Another officer of STD has posted this VERY amusing news Post on our Guild Website. And since few of our members post outside our own Site, I though I'd bring this to the Masses!
Enjoy!

Good morning and thank you for joining us, This is Risa Wolvesblood filling in for Kirassa Xar'Dniedden, and this is the Weakly News.
In todays top stories the world has yet again come to an end. There are scattered reports of halflings looting within Stormreach as a sign of protest. This just in, we have received reports of kobolds wearing clothes stolen from a clothesline. The report indicates that they have disguised themselves as halflings and joined in the anarchy. We go live now to Sarreena Wolvesblood who is just outside the gate of Stormreach.
<Sarreena-Live Feed> RISA I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR THE LOUD YELLS AND SOUNDS OF BREAKING GLASS COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE BUT FROM WHERE I STAND IT WOULD SEEM THAT TOTAL CHAOS HAS ERUPTED AS THOUSANDS OF HALFLINGS SHOW THEIR DISPLEASURE AT THIS LATEST DELAY IN RE-OPENING THE CITY.
<Risa-Studio>NO SARREENA WE CANNOT HEAR IT OVER YOUR YELLING.
<Sarreena-Live Feed>SORRY RISA I COULDN'T HEAR YOU....I'M GOING TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE GATE SO I DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK SO LOUDLY, ONE MOMENT PLEASE...........................There that's a little better. We heard a rumor from our investigative reporter Landrya Wolvesblood that they had found hundreds of loose fifty foot, three plug extension cords at the old data center. This rumor has yet to be confirmed, however one has to wonder how much planning went into the so-called “move”. Another rumor we heard was that Turbine has delayed the re-opening in the hopes that people will actually go vote in some contest known as the Great Eight or something like that. This rumor may bear a fruit of truth as we all remember the extended downtime that was rumored to be caused by another election.
<Risa-Studio> Sarreena has there been any word from inside the city?
<Sarreena-Live Feed>Actually Risa a wagon laden with goods and filled with halflings has just exited the city. Let me see if I can get one of them to speak with me.....Excuse me, good sir halflling, may I have a moment of your time please?
<Halfling Looter-Live Feed> Yark?
<Sarreena-Live Feed> Thank you sir, my name is Sarreena Wolvesblood with STD Network Weakly News. Our viewers are curious, is this an organized looting that was perpetrated by a group or maybe a guild or was the looting a random occurence that just built momentum?
<Halfling Looter-Live Feed> Yark, me smash big box, steal good stuff....Yark yark, me go now must smash big box. Yark.
<Sarreena-Live Feed> Well there you have it Risa...It would seem that the halflings are a well organized group led by a mysterious leader known only as Yark. There mission, it would seem has nothing at all to do with the recent downtime, rather they are on a quest to smash big boxes.
<Risa-Studio> Errr....riiight, ok then.....Thank you Sarreena for that.....enlightening bit of.....information.
We at the STD Network Weakly News will continue to keep you updated as this story develops.
Coming up, the controversial subject, which is better role-playing or the tried and true kick in the door hack and slash, and also should level caps be placed in PVP arenas, but first this word from our sponsors.

<Risa-Studio>Welcome back, I am Risa Wolvesblood and this is the Weakly News on STD Network.
Joining us today in our studio are our guests, Arrgh Peeguy, an advocate for role-playing and Kilzuu Dedd'r, an advocate for hack-n-slash. Welcome gentlemen , we are here to debate whether it is better to role-play characters in DDO or whether it is better to simply hack-and-slash. Mr. Peeguy will you please begin this discussion.
<Arrgh Peeguy-Studio>Well met Risa, as someone who doth believe that every fantasy associated game is but the nexus for a story, and we, the players are but thesbians who must act out this drama. I doth hold true to my firm belief that if one wanted only to partake in hack-n-slash as it hath so barbarically been called, then there are a fair score other sources available to the dolt who only wanteth to use muscle and might to perpetuate such violence. I t doth behoove me to mention this, as mine beloved world of role-playing hath but come under seige from barbarians such as these. No longer may I enjoy the pleasure of entering a dungeon for the first time, with my bawdy comrades to experience what exitement doth lie around yon next turn. Nay this world hath change-ed before mine own eyes as dolts such as these run pell-mell through the dungeons hacking and slashing at everything, including non living items such as boxes, barrels and crates. It is an affront to the very soul of fantasy based gaming.
<Risa-Studio>Thank you Arrgh Peeguy, Mr. Dedd'r your comments sir.

Later tonight we discuss level limits in the PvP arena, and we test some products from Goodblade Industries, including their controversial Wand of Item Unbinding. Thank you for joining us on the STD Network, this is Risa Wolvesblood with the Weakly News.
