Call the Koala Brothers
We’re here to help! That’s the motto of the day here at TKA Something – we’ve added a new guide courtesy of Hi, an orc hunter from Mal’Ganis. It’s called Freeze Trap 101, a neat little walk through (with pictures!) on how to use the Freeze Trap as a method of crowd control. Plus, Hi answers YOUR questions about her technique. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about being a hunter, well – it’s still worth a read. Only the best for the TKA community!
However, I now notice a somewhat alarming trend. For a game genre where men supposedly outnumber the women something like 50 to 1, both guides submitted thus far are from females. Guys, are we going to take this? I’m surprised that the men aren’t kicking and screaming just a little bit. Hi’s new FAQ also puts the tally at 0/2, in favor of the Horde. The gauntlet is down, ye dwarfs and night elves! Are you actually going to let the Horde show you up and act like THEY know more about being a Hunter?!
Finally, a happy Australia Day to all our friends down under! For those of you who don’t know, Australia Day, January 26, is one of the biggest days of celebration in their country, very much like the United States’ Independence Day. Cheers, mates!

Just the FAQs
While I’ve been busy taming my little heart out, trying to whip Habitat into shape, another up and coming hunter has been no less busy, working on a project of her own. I am proud to announce (war drums please)... The opening of the Guides portion of the site with a submission from Zalla, a hunter on the Bloodhoof server. She did an extrordinary job compiling all this information and was more than happy to give the FAQ a permanent home on TKA Something. Want an OOX of your very own? Yearning for a yeti? Zalla’s guide has all that, and more. Have something you’d like to submit? I can be reached about 500 different ways (via the message board or in game for example) but fritti@tkasomething.com works best.
Our poll – where are your favorite hunting grounds – yielded unsurprising results. Kalimdor blew the competition away, with 54% of the vote, 36% of the vote for Azeroth, and few sneaky friends voting for wherever I happen to be! Okay, wishful thinking, 9% prefer instances rather more than either. What’s hot on the forums right now? Take a minute to register, and go see for yourself!

Friends call me Snow Miser... whatever I touch...
'HO HA HO!... a little chilly humor, there.’ It’s hard to get worked up about the holiday season while playing World of Warcraft (unless I head to Ironforge) but that doesn’t mean there aren’t presents for everyone! That’s right, another section is… well, slowly coming together here at TKA Something. The Beasts > Habitat section is now available. However, not all zones are ready (yet) so make sure to check the site’s Beta Board, V1.0 as more zones are brought online.
Our latest poll, 'PVE versus PVP’ had the following results:
- PVP: 60%
- PVE: 40%
What’s in store this week? Inquiring minds will just have to check the message board.
I’ll close by wishing everyone a cliche safe and happy holiday season. Tear yourself away from the computer for a few minutes and spend some time with your family!

Species, Genus... I admit, I'm no Steve Irwin!
The Beasts > Species section is now up and running for your viewing pleasure. So, if you’re looking for the perfect pet, you can preview what the available types look like before going to seek them. In the future, as more information rolls in, I’ll be including level ranges so trips to tame the tiger aren’t wasted because you’re not the right level.
The results of the Weekly Poll are in. This week’s question was 'What race is your Hunter?’ with the spread being as follows:
- Night Elf: 30%
- Orc: 23%
- Dwarf: 23%
- Troll: 15%
- Tauren: 7%
The new Weekly Poll, 'PVE versus PVP’ is up now on our forums.
And, speaking of the forums, TKA’s 'Most Wanted’ has also been updated. Thanks for your submissions, keep them coming!

Welcome! Bienvenue, willkommen and benvenuto!
I’d love to say that I’ve been playing non-stop since picking up my copy of World of Warcraft at the local Babbages. BUT, that didn’t happen. I went to bed exhausted after spending a marathon twenty four hours trying to get the website up. So, Tuesday rates as a partial success. I reached level 10, and also got both the front page and forums running.
Yes, I know, it’s a fascinating glimpse into my life. I suppose that this point I should introduce myself. I’m Fritti and this is TKA Something, a site that is dedicated to the Hunter class of the MMORPG World of Warcraft from Blizzard Online Entertainment. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be working on finishing the content that is so enticingly promised by the menu to the left. Until then, I invite you to visit the forums (which do work) and, if you have anything that you’d like to submit, please review the guidelines under 'Beta Board V1.0’ and then send them to fritti@tkasomething.com!
