What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 2001
A news aggregator for online role-playing games, EverQuest above all, that in 2004 was rebuilt as a searchable World of Warcraft database.
Bill Dyess, founder of an EverQuest guild, started it in March 2001. Its WoW database was fed by an in-game plug-in that uploaded what players saw; Alexa ranked it the web's 250th busiest site in 2008, and it was folded into Wowhead in 2010.
In 2001: Launched in March as a news aggregator, combing game sites for news about EverQuest and other online role-playing games.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2001 page.
