Well, I got access to the Diablo III Beta tonight, so I plan on posting some screenshots and thoughts here. I’m also going to be messing around with the theme and plugins a bit, so bear with me. Hopefully the changes are for the better.

This is now the web home for Corvus guild (WoW-US-Lightning’s Blade, and Rift-US-Estrael. Be sure to check out the forums

Stardock, makers of Sins of a Solar Empire, announced a (PC) Gamers Bill of Rights at PAX this weekend. I find it interesting that a game developer would publish something like this, but hopefully it’ll take hold, since it is a developer and not just some random gamer.

* Gamers shall have the right to return games that don’t work with their computers for a full refund.
* Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.
* Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game’s release.
* Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game.
* Gamers shall have the right to expect that the minimum requirements for a game will mean that the game will play adequately on that computer.
* Gamers shall have the right to expect that games won’t install hidden drivers or other potentially harmful software without their consent.
* Gamers shall have the right to re-download the latest versions of the games they own at any time.
* Gamers shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or publishers.
* Gamers shall have the right to demand that a single-player game not force them to be connected to the Internet every time they wish to play.
* Gamers shall have the right that games which are installed to the hard drive shall not require a CD/DVD to remain in the drive to play.

Brad Wardell, president and CEO of Stardock Corporation, said

“As an industry, we need to begin setting some basic, common sense standards that reward PC gamers for purchasing our games. The console market effectively already has something like this in that its games have to go through the platform maker such as Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony. But on the PC, publishers can release games that are scarcely completed, poorly supported, and full of intrusive copy protection and then be stuck on it.”

Chris Taylor, CEO and founder of Gas Powered Games (Dungeon Seige, Supreme Commander) stated,

“This is an awesome framework for the industry to aspire to, and ultimately so that we can provide our customers with the gaming experience that they have wanted for years, and really deserve.”

We couldn’t agree more

Well, we’re just getting started here. Not even sure if we’re going to use this blogging software or not, just throwing around ideas
