Heya: I'm excited about this change. It's been pointed out elsewhere, but this means that Blizzard (the company behind World of Warcraft) no longer needs to bother trying to balance paladins and shamans _against_ each other. They can make both classes distinct. Take care, Dreeble

Heya: I had thought that the "twist" for the movie () had already been revealed. Were people not aware of this or is this considered common knowledge and can't possibly be "the" twist? -Dreeble

Heya: Grain of salt, of course, but I've read that in the beta they're lucky to get 100 people playing at peak times. I'm assuming they've invited more than 100 people into the beta, which tells me that Vanguard _as a beta_ just isn't particularly fun right now. The obvious response to that...

Heya: Yah, 'zactly. Also, I wasn't making an unconfirmed assumption, in fact the whole point of my post was to attempt to confirm my assumption, hence the "just to clarify" and the "if so". And now to prevent feather rufflage: :) ;) :D :heh: Take care, Dreeble

Heya: So, just to clarify, I can get around the rule about ascribing motives, thoughts, and opinions to others by claiming I'm engaging in parodying railroading? Very cool, if so. Take care, Dreeble

Heya: I'm super happy they're adding a Transmute Heart of Fire to (3) Elemental Fire spell. I kind of wish the Totem of Air Tranquility was Totem of Earth Tranquility instead, but I'll probably continue to be in groups getting Windfury or Grace of Air since my character is a rogue (and can...

Heya: Didn't they do something similar to One Year Later with Superman that was written and drawn by Jim Lee? I really didn't like it since I had zero clue what was going on. Sure, the point is that they slowly reveal "what's going on" (well, what _went_ on the previous year). It doesn't...

Heya: There was a cool short-lived rumor that the Alliance would be getting Worgen (werewolves) as their new race, but it was shot down: it started because some guy wrote a plausible intro/story for it and asked if anyone thought it might be a good idea. Darn. Take care, Dreeble

Heya: Saying Blizzard may be slow is like saying the ocean may be wet. But I agree, I've never had problems getting their games to run on launch day. The question is, _when_ is that launch day. The answer is, far off. ;) Also, the launch of WoW was a little weird. The first week or two...

Heya: >Pandaren Another rumor about the Pandaren not being the alliance race was that it would in some way offend their Chinese customers. Apparently there is some sort of stricture against depicting the killing of pandas. Just a rumor, though. What I've heard is the Alliance might get some...

Heya: Let's say there were no issues with where you folks play. If someone does need to be booted (that is, things can't be truly resolved in a comfortable and fun way otherwise) then which player leaving would maximize fun for the rest of the group? On the one hand I'd always advocate...

Heya: I liked the fight between Jackie Chan's character and the dual wielding sword guy in Shanghai Knights. I'm no expert on swordfighting, but I thought the choreography of that fight was well done. The two swords guy's movements looked graceful and effective. Also, it really felt like a...

Heya: There are at least 20 servers (of a total of, what, 80?) that are having _severe_ problems. If you look at the stickied posts at the top of the official WoW General forums there is some discussion of these problems. Then the non-stickied posts made by regular people are brimming over...

Heya: Dreeble Garona (Central, Carebear) Undead Rogue Lvl 45 Cohors Praetoria Advice for Horde rogues: To raise pick lock skill to 100, just keep skilling up on the chests in the hold of the ship near Ratchet. To raise pick lock skill to 175 continue on the quest chest on the floor...

Heya: Well, that's weird. "World of Warcraft Open Beta Signups Closed - Nebu on 11/09/04" That's the second notice on the www.worldofwarcraft.com website. Oh, well. If other people get in, cool. The 7 people I play with (plus hopefully 4 or 5 from City of Heroes eventually) all decided...
