BlizzCon to be Broadcast Live on DIRECTV

by Dan Landis on September 4, 2008 at 11:13 pm

To the many übergeeks out there that couldn’t snatch up tickets to BlizzCon fast enough, in DIRECTV lies your savior.  For a mere $40, you can order the event via pay-per-view and watch the whole two-day shindig in hi-def.  Getting the pay-per-view is so close to actually going to BlizzCon that you will even score exclusive in-game items for your World of WarCraft character.

This story starts with a young boy and a subscription to the MMO Final Fantasy XI. After a few months with the game, he grows tired of it and decides he’s going to cancel. Great, so how do you do that? What seems like should be a simple task ends up an exercise in frustration. Little did Square Enix know — they just messed with the wrong guy. Read more…

WoW Expansion to Implement Achievements

by Dan Landis on July 18, 2008 at 3:19 am

Oh boy… If World of WarCraft wasn’t already a massive drain on your free time, then Wrath of the Lich King will make things significantly worse.  Not only will the expansion add Death Knights and an entire new continent, but it’s also bringing with it Achievements, which you earn by doing a myriad of quest-related and pointless things alike.  With examples like Town Crier, which I assume involves /yelling a lot, and another one for giving out 10 hugs, I expect my fellow denizens of the World of WarCraft are about to get a whole lot more annoying.

Pedophile Uses World of WarCraft to Meet Girls

by Dan Landis on June 30, 2008 at 2:43 am

An Australian man was arrested recently after he convinced a 15-year-old girl he met while playing World of WarCraft to run away from home to be with him. He even paid for the trip. How sweet. Read more…

WoW to Implement Level 30 Mounts, Nerf Twinks

by Dan Landis on June 20, 2008 at 9:03 pm

Among the many changes the upcoming World of WarCraft patch 2.4.3 will bring, the most significant is probably the ability to get a mount at level 30. Paladins and Warlocks will get their first summon at this level, while other classes can purchase Apprentice level riding for a mere 35 gold. This will make leveling up an alt slightly more bearable, and hopefully you all read this prior to dinging 40 and plunking down too much cash for your soon-to-be-overpriced level 40 mount.

Read on for the full Test Realm patch notes, including ridable dragonhawks and a huge nerf to twinks. Read more…
