Goodbye, old friend.

We are gathered here to pay our last tributes and respects in memory of our departed friend, the old Wentworths interface. From the moment he walked into our servers in May 1st 2007, ol' Wenty was an endless source of (evil) laughter for nearly all marketers, and with his generosity made many a flipper rich beyond the wildest dreams. Of course he was a little slow at times, and he seemed to take special pleasure in mocking those with 3-year old computers, but what is some good-natured joking between friends? In the end, he served everybody with honesty and honor, from the compulsive min-maxer with an addiction to PVP sets, to the poor casual player who couldn’t afford to fully purple their Warshades. His hard hearing often caused him to forget the last few things we asked from him, and he would often trip and fall when asked to bring too many items at once, and we’d have to patiently wait for him to get back on his feet. Just like a child born with a birth defect, we learned to appreciate him even with his faults and frustrations. Tonight his spirit will journey to the great beyond, to meet with his intellectual equals, such as Microsoft Bob and Clippy the Office Assistant, in the great decompiler of the afterlife. Bits to bits, and queries to queries.

I'll miss him and his brother BM interface. It's so sad they died on the same day. I wonder if they'll ever catch the person/persons that did it.

Preliminary reports say that BM murdered WW and ran away with all the loot after faking its own death.

Just saw this thread and I am lazy as, well, everything.

Someone mind telling me what changed or is it all detailed in some update notes?

.. And, was there a patch? How big is it? It may not even be worth it for me with my third-world internets.

Oh, how I wish I were not kidding about this.

I don't mean to disrespect the dead, but if the BM is still alive, then he's real @#$%^&*^%$@@$&%^&%*(.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

It is freakishly huge. You might be better off getting someone to mail you a DVD or flashdrive with it on it.

The new graphics are the bulk of it but you still have to download the whole thing whether you can display them or not.

The GUI is very different and they don't try to load everything when you open it. It takes some getting used to from the old one but I suspect that has to do with 3 years of just getting used to it. It has a lot of tabs to separate stuff but we still have the same number of slots.
