Tools of the Trade

In order to record our conversations with various players, we had two options at the beginning. We could write down the conversations or take screen-shots. Both presented problems. The first option required one of the members to take down by dictation or otherwise the conversations which at times proceeded quite quickly. The second option would take up much hard drive space, with the added difficulty of being unable to edit the contained text easily.

The problem resolved itself soon enough when our group member Max found an add-on application to the WoW executable. The programme, WoWScribe, allowed players to record all conversations held in-game. Unfortunately, we encountered some initial technical problems which forced us to lose all records of our initial session. Despite the loss of our data from that session, we have managed to master usage of the programme and every session since then has been documented.
