Quote from Blizzard:
Screenshots:With this new system, you’ll no longer have to wonder about your
perceived or actual worth as a player. Your Equipment Potency EquivalencE
Number, automatically derived from the quality of the gear you currently
possess, will be placed on your character sheet and in the Armory, and also
displayed over your character’s head in-game as an easy-to-read bar-like
object that steadily grows as you acquire loot. Thanks to this new system, no
one will be able to ignore the fruits of your long, hard journey toward gear
perfection.

[BREAK=Armory Changes]
WoW Armory Changes
Blizzard has made some changes on the armory today. The character feed
now shows all the items you have lately ninjaed.
Some other pretty cool changes have also been made (Including the new
background image!).
I would tell more but why don't you go and see yourself?
[BREAK=Runescape Theme Park]
Runescape Theme Park (yeah you read that right!)
At the end of 2010, Jagex will formally open their doors and portculli, allowing
people to come and meet their favourite personalities, experience the thrills of
living in RuneScape, and even sample its varieties of cheese.
Quote from Jagex:
Obviously, we didn’t keep it secret enough, and things leaked all over
the internet. As has been mentioned elsewhere, a RuneScape fansite found
Google Map images showing construction near our UK office; Mod MMG
changed his display name to ThemePark2010; and long-time RuneScape player
GreasySpaniel even found my CV on a Swedish recruitment site, listing my
work on Fort Hasselhoff in Germany, and Brassic Park in Finland. It is certainly
unusual for Jagex employee to have two theme parks on their CV!
This is the theme park map, looks totally awesome! (Click for larger size image)
