Today WarCry is happy to bring to you part two of the developer Q and A held at the Funcom offices during the community event held back in mid-January.

"In this installment, you'll find: What's in it for solo players, server types, priests vs. potions, UI customization, the 360 version, roleplaying, and more."

First, a small taste:

Head on in to see segments one and two.

During the community event in Oslo last week, the formalities were concluded with a two hour developer Q and A session, which gave press and community representatives a chance to ask those hard-hitting questions about all things 'Age of Conan'.

Here's a small taste of things:

Parts two, three, and four of the Q and A session will come with next week's Funcom Age of Conan Friday Update.

You've read it in words, now see it in video as we are lead through the Funcom offices to show off developers and staff busy at work on 'Age of Conan', plus a glimpse of a dungeon raid and Necromancer play in action.

Here's a sneak peak:

Verne Troyer is (yep, you guessed it!) a Gnome Mage in this new TV ad for WoW. Troyer's spot joins the previously released William Shatner and Mr. T commercials.

Please be aware that key loggers have been added to a massive amounts of AddOn packages on several different AddOn sites.

In general we recommend not downloading any AddOn packages that have executables or batch files that run installers or data collectors, as they may have been tampered with.

Cairenn has posted an excellent description of the problem and how to resolve it if you've already installed an infected package:

In addition, WoWInterface.com has taken the step of quarantining any package that has an executable installer. This was a bold move to ensure the safety of the community and is greatly appreciated.

The fine folks at Kotaku have stumbled upon two new WoW TV ads which feature none other than Mr. T and William Shatner. The ads seem to mimic the minimalist style that seems popular today, with sparse backgrounds and subtle (well, as subtle as Mr. T can be) humor. They maintain the pop-culture referential humor that Blizzard demonstrated with their first big WoW TV ad, which was a take on the movie Office Space.

All I have to say is...I pity the foo who pulls aggro!

In keeping with their insane ability to tear through content, the first Illidan kill by the Chinese guild The Seven was recently reported on the WoW forums.

While we've seen quite our share of Illidan kills on this side of the world so you may be asking "so what?"

Burning Crusade came out on September 7th in China, meaning it took only 51/52 days for The Seven to level to 70, gear up, and kill Illidan. From the screenshot you can see that many members are still sporting their tier 3, which speaks volumes for how powerful it actually is.

Naysayers may say that due to the various bugfixes and changes that went live prior to China even receiving the expansion they had access to a much better tuned Outlands than we did, but you can't deny how impressive this is, even if they had a little bit of an easier time of it than we did.

Barely a day after going live, Zul'Aman has been conquered and Zul'jin defeated. EU guilds Curse and Death Wish were the first to report kills, but by this point nearly the entire loot tables or each boss have been reported to World of Raids.

From what we've seen so far, the loot is between Karazhan and SSC / TK in terms of quality, at item level 132. In addition to a single epic, each boss is reported to drop 2 Badges of Justice, with Zul'jin dropping 3. These can be redeemed for a new sets of gear that supports nearly every spec at costs of around 50-80 badges.

It seems that the encounters aren't especially difficult, but most guilds that have attempted it seem to be geared out in t5-t6, so we'll most likely have to wait until it goes live before reports of Karazhan geared raids come in.
