How's the current state of the game/ I'm a Box owner took time off. been playin since closed beta.

Looks like DR is still trucking along glad to see it going. =)

Hey unmatched - nice to see you around. It's still going strong, albeit with a small dev team. The last patch was pretty huge and there's some cool stuff in the pipe.

If your a box owner you'll be happy to learn that there's a 2nd gnome in the works (albeit slowly).

Where, by whom and when was that announced.... again?

Someone was asking about the box ingame, specifically the "Bing Gnomes" part, I got curious and sent Stephen a pm, according to him there's another gnome coming although he didn't say exactly when (this was a while ago).

Doesnt mean it has anything to do with the original gnome or the box ;P

Actually, it apparently does, perhaps he was simply pointing out the 2 different gnomes on the box, who knows and the fact that it says the words "sidekicks" and "gnomes" this denotes plural meaning, as in there is more than one gnome available. Like his statement says, someone was asking questions about the box in the game and he got curious and asked Stephen about it.

Speaking of the Bling Gnome, a few days ago I had an awkard dream that the bling gnome recieved a new skill, I dont recall what it was named. The skill thou I thought was kinda cool, you would activate it just like the current skill and instead of converting your items to gold he would eat them then fart out a cloud that would damage all opponents in a certain radius. The damage all depended on how much loot he ate, it also did fairly decent damage, and the cool down was like 45 seconds or something along those lines.

Dont ask me why I was dreaming of DR... 0_0

It's a symptom of playing to much, I speak from experience

I was going to congratulate you on dreaming of the gnome, rather than about intimate moments with the Manazon... (love that word!)

I'll try not to think about that.

Here is Stephen's reply:
Not sure that was really worth posting but there yah go.
