GotGame tries to bring a browser and social networking inside Azeroth {WOW Insider}
Oct 2nd 2008 4:28AM this is clever, but incredibly scary from a security point of view. The last thing i'd ever want is a web browser running in the in the same security context as WoW.. that's going to bring up a whole world of key loggers, and technical / social exploits.
Blizzard retracts honor point changes: honor points will not be reset {WOW Insider}
Oct 2nd 2008 4:18AM "Can we please please please ban the mmo-champion fanboy already?"
a little harsh. he's voicing his opinions, which you just so happen to disagree with. WI has a user-centric moderation mechanism to down down-mod comments you don't like, and i think works pretty well.
Blizzard retracts honor point changes: honor points will not be reset {WOW Insider}
Oct 1st 2008 6:04AM aargh, annoying, i've been spending my honor points and tokens on crap instead of seeing them go to waste.
almost tempted to log a GM ticket and get them refunded.
New items for old Honor {WOW Insider}
Sep 24th 2008 9:33PM how does this prorposed wipe of honor points, and marks work if, lets say, you're not going to be upgrading to WotLK?
i only hit 70 2 weeks ago, and i still have over half of outland to grind through. if i don't buy WotLK i still PVP in the lvl70 bracket.
bah.
Zune 3.0 hands-on {Engadget}
Sep 16th 2008 12:10PM my thoughts exactly. After getting re-addicted to hexic all over again i was left longing with integration with xbox live integration, high score synching, achievements. No doubt this will fit in with zune 4.0, lets just hope we don't have to wait another year for that.
as for the upgrade process, it worked a charm.. software installed hitch free here at work, device upgraded without a hitch (and i'd faffed around with community game stuff prior which i thought might complicate things), and it's all tickety boo (good!).
shame the account sign in page has been broken for a large part of the day preventing us from re-accepting the EULA (why is that stored online??), and there STILL being no sign of a EU marketplace.
Background downloader primed for content patch {WOW Insider}
Sep 10th 2008 7:01PM "Correct me if I'm wrong"
you're wrong. with each expansion there are a lot of game mechanics that change for everyone, including those without the expansion. so blizzard roll out this patch ahead of the expansion, mainly to minimise support issues, bandwidth, QQ'ers, etc, etc.
actual WotLK will be what unlocks the boats / zepplins to north rend, and causes the mass exodous from outland. :D
New racial abilities for Wrath {WOW Insider}
Sep 7th 2008 8:45PM i get balancing.
i really do.
i don't get removing a weapon specialisation (guns) and replacing it with something else (maces)
I guess you could argue that a racial weapon specialisation is either a stupid thing to give a race, or over powerd, depending on what classes are played by specific races.. and i think the point is racials were there to help guide people in to specific races and classes when they created their characters. So to change that now seems silly. There are a lot of dwarven hunters that are now going to lose a racial ability because they can't use maces, and picked to be a dwarf for the gun racial.
bah. Alter the affects, make them work slightly different, don't change them entirely.
Vaneras announces closure of four European servers {WOW Insider}
Sep 1st 2008 9:00AM heh, yeah, me too. I started out there on release day. iirc, i think it was already highly populated on day #1, and got steadily worse over the course of the first year.. pretty much always greeted by queues of 400+
in a way it's sad to see it closing down, in another i don't care as i transferred off it long ago.
is this the start of the end of WoW? Closing realms? that hasn't happned in a LONG time iirc.

Aug 29th 2008 5:00PM can this be used on yourself proactively...
if you sense a stealthed rogue coming up behind you can you use master's call to grant 4sec immunity to stun effects?
