36:06 is straight up daoc rvr, holy shit its back.

Stress test on Monday from 11am to 6pm. Tempted to take it off.
On an unrelated note, I've been reading up a lot on the game and there are some really cool things that they're doing. Well, at least they sound good on paper.

I can't believe nobody told me about this. In addition to there being all kinds of dummies to test out your skills on in the mists, there are NPCs representing each class. There is an elementalist, a necromancer, a guardian etc. They just stand there doing nothing - until you attack them. Then they figuratively COME AT YOU BRO with a wide variety of class skills. They try to kill you like a pvp player would. If you lose, you see a display of what skills they used to own you like in sPvP and then if you wait a few seconds, they rez you.

This is an amazing tool for testing out builds and I am dumbfounded other games don't have it. It's one of those "didn't know you needed it until someone showed it to you" things I guess.

That's pretty cool.

08/28/12 release date. http://www.arena.net/blog/announcing...-2-launch-date
Seems like a good time since the last beta weekend, there were some bugs but nothing too serious that I saw.
The game is actually pretty fun, its wow+rift+daoc. I haven't messed around with the pvp much but the little I saw was fun too.

Also next BWE is 07/20-22 if you pre-order it.

Everytime I get one of their emails I'm like "OH BOY BETA INVITE" and then I read it and I'm like, fuck you and your pre-order assholes.
