Spambots
Seems the damn spambots are at it again! There's been a rash of new spambots on Varus Online in the past couple weeks, seems they're abusing Google to get their free email addresses, and have advanced onto actually using the URLs from the messages Varus sends out.

I'm a bitch.

Changes at Varus Online

Arg!
When it came time for me to spec my warlock in WoW, shortly after I started it, I asked an IRC channel what I should spec to. I was answered with "Affliction" and this video was given as reference: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6030452633906675643Read more... ) -
Moar Updates on VO
Varus Online's monetary accumulation has just been nerfed again. Pixie Gifts now grant 500g or 2s. Also, the chances of getting a G/S Pixie Gift during an event are much, must lower. In fact, its been reduced from 1 in 10 to 1 in 1,000,000,000. Yes, the odds of having a gift during an event is now one in one billion. In other words, with odds ( Read more... )
