Ex-NCsoft Employees on Tabula Rasa's Demise2010-02-24 00:00:00$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.
-Destination Games knew a long long time before TR went to beta that it wasn't (going to be...

Unadulterated Awesomeness2009-09-21 00:00:00the Mag'har tribe of brown Orcs.
I kinda wonder
what makes them "Brown." I mean, they're definitely biological kin: we see Kilrogg Deadeye's son, Grom Hellscream's son, Saurfang's son... and they're all brown, not green like their kin. Strange. Perhaps it's something in Outland? Let's just say a wizard (Medivh!) did it.
As one can expect, there's a boatload of quests for yours truly, with objectives all over the massive zone of Nagrand. I can tell right away that this is going to be a blast. No, really, it's actually pretty cool. But
what would I be without my sarcasm? Certainly not your loveable, humble, narrator!
I've got quests up the wazoo, which is a very uncomfortable place for quests. Apparently, the Mag'har had another village far to the West, which was then invaded by the Murkblood tribe of Broken, who slaughtered most of the inhabitants. But since the Greatmother is sick and dying, Garrosh Hellscream can't get off his emo ass and go do something. So, the orcs ask if a certain awesomely nifty Mage can go help them get revenge. Unfortunately, as revenge is against my code, I have to decline.
Just kidding. You know me better than that, people! I'm all over that revenge thing.
In a pleasant discovery, each Broken killed awards me with 10 Mag'har reputation. Since there are groups of Murkblood Scavengers that have next to no HP, this becomes a very quick way to grind rep. Not that I really see a point to it (the only faction rewards I've seen thus far are some nifty epic mounts at Exalted, but I've got other things to do!) but... it's nice anyway.
Nearby, I encounter Saurfang the Younger-not yet ascended to ULTIMATE BADASS status like his father, but tough enough-and two Mag'Har Elders, who relate t...
