Ex-NCsoft Employees on Tabula Rasa's Demise2010-02-24 00:00:00the successes, and the failures of
the best part of $100million burnt on a single project, then what hope is there for us to avoid making the same mistakes again?
Unlike Scott, I actually (superficially speaking) agree with this statement as to why Tabula Rasa, Age of Conan, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and Hellgate:London failed (TR, AoC, PotBS, and HL from now now...)
"No, these games failed because their developers let it happen."-Funcom *should have* learned enough lessons with Anarchy Online not to make the mistakes they did with AoC; not the precise same mistakes, but the same "class" of mistakes were made, suggesting that they tried to fix only the symptoms and failed to understand the causes.

World of Warcraft: PvP Panel Discussion2009-10-24 00:00:00into combat by just participating in the battle, there's no real potential for abuse.
Perhaps the most exciting announcement made at the PvP panel was the introduction of Guild Battlegrounds to the game. While a specific date wasn't mentioned, Blizzard is planning to allow guilds to get ranked in a system much like that of arena teams, with
the best guilds getting special rewards, hopefully inspiring more people (like hardcore raiders) to partici...
Unadulterated Awesomeness2009-09-21 00:00:00Apparently, it's a hub for both factions, and my curiosity at how Blizzard is planning on making it less of a Nesingwary-esque death zone is appeased when I try to fireball a Warrior, and get crushed by Gordawg (Fury of Earth) for about 21k damage.
Ouch. Ok, lesson thoroughly learned.
One of the more amusing quests in the zone is from the Throne of Elements, where a Broken shaman tells me that I'll need something to let me breathe underwater, and a particular berry can do the trick. Unfortunately,
the best way to find them is to sift through the dung piles of the Nagrand wildlife.
...ew? Sometimes I think the quest writers at Blizzard have a very twisted sense of humor.
There's also a very cool and very rewarding questline called the Ring of Blood. While turning in some quests at Garadar, I notice a Mag'har Gladiator training for something while a bunch of kids watch. I talk to him and he mentions the "Ring of Blood" in the Laughing Skull ruins to the North, but tells me I don't have the guts or the strength. I'm not nearly stupid enough to enter the Ring, am I?
Oh, I'm twice as stupid as that!
To the Laughing Skull ruins, folks!
There are quite a few Warmaul Ogres around (and I take the opportunity to put them down for a quest), but there's something unique a bit farther into the ruined town. There's a pit dug in the ground, and I see some Horde and Alliance waiting around it. There's a large Ogre called Mogor
, and a smaller Goblin named Gurgthock next to him.
The Ring of Blood, as the name might suggest, is a pit for combat. Mortal combat, in fact-but it's not a video game.
Er, actually, it kind of is. But that's not important! T... but Ill try to help you anyways; 2009-05-05 00:00:00it's till 202 (that's the hitap for warlks. regardless of sp. do not rely on the suppression talent) after that. +dmg, then rit.
