‘Vikings’ Actor Travis Fimmel Game for Legendary’s ‘Warcraft’ (EXCLUSIVE)

After a lengthy search, Legendary Entertainment has found its leading man for the upcoming adaptation of “Warcraft,” tapping Travis Fimmel to star.
No formal offer has been presented yet but sources say he is their guy for one of the four leads in the film.
Fimmel is the star of History Channel’s “Vikings,” which is currently in production on season two.
Duncan Jones (“Source Code”) will direct the “Worldcraft” feature from a script by Charles Leavitt. Paula Patton is in talks to co-star and Colin Farell also has an offer but his deal is not as far along.
Details on the plot or the character Fimmel will play are still unknown. Based on Runescape Gold the Blizzard Entertainment game “World of Warcraft,” studios have been trying for some time to get this adaptation off the ground with Sam Raimi at one point attached to direct.
Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing the pic alongside Charles Roven through his Atlas Entertainment and Alex Gartner.
Production is slated for production in early 2014.
Fimmel is repped by Paradigm and Management 360.

Diablo 3 adding transmogrification and enchanting

The upcoming Reaper of Souls expansion will add a new artisan, known as The Mystic, who is capable of transmogrification and enchanting. Enchanting is similar to WoW’s reforging in that it will allow you to reroll a single item property. The Mystic progresses from level 1 to 10 like the Blacksmith and Jeweler.
Enchanting
    Most item properties can be rerolled, but some can’t (no details yet).
    You can reroll that one property as many times as you want, but once you choose one you can only reroll that property.
    Before you replace a property, you can see the possible Runescape Gold replacements. One of these will be randomly chosen once you complete the enchant.
    If you don’t like your rerolled property, you will have the option of reverting it to the item’s original property.
    Enchanting costs crafting materials and gold.
    Enchanting an item makes it bound to your account and it can no longer be traded to other players.
Transmogrification
    All items will be eligible for transmogrification, including legendaries and set items.
    Once an item appearance is discovered, it is available to all characters on your account.
    Common, magic, and rare item appearances are unlocked as your level The Mystic.
    Legendary and set item appearances are unlocked when you identify them.
    You do not need to keep items in your inventory for their appearance to be used, and once they are unlocked you are safe to get rid of the item.
    Transmogrification costs gold.
    For weapons, you can only transmogrify items of the same animation set, e.g. two-handed swords to two-handed swords.
    Transmogrifying an item binds it to your account.
    Transmogrified items can be dyed.
I really hope they implement a similar system for WoW’s transmogrification. Unlocking an appearance, as I suggested in a previous post, would solve a lot of inventory issues some of us collectors are having. Head on over to the Diablo 3 site to see the full preview of The Mystic.

Diablo 3 patch caused a loss

Blizzard have announced that they have just closed down the Diablo 3 Auction House due to a game breaking exploit that appeared following the 1.08 patch. The patch went live on Tuesday but it took eagle eyed players only a few hours to discover an exploit, one so bad that is has almost totally destroyed the in-game economy.
According to an official post on Battle-net many players have earned billions of gold with one individual managing to collect over 300 trillion gold. The exploit was first discovered on Twitch as an individual streamed the exploit and gave thousands the tools they needed to totally destroy the economy. Yet another hole in the sinking ship that is Diablo 3.
Blizzard revealed that a Diablo III exploit all but destroyed the economy after the latest patch. It gave players the opportunity to earn millions of gold and basically exploit the economy to make tons of real cash. The unique auction house in Diablo III allows players to sell in-game items for cash and other items, meaning the players that abused the exploit could easily turn a huge profit from doing so.
Blizzard have announced that Runescape Gold all of the proceeds and revenue from the exploit, that has now been fixed, will be donated to charity; instead of the highly feared rollback of servers. 415 players were found to be exploiting and all will be removed before the donations are made.

Diablo III : The PS4 version will be released in 2014

Diablo III’s development team is standing by with open ears. According to the Diablo blog, the development team is offering a behind-the-scenes look at the design of the game’s Legendary class items, by tapping into the knowledge of the Diablo community for help in crafting and perfecting an item it plans to implement into the game.
 
The “Design a Legendary” project, will guide participants through ”all the different design stages behind bringing a single Legendary item to life, from concept to creation to iteration, all the way through animation and implementation.” It will take design feedback from players to help guide the development of the weapon, shield or armor.
Blizzard community manager Stephanie “Lylirra” Johnson went on to state, “that they will be holding global community votes, hosting podcasts, soliciting ideas, and even running a contest or two to ensure that this is truly a worldwide, player-driven initiative.”
Not only will you have a part of creating an item of the game Runescape Gold but you will walk away with a better understanding of everything that goes into designing, thus enhancing your experience with the game.
Diablo III has already released for PC, Xbox 360 and  PS3.  The PS4 version will be released in 2014

Diablo 3:Reaper of Souls to PS4

 Blizzard is now confirming the existence of Reaper of Souls for PS4, and a playable version of the game will be found at Blizzcon this November. The expansion raises level caps, adds a new act and creates one new character class, the Paladin-like Crusader.
 
By the time Reaper of Souls is released some time in 2014 (I’d guess spring), Diablo 3 will have been out for quite a while on PC, and at least a fairly decent amount of time on consoles. With that in mind, if the expansion (on PC) is priced $30 the way Blizzard is implying, I have to imagine they’d come up with some sort of package where both the original game and the expansion could be purchased for $60 total. That would be a somewhat steep discount on the original, but by the time Reaper of Souls Runescape Gold was released, I think it would be both an appropriate price and a good value given how much content players would be getting. Though I feel like I’m one of the only folks still evangelizing about how fun this console port is, so perhaps the game might seem like old news at that point to some.
Reaper of Souls is one of my most anticipated games of 2014, even if it’s just a lowly expansion, and it’s even better news that it’s on the PS4.

Instructions on Creating a Guild in “MapleStory”

MapleStory is a side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 2003. Players get to travel through ‘Maple World,’ defeat monsters, and develop their skills. What makes MapleStory different from a standard RPG game is the ability to chat, trade, and form collaborative guilds. To create a guild in Maplestory, follow the steps listed.
        1
        Complete quests and defeat monsters to gain experience and level up. You cannot create a guild until you are at least level 10, so in the meantime you should explore ‘Maple World,’ build experience, make friends, and save up as many mesos as possible.
        2
 
        Create a party. Once you’ve reached level 10, you’ll need to recruit 5 other people into a party of 6. Then you’ll need to designate a time for all of you to meet up beside Heracle in Orbis, because a guild cannot be created unless all party members are present.
        3
  Speak to Heracle and pay the 1,500,000 mesos guild registration Runescape Gold fee. By now, you should have saved up quite a bit of mesos. However, if you don’t have enough, then don’t be afraid to ask your party members to chip in.
        4
        Expand your guild by up to 24 more players by inviting your friends to join. You can do this by placing your cursor over your friend, right clicking and hitting guild invite; by clicking the ‘invite’ button on the guild menu and typing in your friend’s ID; or by typing ‘/inviteguild FRIEND-ID’ into the text box.
