Burnout is a common theme these days. Crazy to think that we've been playing this game for close to 7 years now. Nothing else comes close. Anyhow, this is a temporary solution, but a temporary one. Any 85 who hasn't gone back and done the post-catalclysm vanilla zones ... is missing out...

1) When did I say I wasn't smitten? 2) Yeah, I don't have a good appreciation for what kind of overall payment volume microtransactions can generate. It's a great model for targeting people who can pay, I like that part. I just don't see how, on average, you can get the equivalent of $10-15...

It looks very cool. I'm still wrapping my head around the notion of all classes being self-sufficient (e.g. no tank/healer/dps). Will be interesting to see how that plays out ... either they will have pulled off the most exquisite class balancing exercise in history OR the class...

Pretty extensive article about Blizz's thought process behind the move at Joystiq here. They say: 1) The secondary markets develop anyhow. Rather than trying to "ban" them in vain, might as well make it safe and secure for players. 2) Diablo is non-competitive. So it doesn't risk...

Actually, the shadow wardens are WAY easier than the druids imo. If you'd gone with druids first, your internet would have been out that night as well as everything else that befell you.

Bump, as this came up in guild chat the other night. It's a great Firelands Daily guide!

Tree got his account back (mostly with stolen goods restored he said), he was on a few nights ago. And he is authenticated. A few days ago the AH was back to normal, full of value-priced Darkmoon cards on sale from Tree ... not the case right at this minute, though. Anyhow, if you don't...

100% agree, excellent point.

My instinct is with Ewoks ... they'll miss 2011. I think it might start out as November (because you'd always want to try to hit that) but then get pushed. Frankly, I'm almost hoping for that, because it would mean Bioware pushing for a quality release and winning over EA pushing to squeeze it...

About an hour after I pre-ordered on Amazon, my code showed up. I then registered a SWTOR account and put in the pre-order code and everything worked fine. So it seems like they're a bit backed up ... but still everything's working so have to give them props for that. 1.5M in a morning. wow!

Interestingly 4 options overall 1) Standard (Physical) $60 2) Standard (Digital) $60 3) Deluxe (Digital-Only) $80 ... has all the same in-game widgets as collectors, but (obviously) none of the physical widgets 4) Collectors (Physical-Only) $150 (with $20 off pre-order ... but it's already sold...

Funny, before coming here I just pinged Amazon and saw both the regular and collector's edition available for presale. $150 for the collector's edition, sheesh! Anyhow, I'm preordered as well. Haven't seen codes yet. In fact chatter on the Amazon product forums that they've already out of...

Seriously. She willingly built a fully produced music video around herself, then public YouTubed it. Twice. Even though she can't hit a note for all the Bieber hair flips in Canada. Star Wars kid this ain't.

Boy, ain't that the truth. I can't express my gratefulness to all those who provide free playtesting so that I don't have to face bug, load, or balance problems down the line. But I can't figure it out for the life of me what the appeal is to see a not-ready-for-prime-time game and do stuff...

I agree. Things are always different when one's gameplay is almost exclusively 10 p.m. ST or later (e.g. no raids, usually no more than a dozen guildies on) ... but I experienced the same sort of thing with FL. Initially very excited at all the content that as a non-raiding casual player I saw...

That is an outstanding find ... Wowhead's writeup was confusing to me, this one couldn't be clearer. But it's amusing. I remember when I did a writeup for the TBC Skyguard dailies in these forums, years ago. It felt like a wall of text then ... but it was probably 1/10 as long as the...

Seriously, Tree, no authenticator? When it's just an iPhone app away? To anyone who doesn't have an authenticator ... you really really should get one. It's a free app for iOS or android. While it adds one step to the login process where you have to type in a 10-digit number from the...

Yay!

Ouch! I guess Blizz couldn't come up with any plausible reason why someone would/could legitimately accumulate 250k+ gold ... then just trade it to someone else for nothing. As a joke. Clearly, they have not met Tree... Is there an appeals process? I would think that character...

Yeah, I had the freak-out Sunday night when the authenticator screen didn't pop up. So I immediately went to battle.net to see whether my authenticator was still linked ... and when battle.net DID require my authenticator, panicked a little less. I still thought for awhile that it was a...
