New Age of Conan Crafting Video

So finally, a game takes a page out of Ultima Onlines book and implements player cities. This, in my opinion, has always been a great idea and adds another aspect to the game making you feel more attached to the world. Rather than just roaming around cities like homeless person, you have a place to keep your stuff and meet with friends. I would like it if they actually would allow people to have their own individual houses, but developing a guild city seems to be pretty impressive in its own right. Take a look.

Blizzard gains control of Diablo3.com


So it has been almost 8 years since Diablo 2 has been released and 11 years since the series was first released with great success. The Diablo series still holds strong to this day, obviously being overshadowed by blizzard's World of Warcraft, nonetheless, the fan base is strong. The series as a whole has sold 11 million copies, making it very difficult to believe that blizzard would not continue the franchise. They claim that gaining ownership over Diablo3.com does not mean that they have or are even considering the fact of Diablo 3. Obviously they would say this because gaining control of this site will cause a big stir in the diablo community keeping fan boys hopeful without actually giving any promise. World of Warcraft, although still going strong, seems to be slowly but surely reaching its pinnacle with the expansions giving wowers even more twists and turns to look forward to. With all the hype going around about Starcraft 2, blizzard has completely cemented itself a cherished spot in the gaming world.

Right now the site links to www.diablofans.com.
Check it out, it explains all about whats going on with the site and how blizzard went about gaining control of it.
Thats all for today, stay tuned!
