The beta for Destiny is over, and you probably already knew it was going to happen, but they’ve officially wiped their servers meaning that the 6.5 million characters created by the 4.6 million players are completely gone, forever.
At least the studio has decided to send out a few words to help you grieve: “When we reinvent the world where the guardians live, sometime we have to leave them behind.” This isn’t really a huge news item since all companies that run betas eventually wind up wiping the stats and characters on their servers since it would put the beta players at a much higher footing than those who just purchase the game, and Crom knows we can’t let THAT happen. I just wanted an excuse to play the video clip above.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
