Hunters and leatherworking2010-03-03Drop LW for either mining or herbs and go make some money!
Seriously, the whole "I'll be a leatherworker so I can make my own armor" is very difficult to do.
As you get higher up you'll see that most of the LW-craftable mail items have +stam and +int but no +agi or any of the other fun bonuses hunters would like to have. Personally I've found LW to be a fair sized money-sink esp. since most of the stuff you'll be making in large quantities just to lvl up the skill but it won't sell very well.
It may get cool again at lvl 70, but right now it kinda sucks and I'm wishing I had just picked up two gathering skills for the cash. I'm lvl 62 and even with the firehose of gold that is Outl...

"Guitar Hero" helps Activision rock Wall Street2009-09-22SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Activision Inc (ATVI.O) posted a quarterly profit on Thursday that blew past expectations as demand for its "Guitar Hero 3" and "Call of Duty 4" video games offset an absence of new releases.
The two games, which were released late last year, drove Activision to a profit of just under $55 million, or 17 cents per share, more than triple the 5 cents per share expected by Wall Street on Reuters Estimates.
Revenue was $602.5 million, up 93 percent from a year ago and burying the average Wall Street forecast of $373.6 million.
"It's the ongoing popularity of 'Guitar Hero' and 'Call of Duty'. It just shows what can happen in terms of performance when you have blockbuster hit titles," said Colin Sebastian, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets.
Shares of Activision rose 3.9 percent to $28.78 in extended trade from a close of $27.70 on Nasdaq, where they had gained less than 1 percent in the regular session.

Is Guild Wars an MMORPG?2009-09-16Guild Wars takes place in a large virtual world made up of many different zones, and players can walk from one end of the world to the other. In Guild Wars much of the tedium of traveling through the world has been eliminated. Players can instantly return to any safe area (town or outpost) that they have previously visited just by clicking on it in the world overview map.
Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Com...
Criminal profiling is coming to a MMOG near you2009-09-08With an uprising of terrorists and other criminals playing MMOGs like Hello Kitty the U.S. Government believes it is essential that Gnomeland Security monitors online behavior in virtual worlds. Humor aside, I'm not making this up.
The U.S. intelligence community wants to employ counter terrorism measures by utilizing data-mining and profiling software in various online spaces such as video and even online gaming. In the unclassified Data Mining Report Act, (pdf) one initiative called the Reynard project would determine the feasib...

I'm new to mageness andasting in general, having leveled my druid to 70 feral all the way. Been lurking the mage forum here, and figure it's time to dive in.
