The thing I’m looking forwards to in WAR isn’t going to be the PvE, but how it’s almost going to force us into PvP. The areas, apparently, as they get higher tier, become harder and harder to bypass without getting into a fight. It’s in cases like these that I hope there’s some kind of alert or warning that you’re about to step into a bloodbath (something other than seeing said tournament of death ahead of you). I could see many a situation where a player (such as our good Knight of the Blazing Starr here) innocently waltzes into a PvP zone, gets flagged, then… well it’s just not pretty. It is good though, that the low tier areas have fewer of these zones, and indeed you could bypass the whole area while avoiding the fighting. It certainly lets new players acclimatise to the game, rather than leave the game after a bad experience like our poor knight just had.

In other news, over the weekend I got interviewed by the great folks over at WAR-Insider! Quite an exciting experience, and I’m honoured they were interested enough to talk to me. If you feel like listening to what I had to say, go on over and check it out. The site is in German, but my answers are in English.

And finally, if you haven’t seen elsewhere, there’s a new WAR webcomic up! Go visit WarhammerChen when you get a chance. I just can’t stop staring at that orc. So… cool… O_o 

Hey folks, next comic up either later today or tomorrow.

Bandwidth? More like badwidth. Hah! Terrible pun, but it outlines exactly how I didn’t at all imagine the huge amount of people who’d be coming through the site. Thanks everyone for your massive support! Anyways, since I’ve actually run out of bandwidth last month and it looks like it’s gonna happen again, I’ve changed all the images to .jpg. I do love .png, but they’re twice the size! And I’m still on a college budget, so getting the higher range server isn’t really an option.

Ahah! Finally A Touch of Tentacle is up and running. And no, this isn’t a hentai site, just in case you were wondering. I know you were! >_>

After many troubles, the banner is finally up, the pics working, and all I really have to figure out is how to work the CSS stylesheet to change those dastardly links over on the right, and maybe get the links bar picturefied!

I’d like to shout out to ComicPress, that allowed me to do this so easily. And also to Rory from Secret Lives of Mobs who provided me with a heap of help and links and whatnot. And to Elwood from War-RvR, who helped get this hosted. And to F01km3t4l for all his encouragement!
