Half a million players spent more than 3 million hours in the Guild Wars Factions weekend preview from March 24th through March 26th. ArenaNet and NC Soft execs were relieved that at least some of the Warcraft servers were operational or it would have been 6 million players logging 36 million hours, which would have left their server farms a smoking ruin. When the hell does that thing come out anyways? Oh, April 28th. That’s kind of a new game and I assume their servers can’t be any worse than Warcraft’s. Maybe I could try that. Why am I thinking out loud? I have no idea.

Is His Name Rumpelstilskin?

There’s a fun puzzle to work out over at Grouchy Gnome’s site, Nerfbat. I spent all of my morning coffee time googling dev bios, counting letters and CHEATING — could have saved myself a lot of time by waiting until Krones makes a guess since he has everyone’s resume in a mental rolodex. My opinion, no good can come from taking off the mask, but there’s no saving some people. Especially gnomes.
