A major part of World of Warcraft is player customization and identity. Players sink a lot of time into these characters and want to be able to create characters that they feel best represent themselves on Azeroth. They want to customize every aspect, and Blizzard has steadily increased the customization options to give players even more ways to create their perfect character. While the Dracthyr offer some of the most in-depth customization options so far, there are a couple of crucial customization options that seem to be missing....

Networx is an umbrella program that allows federal agencies to buy voice, data and video services from five carriers: AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink (formerly Qwest), Sprint and Level 3. Created by the General Services Administration (GSA), Networx has a 10-year ceiling of $68.2 billion in revenue. However, due to delayed purchasing by agency customers, Networx total revenue through September 2012 is at $2.18 billion, GSA concedes. “There’s no question that Networx is not living up to GSA’s expectations,” says Ray Bjorklund, vice president and chief knowledge officer with Deltek, a Herndon, Va....

Elsewhere there have been some high-profile casualties, as some of the Three Lions’ most experienced players have been left at home wondering what might’ve been. Here are 5 players who didn’t make the cut for England’s World Cup campaign. #1 Joe Hart Despite being drummed out of Manchester City by Pep Guardiola and then being dropped for the majority of this season while on loan at West Ham, it was expected that veteran goalkeeper Joe Hart would be named in Southgate’s 23-man squad, most likely as the third choice behind Jordan Pickford and Jack Butland....

Both teams qualified for the World Cup after stellar performances in their respective playoffs. Peru defeated New Zealand over two legs, and Denmark smashed Ireland thanks to a Christian Eriksen hat trick. Sign up for a free seven-day trial to watch the World Cup on fuboTV! The two squads will join France and Australia in Group C of the competition. Considering France’s powerhouse roster, this match will be pivotal in deciding which team likely finishes second and makes it out of the group stage....

Both teams come into this game on the back of defeats in the hands of Australia and India respectively but Bangladesh, by virtue of looking better on both paper and on field, start as favourites. We pick out three key players who can win the game for them. 1) Shakib Al Hasan Bangladesh’s number one player Shakib Al Hasan is, undoubtedly, the first name on this list. Shakib has been in ominous form this World Cup and will be keen on continuing his golden run....

Every team must have already prepared their line-up after working on it for more than 3 years now. All of these strategies will be put to test in this tournament. In every team, there is a player who has a ability to shine over the others and excel in the team, emerging as a game-changer, turning around matches for the team. Here is a look at such player(s) from the South African team:...

Dhawan was hit on his thumb by a Pat Cummins bouncer but went on to score a resilient hundred. However, owing to the injury, the 33-year-old southpaw will miss a massive chunk of the tournament. The opening partnership of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma has always created problems for many teams as it is a left hand-right hand combination that results in the continuous field and strategy changes and it will be compelling to see how India counters this problem now that Dhawan will not be available....

In comparison to other teams featuring in the grand spectacle, they have got one of the most balanced squads with a fair share of quality players in each department. However, that does not guarantee shows of individual brilliance from every player. There are a couple of cricketers in the team who haven’t made the grade and are by far lucky to be in the same dressing room as others. Come the end of World Cup 2019, and it is highly unlikely that these faces will be seen with the team any longer....

The spin twins, fondly referred to as “KulCha”, shared as many as 5 wickets between them while giving away just 97 runs in the 20 overs that they bowled. The South African batsmen were caught napping on the wrong foot as most of them failed to read the spin from the hand. Chahal on his World Cup debut was the destroyer in chief as he finished with 4 wickets for 51 runs at an economy rate of 5....

New Zealand managed to win the first match by one wicket, and the two left arm quicks on either side - Mitchell Starc (6 wickets for 28) and Trent Boult (5 for 27) - were the main guys in action. More than four years since that match, the neighboring countries face off against each other in yet another group stage match at the World Cup. They are both quite far away from home, but the two teams are yet again competing for the top spot at the end of round one....

This round begins with the fixture between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on June 11th. Yet, with only five free transfers to play with, the right choices have to be made in order to get the maximum number of points and with the deadline getting nearer, ensure that players from Australia and Sri Lanka are given preference. On that note, let’s take a look at the best fantasy XI for Round 3....

This is the time when it is win at all costs or pack your bags for the flight home, as there are no more second chances for any of the teams left in the tournament. Some big names have already been sent packing, with four-time winner Germany not making it out of the group stage for the second World Cup running. No. 2–ranked Belgium has also failed to progress, while Qatar has produced the worst-ever showing for a World Cup host....

After a year of problems off the field — and humiliation on it — the new Germany is finally starting to look like the old Germany. Grit, determination and Nico Schulz’s 90th-minute winner earned the Germans a confidence-boosting 3-2 win over the Netherlands on Sunday in a European Championship qualifier. “It’s good for the self-belief of this young team,” said Germany coach Joachim Loew. “I can live with criticism. I know what our potential is....

Approximately 135,000 to 200,000 people in the United States are impacted by narcolepsy. Many people with narcolepsy may be either undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed, so this number may be imprecise. Often, people with narcolepsy may be labeled as having “laziness,” emotional issues, or psychiatric disorders like depression. But narcolepsy occurs due to the loss of a population of hypocretin-secreting cells within the hypothalamus of the brain. Both men and women are equally impacted by narcolepsy....

Redditor BemusTheTyrant’s guild in World of Warcraft has historically held a contest where members would carve Warcraft-themed images into their pumpkins for the season. This year, however, most of their guild is away from the game on indefinite break, so in honor of the contest, they carved a pumpkin with a simple and poignant message regarding the state of the game: RIP Blizzard.

The Ride Along feature lets a World of Warcraft player in the same party hitch a ride with their friends as they soar across the Dragon Isles with the new Dragonriding mechanic in Dragonflight. However, instead of simply hopping on the saddle behind them, they transform into a dragon whelp and fly alongside the Dragonriding drake.

Dragonflight added the ability for World of Warcraft characters of any race to be mages, priests, or rogues. When Dragonflight Patch 10.0.5 releases on January 19, World of Warcraft is adding NPCs reflecting these new class and race combinations to the capital cities of the Horde and Alliance, as well as some Class Order Halls.

New expansions are always a joyous time in the World of Warcraft community. With it comes a host of new zones, Dungeons, and Raids, which in turn means hours of brand new things to do across all of Azeroth. It also means that players have an additional 10 levels to grind their way through during their quest to defeat the opposing faction. However, this grind can be daunting for newcomers and time-pressed people who either don’t have the time or experience to completely or effectively dedicate themselves to powering up their characters, especially with all the ways players can distract themselves....

Two important characters from WoW’s past are already confirmed to have roles in the next game. Not only were their fates strangely entangled in life, but this is not the first time that either of them has returned from death itself. The pair will likely remember the heroes that slew them all those years ago, and may still be out for each other’s blood in WoW: Shadowlands.
