Blizz has canned the real name fiasco – for now…

So the outcry of the masses was succesful and Blizz decided that they won’t make real names mandatory on the forums – for now. Am I happy? Yes, definitely. Still, the trust I lost in Acti-Blizz over this will not be rebuilt that fast. I cannot shed the niggling suspicion that they just postponed it instead of completely discarded it. My YAY! is a very wary YAY!

AT THIS TIME I congratulate Blizzard on this decision. I am glad that I can renew my account now.

Trollocks and Dwarlocks, oh my…

rawr!

While the dwarf warlocks aren’t tempting me (much) the news that we will be able to play Troll warlocks in Cataclysm just made my inner altoholic rejoice. Damn, I need MOAR CHARACTER SLOTS!

I mean, just look at that lovely lady on the left… that’s just pure and epic badassery. There are so many rp-ideas jumping at me from just looking at that pick I can hardly keep up writing them all down.

Trolls are – by Blizzard’s definition – a vicious and bloodthirsty lot. They should have got to be warlocks right from the start instead of mages. Collecting soul-candy fits right in with headhunting and cannibalism.

Once again, Blizz has managed to make me antsy to get my hands on their new expansion. Well played, very well played, indeed!
