Did they finally modify things so characters aren't naked at the sign-on screen?  I guess I haven't been paying attention.. 

Having a gf addicted to WoW is good  :yes:  Mine is so addicted that I only saw her for like an hour and a half this weekend because we played almost non-stop :)

Lucky bastid ;)

My fiance would rather count grains of rice than immerse herself into the wonderful world of WarCraft.

Well my gf is a gamer man. We met while I was a Q3 ###### for almost 3 years. She said she owuld never pay to play a game and at the time I agreed with that. But once I started to play the open beta of Linage 2 I changed my mind a little and I bought l2 and played for a few. Now with WOW I sold all my linage 2 stuff and picked up WOW. GF said she would never try linage cause it was not her "type" of thing she said. But I let her play WOW and within a few hours she was addicted.

She still hates paying the monthly fee so I'm paying for her account as well as mine. Such is life though as long as we can play together which is something we have both wanted to do for a long time again. We just found different games to play that the other just didn't like much. Now finally WOW brings us to the same game so it is rather fun :)

I made my first trip to Ironforge about a week ago. I liked it so much (because of the Auction House) that I set my hearthstone to there! Druids more or less have two hearthstones - their normal one and one that teleports them to Moonglade. So, now I can get around fairly well :)

This thread is to long to search in if my question allready have been asked..

Is Neowin going to start a Guild? or a Raid? i think that would be nice  :cool:

You can search within threads now you know. To answer your question though, probably not--it seems all the people interested here are playing across different realms and personally I don't want to abandon all the work I've put into my character so far to begin anew.

The largest problem with WoW is that the content isn't big enough (it's already sprawling!) for the number of people that want to play. They have a crazy amount of servers and people are split across them and, as Mav Phoenix said, people are already invested in other servers.

And there are also PvE, PvP and RP servers which many people specifically chose.

I would be willing to start a new char so we could have a neowin guild. If anyone wants to, pick the server and let me know. We can start a guild charter shortly after. I'm on Daggerspine. It's PvP and Low pop.

I love flying the Grifhon or Griffon or Griffin or well however you spell it. I love flying from Stromwind to Ironforge, and seeing the higher levels on the ground. I can't wait to go there when Im 40 something level. Right now Im at level 23 as a Warrior, very hard work I tell you. I should update my signature with my stats.

Been playing WoW since 1st day of retail, really enjoy it.

Well, I'm pretty ****ed off as of late. I've gone to several stores locally and nobody has the game in stock. It's really irritating and I'm not sure if it's due to the insane popularity of the game or just a lack of publishing enough copies. :angry:

Hopefully some place will get it in the next day or 2, spring semester will be right around the corner.

I'm sharing an account with a friend until the EU Final Beta starts, but eh, don't think I'm doing too bad so far:

(don't mind the extra text I added, this screenshot was intended for a friend's site who's making a list of helpful wow links)

If you happen to be on Whisperwind, give me a shout.

Chad,

Just like Half-Life 2 is getting? Mav makes this thread for all things WOW HL2 gets one as well yet that one it at the top of this forum in Important topics. How is HL2 more important then WOW? Sorry but that is not right there are pepole who play this game on this forum who would like to NOT have to look for this thread all the time. Don't give HL2 preferential treatment over other games either thank you very much.

Anyways

Some screens from lastnight. This is from the Blackfathom Deeps Elite Quest. The Turtle that you see while he looks only like a lvl 25 he owns you when it comes to Damage and you get HALF of your normal inflected damage to him when you attack. I useally hit for 100+ this guy I was hitting for 30-40 or so. 3 people in this group no more (less you count my cat) We destroyed the Fathoms.

The second screen is of a lvl 42 elite giant that I found.

The text is because I split up the combat and normal server/talk text box so that I could keep up with the talking for a group and not let the text from combat force it off the screen all the time. The icons are special things I can do as a hunter makes it easier to find (least or me)

Oh and As for that Elite quest that marks #3 for me. Took care of the one in Dolonaar on a Solo mission (no one would help me with it). Took care of the Iron war and now Blackfathom Deeps. Have about 5 more Elites to get done so far as well :)

How do you know if a Quest is Elite or not? And what was the elite quest in Dolonaar?

There is an elite timberling in Dolonaar that you have to kill he is a lvl 9 elite. And yes the quest will tell you if it is an elite quest or not right next to the name of it.

Not that I know of. And trust me you would know if you had done this one. My gf is playing a warrior and she did not get the quest (not sure why) I'm a Hunter and I did. The Elite in question is surrounded by about 8 other lvl 9/10 timberlings and the elite himself is inside of a cave. To be honest when I did it I really did not see many people over in that area so not sure many people have found it (but Icould be wrong)

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      It is notable that around 70% of web browser users choose Google Chrome. However, it is puzzling why anyone on Windows would opt for Chrome when Microsoft Edge is often superior in many aspects and comes pre-installed. Edge collects less data, uses less RAM, and is more optimized for Windows as a native Microsoft product. While some may point to bloat in Edge, much of it can be removed with simple tools, requiring no more effort than installing Chrome. Meanwhile, Chrome reportedly downloads large amounts of AI data (4 GB) without explicit consent. I'm sure you Chrome users love that, or? Here is one example of a tool that doesn't even need to be installed to be able to use: https://github.com/TheBobPony/MSEdgeTweaker Although Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of Edge may be questionable, the browser’s current advantages make it a preferable choice over Chrome today, even if Chrome may have been better in the past.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
