On the Gamescom opening ceremony the visitors had an unusual spectacle: Flying Tropper with a Jet-pack! On the second video from the 1:15 point things start to get interesting.

Lotro Support Ticket Tracking Issue
Currently Lotro players are unable to track the status of their support tickets. Tickets are still being processed, however you will not be able to check the status of your ticket. As Turbine has announced this issue will be restored in the future.
Aion Closed Beta #6 Event
Closed beta #6 is primed to rocket onto the servers on Friday, August 14, 2009, noon PT (8 p.m. BST, 9 p.m. CEST). The beta forums open their gates two hours earlier, and access to them will be ongoing throughout the weekend until Monday.
This upcoming sixth and final closed beta event marks the end of an era. The level limit will not be raised from that of the previous event. The maximum level will be level 30 for Elyos and Asmodians alike, encouraging you to spend some time to catch up with your friends or explore the vast lands of Atreia.
WordPress 2.8.4: Security Release
Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.
We fixed this problem last night and have been testing the fixes and looking for other problems since then. Version 2.8.4 which fixes all known problems is now available for download and is highly recommended for all users of WordPress.
Upcoming WordCamps
Every now and then I see someone ask in the dev channel how they can meet up with other local WordPress developers. We’re thinking about ways to make WordPress.org more of a resource to facilitate local connections, but in the meantime, I thought it might be helpful to publicize some upcoming WordCamps, the weekend conferences organized by local communities to talk about all things WordPress.
WordCamp New Zealand: Wellington, New Zealand, August 8-9, 2009
WordCamp Huntsville: Huntsville, Alabama, USA, August 15–16, 2009
WordCamp Los Angeles: Los Angeles, California, USA, September 12, 2009
WordCamp Philippines: Makati City, Philippines, September 19, 2009
WordCamp Portland: Portland, Oregon, USA, September 19-20, 2009 (Last year’s PDX WordCamp was awesome, IMO.)
WordCamp Seattle: Seattle, Washington, USA, September 26, 2009

WordCamp Mexico: Mexico City, Mexico, November 20, 2009
If any of these are within a reasonable distance to you, consider attending. WordCamps are a great way to meet other WordPress users, find collaborators, and expand your t-shirt collection*. I know I’ll be hitting at least a few of these; WordCamps are also a great way to get user feedback to take into consideration while we’re making decisions about what to include in core.
You can always find an up-to-date list of upcoming WordCamps at WordCamp Central. You can also try searching for WordPress groups at Meetup.com to find more regular monthly gatherings in your area.
*Most WordCamps include an event t-shirt in the registration fee.
