But seriously, this is really awesome!!
Absolutely Adorable!! If/when I ever get beyond the chevron I would love to get to the level of accomplishing this charmer
i want to make these bracelets 4 my chorus!!!

So let me know about the links you mentioned,
(I so appreciate it )
This is great My friend makes friendship bracelets and I play piano so she spazed out when she found this. She has no idea how to make it though

Too cool!
is there any possibility that you could do a how-to video for this pattern?
it's really good and i cant figure it out
it's really good and i cant figure it out
What the length of the string?
If I remember correctly the white strings were about 1.20 meters long each(47 inches aprox.) and for the black string I've used the entire cord.
i love this. LOVE IT. You could make some money selling this stuff you know...
How many strings did you use?
It' so cool!!! I want like that

I want that! It's really really nice. : ))

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bigdogg Great feeder I was skeptical at first. What I realized was is that my dog is much smarter than I thought. I figured she would see it and accidentally knock it over that it would be easily off balanced. They seem very weighted. I'm very impressed. Her food just comes out a little at a time. She eats it and as she eats it just replenishes it. I thought I needed something where it had a timer for it would release the food at a certain time but I realize that there was enough food in there to last 6 days. I put the dry kibble in there I watched it and after 6 days it was just there. So my dog was smart enough to not just gobble it all down can't guarantee your dogs going to be that smart haha. She is a 12 year old Australian Shepherd refer to as a blue heeler and she is awesome. I recently adopted her from a 90 year old friend. She is about 55 -60 pounds and all gray hair except for her head which is black and tan. Well I just want to say thank you to Chewys because you guys did a great job on this. June 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by maravilla received promptly,product as described helped feed cat as expected...worry free when out of town May 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sasha13 Convenient Feeder This feeder is compact and neat and easy to fill. My only complaint is that it allows too much food to fill the bowl when the level is low. Luckily, my cat is a grazer and not a voracious eater, so he does not overeat. For cats that will eat whatever is put in front of them, this might not be a good option. January 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by KoKoMalli A Must Have! I have a Lab and a Westie that LOOOOVES this feeder. I purchased the large and the small one, It dispenses smoothly and without hassle. No spills, no leaks just right for the price. November 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandlu Good product! I have one cat and ordered the smaller size. Holds enough food for a very long time as she does not eat much. The food flows freely so no problem there. Fits fine on a mat on the floor. July 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LesYou One Flaw-It is hard to fill because the opening is small. The feeder is great after you get it filled, but it's opening is small and hard to get the food in without spilling it everywhere. January 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kygal Really please with this product. Set up easily and distributed food easily. The food is at comes down at an angle so my pet can "paw" his food down easily if he wants to. January 2, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sacmc Easy to Fill Great size for 2 Cats. Large and Easy to refill and clean. January 18, 2016

Would you conduct this experiment on your mother?
Jul 11th
I think the debate on the recent Facebook experiment on user emotions has been beaten into the ground but in a recent Harvard Business Review article titled Ethics for Technologists and Facebook, author Michael Schrage brings up an important and nuanced point worthy of discussion.
One of the reasons this episode is so important and concerning, he writes, is because the ethics of Internet research becomes a greater consideration as the cost of experimentation comes down:
What makes today—and tomorrow —so very, very different from even a decade or five years ago is how the cost and complexity of running serious 'large scale' human experiments have radically declined.
Marketing experiments that might have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in 1995 might cost a couple of hundred dollars in 2015; maybe less. Literally every individual and organization with a web presence has both the ability and opportunity to cost-effectively perform real-time experiments on people that would have been impossible in the 20th Century.
Every business can —and will—treat their digital media platforms as laboratories and R&D facilities.
More people—smart and dumb, honorable and sleazy, careful and sloppy—will be running more and more experiments for you, with you and on you; sometimes with your explicit knowledge and consent, more likely not. Most of the times people won't mind or won't care….but sometimes, they will. A lot.
I think this is a keen insight and I believe he's correct. If you thought the Facebook trial was creepy, hold onto your hat.
The "mother test"
The writer goes on to say that this is not necessarily a complex ethical issue. If you want to know if your experiment is appropiate, simply ask yourself if this is something you would do to your mother or another beloved family member.
In other words, an organization should not run any experiments on customers or clients that it would not run on the families, friends and colleagues of its managers, leaders and employees.
Schrage concludes his article with sage advice: "The ethics of innovative experiments are better and healthier when they're open and shared rather than concealed and departmentalized. Just as the war is too important to be left to the generals, human experimentation is too important to be left to the researchers and lawyers. If an experiment is good enough for your best customer, it's good enough for your best friend."
Good common sense for us all.

Secrets behind one of the world's greatest Facebook marketing successes
Apr 24th
Click here if you cannot see my video interview with Jesse Desjardins.
While many Facebook sites are suffering and trying to find a way maintain a little organic reach, Tourism Australia's presence is soaring.
It's not unusual for a single post to attract more than a million likes and several posts have received worldwide media coverage!
The mastermind behind this Facebook marketing success is Jesse Desjardins, a Canadian pulling the strings behind the site's content engine. In this short interview, Jesse reveals:
- His content strategy
- How he is leveraging the "world's largest social media team"
- How his team sorts through hundreds of content submissions each day
- How coming in with little social media experience was an advantage

The Sense and Spirituality of Facebook at 10
Feb 4th
Today is Facebook's tenth birthday.
What does it mean in our world?
In one decade, Facebook has become the largest media entity in history, touching a billion people.
It has transformed the way we love and fight … and how we discover new people to love and fight.
Facebook is beautiful and inspiring. It is aggravating and narcissistic. Either way, it is your own doing.
It has elevated the cat to an art form.
For many, It is re-defining our social sphere as we find goodness in some we mistrusted and ugliness in some we admired.
Facebook has altered the course of nations. It has been weaponized by bullies and those who seek to destroy our most fragile friends. A third of all divorce filings contain the word "Facebook."
For some, it is the most beloved company in the world, for some the most feared. I can argue either side.
Facebook is like a dragon on a skateboard, scorching competitors with its fiery and furious breath. A decade in the making, it is already a Fortune 500 titan, bigger than companies that have been sweating hard for a century or more.
Facebook is an amplifier of our shiny best selves, hyped reflections of the people we want to be. Which is a kind of authenticity, I suppose.
A three-sentence status update from a stranger brought a tear to my eye. It ignited compassion and led to a deep new friendship. There is something profound about that.
Facebook delivers daily kernels of joy. Except in an election year.
It allows us to be the star and producer of our own reality show. Facebook deeply understands the value of that.
Facebook determines our daily relational reality with mathematical formulas. Addictive human connection dictated by algorithms. Hotel Zuckerberg. You can check in but you can never leave.
Facebook generally works. And that is an insanely brilliant achievement.
The future?
To be successful, Facebook must continuously diminish the value of personal privacy while increasing the amount of time people spend with ads they despise. That is not an easy business plan.
And yet.
Our unquenchable thirst to connect existed long before Facebook. To millions of people, Facebook IS the Internet. It is a family for those whose world might be otherwise vast and dark.
Facebook is the collective breath of human hope, desire, spontaneous combustion, naked poetry, neurosis, birth, death, unimaginable grief, and explosive joy.
It is the EKG for the world's pulse.
That means something.

The Rationale Behind Soaring App Development Prices
During the last quarter of 2014, we were approached by a funded startup based in Boston to identify an app development company to build an app for their European launch. The skill sets were quite niche, and the yearly spend would cross $100K, so we had to approach platform evangelists to identify some development studios that they'd recommend based on first-hand experience.

Traditionally a banana ketchup is used in this recipe, but as you can imagine, it's not so easy to come by in my area, in fact I had never heard of banana ketchup until I made this Filipino Barbecue recipe. If you can find it, use it. The banana ketchup will lend a more authentic flavour to this recipe as well as tint the meat a reddish colour. (That makes it more yummy)
This recipe was really good. The sriracha added a little kick to the pork. If you have leftovers at all, throw it into a green pepper for a roasted pepper. Super yum. It was fun to have something kind of street food-ish to eat while hobnobbing with my friends. I definitely want to try more recipes like this. What food have you tried off the street with good results? Have you tried to replicate it? Leave a comment below and tell us about your street food experience.
With winter clinging on like an icy booger, you need food that will warm you up when you eat it. I love to cook food that does that for you. And this meal definitely does that. You don't want to use the yellow mustard like you would put on a kid's hotdog, it's too strong, instead use a mellow dijon mustard, or grainy mustard. That will give you the taste without the harshness, and a better colour. For a little kick, add spicy mustard instead.
What do you make to warm up in the winter? leave a comment below and tell us what you cook to keep warm on cold days.
I have never been big on soup. I feel like I don't get full enough when I have it. But this Goose Soup is just the best. I was full and happy after eating it, but didn't feel like I'd eaten a side of beef. I didn't need chocolate or dessert (they are NOT the same thing) after either. Goose soup is satisfying and warm. It's feel good soup that is a great way to make the most of your leftover goose. I mean a goose is expensive, and if you can get a flipping great meal, yay, but two or more? Now that's value!
With winter supposed to last another six weeks, how do you plan on riding the rest of this cold weather out? Leave a comment below and tell us how you plan to stay warm for these extra six weeks of winter.

In preparation for homecoming weekend, Amherst College sent resident counselors an advisory e-mail that included a warning to watch out for alumni. "Keep an eye out for unwanted sexual advances," the e-mail said, according to Newsweek. "A lot of alums come back for Homecoming pretty jaded with the bar scene and blind dating of the real world and are eager to take advantage of what they now perceive to be an 'easy' hook-up scene back at Amherst. Also, many alums tend to be pretty drunk all weekend long."
Critics said the message, which advises counselors to "alert your residents to this unfortunate combination," tasks women with avoiding assault rather than addressing the potential assailants. Amherst has faced scrutiny for its handling of sexual assault cases after a student described her experience in the campus newspaper, and has begun making policy and procedural changes on campus.
Note: The above paragraph has been updated to reflect the fact that Amherst is not under federal investigation.
Amherst President Biddy Martin said in a statement that the email appeared to have "originated from a document that was several years old," and the author was likely a student from 2007. "It includes unwarranted and crass characterizations of our alumni," Martin said. "I want to apologize.... Given the seriousness with which we take sexual assault, our commitment to changing how we address it, and the comprehensive strategies we are putting in place, these failures of judgment are most disappointing. We will take appropriate measures to address them."

Feminine and unique, this one-sleeve Mac Duggal 61043D Cocktail minidress has it all! A simple accent cinches at one side of the curve-skimming dress, and soft ruching radiates out from there. Delicate lace runs along its skirt and softens the style of its bodice, which is topped by a slanted neckline. The single sleeve sweeps down and flares out in a beguiling way.

NEW YORK — The Yankees talked frugality, then reverted to their high-spending ways.
New York capped an offseason spending spree by agreeing Wednesday to a $155 million, seven-year contract with prized Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.
After just the second season in 19 years that didn't include a playoff appearance, the Yankees flexed their economic might and committed $438 million to four free agents.
Tanaka joined catcher Brian McCann and outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran on a revamped roster missing longtime All-Stars Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Robinson Cano.

And in addition to the deal with the 25-year-old right-hander, the Yankees must pay a $20 million posting fee to Tanaka's Japanese club, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.
"Anybody that questioned our commitment to winning is going to have to question themselves," Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner said.
Big-league teams had until Friday to reach an agreement with Tanaka, who was 24-0 with a 1.27 earned-run average last year as the Golden Eagles won the Japan Series title. Arizona, the Chicago Cubs and White Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston all said they were among the failed bidders.
Tanaka's deal is the fifth-largest for a pitcher, trailing only the seven-year deals of the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw ($215 million), Detroit's Justin Verlander ($180 million), Seattle's Felix Hernandez ($175 million) and the Yankees' CC Sabathia ($161 million).
BOSTON — Outfielder Grady Sizemore, 31, agreed to a $750,000, one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox.
A three-time All-Star from Everett, Sizemore has played eight major- league seasons, all with Cleveland.
Sizemore was an AL All-Star in each of his last three full seasons (2006 through 2008) and hit .279 during that stretch. He has been hampered by injuries the last five years, missing the past two seasons after operations on his right knee and back.
Sizemore's base salary is guaranteed and he can make $4 million in performance bonuses and $1.25 million in roster bonuses.
• Left-hander Eric O'Flaherty and the Oakland Athletics agreed on a $7 million, two-year contract.
• The New York Mets agreed to a one-year contract with first baseman-outfielder Lucas Duda worth $1,637,500.
• The Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder Logan Forsythe, pitcher Brad Boxberger and three minor-leaguers from the San Diego Padres for pitchers Alex Torres and Jesse Hahn.

Herald View / / Opinion
A DECADE ago, in what remains one its finest hours, the Scottish Parliament passed landmark legislation giving rural communities the right to buy the land they worked.
The Land Reform Act allowed rural communities to register an interest in land and gave them first refusal to buy if and when it came up for sale.
It has been used across the Highlands and islands and, if the latest attempt succeeds, the most southerly tip of Scotland, the Mull of Galloway, will also move into community ownership.
Loading article content
The motivation behind land reform was to create a more equitable basis for ownership, sweep away the last vestiges of feudalism and end a system that kept hundreds of thousands of acres in the hands of absentee landlords.
Extending community right-to-buy legisation to Scotland's town and cities is an idea whose time has come.
Four years of recession and economic stagnation have left their mark on Scotland's urban spaces. High streets are blighted by boarded-up shops. Unused public buildings are falling derelict. Tracts of vacant land have become dense jungles of weeds. At the same time, shrinking budgets mean council services are being cut. The lean times are forecast to continue for many years to come. Communities will want – and might need – to band together to fill gaps.
Promoted stories
The Scottish Government's Community Empowerment Bill is designed to give people the opportunity to step in and improve life on their doorsteps and the moribund spaces nearby. The bill is expected to include an "urban right to buy", allowing communities to purchase land and buildings in a similar way to rural areas (though whether government money will be available remains to be seen). It also looks set to provide a "community right to grow", letting groups take over disused land while the owner waits to develop or sell it. How splendid it would be to see people growing their own spuds on land banks aggressively accumulated by supermarket giants.
The Government's simplified "easy read" consultation suggests there is broad support. An overwhelming 85% felt more land should be available for allotments and community gardens. Nearly three-quarters backed the right to buy, while two-thirds wanted the so-called right to grow.
There is opposition from business leaders, who believe such rights would discourage private investment, and public bodies which are concerned about transferring power and property to untried community groups. A balance will have to be struck.
But in Derek Mackay, the local government and planning minister, the Bill has a committed and able champion.He believes the Bill will become a new landmark for Holyrood, just like the original Land Reform Act, and could effect the biggest transfer of power since devolution. If it strengthens communities and helps transform Scotland's urban wastelands into the bargain, those claims will be justified.

The first day of the competition, Jarryd and I attended orientation where we would find out who our competitors were the preliminary rounds and Tori would take her Researcher's test.
Jarryd and I found out we would be going up against Team B, an Indian Team, as the Respondent for the first preliminary round. Then for the second preliminary round we would face Team Y, as the Applicant that afternoon.
On Friday, during the first round, we learned that the mooting styles of the Indian students were quite different than that of back home. The Indian students moot very fast in a rather rant type style and the judges interrupt with questions in a rather hostile manner. It was very interesting and different than our mooting style. The other team also took many documents with them to the podium and made several references to them, all while drawing the judges attention to each one. Although the judges appeared hostile in their questioning, when it was our turn to moot, they changed their position to adapt to our mooting style. The judges were very nice and friendly, and were very excited to have an American team in the competition.
The second preliminary round was quite similar in style to the first round. I found the second team to be very passionate and admired their aggressive attempts to sway the judges in their favor.
After both rounds, we were treated to a lovely Indian dinner on the terrace of the Government Law College were we awaited the results. With a lost in the first round and a win in the second round we ascended to the Octo-Finals, that would begin the next day.
Until the next day!

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Mercury is poured into a U-tube. The left arm has a cross-sectional area A1=.001 m and the right has A2=.0005m. One hundred grams of water are then poured into the right arm. Determine the length of the water column in the right arm of the U-tube; given the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm^3, what distance h does the mercury rise in the left arm? 2. Relevant equations Just volumes of cylinder and pressure variations with depth: [tex]P=P_o + ρgh[/tex] 3. The attempt at a solution I'm not sure how to deal with this problem. I found the height in the column fairly easily since we know the density and mass and cross sectional area, it's pretty easy to solve for h of the water column, it is .2 meters. I'm not sure how to set up equations to solve for the distance the mercury has risen though. I don't know how to apply the principles of static fluids here since there are two different types of fluid. Pressures are not equal at equal heights I presume. Both surfaces of the water and the mercury must be at the same pressure, atmospheric pressure, yet are at different heights. However I do think the pressures at points A and B (labeled in the crude scetch) are equal because below the horizontal line I draw there is only mercury.

EDIT: So I reset my enhancements to see if that made any difference and I can now get improved critical on kamas and shortswords. However it still does not work on shuriken. (strangely though it shows different numbers on mouse over of the shuriken, even though it makes no difference when reading combat log) (was criting on a 19 and 20 but not an 18. standard shuriken with feat ICT and capstone should be criting on a 17-20 or 18-20 if no ICT feat) Resetting my racial enhancements still bugged out after i re-logged though....(thought i'd try it yet again..)
*Although also the halfling racial crit enhancer for thrown also doesn't work and I would guess its similar coding.*
EDIT: Tried resting my enhancements on my halfling to check again. Improved critical range from the halfling enhancement still does nothing when using shurikens.
Could the issue be something to do with the ranged side of the coding as it seems to be a common link?

Love this lipstick! Great for everyday or if you want to rock a smoky eyes look. Got this for 1.99 very affordable. Applies easily on the lips and it's matte. I do moisturize my lips before I put this on though, works better that way, will definitely purchase again, matter fact I own like 10 wet m wild lipsticks since I love them so much, thru feel and look like high end maybe even better

This is one of those I had to try because it looks great on everyone else here + it cost two cents so how can I not try it(?!), type of item.
But this doesn't work on my fair olive skin tone. Its two dry and flat for me as well. Yet weirdly enough it still manages to migrated beyond the borders of my lips when I never have that problem. When that happens it looks like I've got a ring of chapped skin around my mouth, it's that exact shade on me. I've tried it witha glosses on top and I can't get it to work. Some things are not meant to be, for me this is one of them.

I own several tubes of this lipstick as I love it so much. It simply gives you that perfect nude lipcolor to your lips that you can wear day or night. As, it is such a super wearable color.

Perfect "my lips but better" color for my skin tone. In the tube, it looks very brown and unflattering but as it went on, I definitely noticed more of the pink. I've been searching for a really long time for a color that flattered my skin tone and didn't take away from a dramatic eye look, so this is great and I got it for about 2.49 at Duane Reade, but I'm sure it could be found for less. The packaging is pretty bad, but for the price and the color, I really don't care! The formula is a little bit on the drier side, but still can be applied smoothly if you put on lip balm under it. Very Kylie Jenner-esque. Try it, even if you hate it, you wouldn't have broke the bank, right?

This lipstick was like 2.49 usd and for the price, it's a steal. It stayed pretty long actually even with drinking and eating but it's not a "long-wearing" product. At first I thought the color looked hideous on me but for some reason after a few minutes, I loved it. It's not super brown but it isn't a pinky nude. You should def wear a lip liner with this because it looks weird on the edges but all in all, this is a great lipstick for the value.

This is very unflattering on my skin, NW20. It's a brown nude and looks very off on me. I would not recommend this for anyone with a cool skin tone like mine and as light as me. I would recommend Just Peachy or something else.
The lipstick itself is great, I love this line. Staying power is great and it doesn't dry my lips out.

My perfect, everyday, "my lips but better" product. I was worried it would be too brownish and unflattering on my fair, cool(I think. Not sure though)skin but it's really quite nice. It goes amazing with heavy/smoky/dark eye makeup.The formula is a bit dry but not totally chalky. It gets more creamy as you apply it. It's very cheap as well. I will repurchase :)

I love this lipstick lol, everyday pink nude color for olive (yellow) skin colors. It's creamy and has a nice sheen too it & doesn't dry your lips, feels almost like butter :3

Love it! It is definately a everyday color. It's really great!

OMG. So cheap yet soooo good!! I'm brown-beigey / med (brown-y) complexion depending on the time of year. I like the actual feel of this lipstick so much & the look that I've even put aside my beloved Kate Moss no. 14 (still love that one tho). Anyhow, this W n W just feels neither too slick / creamy or slippery, yet not too dry or satiny. Further, it gives me a really long lasting color / staying power actually. I know they "all" say that, but I rarely find they actually "do" that lol. I still canNOT believe I paid under $5 for this!! The texture is perfect & b/c it's prob just a tad too light for my skin tone (hehe), it makes my lips look really large (yay)! Will re-purchase until they dis-continue. I'd imagine this would look good on 7rl diff skin tones & complexions as well. I used to loathe anything W n W (esp as a teen & in my 20's), but I've noticed (as have my friends in their mid 30's like I), that W n W have really stepped up their game in recent yrs!!

Arizona Cardinals
Whisenhunt: No major changes for Ryan Lindley
The Cardinals try to snap their six-game losing streak when they face the Rams on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium. Rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley has had a full week to practice with the first team and game plan with the "ones" after head coach Ken Whisenhunt named him the starter on Wednesday.
Lindley saw action in his first ever regular season NFL game last week against the Falcons when he replaced John Skelton early in the game when the Cardinals had a 13-0 lead.
Whisenhunt said today that despite Lindley being a rookie, he doesn't plan on shrinking the playbook for the young quarterback.
"Not necessarily for him," Whisenhunt said. "I don't think he's uncomfortable with what we're doing from a schematic standpoint or the number of plays that we have."
Lindley was 9-of-20 for 64 yards against Atlanta, and he's trying to lead an offense that's ranked No. 31 overall and No. 30 in passing.
Whisenhunt says that if there are any changes to the play-calling or the playbook, it might be more about the offense and less about the quarterback.
"I think we're trying to do better at a lot of the things we do offensively." said Whisenhunt. "I don't necessarily think scaling back is the right thing. We're trying to do the things that we do well, better, and do more of those things."
The Cardinals remember their last matchup with the Rams this season very well. Arizona was 4-0 before getting beat by St. Louis 17-3 on October 4 — a loss that started the current six-game slide. The Rams are also trying to end a rough stretch. They are winless in their last five games.

Room for Expansion, the Money Tree
With Blizzard's announcement of Cataclysm, and various crazy new things that are going to happen to Azeroth, and now introducing faction change, which I think is huge, I think it's safe to say that Blizzard has made a pretty damn good product with World of Warcraft - especially so in the sense of expansion.
We all expand, in our own little ways. Gamers become better gamers, play more games. Civilisations filled with people, grow more people, grow more crops to feed more people - we grow our supplies, consume our growth and multiply, following in this pattern, and Expansion packs, or just additional content for games, are much the same.
EvE online has managed to make a game where it almost needs expansion in order to make your current time investment worth it - otherwise you're just gaining status on the forums. With sovereignty allowing for system control implemented (although from what I hear, implemented somewhat clunkily at the moment) the game has a rich world based on the players, which can only die if the players die.
A game that doesn't really have much room for expansion, or at least useful, intriguing expansion, is WAR. Warhammer Online is based around their RvR combat - you can level up to the maximum level just by doing Scnerios - instanced team based pvp. Alternatively, you can capture keeps and kill players in open world based pvp. Well, that's all good... doing all of this, however, eventually builds up to the ultimate clash between the Order and Destruction sides in city seiges. These battles are huge zergs of players fighting against other players, with NPCs too involved in the carnage.
These battles could be very cool, in fact, they could be the best thing ever... but where does WAR go from here? There isn't anywhere to go from capturing the enemy's city, is there? I certainly can't think of what could be more tremendous than capturing and destroying your sworn enemy's main city - I suppose they could add in the Dwarf/Orc cities, and the High Elf/Dark Elf cities, but those were things meant to be included in the release. Players probably won't take too kindly to paying money for things they were suppised to get a year ago.
Seriously, where would WAR go? I think they have caved themselves in, trapped in their awesome City Seiges for as long as the game remains profitable.
Now, I hate to play favourites or promote Blizzard's World of Warcraft, but there are so many areas in which Blizzard could keep on improving and adding to WoW, in such that they seriously could be around in five to ten years, still.
New player races, for example. Harpies, Centaurs, Knolls, Pandaren, Furbolgs, Ogres, Naga, Dragonkin, Troggs, Kobolds - if you really wanted to get into it, they could make player-based elementals, silithids, daemons (imps, felguards, void walkers).
New instances - the ever increasing lore that gets dug up from time to time that creates new raid content. New places to explore - they're still only just about to enter the maelstrom area.
New factions - Dark age of Camelot was hailed as a fantastic game with its 3-way PvP - adding in a third or even a fourth faction in WoW could add to their content considerably, perhaps making as vast a world as Star Wars Galaxies apparently was back in the day. The Cenarion Circle could be a faction of its own - there are already furbolgs that work with them. The Steamwheedle Cartel and various other profiteering groups could be an opposing faction.
There are simply heaps of possibilities, room for expansion, for World of Warcraft, and is shows us how versatile Blizzard has made their game - especially from a business perspective, as it could still be around for a while.
I mean, hell, they have the money and manpower to completely makeover the graphics, were they so inclined, and I think that alone would pull whatever players left to Aion.
In closing here on this pro-WoW-anti-WAR blog post, which was entirely incidental by the way, should anyone be planning an MMO, think about the next five years. Plan for success, and don't waste too much of your resources into your backup.
A man riding a motorbike over a large jump doesn't spend his run-up with a parachute strapped to their back - it will slow down their initial jump, and it's almost planning for failure.
Think about it.
