Drama thread of the day: "Why I dearly hate you, Khodumodurno"Drathe: Number one, Khodumodurno is the most selfish, egotistical, childish, worthless warrior in this game. Not only does he cause raids to wipe on a consistant basis so much so as a catch phrase was made to his honor for doing so (Kodo Pile)

Tee hee. Tittle. I read about 4 posts in and stopped. This is as good as a thread on that board will ever get. From here on out it's down hill. Or over cliff. Or off pier. You get it.

Double funny, though. A guy cries that you no longer have to purely farm rugged leather, you can now turn thick into rugged. Man, I'd so much rather farm leather and sell off the tons of thick I get. Moron. From the "need slower exp gains in Planetside" end of the gene pool. The "not enough death penalties" end. You know, masochists with ocd. EQ players. ;)
The mythic stuff is pure gravy.

That thread is 23 pages long. I couldn't get past the 8th post without wanting to shoot myself in the ass with a hot grease gun.
What happens when you get to page 23? Does your heart spontaneously combust while blood shoots out your ears at an astonishing rate?
Do people around you start dying? Just like that. Dead. No reasons, other than the fact someone near them just read 23 pages of unmoderated stupidity.
I expect by around page 16, you actually see a glimpse of what hell would be like.
The meek shall inherit the Earth my ass.
Now excuse me while I go read the Britney Spears thread in the den to make myself SMARTER.
[I applaud you all for the bottom of our barrel being making fun of trailer trash while Bruce baits you. If I ever see an actual God vs. Science thread here there's a good chance I'm going to turn this into a Face of Mankind fansite.]

True science does not conflict with belief in God or the Bible.
Only unprovable theories and assumptions made by fallible men and accepted as defacto truth conflicts with the Bible. I bet this guy has a degree from Bob Jones U.

The fact this guy knows Britney's new husband. And quite possibly has a mother and sister that are the same person. I'm tempted to put on my tinfoil hat (which I wear when I write news) and go post in that thread. Just complete evangelical nonsense. Utter gibberish. 10 minutes of reading to form a response may harm me in ways I could never imagine, but EXTREME FORUM POSTING could become a national sport. Who knows.

Or by another name, a thread about things we discussed during high school. This says a lot about the Blizzard forums. I don't even know why you guys are doing this - when I go to those forums, just the topic titles make my eyes bleed bright red blood.

Hax0ring, photoshop, and you.For my contribution, see page 14. I just love it how paladins can turn any thread that involves a shaman into a nerf shaman thread. I would try and reproduce this bug, but I like not being banned.

When from behind me, a young girl aged 25 said the stupidest thing I've ever heard and it went something like this.
"If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college."
Now, DON'T think about that for more than 2 seconds of BLOOD will fly out of your nose.
It's the kind of thing you hear in a mall, look around to see if anyone else heard it also. But your friend is over there at the cell phone booth looking to buy a new phone. But he's not buying a new phone because he doesn't understand THE RATE STRUCTURE.

Something I've noticed lately is that a lot of the really stupid posts come from people who are obviously male but have a female avatar.

A not completely useless post: Insider info on the server issue | 3/11/2005 1:52:44 AM PST This info was given to me by a former employee of a very large internet backbone server group. which shall remain nameless, but I'm sure the people who know who I mean allready are aware of this problem, but don't want to discuss it. I don't know how long this will stay up before being deleted or locked, but here it goes. The biggest reason why certain relms and servers keep crashing, and certain changes effect servers almost randomly, is not entirely blizzards fault. They use major backbone companies to host the servers used for this game- not their own proprietary servers they used for battle.net, though they did outsource allot of the b.net servers too, later in b.nets evolution. But I digress. Blizzard as a company does not have the nationwide and worldwide infrastructure to completely control the internet access and server networks needed to make this game work. They contract other telco companies to handle alot of it for them. ALL mmorpgs do the same, do varying degrees. The problem with blizzard is that they are in a contract with certain companies they cannot break, which includes hardware and bandwidth limitaions. From what I was told, they optioned for growth at a certain rate and at a certain cost. They have been renegotiating for more mandwidth and control, but it's costing them dearly. They CANNOT discuss this openly in any way as it could be construed by the parties in question as being slanderous or libleous in certain contexts. Rather than take the chance of someone slipping up and saying a little too much at one time, they addopted a 100% non-disclosure policy on these issues. Once any side gets lawyers involved, any and everything can and will be used against you. They also don't want to risk 10.000 angry gamers floding the internet companies with hate mail or spam about the issue. Blizzards contracts call for them to be the responsible party for customer contact in this situation. On a related note, I was also told that the day to day costs or running the servers is immense- to the tune of several million dollars a month. As technology improves, they can expand the servers and increase the numbers of active servers and decrease the lag and technicle issues involved while keeping the costs about the same as allready contacted for, or even less. One big factor in the cost I was surprised to hear was what my friend refered to as the "defense budget"- the cost of protecting the servers themselves from direct attack via the net. They are assaulted constantly by hackers who attempt to crash or hack in to the servers, either maliciously or to track the info flowing both ways on the networks. Its not a smal feet to protect them, and still allow the game to flow at all, let alone smoothly. The figures discussed put the wow servers at about the same target level as the pentagon, if not more so, in the attempts to hack in to, moslty my rank amatuers, but some serious damage has been done by pros as well. I dont think blizzard, or any other mmorpg company really wants to dicuss the 2nd point, it being the dirty little secreat hiding out in plain sight no one wants to talk about. Again, loose lips sink ships, and if they did give out anything close to detailed info on how or when the servers were being attacked, it would invite other to try the same. Well, hope everyone takes this for what it is worth. And before anyone asks, blizzard certainly knows who I am, but under no circumstances will I divulge the source of my info, to them or to anyone else so dont ask. Edited to correct the worst of my realy bad spelling.

From the first post: ...this downtime along with: you ignoring well constructed posts of buggs that downright nerf effectiveness of classes in leiu of nerfing those classes EVEN MORE and NOT FIXING THE BLATANT BUGGS... Blatant buggs? Buggs that downright nerf effectiveness of classes in leiu of nerfing those classes even more? I don't know what the FUCK you just said, Little Kid, but you're special man, you reached out, and you touched a brother's heart. That should be the default response from every single GM in the WoW forums. They'd get a lot more shit done if they'd get some balls. We're in a new generation of people with this intarnet thing, they can afford to have a little derision thrown their way. Unfortunately it's just a line from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Dude,
I had this same problem times ago. But not only this, another message appear some times.
I found a Topic here where says some players 's experiences with installation problems.
I tried one of those posts there and it saw:
"Trie to get out some RAMs of your computer and install..."
I install only one memory RAM DDR333 256MB and tried 2 times, in second time i get it. It's spend a long time, but i installed wow.
Yesterday when i was playing an error occurs in "wow.exe", the game was closed and i "win" a Blue Screen of my Win XP.
I think my HD was not good. I'll pray for this error not occurs again.
If some one know that topic i mentioned, put it here. VIKLAS!!!!
