I think I'll wait until it nears bargain bin pricing in a couple of years... I have too many other games that I'm trying to finish or want to play :)

Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny I and II
Final Fantasy X

I got it, but sadly my crap pc cant run it and my vid card at same time. Oh well I corrected that problem, new Motherboard, 1.3ghz processor, 256 mb ram and a new case to house it all is on the way. Better be worth it, cuz theoretically I just spent $300 to play Warcraft 3!

Two things from today's Gamespy newsletter:

Warcraft 3 Map Hack - Dutch
A certain Warcraft III map hack that surfaced several days ago will be countered by a patch Blizzard is currently working on. Blizzard is furious and is dedicated to keep with their aggressive stance against hacking or cheating of any kind:"[we] will ban the CD key of anyone caught using this hack in Warcraft III. Furthermore, we will continue to randomly monitor games connected through Battle.net to ensure fair play.

The developer asks Warcraft III players to save their replay if they suspect someone has cheated when playing against them. If you have played a game against someone you suspect of having cheated, you can file a complaint at hacks@blizzard.com (be sure to attach your saved replay file). Also, they kindly ask you to notify that address f you have any information on persons or Web sites found to be distributing any type of hack or cheat program affecting any Blizzard game.

Blizzard sincerely appeals "to anyone considering using a map hack program, [we] take no pleasure in banning the CD keys and preventing play over Battle.net of people who have legitimately purchased a copy of one or more of our games." Read the entire communique here, before hopping over to PlanetWarcraft for more news on this issue as it becomes available.
And

Blizzard Needs Game Masters - hardcore_pawn
This little nugget just in from Blizzard's Mr. Fraizer regarding new Game Master roles for the upcoming MMO title, World of Warcraft:



"Blizzard Entertainment is looking for experienced Game Masters to work with our upcoming game World of Warcraft. Game Masters will be responsible for in-game customer support, helping manage our online community, and assisting with the creation of content during the development of the game. The ideal candidate has prior experience as a full-time Game Master for a MMORPG, is very organized, and has excellent communication and customer service skills."

Just felt like throwing that out...

Look for me on USEast: "Chaos-Turtle" (of course) or under the clan-name (better chance these days) "Robiza[GitA]." We can do some Arranged Team or (if U brave ;)) go head to head.
