On July 27, 2010 Blizzard launched StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.Today is the first Anniversary of StarCraft II.
The past one year is amazing.”Within the first 48 hours, the game sold over 1.5 million copies, making it the fastest-selling strategy game of all time. Within a week, we finally breathed a sigh of relief, believing that maybe we had created a game that could stand on its own, a game strong enough to carry the StarCraft legacy onward for years to come.”

In Final Fantasy XIV, the process of holding that enmity was complex, lacked an indicator, and was generally difficult to gauge. As part of patch 1.18′s major battle system overhaul, the functions of enmity which will be accompanied by the introduction of a new UI element,are being changed, streamlined, and improved to make tanking more straightforward for all players.
Monsters will be gaining a new indicator for enmity, allowing each player to effectively judge whether or not to hold back on attacking based on enmity. Similarly, the process of accumulating, holding, and dispelling enmity will be significantly streamlined.
