Initiate Operation Cheap Stuff!

Yeah, who cares about quality anyway?

Now that you mention it, there was someone who ripped some of the character models from MO.

That's what I was thinking of. Usually if it's for personal use, it'd be fine (the same as making fan art I'd imagine), it's the distribution and profiting that's the issue as you said.

If a company like shapeways printed the models, perhaps they would get sued since they are the ones profiting and distributing?

If you have direct access to a 3D printer (which is awesome), I can't see it being a problem for purely personal use.

Isn't there a EULA that says you can't use parts of the software, only the whole?

Yeah, but there are EULAs that say that consoles can't be modded and the various courts in Australia have not supported that rule either.

Like I said, a grey area. And even if it was a legal black area, they're not likely to sue one man who used the models for his own purposes and didn't sell them.

And even less if you are pals with LL.

I'd like to see some OW merchandise containing lead... It would symbolize the contamination and molestation of the pristine natural world and be true to the message that Lorne intends to communicate. Hopefully something small enough for a youngster to ingest.

When can I get China on the horn?

Lead stuffed with asbestos right?

Jbot123 03-10-2013 04:19 AM

I would like a life sized, fully operational version of the Clakker fortune teller machine.

In a limited collector's case made entirely from Anthrax.

STM 03-10-2013 10:12 AM

I don't know about you but I want one...

Scrabaniac 03-15-2013 06:03 AM

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a Slig/Glukkon voicelock for your door?! Program it to recognise your voice, so when others try it, access is denied :P

Crashpunk 03-15-2013 06:26 AM

That would be hilarious but I don't know how it would work.

Xavier 03-15-2013 06:29 AM

You better not get a cold or any other disease that messes up or voice then.

A chant suppressor. For all your chant suppressing needs.

Actually, that would be a nice idea.

That is actually a rad idea. A floating suppressor with a fading in and out red LED. Genius!

Steamer_KING 03-16-2013 02:45 PM

It can be done right.

Jbot123 03-16-2013 05:31 PM

A zappfly nightlight.

Jbot123 03-17-2013 04:22 AM

I can just imagine a chant suppressor shocking my PSone when I play AO.
