Agreed on the homepage bit...had noticed that but also have ultra-wide monitors. Gonna remove some of the duplicate/unneeded modules there to get it down to 2 columns. Dragonhawk did a great job setting that up, just looking to modify a bit and get some activity going. So far it's really nice...
Definitely open them...I'd just wait until you get a good set of boosters going. I kick guild karma off every Friday evening so it lasts the night and most of Saturday. Outside of that it should be pretty easy to find a heroes banner by the bank, get ice cream, and kick off one of those many...
Timberline falls is my favorite zone, I think. I also share your affinity for snow zones Tek, but Timberline takes the cake for me due to the mountains, pines, and streams. IIRC, they modeled it after Alaska or something like that.
10 copper sounds about right. Speaking of GW1...need to log in there sometime and see what sort of Minis I have going on...lol. Surely they could be of use to someone.
Welcome, direpath! It definitely sounds like you made the right choice - you can get your levels back quickly, but 1800 gems is 2 extra character slots! Thanks for joining us on SoR, and I look forward to playing with youl :)
Remember that blueprints stack, so...we shouldn't be THAT swamped. :) I wasn't able to drop them on top of a stack, though, so I had to pull them out to my inventory, stack, then re-insert in GB.
Heh it definitely flopped. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it was clear they were going for a Pirates feel that fell pretty flat. Fortunately for me it passed from the "hey this is sort of bad" to "so B movie it's now super enjoyable" and had a great time. :)
Okay it's not so much a spoiler if it's on an official blog post, but this living story is starting to get very interesting.

You can do exactly what Ursen is suggesting - remove old drive, put blank one in, and reinstall away. The only negative there is it's a royal pain in the butt - installing windows, updates, reinstalling programs, re-downloading programs, etc.
Cloning a drive just makes a full copy bit by...
If by "performance" you mean how fast your computer boots and loads an area, then yes. If by performance you mean your FPS, then no. Sounds to me like your framerates are already great, though. :)
A couple of notes on your Mushkin:
I've never heard of these guys, but 53 reviews and 4.5 stars...
What you want is an SSD. You can have more than one drive, you know! ZERO actual research done to compare price or similar brand, but this is what I'm running so I can vouch for it. Bought mine around December I think, was good price/space then...
Concerning bottlenecks, HDD only has to do with your loading speed, not how it performs in game. Don't get me wrong, that's HUGE! I love loading up LA in 5 secons on my SSD. Huge quality of life saver there, especially when I'm trying to WP chain to save silver.
In-game, large lags tend to...
Great point! This is one of the reasons people love Steam so much. Anyone remember having a huge binder full of games young and old, trying to keep track of keys, etc? Go to install...crap, time to update. Oops...updates not working for some reason. What a pain. Got a new computer? Time...
