Hero: 108 Preview

February 8, 2010 –
When a company comes to our offices to show off a game, I generally try to keep a straight face, whether I like the game or not. The reason is obvious enough if it’s a game that I’m unimpressed by — I don’t want to step on any toes, and the game is usually midway through development and bound to improve somewhat — but I’m not entirely sure why I do it for games that appeal to me. Anyway, even while making a conceited effort to maintain...

A community manager on the Korean site posted about upcoming changes to one Lich King-10 and four Lich King-25 weapons, and Boubouille’s posted a translation with help from user Locriani.
