It turns out that the rigging was all done on the community side and Valve is now working hard to combat the obvious rigging. Instead of jolly cooperation, Valve wants you to go for the throat.
    Valve, apparently unhappy with the lack of competition between teams, changed the contest to award

  • A World of Warcraft Player Hits Level 90 Cap Without Leaving the Starting Zone

    How do you kill that which has no life?

    As the headline implies, someone in World of Warcraft decided to hit level 90, the current level cap, without ever leaving their starting zone. The player, Doubleagent, decided he would buck the trend of the Pandaren race and not choose a faction. See, once you hit level 10 as a Pandaren, you have to choose to be either Horde or Alliance. He decided not to do that and thus never left his starting area. How did he level up? He mined a...
