Let me hop in here for a sec, fellas.

Actually, when we were first asked for the text for this inscription prior to release, we gave the designer "Thou are that and that is all," and assumed they could handle a simple copy paste job. Oh, how wrong we were...

So, when Zuel first reported the "backwards inscription" bug and I took a look at it on-screen, I noticed that they had, in fact, taken the liberty of typing in the English rather than copy pasting it, and had, in fact, managed to botch it by getting one of the seven words wrong. When I forwarded the bug along, I also reported this issue, which they were able to promptly fix--the corrected text will go live in the next patch.

I was informed, unfortunately, that there is nothing that could/would be done about the inverted text on the reverse side of the stone. What say we just chalk that one up to some in-game magic anomaly?

I honestly don't know whether to be amazed you got this reference, or disappointed you missed the soupçon one, Moose.

Now if you'll excuse me, while you're all napping away in the Occident and elsewhere, it's getting awful close to Beer:30 over here...
