WoW’s 7th Anniversary

WoW 7th Anniversary

Blizzard posted on the WoW blog a little earlier yesterday that the 7th anniversary was coming up and we’d have a fun new item to play with just for logging in!

“World of Warcraft turns seven on November 23, 2011! It’s been a truly incredible seven years, and we’d like to thank you all for joining us for yet another fantastic year. To celebrate, players who log into the game between November 20 and December 3 will earn a feat of strength added to their Achievements and a “Celebration Package” item. Using your item will get the celebrations rolling by shooting off fireworks*, applying a (visual only) tabard to your character, and granting a 7% bonus to experience and reputation gains while active.

We look forward to another year of adventures ahead and many more to come!“

SWTOR NDA Lifted

SWTOR NDA Lifted

GregZeschuk on the official Star Wars the Old Republic forums posted yesterday afternoon letting everyone know that the disclosure agreement that everyone signs when they’re invited to test the game (NDA basically means you’re not allowed to disclose anything about testing the game other than telling people “I’m testing, yes”) has been dropped and we’re now freely allowed to talk about it. That means we’ll have some good updates about SWTOR starting to show up on this frontpage. I’ve personally been beta testing for over a year and have had several others in our group testing for the past few months with me. A couple of us even had weekend invites to beta test, so we’ve got a lot of opinions about the game.

We’ll be starting up a SWTOR section in the forums for discussion about the game.

Minecon and Minecraft’s Release

Minecon

Minecon is going strong today with loads of costumes, free goodies, and hot chicks dressed up as wolves. Someone even killed the Dragon before we could get in and scoop up all the XP… dang! Jeb brought his own wolf along and tweeted earlier that Minecraft will officially be released during Notch’s keynote speech. Mollstam isn’t too happy, though because the login servers seem to have “gone sad“. Hopefully he’ll get it fixed in the next hour or so before the game’s official.

We plan on having our JOB server up and running soon (as in, this week) so go grab a copy of the game and join us on the forums and in-game!

PS you get the game here.
