Patch 3.3.3 – Random Dungeons Changes Patch 3.3.3 should be deployed during the next maintenance on live servers and it’s time to mention a few interesting changes to the Dungeon Finder that I forgot to report in the past weeks.


The end of the Ultima brand

Once upon a time, in a previous millenium, there was a great series of single-player roleplaying games called Ultima. They were relatively open world compared to their competitors, and so it is not surprising that the series culminated in one of the first mass market MMORPGs, Ultima Online. Unfortunately once they acquired the brand, EA didn’t treat it all that well

Breakfast Topic: Thank you for the music

The very first time I made a character in World of Warcraft was way back during the original beta — I made a night elf. And then I logged in for the first time, and was immediately assaulted with visual eye-candy that has kept me entertained for over five years. But on top of the graphics, there was the music — something about the soundtrack just gelled the whole thing into a game I really, really wanted to continue playing

Being ‘left out’ is part of RP

No matter what group you are a part of, how many friends you have, how established you are in the group, and how much everyone loves your character, you will get left out of RP . Other people will write stories in which you will not participate, and they will be awesome and amazing, and you will want to play too, but you won’t be invited, even if you ask. People will leave RP gatherings to do things “in private” and you will get left behind at the bar with nothing to do.

So I’m going to talk about that, and will explain how a national broadband plan is similar to healthcare in being a form of redistribution. My apologies if that’ll sometimes sound a bit like Gevlon, only that I of course would be for redistribution, and he would be against.

Social Differences in Raiding

The following occurred as I was talking with a friend about raiding and how there’s a difficult balance between doing necessary content and content people want to do. It’s a balance of needs, wants and social structure that’s much different than just playing the game by yourself. (1:41:43 AM) Paradox : It’s a game.
