Oh, I don't think so. I still prefer vanilla Minecraft to any of the mods. There are a lot of good ones, but I like to keep it simple.

I wish there was a way to run a server and turn off certain things. I want the new cart mechanics, biome updates, and such for example, but I don't want XP, alchemy or enchanting. I basically want an updated version of how it was before it went actual release.
Couldn't you just ignore the alchemy and enchanting? There is nothing forcing you to use either. Same for the experience, yeah -- you'll get it, but just ignore it. *shrug*

That sucks about Banks, great author

First of all, condolences to him and his family. But secondly... damn, Damn, DAMN! No more Culture novels! *sigh* By far, my favorite fictional universe and the fictional place I would most like to live in. Just damn.

Roughly 53k to go with 6 hours left, I guess they'll make it.

What I remember most about Ebert's reviews is they weren't a good barometer of how much I would like a movie. Sometimes he loved movies I liked, sometimes he hated movies I liked. And not in a pattern that I was able to discern. I don't think he was a hack. He was paid for his opinions, and he gave them. You don't agree with his opinions? That's fine, everyone is entitled to their own.

Based on their web-site they seem to be up to 23 people now. Which seems like far too many for the space I saw in video of their "new" office a while back. Wonder if they moved again or what...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, even as a cycling fan (I've been watching/paying attention to the TdF since 1985) I find it surprising anyone actually plays this game. Too much time on their hands, I guess.

It just... wasn't A-list level. Which is understandable, because the A-list devs are on Titan supposedly.
You are tripping. A-list devs left Blizzard many, many years ago. The scum that was bred on WoW is whats left.
A change in personnel doesn't necessary mean Titan won't be good. But I certainly agree Titan should be examined with a critical eye. I definitely won't be making any assumptions about it being good without seeing evidence of it.

Agreed, D3 was much more of a fail than SC2. SC2 was probably what most people wanted, which was really SC1.5 -- and that's what they got. SC2 wasn't terrible, I did buy it. But it just didn't manage to grab me like the original did. Plus, despite playing WoW for 6 years, I find myself in the "I want my single player games to be offline" crowd. It was "okay", a minor stumble. D3 however was a clear fail, even prior to launch. I didn't even consider buying it.

The guild dying is a big thing to get past. It is a very social game and I played it mostly with the same people for the last 3 years. Playing again and having to build up a new group is something I don't think I could muster the effort for. Plus, none of my RL friends are playing it any longer.

I look forward to finding out what Titan is. I feel Blizzard is on a bit of a tumble currently with SC2 and D3. So, I'll be cautious whatever Titan is, but I want it to be great.

Summarizing, in order of importance my reasons for quitting:

Guild died
Skill tree dumb down
Tired of game after 6 years
$$ spent on subscriptions and transfers
Silly pandas

No such thing as bad press. Someone reopening this would get more attention than they would opening a game studio we never heard of before.

I listed it as a contributing factor, not the main cause. And I said the skill changes were the bigger reason. At some level you're right, cartoons are cartoons. But everything has it limits and the pandas seemed to cross the line. Remember, they actually did them as an April's Fools joke prior to this....
