tea and my notes beside me. Anything about broken routes or wrong vendor prices jumps the line since it hurts readers right away. Press mails and collab offers sit in another stack, and I answer within seven days when the dates work with my raid calendar. Launch weeks around November 4 and the raid unlock near December 9 are not the time to expect speed. When the backlog passes two weeks, a note goes up on the blog. Hotfix changes to spawns, like those in Hyjal edges, get the patch number copied into my answer.
Useful things to put in your note
- Forever tips: character level, zone, and spot, with level range (Zephras Isle, Riverglades);
- Destiny dungeon fixes: subclass and Power Level;
- raid reports: boss name and lockout state;
- broken run: screenshot of the loot rules or error text;
- the post URL and the day you tried the route;
- a short clip if a boss facing bug in Barrow Deeps cannot be explained in words.
For a booking question about the WoW Forever boost note on my home page, give only the order region and time slot. I will never ask for passwords, authenticator codes or your full Battle.net mail, and I remove BattleTags before quoting anything.
Ground rules
Running this place leaves little time, so I write by day and play by night. During beta patch days and trips I go quiet and say so on the newsletter page. Be polite, even after a rough run. Insults are dropped, facts are kept. Rival route data with a clear shot or clip is welcome, and you get a footer credit under a nickname. Duplicate threads are closed with a pointer to the first answer. Account selling and cheat talk end the thread, spam is deleted, and gold-site pushers are blocked after two tries. Your address stays private, your first name appears only if you agree, and every change to a guide lands in the correction log with a date.
