Happy 4th of July |
|
Jul 04, 2008 - 10:55 AM - by Ravenia

I wanted to extend wishes for a safe and happy holiday to all of our American members. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to take a moment to acknowledge the special sacrifices made by the brave men and women serving in the military where ever they may be. They are the ones who fight so that we can enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. They even pay the ultimate price so that we can all sleep soundly at night.
Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. What unites us is far greater than what divides us.

Diablo 3 Announced |
|
Jun 29, 2008 - 12:09 AM - by Mithan
|
Diablo 3 has been officially announced today by Blizzard.
The Basics:
# No release date as of yet.
# Development in its "early stages" despite being underway for over four years.
# Brand new in-house engine developed for Diablo III. Includes Havoc physics.
# Co-op is fully integrated into the game's design.
# Will also be released on Mac.
# Similar in length to Diablo II.
# Takes place twenty years after Diablo II expansion pack.
# Only fifty people working on the game at the moment. Content creation the current focus.
# New Battle.net will debut with StarCraft II. Even more features by the time Diablo III launches.
# No console release of Diablo III planned. Other Blizzard title staying on PC and Mac also.
# Pay to play? Totally undecided, though it could vary between regions. For example, China may because of the popularity of internet cafes and the strict gaming laws that are meant to prevent people becoming addicted.
# Could be up to 100 enemies on-screen at a time.
# The ice splash page malarkey was Diablo all along, ditto on the eyes. I am vindicated. The penguin remains a mystery, however.
# Hellgate: London-esque randomness is in, to an extent. Some maps and what have yous will be static.
# Low-spec [computer] losers are being catered to.
# World of Warcraft and The Legend of Zelda heavily influenced boss design and boss gameplay mechanics.
# E-Sports support is a possibility. Team is attempting to form a business plan that works for that crowd.
# No character customisation, just gender selection.
# PvP will likely be included at release.
# Voice communication will be improved.
# Beta is a possibility.
# "Potions are still in the game, they're just not as core an element. So there's a new health system here. Wilson says he actually tried a Halo-style shield system with regenerative health, but didn't put that in because it encouraged players to leave combat. Didn't want to implement a WoW-style health which encourages players to drink and creates downtime when out of combat. Wilson wants the health system to ensure combat, which is health globes were implemented."
# One health pot restores all players in co-op.
# Enemies can miss and get weapons stuck in scenery or world.
# Player characters will be fully voice acted.
# Four-to-five person co-op groups.
# Respecs are likely to be included.
Here are tonnes of links to information about it:Yes, I am excited. As simple as the original two games were, I still loved them for the time.

New Blizzard Authenticator |
|
Jun 27, 2008 - 11:27 PM - by Mithan
|
Blizzard has introduced a new "Authenticator" to keep assholes out of your accounts (ie- account theft).
For the complete information on this new feature, please go here.
Unfortunately, it costs $6.50 per account, but if it helps, its worth it in my opinion.
And for other Security News, Firefox 3.0 was released a couple of weeks ago. I highly suggest you dump Internet Explorer and use Firefox 3.0 as your main browser, along with the NoScript and AdBlock Addon's, as they will virtually bulletproof your system from trojans and online virus's. NoScript is the main one that everybody should use, even though it can be a bit of a pain to learn to use, but once you learn it, scripts can not hi-jack you.
Of course if you are still downloading random .exe files from "WoW" sites and running them, then you deserve to have your WoW account hacked.

|
We will have a guild meeting this July, 2 at 7:30 (Server). We will have the meeting on Ventrilo, if you do not have ventrilo yet, you can download it at www.ventrilo.com.
The agenda for this meeting is to discuss where the guild is currently and what the direction we want to proceed or continue.
A channel called "Guild Meeting" Has been created to fend off any chaos of multiple people talking and will record it so those that might not be able to attend it can listen to it. The channel is initially muted ("N" by your name) and a moderator will un-mute in order to let you ask questions or concerns.

We’re currently planning to end the third Arena season and begin Arena Season 4 on June 24, 2008. This exciting Arena season will introduce the Brutal Gladiator set, and will also allow players to purchase Arena Season 2 items using the honor system. Please note that we will be resetting all Arena team and personal ratings. Players will still retain their Arena points and teams with this reset. The team and personal rating will simply be reset to the default 1500, allowing all teams to once again compete for top honors with a fresh start.

Also, with the end of the third season, players on the top teams from each battlegroup will receive their end-of-season rewards. These include Arena-specific titles that they can display proudly until the end of the new season, and, for the best of the best, an Armored Nether Drake. Please also be aware that with the end of the current season, all previous end-of-season titles will be removed.
