Right before our holidays, we felt that it was time and so Armory Light was relaunched. We were working long for that day (and we often had to postpone it ), but I think the site looks now better than ever and it offers a lot of new features. So waiting was profitable.

Beside character ratings and talent calculators for each class, Armory Light got its own Model Viewer. It is also available as 3D Desktop Viewer – a very cool tool that allows you to watch items of your choice on your desktop. I am very proud to say that we are the first WoW site that offers such a tool and I can promise that it will be expanded in the near future.

One of my favorite features that came with the relaunch is the “Powered by” script that allows you to add tooltips to item and character links. It is very easy to use and nice to look at. For example, I can link to my characters Aiyasha and Phiola, or to this very cool old school Vanilla item, Finkle’s Lava Dredger.

As you see we are constantely working to improve Armory Light. If you want to tell us your opinion or problems you may encounter, just use GetSatisfaction or our contact form.

It’s so weird. There are times were nothing seems to work at all, … and then there are times were everything works out more than fine. I am happy that the second case describes my current situation after some years where everything went bad.

Last week I got a new (additional) job offer. It was no difficult decision for me to decide what to do, and so I am looking forward to work in that project. This also means that I can finally buy a new MacBook Pro (after the new ones are available) as I earn a lot more than before. I guess that the first two or three months are getting stressful as the website for the project has to be set up and as I have to write my paper for the seminar until end of April. Nevertheless I am happy with all of that.

There were other things happening that I am not happy about. :evil: After some weeks of thinking I have left my WoW guild “Wächter der Innbrücke“. The reasons were numerous. Well, I guess I am no nice and liked person. That would explain why I never had much friends. -.-

I am not sure what I will do in the future. I still like playing, but no longer on that server. Alex and I have already started leveling a twink on another realm. Maybe things will become different there. But that will show the future, and until that we both are currently playing only on the Arena Tournament server. Arena sucks, but we require 200 rated games to get Murkimus, the Gladiator.

To stop me from being sad I have bought again a Labyrinth patchwork purse from TwiddlerBags. I think it looks so cool and I hope to get it already this week. 26€ (with shipping) is not really cheap, but the bag is worth that price as it is a unique item and as Jareth and Sarah are so great a pair. I am getting evertime very romantic while watching Labyrinth.

If you like animes and mangas I recommend you “The Vision of Escaflowne“. It’s a old anime from 1996, but still one of the best. The characters are so well done as also the scenes’ settings. The soundtracks are equally great and very romantic. I am currently listening them up and down. My favourite songs are the opening theme, the Escaflowne theme and the hymne of Fanelia (track “Fatal” on Escaflowne OST #3). Hopefully I will get the chance to watch the anime soon. I remember that Allen was always my favourite character.

So here comes finally the music video to “Sora” as I couldn’t find a good video for “Fatal“.
