Reader Jesta sent us a note about his new website. He's a big fan of Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com/), which is a big Q&A/advice site for programmers -- you show up, ask your question, and then other folks who might or might not be working on the same problem post their answers, in moderated and organized threads for everyone to read. Jesta decided this same type of thing could work for our little game, so he put together EpicAdvice.com (http://epicadvice.com/) -- the idea is that you go there, leave a question about anything (http://epicadvice.com/faq) in the game, and then wait for your answer from other people browsing the site.
Stack Overflow actually has a little "badge" system (http://stackoverflow.com/badges) where answerers can earn reputation points for answering questions correctly, and Jesta says that they're working on doing something similar (http://epicadvice.com/badges) for Epic Advice (though they'll probably have Achievements, as that's more Warcraft-y). But as of this writing, the site definitely needs more questions and answers, so if there's something bugging you about WoW (that our own Queue (http://www.wow.com/2009/09/29/the-queue-wherein-we-learn-new-slang/) hasn't answered yet), or you consider yourself an expert and want to clear some things up, head over and give the site a look.Filed under: Tips (http://www.wow.com/category/tips/), Virtual selves (http://www.wow.com/category/virtual-selves/), Odds and ends (http://www.wow.com/category/odds-and-ends/), Quests (http://www.wow.com/category/quests/), Classes (http://www.wow.com/category/classes/), Forums (http://www.wow.com/category/forums/), Fan art (http://www.wow.com/category/fan-art/)
