Eh, at least that's my excuse for why I haven't posted anything in.. uhm 3 weeks?! Yikes. Tera + Finals + Diablo 3 = ~20 minutes. That is, the approximate amount of time I've had each day where I wasn't occupied by at least one of those three things. That being said I have a ton of info, pics, videos, tips, complaints, etc that I need to get down and post about Tera. I'm probably going to wait for the results of the upcoming Vanarch Elections and see how that all plays out before I do my initial review. I'm hoping the elections will help stimulate some more end game content through GvG wars and just world PvP in general. We'll see soon enough.
I also spent the past week specing and assembling a new gaming rig for my girlfriend and I've got to say I'm very jealous. I'm hoping to add a lot to the DIY computer tab, now that I have more pictures it will definitely be a better resource for anyone and everyone who's interested. I was pretty excited to get to experiment with the speed of an SSD for the first time, and so far it's really impressed me.

Giveaways Galore
Just thought I would share some of the worthwhile giveaways that are going on right now. Beta keys, awesome hardware, you name it. Everything is being handed out these days, now if they would just hand them out to me... yeah, that'd be great.
Diablo 3 fan sites like diablofans.com have spare beta keys that they can't wait to give away to fans like you and me. Here you can check out this week's current contest and enter for a chance at your very own key to the beta. So if you haven't already, give it your best shot and be sure to participate in the upcoming contests over the next few weeks as well.
The fine people over at Perfect World Entertainment are almost always holding some type of in-game event or giveaway, but this one in particular is one you can't miss out on. You only need to have one character reach level 5 or higher between now and October 30th and you're entered to win yourself the ultimate 3D prize package (video card, 3D glasses and monitor). If you already have a character level 5 or higher, all you have to do is log in to be entered.
Good luck!

Diablo 3 News
Blizzard Entertainment has just announced that they will be implementing an auction house in Diablo 3 that will allow players to buy and sell in-game items for real money. It seems to be the fix that they've come up with to deter the infamous gold-farmers by giving everyone the chance to do it while giving themselves the ability to mediate the entire process. But don't think Blizz isn't taking their own cut now... that would just be bad business (especially now that they've made such a seemingly drastic attempt to eliminate the middle man)!
- "A nominal fixed transaction fee will be deducted from the seller for each item listed in the auction house. This fee consists of a fixed charge to list the item, which is assessed whether or not the item is successfully sold, and an additional fixed charge that is assessed only if the item is sold. Because the listing portion of the fee is charged even if the item doesn’t sell, it will be in the seller’s interest to list items he or she believes other players will be interested in, and to do so at a competitive price. Specific details related to the transaction fee for the currency-based auction house will vary by region and will be announced at a later date."
Can we buy gold from the currency-based auction house?
- "Players will be able to buy and sell gold through the currency-based auction house at whatever the current market price is, as established by the player community."
This ground-breaking feature brings a number of questions and concerns to mind. How will this affect the balance of the game?? Particularly PvP, where players who may spend boat loads of cash gearing their character will be matched up against someone who hasn't spent a dime. It will be interesting to see how Blizzard implements a solution to this and I look forward to not being disappointed. A less troubling question though, is what side will you be on? I know being the needy college student that I am, that I will be on the selling side of this new feature. I imagine most people will do a little of both, trying to balance the checkbook with each transaction. "Oh cool! An epic robe just dropped and I'm a Barbarian so I can't use it. Now I'll have money to buy the equivalent in plate gear!" Something along those lines at least ;) .
