All Quiet on the Western Front
As the approach of 2.4 comes ever closer (some are betting on tomorrow, whether that actually pans out is anyone’s guess), there’s just not a lot going on that’s new and exciting, but I’m here to entertain you anyhow.
An interesting side note is that Blizzard recently released a replica of the infamous sword, Frostmourne. I think the price is pretty steep myself, but if you’re THAT hardcore of a fan, you may want to go pick up one. Apparently they’re limited edition with some kind of fancy doohicky microchip to verify authenticity. Personally I think it should at least be sharpened…what good is Frostmourne if it breaks when you hit something with it?!
I also recently came across a great comic over at Hammer of Grammar, which if you’re not familiar is a fairly popular web-comic based on the game. There are a select few web comics that I read on a regular basis, as I have enough distractions already in any given day. This however does make the cut.
In other news I recently read an interesting post from Bornakk, one of Blizzard’s faithful CM’s, in regards to responding to comments about an interview back in 2005, which was called upon to show the changing of the game’s direction since then. Bornakk, unsurprisingly, disagreed:
“There wasn’t a question in the original post, I was just commenting on it and pointing out some similarities from 2005 to patch 2.4 in 2008.
As for your questions, the reason why would be to improve the game. And top end PvP and PvE players continue to have access to some of the best items in the game, so I’d say we have no plans to change that.”
Personally, I’m happy with how things have panned out for Warcraft, given the multiple ways to progress your character these days. If you disagree however, perhaps the above quote will shed some light on what’s to come.
