Censorship is fun!
Hey guys, heres a new Third Faction comic for your brain organs to digest. I figured it was about time to address this whole “censorship” in gaming issue by illustrating it in a humorous, comical, manner. Whether or not its humorous or comical is up for debate; but the issue itself is addressed. Enjoy! TTF - Manhunt 2 -MaTT

IgroMir 2009: Cataclysm panel recaps
Filed under: News items, Expansions, Interviews, Cataclysm
I touched on Blizzard’s presence at IgroMir 2009, sort of the Russian E3, a bit previously, specifically about J. Allen Brack’s panel regarding guild progression and leveling in Cataclysm. Of course, I had to Google-translate the panel from Russian (nyet, I do not know Russian, comrades), and not everything Blizzard-related from the whole convention was in the recaps I read.
Thankfully, Blizzard themselves have released their own recaps of the Cataclysm panel. In his talk, Brack discussed rated battlegrounds, Tol Barad (briefly), and guild progression. It turns out that I was pretty thorough in the guild leveling post, but here’s the stuff I didn’t cover:
- Rated Battlegrounds will be an alternative way to gain Arena points for those who prefer large-scale PVP.
- Your personal rating gain for a win will vary depending on the specific Battleground.
- There’ll be featured Battlegrounds each week with bonus rating gain for wins.
- You will not lose points or rating for a Battleground loss.
- Arena points can be used to purchase pets, mounts, vanity items, and perhaps best of all, the old honor system PVP titles like Grand Marshal.
- Tol Barad will provide bonus daily quests and instances for the faction that wins the battle for the zone, somewhat like, as Brack put it, a cross between the Isle of Quel’Danas and Lake Wintergrasp.
You can check out our previous IgroMir post here, or read Blizzard’s official recap on their IgroMir site.

Tom Chilton talks about the in-game pet store
Filed under: Items, Blizzard, Making money, Interviews
The guys over at The Instance podcast got a chance to talk to Blizzard’s Tom Chilton about the recent decision to sell in-game noncombat pets for real money, and the interview is now up in the latest episode on their site. He talks first about the pets’ development, and it sounds like they designed the pets thinking they’d be sold on a real-money store eventually. He says the price point was “arrived at by trying to figure out what it would have to be to make sense for us to spend time working on it.” And he mentions the TCG and their loot prizes — he says those were meant to be a bonus, and they ended up being a roundabout way for players to buy pets anyway, so Blizzard decided to go with this more direct plan.
He doesn’t say much about the future, but he does say that Blizzard is planning on doing some “pet and plushie” deals, where you’ll be able to buy a plushie from the Blizzard store, and get an in-game pet with it. For the game specifically, he mentions the guild transfer service that’s coming (we heard about that back at BlizzCon — you’ll be able to server transfer an entire guild rather than do it account-by-account), but otherwise he tells players that the pet store is just a “side project” — right now, it’s not taking away from development at all, and if it does grow, Chilton says Blizzard would hire more people rather than using current developers. We’ll have to see what happens in the future.
