Gah. My account got hacked.


I was playing last night and had two phony wannabe Blizzard GM's try to tell me my policy terms had been violated and to go to some WoW website.

I reported them.

I also received an email from [email protected] stating my account had been compromised, to follow the steps through a certain link, etc. Well, I did that. There were no steps. I totally believed this was a real Blizz message. Then I realized somehow, someway the email was intended to look like an authentic Blizz email. I'm at work the next day, check my email, and voila! a message from Battlenet telling me my password had been changed at 3:30 a.m. (Obviously I'm not up that early on a work night.) Sooo I ran to Battlenet and changed it ASAP.

:Hug2: Sorry that yours got hacked. It happened to a good friend of mine on the game. He put in a ticket and got every one of his items back.

Which part?
Mostly healing imbalances.

They want people to play more skillfully, yet they're going to nerf mana regen to hell which is going to force healers to spam their most efficient heal over whichever heal is best for that particular moment. >.< My paladin spams enough! /rar

Hahaha. That's my rant of the day.

This, is an attempt by someone to pretend that they're actually someone, but is actually just a really long spam message.

5.93 million years of combined playing time by all WoW players, roughly. According to Jane McGonigal.

Shaldna. Currently restarting with a human mage. You'll have to find me yourself. :)

I play a resto shammy and I could care less about mana regen. :tongue
However, I hate having to stack for haste since my spells are soooo slow! I want to stack intellect like the paladins so I too can have a 3.5K mana pool!

I had a few WoW characters once upon a time. I lost interest in video games when I took up writing again so I haven't been back in over a year but WoW had it's place in my life for a good long while. It was a remarkably inexpensive form of entertainment while I was saving for a down payment on a condo.

I had a blood elf demonology warlock, an orc enhancement shammy and for a while an undead prot warrior. The first two were great fun but tanking sure took it's toll. If a raid wipes, everyone blames the healer or the tank and that got old real fast.

One story worth mentioning was when I wandered into Wintergrasp late one night. I think on that night there were only fifteen or so hoard players in WG and every alliance on the server came out, so we all ended up with 20 stacks of tenacity. I had 128k health and was regenerating something like 4-5k every tick of the fel armor. I think my DoT spells must have been ticking for 5k damage as well. I was just standing out front, DoTting everything up and damn near insta-killing them. That was awesome for the few minutes it lasted.

...and because I can already hear people chanting "Screenshot or it didn't happen!", I have one ready: http://viktornight.com/2010/04/http://viktornight.com/tenacious-warlock/

In some ways I kind of miss Warcraft. I just wish it was something that I could devote 2-3 hours to a week and still be able to progress, instead of the required 30.

The Cataclysm is still being updated every once and a while. Gnomeregan and the Echo Isles will finally attain starting zone status after we do some ass-kicking in their. I imagine it'll be something like the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj event.

Still have to get my lock to level 60 at least...

Have they released a date for Cataclysm yet? I haven't found one anywhere (of course, I haven't looked in a while).

According to Morhaime, he announced at their quarterly earning that it should be out in 2010.

That cannot be WoW. It's way too pretty! That said, thanks folks for resurrecting this thread. I've got an 80 Human Warrior on Azgalor. Working on some alts now. I enjoy WoW, but hitting level 80 has left me a bit unsatisfied.

There is such a huge disparity in the power of gear at this level: Most of my gear is item level 200 or so. Those who have been playing much longer have gear that is 264/277. It makes me utterly useless in Wintergrasp, most battlegrounds, and I wouldn't stand a chance in arena, I imagine. The majority of players doing raids are for weeklies or the toughest content (ICC, Ulduar), and runs through earlier content is usually for achievements. This means that if you aren't already decked out in awesome gear, you don't have much hope of being invited, as they want to run through the instance in a matter of minutes. The only thing that has helped alleviate this issue is running random dungeons, farming emblems, and buying emblem gear from vendors.

Totally agree. It's taking me FOREVER and a day to get those emblems. The frost emblems are the worst. My guild checks gear scores on the armory or wowheroes.com. If you don't have a high gear score, you don't get to run ICC. Which sucks. But I know if I went in there right now with my measly gear score, I'd probably cause a wipe. lol
