Actually, the range is now 4 to max range, not 1. I think the "1" is a typo or something. ^^; So there's no point blank ranged combat. (I tested this myself on the PTRs a couple of nights ago)

But I agree, I think this fixes a major issue for hunters - the dead zone made a lot of things more difficult than they had to be.

Azeroth Interrupted: Escape from Los Angeles

Oct 22nd 2007 2:00PM on WoW

I think a lot of it has to do, as others have said, with the number of younger gamers.

EQ and some of the other 'first gen' MMO games had players who were, generally speaking, near the end of college or college graduate age (i.e. mid-20s on up).

Not to say that everyone is/was mature, but there was a higher percentage of mature people compared to WoW.

That also probably comes from sheer numbers as well.

I also think some of the recent '"American" gamer mentality' (now much more international) has something to do with it, too.

Winning gracefully isn't as important anymore. Just winning, and the associated trash talk, is.

It's hard to pin down completely, but I will admit - it's really annoying sometimes.

The hundred gadget giveaway: round 8

Sep 5th 2007 6:27PM on Engadget Mobile

Engadget has always been my number one source for English-language gadget information. I've made several wise decisions thanks to the reviews and info I've found here. ^_^

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
