OMG, They Killed Kalimdor!

I hear tell there was a smidgen of a problem with the World of Warcraft servers last night, henceforth known as The Night Kalimdor Died. All I know personally is that I downloaded the minipatch, said hey to the guild, server crashed, logged back in, said hey again to the guild and was that just me, heard that it wasn’t just me but I should be glad I didn’t log in Kalimdor (as if!) because those poor SOBs are truly fucked and would I be going to ZulGrub with them assuming the server holds up.

Explained I, no, won’t be wasting my time going to ZG I had bigger fish to fry, namely a rather large download and a rather annoying patch and a rather lengthy login process and weren’t they kind of jealous and indeed, they were a little jealous. HA!

Hell, I just told them what I was up to, bragging rights and all, but I can’t tell you because thugs would show up at my door and beat my kneecaps with a bat and one thing I’ve learned is that I really need my kneecaps. So some times, I’ll be busy with that other thing that I can’t tell you about and some times I’ll be busy with Warcraft as usual.

I can tell you this about the other thing, I’ve already made some new friends. And when I say “friends”, you know I mean people that I hate.

(EDIT: Haha, I just remembered this one idiot from last night, who said (paraphrasing, but accurately), “I’ve been in a few endgame guilds that would kick you for profanity of any kind in guildchat or voicechat, top of the server type guilds”, which I figure is a COMPLETE fabrication. Try again, noob.)

Spellborn Beta

The Chronicles of Spellborn, another MMOG about battling evil in a persistent pretend world, recently sent out invites for closed beta. I don’t know anything other than what I read there and in the FAQ … oh yeah, and what I read over at VirginWorlds … but I also found a Betawatcher contest you can enter for a beta key. Answer some questions about TCoS, maybe score a key. Contest ends January 25th. You’re welcome. (Maybe. If it sucks, I’m sure you won’t be thanking me, but we’ll cross that bridge later.)
