You know the feeling, I bet you do. There's a game you played and loved but never finished — or never felt you got closure on, in one way or another. And, suddenly, there's a compelling reason to go back, like a patch or visual refresh. But trying to start a big, complicated game in the middle is disorienting and hard work. You have to remember how everything works, what the buttons do, what's happening in the story, what all this stuff in your inventory does, how you set up your character build, where the useful vendors are, and so on.

'Avatar: Seven Havens' Theory: Korra’s “Cataclysm” Could Solve the New Show’s Biggest Mystery

When we reflect on the respective careers of the two Avatars we met in Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, Aang’s impact on the world was comparatively conventional. Yes, he ushered in an era of peace after ending a century-long war and helped establish Republic City as a melting pot of cultures and the center of innovation for the world. But Korra, for better or worse, left a much bigger mark on the fundamental rules governing that world. And we still don’t know much about what she did after the end of book 4 — or even how long she lived.

"[Dungeon] XP gain is not going to be what it was in [WoW Classic], but it should feel significantly better now. We understand that some of you want to dungeon cleave to 60, but this is another one of those things that has to pass muster with our core pillars. That playstyle being the optimal way to level does not pass that muster and we need to hold firm on these balance adjustments," via X.

There was a time when open worlds made of flying islands really seemed like the New Hotness. I guess The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the obvious trendsetter, but my mind always returns to Bossa's ill-fated aerial MMO Worlds Adrift. I have fond memories of a preview session in which a developer and I tried to rebuild a wildly rolling airship in a hurricane. We failed, but a good time was had plummeting and dying.
