It’s the standard threat, tossed around among gamers when relations start to go sour with a game company — We should sue! Or, for the more sophisticated game hags: Class action suit! One Chinese gamer is suing for $11 and an apology. I’d probably do a whole bit here about gaming in a communist country, but hell, those people have enough to deal with. via: Kotaku

Protocol for the Shameless
I’ve been running around in World of Warcraft’s open beta for about a week, as you’d know if you’ve been camping this site for fresh post spawns as you should. (news reader = fresh post camping for the afk — The internets kick ass!)
Anyways, what a gankfest that game is. There is a protocol here, people! If I ran into a zombie in real life, I would look around first to make sure no one was camping zombie spawns in the parking lot. It’s only polite. Then, and only then, would I kill said zombie with my car keys.
The gankfest reminded me of an observation I made when I was playing Star Wars Galaxies.
Online Involuntary Servitude
I haven’t met up with my EQ/SWG guildmates in World of Warcraft yet. They’re all over there, but I’m reluctant to strap on the guild yoke just yet, so I lied to told them, “Busy with work, I’ll be around for live.” The official guild response was *sigh* … like I’m going to hold them back if I don’t play Open Beta. Which I am, but I’m not. *nudge nudge*
Why am I acting like such a jackass and a social miscreant? I mean, more so than usual? They have a WoW DKP system set up already; they’re mapping out professions for the guild (ex. We need more rogues, dammit!); they’re scheduling guild raids each night. FOR AN OPEN BETA.
I kid you not.
