What does SOPA mean? I know what SOP is but not what SOPA is.

Did Blizzard black out for the SOPA/PIPA protest?

Nope, looks like it was just a server glitch. Blizzard hasn't commented on the SOPA thing, but nor are they on the "list of supporters," apparently.

On a side note, someone on the main forums alluded to character graphic updates coming out with MoP. Some big announcement from Blizzard is supposed to hit tomorrow (third hand info from Twitter, which I don't ever do, so tifwiw) and people are thinking it's going to be that.

Sure would be nice for my human priest to not look like such an ape.

EDIT: Nevermind, no special announcement or updates.

Someone asked if the website was down because of SOPA.

I said it's not.

Then I said on a side note, someone DID think it was down because they're planning to announce character graphic revamps tomorrow and they're updating stuff for that.

Then I said humans were ugly.

That's all.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

Good video here:
http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa/



Let's say you were playing WoW and tabbed out to Youtube to look up a boss fight video. In that video someone on vent played some piece of copyrighted music when the boss is killed as a victory sound clip. You link that video to your guild mates in guild chat.

Blizzard gets fined and sued for the link posted in their chat system that linked to unauthorized material.
Youtube gets fined and sued and revenue from advertisements halted until the offending content is removed.

Ahh, I wasn't even thinking in that context. I was thinking along the lines of military jargon, Standard Operating Procedure, and couldn't figure out what the A stood for. I was guessing Standard Operating Procedure Activision/Azzholes cos they like to break things randomly. Guess I have been reading too much WEB Griffin and Tom Clancy lately. lol
