Ok Mages. Are you sitting down? We finally got our nerf. We sort of knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it suck any less. We got a few buffs, too, but the one major nerf was a whopper. It won’t affect everyone, just Mages like me who had fallen in love with the [...]

She basically runs through the history of the case and why Blizzard is against what Glider is doing, and why going through the courts was the only route left to them. She says that Warden (though [...]

An interesting question was posed over on Less QQ, More PewPew: When would you become a ninja? It made for a pretty good read, the author lays out a few situations that might warrant an act of ninjery* that really made me think about the whole thing. Would I ninja in those situations?
