If you have time to log on before the event
and make some pocket money, learn cooking and bake
some bread, please do. But we'll have extra cash
and bread for those who don't. Of course, you'll
only be able to complete The Grateful Dead quest
outside of Silvermoon if you are a Blood Elf, but
we will travel to other graveyards for other
races, time permitting. Or you could just make a
baby Blood Elf for this event only -- for those of
you not dead set against it. (See what I did
there?) Today's Queue will focus on the
multitude of questions we've received about Chill
of the Throne, or more snarkingly called, Icecrown
Radiance. Read on for questions and answers, and a
tale of Little Jimmy using his obesity to mitigate
the damage caused by his brother. We're not
sure what happens from here -- an official from
the country's Ministry of Culture has also said
that the suspension of the review is "not
appropriate," especially since the content under
review had already been approved while the game
was being run by The9, which may mean that it will
be overturned just as quickly as it went down (and
the game will be back in business before long). On
the other hand, Netease may have jumped the gun --
they've been collecting subscriptions for a while,
which they apparently weren't supposed to do
without official GAPP approval (and we've heard
before that GAPP might just want to delay the
release of foreign games as long as possible).
We'll keep an eye on the issue -- most analysts
are saying that despite the threats, this is just
another roadbump for NetEase, and they should
still be back to collecting payments for the game
soon. | |
