2025/08/22

You can answer this question one of two ways, and both are acceptable. For example, you could say that Square-Enix and ArenaNet suck at maintenance mode because Final Fantasy XI and Classic Guild Wars are still getting nice updates, and that’s not what maintenance mode is. Bit cheeky, that. Or you could tackle the question […]

When World of Warcraft’s first expansion launched, people had a lot of opinions, but one of the most widely held opinions was how much better the leveling experience in Outland was compared to the leveling experience in the base game.
