Last week, Rerollz had the fortunate opportunity to ask famed author, R.A. Salvatore a few questions about his experiences and thoughts on the MMORPG genre. In case you didn’t know, R.A. Salvatore is the author of the Drizzt series of books (among many others) and is now currently working creatively with Curt Schilling and Todd McFarlane at 38 Studios on an MMOG project code named Copernicus.
Remember, R.A. Salvatore’s answers do not reflect the ideas or design directions of 38 Studios, but they reflect his own thoughts and experiences while playing these games for the last decade or so.
So if you want to know about his thoughts on Warcraft’s WOTLK, the revenge of Wizard Salvatore and his thoughts on story telling then read the whole interview after the break. Follow the link below.

In World of Warcraft’s latest patch players are treated to the latest raid zone called Ulduar. The last boss, known as Algalon, has been opened up. There has been some rumbling from the hardcore crowd about the limitations on this fight and how that will affect the game play of the more dedicated. Will this cause frustration? How many people will this affect?

Recently the The Legacy of EU-Mazrigos killed Yogg-Saron. They were the third guild in the world to accomplish this feat. If you check out their website you can find the list of loot that was dropped. Not much is left of the new raid zone, jewel of WOTLK 3.1, but that was to be expected.
For those that don’t know this is one of the last bosses before Algalon the Observer which will count as the “hardest” encounter in the game so far. Good ole’ Yogg is the old god of Death that has been imprisoned in Ulduar by the Titans. Algalon is only available in hard mode once the quest chain that drops from the Iron Council (fifth raid boss of Ulduar) has been completed that allows the raid to open a door to his chambers.
You can check out a video of the event here at Warcraft Movies.
