Flux

Flux, we usually talk about World of Warcraft.

We update three or so times a week.  Sometimes that is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

I know we are supposed to update weekly, but working on something new.  More to come if I don’t roll a one.

As many of you know the newest MMO out is Age of Conan.  If Funcom can keep up with the voracious appetites of it’s subscribers it might make for some competition to World of Warcraft.  And with Warhammer Online out soon as well, things may get bloody.

You may see articles about these other games here under different categories.  If my need to talk about these other games becomes a condition, I’ll separate the articles for each game.  Flux was to be about more than one game.  However the World of Warcraft, the king of MMOs, is dwarfing everything else at the moment.

Most people don’t have the time or the money to play more than one MMO simultaneously.  So this year might be very interesting for players to decide what they want to do.  Perhaps people will play one until they are bored, moonlight in another, and then come back when an expansion comes out.

Whatever happens, the new blood will make for some interesting choices.

Updated Wordpress to 2.5.1

Rearranged and added a forum for those playing Age of Conan.

As you may have noticed not much was publish for almost two whole weeks.  A combination of travel, a family wedding, and others far less interesting events nibbled away at time until crumbs were left.  However things are closer to normal this week.

I am trying an experiment, an article in two or three parts on targeting.  In the past I have held off publishing a long topic until it was a complete candy shell surrounding the entire nugget of knowledge.  This meant that there were sometimes long pauses before these more time consuming delicacies posted.  We have had repeating topics such as ‘hidden bosses’.  And we have posted in updates like the still unfinished unit frame review.  So in keeping with ‘write early and often’ I am going to give this a try for other longer articles.

I’ll update the original article from yesterday with new sections as they are written and post about it.  This way future readers will still get their shell covered nuggest and I can avoid managing several cross linked articles in a series.  This is mostly because I am lazy.

Fixed some minor menu trouble due to the Wordpress 2.5 upgrade.

Say hello to my square little 80’s friends, gravatars. Comments will now display them if you have one.
