Quote fromThey did say the PTR would be up first.. makes sense. So maybe they'll have information on the PTR?
That's what I'm thinking it might be. Either that, or they finally had a breakthrough with the increased stash and just have to share the news with all of us (and then proceed to say that the patch will be released "soon").
Blizzard time > Valve time, y/y?

I'm with the others, though. Try drinking more water (or tea, in your case), and make sure you get plenty of rest. Also, if you do feel like you're going to pass out again, try to lower yourself to the floor before you faint; you'll avoid (nearly) cracking your head open on the corner of the tub or a cabinet.

Actually, you can be on the evil side. Once you get a character to level 10, you unlock something called Monster Play, which allows you to create an evil character, such as an Orc, Uruk-Hai, or Warg. You'll be able to participate in PvMP (Player vs. Monster Player) in a place called the Ettenmoors, so people who don't want to participate don't have to.
Each class is about the same as far as in-game currency goes. Certain crafting classes may require a bit more in terms of cost, but they're all about even in the end.
I bought my copy at GameStop for about $20, but I'm pretty sure you can buy it online. I know there is a free trial available somewhere, so you may want to check out the game's website if you're interested in that.
I'm on the Nimrodel server, but I do have a couple of characters on Gladden (I recently restarted on Nimrodel because it's slightly more populated). If you pick up the game, though, I'll give you more specific information.
If you have any other questions, go ahead and send me a PM. I don't want to keep this off-topic for too long.

LotRO isn't a bad game, actually. There are four races to choose from (Man, Elf, Dwarf, and Hobbit, with male/female for each one except the Dwarf), along with several different classes depending on your race (only Man can be a Captain, for example). You can participate in certain parts of the books through instanced quests, and visit places like the Shire and Bree (and the world is gorgeous, too; sometimes it's fun to just walk around and look at the scenery).
Unfortunately, most of the rest of the world is locked off for now. The Mines of Moria expansion that came out earlier this month added Moria and Lothlorien to the map, as well as adding two new classes to play. I've read somewhere that new parts of the world will be added with each new expansion, so eventually you'll be able to travel to places like Gondor, Rohan, and Mordor.
I know I'm rambling, but the really neat thing about the game in character creation. While there aren't a whole lot of options to choose from, you're given the chance to have a bit more customization based on your hertiage; for example, if you choose to be a Man from Rohan, you'll have light-colored hair and fair-colored skin choices, while a Man from Gondor will likely have tanned skin and dark hair. It's a pretty cool feature, and lets you immerse yourself in the game a bit more.
The only problem I've had so far is that the community is pretty quiet. Though I've never played it, I like to think that the LotRO community is, for the most part, a bit more mature than World of Warcraft's. Most people are pretty helpful though, especially toward new players, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about if you decide to try it out.
The monthly fee is right around $15 per month, and the game is constantly being updated. I think it's well worth the price.

I can't say I'm too impressed with this season. I really enjoyed the first season, and second was forgiven because of the strike, but I'm just not digging it this time around. It feels stale and recycled; same crap, different year.
Then again, I might be content if I didn't have to hear Peter whine all the time, or see Claire try to be a badass.

I have always wanted to participate in a war, though. I didn't dare try the last time I played, since PvE was hard enough with my lame internet service.

I never actually did any PvP in KO, either. I still had dial-up at the time (yeah, that was totally fun), so I stayed pure PvE. Now that I'm on broadband, I may give the game another try, assuming I ever get tired of my other games and/or find the time to do so.

When I first saw this topic, I immediately thought of Cao Ren from the Dynasty Warriors series. He wields a shield that has a short, double-bladed sword attached to it (that can be removed if need-be). He doesn't dual-wield, but I can see the potential for maybe doing so, especially if the shields were light enough in weight.

Pink would be fantastic, or even a nice pastel yellow or baby blue.

Now I just have to hope that Blizzard starts making Tyrael plushies so that I can have one for myself.

I quit Diablo II a month or so ago. I played for years, but now I don't really have anyone to play with, so it got old very quickly.

As for the original topic, I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of the original Diablo. I'd love to see an updated Butcher's lair or the Chamber of Bone; hell, imagine going through the Halls of the Blind with today's graphics.
I've been playing some other game remakes (like Final Fantasy IV on the DS), and even with just a graphics update the game seems very fresh; like the first time I ever played it.
