Kotaku’s interview with the Onyxia raid guy aka The More Doots guy … Dives of the guild Wipe Club on the European realm, Boulderfist. (*cough*typical 22 year-old bullshit*cough*)

EQdkp Under Attack!
If your guild, like mine, is using the venerable EQdkp program to track guild raid points, attendance and the like, it’s time to patch a security fix. (DO IT NOW!) “A security vulnerability was recently discovered in all current versions of EQdkp that could allow remote code inclusion on specific server configurations, if register_globals is enabled.” More discussion is available here in a forum thread. You’re probably wondering how in the world did I run across this rather obscure gaming news? Is the AFK Gamer staff so on top of late-breaking news that nothing escapes their notice? Thank you. Actually, my guild’s DKP site got whacked last night, although we didn’t discover it until the guildmates started checking their up-to-the-minute DKP balances at work (as you do) and were greeted with this defacement (Flickr screenshot), which, loosely translated means … I cut off your American head and drink soup out of the skull.
Warcraft Declared
The New York Times reported that Blizzard Entertainment is expected to announce today plans for a big-budget feature film based on the Warcraft series. Legendary Pictures, a Warner Bros affiliate, will provide the movie magic; their past and present projects include Batman Begins, Superman Returns, and The Phantom Concludes. (Ok, I made up that last one but it seems like the same guy is titling everything out of that studio.) Presumably frame rate will not be an issue with a Warcraft movie.
