Random Thoughts Monday

It's a bad omen for the week when your key gets stuck in the front door of your work and you have to call a locksmith to get it out. Or is it?

With 12 careers per army/faction, will 10 character slots per server be enough? Why not 12? Whyyyyyy?

How is Mythic encouraging races to cross over into other race/tier zones in order to promote conflict? For example, how are they encouraging dwarfs to go over to the empire newbie zones, how are they getting dwarfs to cross over into the greenskins' areas, etc.?

I'm mulling over attending August's Gen Con in Indy this year. Two birds, one trip: my family lives in Indy, and I'd get to see Warhammer (if I'm not already in beta at that point). Maybe I'd buy a fancy hat with a feather and put a big "PRESS" card on the side. Maybe we could start a new office pool to see how many WAR devs I can hug.

I'm kind of blown away that Mythic is already working (at least in the planning stages) of WAR's first expansion pack. I don't know how most pre-launch MMOs function, but this shows a lot of confidence on the part of Mythic and EA.

Since only about 16 of the classes were available for play at Games Day, what's going on with the other 8? Retooling? And why the big hush-hush over the Black Guard.

Snafzg made an excellent point in the podcast -- Mythic really does need to be promoting a lot more of the Order side of things and working hard on giving them as cool of a feel as the Destruction races.

It is very, very possible that today might see WAAAAGH!'s biggest day yet, in terms of visitors to the blog. It's not so much ego (if you can believe that) as it is that I'm a total stat monkey. I love stats and charts and crap like that. Update: Yahoo! WAAAGH! looks to be topping 5,000 visitors for today, which is a number I would have seriously laughed at if you told me it would happen back in March (ah, for those 23-people-per-day views). Thanks for visiting and supporting this silly blog.
