About Me

My name is Kelly Mcdonalid, and I am a senior writer and reporter specializing in World of Warcraft news for ticgn.com. I have spent more than two decades playing, analyzing, and writing about this multiplayer game. You can always reach out to me with news tips, guide feedback, or general questions by sending an email to info@ticgn.com.

My Professional Background

My daily responsibilities at ticgn.com include tracking game hotfixes, analyzing class balance updates, and testing upcoming patches on the Public Test Servers. I also write detailed coordination guides for players who enjoy collecting rare mounts, pets, and achievements. By testing these systems myself and verifying the data directly on live servers, I ensure that the guides we publish are accurate and reliable. I always look at the math behind balance changes to explain talent trees and spell rotations in a practical, easy-to-use format.

A Lifetime of Warcraft Experience

My relationship with the Warcraft franchise began in the mid-1990s with the real-time strategy games. I grew up playing Warcraft II and Warcraft III, studying the manuals, and learning the stories of the characters. When the online role-playing game launched in 2004, I was among the first players to log into the servers. Over the years, I have experienced every expansion, played every class, and participated in every form of content, from forty-player raids in the classic era to high-level Mythic+ dungeons in the modern game.

My Approach to Games Journalism

I believe that good game journalism is straightforward, balanced, and useful. Some writers rely on clickbait headlines or unnecessarily long explanations to attract attention. At ticgn.com, I prefer to keep my writing direct. I focus on the facts of what is changing in the game, why it is changing, and how it will affect your daily play sessions. I avoid using abstract language or confusing jargon so that the information remains accessible to all players, whether they are veteran raiders or newcomers stepping onto the servers for the first time.

Connecting with the Community

The community is the most important part of any online game, and I value the connections I have built with our readers over the years. I regularly read the comments on my articles, monitor community forums, and participate in in-game discussions. If you want to suggest an article topic, point out an error that needs correcting, or share a discovery you made on the servers, please do not hesitate to contact me at info@ticgn.com. I am always happy to hear from fellow players and collaborate on making our coverage as helpful as possible.
