• • Drop The Chaos Chicken Rule

  • I believe that you will be able to enter the RvR area without becoming a chicken but once you try and attack someone then you will go "poof".

• • Australia/NZ gets WAR server

  • Gotta say that is a really smart move. That is one thing that Blizzard never did and will probably garner a bigger customer base from that region. It sucks trying to play with a game with awful ping.

• • New WoW numbers

  • First Off I would love to see how many of those people are in the US and EU. The rest of those numbers can just be disregarded because the Asian market has a different payment system and if I remember correctly (don't quote me) they didn't even pay for the expansion. If we start counting the Asian market then prepare for the item mall games that have 20-70 million accounts. 1 asian game can crush the numbers that the NA/EU market puts out.

    They wont make the end of 2008 for the expansion and if they do it will be the worst thing they have ever done. The BC expansion had already had beta signups in march 2006. Beta started in like september. They JUST went into alpha and have stated that no raid bosses, except the ones they are reusing LOL, have been made yet.  Figure 4 months for beta testing and since there is no beta signup yet and judging by their past actions we can guess that the time from beta signups to beta testing is 6 months ish. Even cutting that estimate in half we are left we 7 months. They would need to release beta signups next month and start testing in september. Blizzard is ALWAYS late and never early.

    1. Is WAR going to be worth quitting your favorite game to pay and play? For me not really. I've been playing WoW for several years. I enjoy it, I play with 'real life' friends, 'online' friends, and have multiple 70s.  For now I can't see quiting my current game to start the long ardous trek again.

    Gaming should not be a "long arduous trek".  That's what jobs are for.
    
    Some of us don't care about how high our levels are.  We just want a fun game.
    
    So do want you want.
    Many of us are in between MMOs right now, so it's not an issue.
     

    Wintering over in Antarctica is arduous.  Most jobs are not.

    Under one definition wintering in Antarctica would most definitely be arduous since it is difficult. Most jobs are indeed arduous to the person working them. It can be mentally or physically difficult to do the same thing day in and day out. Since it is difficult then that would place it in line with being arduous.

• • Pc Gamer article: First 10 mins of WAR are Abysmal

  • The first quest in any mmo will always be something simple. WoW was go talk to this guy and that guy gave you a kill quest to kill skeletons, boars, or plain striders for horde.  10 minutes? I can spend 10 minutes just looking at stats and all the other little screens that you can look at. SWG  you used to have to wait 10 minutes just for a transport! If 10 minutes out of  years of fun is the downside then by all means I am sold.

    As for the starting quest. Well you just invaded the High Elf land and you are attacking them. Obviously the first wave of defenders will be those around which would probably be sailors. The fairies are a question yet unanswered. Maybe they help the high elfs? Maybe they are really a third party viaing for control of the elven lands? Who knows but killing fairies doesn't sound bad, the sound of a fairie getting hit with my halberd is music to my pointy ears.

    2 skills? LOL.  Thats part of the growth in an MMO. You gain more skills, power, and stats. Thats like playing a fps and complaining you don't have a better gun right away,
