0 Digg it    Blizzard introduces Blizzard Authenticator for enhanced WoW security
  Views: 68  |  Category : Default |  Post time : 2008-06-26 10:46:05    Comments: 1  |  Bookmark

An extra precaution for your WoW Account - Image 1Here's something special for our World of Warcraft readers out in Europe. Blizzard is introducing what you could call an optional layer of security for your World of Warcraft account through a new product they've come out with, called the Blizzard Authenticator.

Think of it as a key with ever-changing teeth that fit into an ever-changing lock meant specifically for you. Here's a brief description of the new product straight from the press release:

Designed to attach to a keychain, the lightweight and waterproof Blizzard Authenticator is an electronic device that generates a six-digit security code at the press of a button. This code is unique, valid only once, and active for a limited time; it must be provided along with the account name and password when signing in to the World of Warcraft account linked to it.


The Blizzard Authenticator will be available at Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational from June 28-29 (in France, no less) and will retail for 6 Euro (US$ 9). It'll also be made available from Blizzard's European websites in the near future for 6 Euro plus shipping.

UPDATE: It looks as if it'll be available in America too. There's an FAQ for the Blizzard Authenticator on th

0 Digg it    Age of Conan update: patch notes for June 26, 2008

Stygian Warrior approves of the patch notes - Image 1Funcom's released a new update for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, and it seems to be a pretty extensive set of changes. In addition to the usual class tweaks, this latest patch has split up a questline into four parts, re-allowed limited spellcasting on mounts, and revamped active blocking.

Here are the full set of patch notes. Feel free to go ahead and update your client while you're reading, so you can get back into the action as soon as possible.

Player Character

Archetype
  • The bonus magical damage granted from Mystical Attunement has been doubled for Mages.
  • Spells that were incorrectly receiving bonuses from increased magical damage will no longer scale with increased magical damage. This adjustment will only affect such spells that were not meant to have scaling with the increased magical damage bonus. This resolves issues with enhancement spells like "Pact with Set" where the health loss was too high for the trade off for the bonus to damage.
Barbarians
  • An issue where Barbarians lose strength between the levels of 42 and 45 has been resolved. Please note that this is only between those specific levels.
Demonologist
  • Infernal Knowledge and Dia

0 Digg it    Warhammer Online details revealed at Games Day 2008
  Views: 89  |  Category : Default |  Post time : 2008-06-18 01:16:55    Comments: 0  |  Bookmark

Warhammer forbidden: Age of Reckoning MMORPG - Image 1EA Mythic was present at Games Day 2008 where they shared a number of tidbits regarding the highly anticipated MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

A post on the waaagh! blog compiled a list of facts about the game including the necessary system specs to play the game, population and level caps, as well as the development of the first expansion pack:
  • Mythic rep on system requirements: “Any PC within the past 3 years will more than likely run WAR without issues.”
  • Servers will have population caps on each side to keep them balanced between Order and Destruction. Most MMOs have server population caps; WAR will have realm caps (i.e. two separate caps per server).
  • Level 40 isn’t the actual end game — there are still 80 renown ranks, armor sets (”around 20″), Tome of Knowledge unlocks, claim keeps, unlock content in the capital cities, and so on to explore and achieve.
  • Mythic is already planning the first two years of release, the first two big content patches, and is currently in pre-production into the first expansion pack.
It looks like this game has the potential of living up to all the hype it has been generating. However, we're g

0 Digg it    Cabal Online Europe - Open Beta access available this high noon

ESTsoft Corp.'s Cabal forbidden MMORPG - Image 1 


Word has it that a big showdown will be happening this high noon on the Cabal Online servers in Europe. Nope, there won't be any cowboys facing off against one another on a dusty street. Instead, Games-Masters recently announced the end of the Closed Beta Testing phase for the game and will be implementing the new Open Beta access this noon.

There will be several small, necessary updates implemented to the client during this time. At the moment, there is a technical issue which prevents users from downloading stuff from the local servers at maximum speed. This will most likely cause major slowdowns during the updating process.

However, the developers are working hard to correct this problem and assured everyone that it will be solved very soon. In the meantime, make sure your connection is freed up and ready to receive the latest updates for the Open Beta phase of Cabal Online.

We'll be sure to keep everyone up to speed on the latest news regarding Cabal Online, so keep yourselves tuned into this site for more updates.

Funcom's Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures MMORPG - Image 1It wasn't so long ago when the PC version of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (the Xbox 360 version hasn't been released yet) was patched and yet the developers from Funcom don't seem to be letting up. This patch adds new gear and assets, fixes a couple of the problems, and more.

Those playing Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures might  want to check out the changes made to the mounts (faster rhinos for the win!), each character class, as well as quest updates. Here are the patch notes:

Mounts
  • The Killer Rhino and War Mammoth have received a minor increase to their trot and gallop speeds. The trot (default movement speed) should now be slightly faster than a jogging player, while the gallop should only be slightly slower than a sprinting player.
  • The Standard Horse has received a moderate increase to it's canter and gallop speeds. The canter (default movement speed) should now be equal to a sprinting player, while the gallop should be slightly faster than twice the speed of a jogging player.
  • The Armored Horse has received a moderate increase to its canter and gallop speeds. The canter (default movement speed) should now be a slightly faster than a sprinting player, while the gallo

  Views: 67  |  Category : Default |  Post time : 2008-06-02 11:01:34    Comments: 0  |  Bookmark

Warhammer forbidden - Image 1A press release from EA Mythic gave out more details on the crafting system in their upcoming MMORPG: Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

It was revealed that there will be two crafting skills called Apothecary and Talisman Making as well as four support gathering skills called Cultivating, Magical Salvaging, Scavenging, and Butchering.

The Apothecary crafting ability enables players to create potions, lotions, and powders which can either heal, enhance stats, or cause damage to others. Talisman Making on the other hand will allow players to create magical items which players can wear.

As for the four support skills, here's a quick run down of each one as taken from EA Mythic's press release:
  • Players can train themselves in Cultivating, and plant seeds and spores in order to harvest weeds and fungi, components frequently used in Apothecary creations.
  • Magical Salvaging lets players break down magical items, converting them into fragments and essences that can be used in the crafting of Talismans.
  • Scavenging and Butchering are used to collect unseen resources off of the corpses of slain creatures – Scavenging allows players to recover hidden items from more intelligent creatures,

Age of Conan Comparison - Image 1 Age of Conan Comparison - Image 2 


We've been hearing a lot of good things about the PC version of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (The Xbox 360 version is in development). However, it looks like the players have been up-in-arms about a recent reduction in the bust sizes (as seen in the screenshots above, courtesy of AoC player Dusk) on all the female models in the game.

Funcom has responded to this saying that the change was accidentally made in an earlier patch where data regarding the morph values were tweaked. Thankfully, the developers from Funcom hard at work on a fix for this.

So no matter what you call it - breasts, badonkadonks, jubblies, puppies, bonkers... (yes, I can go on and on) - rest easy knowing that the Funcom is on the job and should be getting things back to normal soon.
