Return of Reckoning

What an amusing and bizarre bit of news. Amusing, because it seems that losing the monopoly of being the only WAR server is causing some self-reflection on the adverse impact of being petty, tyrannical assholes. Bizarre, because one of those responsible for the server's reputation (the others being ...

As a below-average player trying to play a Magus without embarrassing everyone in the vicinity, you're an inspiration. Good stuff, sir.

You're both probably correct about his level of experience with the game. I suppose it seemed more comprehensive to me because I was one of that large group of players who left very soon after the launch. It wasn't due to the removed content, though.

A moderately in-depth (17:29 length) examination of WAR. The fellow talks about development, launch and problems related to it, where the game succeeded and failed, and his opinion about the drastic and then agonizing decline.

I think that the "fixgit" addon allows for moving the pet portrait, but I'm not certain about that claim.

The problem doesn't seem to be a client error; rather it's the launcher that isn't receiving any response from the servers. It seems to affect only a small number of players so it's probably not a high ...

Connecting via OpenVPN (VPNbook US client) the launcher still shows the red+yellow server status. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

The launcher is still convinced that the servers are offline for me. I see that it creates 3 .dlls but is there a log for the launcher somewhere that I can check? Have any of the values in mythloginserviceconfig.xml changed? Specifically: <LoginServer serverName="ReturnOfReckoning01052015"> <Address ...
