Taking better screenshots
This is just some tips that I wanted to share for taking screenshots.

- Uncheck any of the gameplay options you do not need when taking pictures, such as "Show shimmer around objects with loot" under the "Options > Game", unless this is intentional (e.g., it is meant to show there is a bug, or to show the reader how something is supposed to appear)

Dragon Age Legends to shut down
Dragon Age Legends will close their servers on June 18, 2012: the flash-based game did not "make enough revenue to sustain itself".

The Escapist reports that Dragon Age Legends brings about 10,000 daily average users and 110,000 monthly average users, according to AppData, in comparison to CityVille, which brings in 5.6 million DAU and nearly 37 million MAU.
Search preferences
Wikia recently changed the behavior of the search function on all wikis last week. Since this week, registered users now have the option to enable "Go-Search" ("Under the Hood" in user preferences). Clicking on the magnifying glass should take the user directly to the article, and it will also become the default option when pressing "Enter". Unregistered users should create an account to enable this feature.
