Accounts Banned for Speed Hacking - Block on 12/3/04

We wanted to take this time to make an announcement about a serious hacking violation in World of Warcraft, one for which we have zero tolerance. Certain individuals have been identified as using speed hacks to accelerate their characters. This goes against the theme of fair play that we have instituted for the game, and is in clear violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.

Those individuals who were caught using the speed hack have been banned from the game and have had their accounts closed. We must stress once again that we are opposed to hacking and cheating of any kind and are dedicated to maintaining a fair environment in our games. This will serve as a final warning to others who are considering using the speed hack. If you are caught using it, you will be banned without question from World of Warcraft and your account will be revoked.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you suspect someone of using the speed hack, or wish to report other instances of cheating, please email us at [email protected]. Thank you again for your continued support.

That is awsome. I wonder if the one guy that;s at the top of maxmeout.com got banned? I got 16 last night, 2 more fire totems, armor and 74 silver from a wand I fouind. :) I think the best time to bid on items is at around 11P-12A because they will just sit there all night and you cang et it. Also I look for low buyouts.

It's really cool fo go into battle, cast stoneskin totem, a fire totem and jsut beat on them while the totem blasts them to cinders. I'm a beast! Nah, but I have fun. Like I have said time and time again I need someone to party with on The Burning Blade.

Well once they put the honor system in you'll be pretty ****ed if you go offing important NPCs like that. :)

The honor system is not for alliance npc's and it's already in place. The honor system for players is a false rumor. Say for instance I declare war(which you can toggle) on ratchet and I start killed all the npc's my honor there will fall and others will as well, so when I enter these areas I will be attacked ON SIGHT. To put it as alliance side, say a few level 40 mounts are going to the great lift, well they can take out the few 35 gaurds there as they are horde. They already attack on sight since it is different faction etc.. this does not mess up anything.

How do you like being a priest?  You're the first person I've seen that is a priest and seems to enjoy it!

I love being priest. You can beat ANY class that lacks the ability to heal it self solo'ing. And you can easily run away from any competition,so if I'm alone picking off low level's trying to do quest's I hug the water incase they call their friends. Paladins, are still untouchable. Priests get raped in groups though. I usually go out with a rogue and its a great combo.

Also... level 37 today !! :p

Nah he's legit. I've talked to him a couple times. Nice guy. He doesn't bother with the quests much. Just goes through and levels fast. IIRC, he was the first to hit 60 in the beta, so he knows where to go and what to do to level fast.

What was this Speed Hacking thing all about? I never heard about it until it was banned?

Not sure if they're talking about the same speed hacking I've experienced but the kind I know involves speeding up the game. You run faster, do things faster (cast/timeouts). Basically the game has metrics and that defines the rate in which you do things -- speedhacking speeds up that time.

i agree with Qarth. i think part of the games enjoyment can be found in actually wandering around and doing stuff for fun, not just hitting a high lvl right away. Im currently lvl 28 and played all day today without leveling because I was walking around doing a few quests in areas im not normally in and even doing a little pvp.

Yeah I know what you mean. Today FINALLY I was able to do my level 20 Paladin quest. It's currently bugged and it's hit and miss whether or not the NPC you need to talk to will be there. I lucked out today though at level 26. :p

It's a multi part quest though that sends you on a scavenger hunt into at least 2 Elite areas (I've only collected two of the four items so far). The last one I did took me deep into Silverpine and Shadowfang keep. Wow what a ride that was, such a long walk and near misses getting killed with Undead guard patrols and creeps that were 10+ levels higher than myself. I was in a group with 2 other Paladins doing the same quest (lvl 28 and 21) and we jacked this lvl 28 Forsaken Warlock, man that guy was in a world of hurt .:D

Speaking of PvP it irks me that I can't attack horde players in horde territory unless they attack first. That was a letdown for sure, it seems that only in contested areas are you able to have some real PvP.

Once we got to Shadowfang Keep though it was on! 3 Paladins kicking ass fighting back to back with 3 auras with some great cinematic music during the fighting parts. It was an amazing experience and makes the game and the associated fees worth every cent. Also the Silverpine area oozes eerie coolness.

Oh yeah one last thing the quest that I'm on leads up to this bad boy.

Couple questions guys.

First im in Europe, so the open beta is starting soon and my preorder is on its way :)

Now im gonna be playing horde with my guilde for sure.

1. I heard Shamans, Mages and Warriors are the most common classes, is that true?

2. Which classes are good in groups (parties), or most looked for?

3. How are Rogues/Priests/Hunters in PvE/PvP?

4. What Horde race goes best with Priest (i think undead)?

5. What Horde race goes best with Hunter (i was told troll)?

These are the main questions but in summary, Id like to play a character that is not so common (hate being one between so many, reminds me of the mass shaman tactics in warcraft 3), i want to play a class that is useful to a group when hunting as well as has the chance of soloing. Id also want to be decent in PvP (preferably solo PvP but i must be also decent at group PvP).

Thanks a lot and i am awaiting your answers, fellow WoW gurus!

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
