v1.10 Items? - Flux [14:40:PST]

We're getting lots of emails from people reporting various Geocities-type sites with pictures of "new v1.10 items". These are usually said to be shots sneaked from a B.net Test Realm. As far as we know, these are all entirely fake and have nothing to do with the new items we'll be seeing in v1.10. Anyone with any modding know-how can easily make up infinite new runewords and uniques, (not to mention Sets, Crafteds, etc) and they'll look 100% genuine in a screenshot. You can see three sample items that viewers have mailed us right here, and again, we have no reason to believe (and lots of reason to disbelieve) these are legit v1.10 items.

Update: That didn't take long. Less than thirty minutes after this post went up, Thomas mailed to report that these three items are from a mod called Threeweave. And yes, they are listed on the items pages there. Keep this in mind next time you see someone with v1.10 item claims.

The fact that they misspelled it made me laugh even harder. :lol:

Hail Luminaire,

If Zarathustra exists, then perhaps other legendary people/creatures exist too? Perhaps...

Santa Claus got stuck in a chimney, and is awaiting people to realise the house isn't haunted, he's just moaning because he has the sack of toys stuck in an uncomfortable position...

The Easter bunny met up with another bunny for a special night, and is now working extra jobs to pay cripling child support payments.

If God created the universe in six days, and rested on the seventh, but scientists believe creation took millions of years, perhaps one God day is longer than one human day, and therefore he's still resting. WAKE UP ALREADY: George Lucas is killing Star Wars!

Perhaps the funniest thing possible to come out of this is GF, acting by his own violition, had put in these 1.10 items on the Arreat Summit.

*laughs* I've been around, mostly lurking the forums. I've been playing NWN lately, and keeping up with school. But yes, I'm alive!

George Lucas is killing Star Wars!

So true.

Still, I'm not holding my breath for any divine intervention. :P

[TheDragoon]

If I actually had time for games, I'd give it more of a shot. As it is, I like to make fun of it from time to time. :P

Yay for lots-o-work and crappy teachers! At least that's what I've been doing.
