WoW Armory Demo Back Online
I re-enabled the wowarmory addon for drupal on Onovia. With all the updates to wowarmory.com, the addon continues to work just fine. I've added features and fixed bugs since the last commit. I'm still lost when it comes to cvs. If someone can help me out with that It would make my life so much easier.
You can access the demo by choosing Drupal wowarmory under Code at the top of the page.
What's your Global Agenda?
Global Agenda, an upcoming MMO slated for release February 1st, has posted some action packed screen shots for your viewing pleasure. Set in the distant future, an "Oppressive world government known as the Commonwealth aim to take over the planet." Playing as an agent of one of the few remaining independent factions, you can team up with up to 3 of your friends for co-op PvE missions, or there is a matchmaking system to deploy you into intense team-oriented objective based game play. The major features of the game are available for just a one time purchase fee, including character customization, all 50 character levels, up to 8 characters, all weapons and devices, and the ability to create your own agency. However, for a monthly fee, You're allowed to battle it out with other agencies on a massive persistent world map for control over territories and scarce resources for domination of the world. Additional end game co-op content as well as character customizations beyond the initial group, plus the ability to level up your agency and earn achievements, and who doesn't want to participate in base raid with up to 60 people separated into strike teams? Myself personally, am really looking forward to giving this game a try. I can't even count how many games I have purchased in the past that have only held my attention for a matter of days before placing them back into the CD-holder and never touching them again, but this game looks very promising, and being able to experience most of the content in a game with an OPTIONAL subscription fee, feels like a step in the right direction in my opinion. I imagine that I will inevitably give the subscription fee a shot, at least just to see the end game content once I have reached the end of the box content, just to see what it all looks like, as it sounds amazing, but most things do in writing. I don't feel that I will be disappointed in this game though, graphically it looks pretty astounding, and I've always been drawn to the RPG/FPS mesh. So, ladies and gentlemen, What's your Global Agenda?
Onovia moves to Linode VPS
Over this past weekend I've been working to move all hosting services onto our own virtual private server. You can probably notice at this point that the website loads quite quickly and without hesitation. This is due to the fact that we are now living on our own virtual machine, completely configured by us. Settings have been tweaked and altered to achieve the fastest performance. We are no longer at the mercy of shared hosting in which shared hosting can be unreliable. I will go ahead and state that we were hosted on Dreamhost. They were an excellent service provider and were completely responsive when issues did arise. I just thought that it was time to move onto bigger and better things!
