I don't think you understand the purpose of spoiler tags. 

Next step is to mod in skull blocks too.

Most games are repetitive motions; Pong is move the paddle up, or down. Mario is move right, jump (with some left, up, down in there for mix). WoW, I'd say, has taken it to the absurd.

For other 'repetitive motions', consider the starting builds of Warcraft or Starcraft. People analyze them to see which methods "come out" earliest, then apply those methods repeatedly until they can do them with no deviation so as to capitalize on mere seconds of timing difference.

It's a little different in Starcraft, because the driving force of that interaction is the competition, not the repetition. (It's not fun to use the same core builds endlessly, it's fun when you win the game)

I must say that I enjoyed Burning Crusade's level of dungeon difficulty much more than Wrath's (though both were better than the 40-person raids).

WoW's still got some game design issues if it wants newbies to stick around (For instance, the last patch removed a need to eat/drink for the first 10 levels - out of combat regen is just that high for them) -- I hear WoW had something like only a 30% retention rate (as in, got past the first 10 levels).

It doesn't help that each expansion continues to raise the level cap -- the time investment (and money! You need to buy 4 games now!) into reaching max level continues to increase, and it doesn't help that there's such a huge disparity between dungeons, pvp, and pve.

And now that tanks are getting close to 100k health, methinks the numbers are getting exponentially overinflated as well.

I think it'd be much more interesting if Cataclysm (and its various changes) had been the 1st expansion instead of the 3rd.

Ah, but I ramble.

Did you check the dwarf to see if part of him was rotten or rotting? Check his wounds, not just loo"k"ing in his square.

Too big. It's almost 400 MB over the 100 MB cap for file uploads.

But if anybody cares enough, I'll post the world_gen and how to find the spot.

These kinds of bugs (adamantine spires, etc.) are usually not reproducible, for whatever reason.

Just imagine it -- an adventurer out alone, outside after dark. He shivers, wraps his tattered +Naked Mole Dog Leather Robe+ tighter around his stout frame, and bears into the wind. All of a sudden, a cloud eclipses the moon, leaving the adventurer in total darkness. All of a sudden, pin-pricks of light come shining, glaringly bright, into his night-adapted eyes. A single, blood-curdling sound comes from the nearest set of eyes.
