Travis Baldree, Sirio Brozzi (Concept Artist), and Jamus Thayn (Lead Character Artist) relaxing in their fancy Runic Games T-Shirts during E3.
UPDATE: We are extending the deadline for 7 days due to the interruption caused by the server switch. If you e-mailed a comic in and don’t see it up yet, e-mail it in again please!
It is contest time folks! Wonder saved us a couple of the Runic T-Shirts (seen above) that the devs wore during E3 and is giving them out as contest prizes for the fansites! We’re up first, and we are going to do a comic submission contest!

As our friends at Runic are at home for their holiday weekend, it is time for another round of forum tidbits for you all. There hasn’t been too many lately, so we saved them all up for today’s post. Today’s topics include:
- Monster Scaling
- Loot and Virtual Economy
- Some bits about shared stash and modding
- Technology in Torchlight
- Using Art Assets for other purposes
- Pet Death
First up, forum member heron asked some a variety of questions, most of which other forums members were able to answer, but Volbard chimed in with an answer for the unanswered question:
Omnifas has about covered everything I can tell you, I’m not sure about the inventory and camera. I can say that scaling monsters is super easy.
Next up, in an entirely unofficial comment that may or may not have anything to do with Torchlight, Volbard talks a little about game economies and soul-bound items:

If you can read this, you are seeing us hosted at our new server location!
Ok, so apparently we had more than just our forums become too much for our old server to handle, so I had to do a rush job and transfer everything to our new private server instead.
The good news? The site should load faster and we will be able to do a lot more with the site in the coming days, weeks and months.
The bad news? We are still tracking down the source of a problem with the forums and user blogs, so they do not work right now. The wikis, media gallery and main news page still work, so you still have access to all the other content on the site, which you would have temporarily lost if we had stayed on the other server until they shut us down for using too much of their server’s CPU.
Thanks to everyone for your patience at this time, we’ll do our best to get the forums working asap, but until then feel free to check out the official forums in the meantime.
P.S. I will try to get the T-Shirt contest deadline delayed, since the e-mail address will need some transition time as well.

A new Video Interview is up over at MMORPG.com, featuring an interview with both Travis and Max as they talk about Torchlight and even a little about Mythos! After you check it out, feel free to join our discussion on the forums!

UPDATE: The forums should be back up and working fine now. If there are any problems after this… well then we will have a better idea what the problem is! For the time being, quick replies and image resizing may be disabled.
Sorry to have to say this, but the forums are going to be down for a short time while I figure out why our host thinks it is sucking up 300% more of the server resources than it should be. I’m pretty sure that an average of 11-15 users on any any one time shouldn’t be causing an overload. Keep checking here for news, and in the meantime, feel free to talk on the official forums while we get things taken care of!
