WARNING: First of all, I don't know wether what I'm trying to do is legal or not. If its not, just tell me and I'll forget about the whole thing.

Now, onto my question. I currently own WoW, and love it. However, Im trying to cut back on some costs, and letting go of the motnly fee would be great. I want to know, is there some way I could play on a different server? One that is free? A friend of mine told me it could be done by changing some realmlist file or something :s If it is possible to do that, would I be able to transfer my character? Or would I have to create a new one? Thanks!

its illegal to play wow on emulators and blizzard does try and keep the emulator sites shut down.

as for instances, DM has some pretty good loot there. I got the unyelding maul for my druid, great for bear form. it has 250ac and +12 stamina and +12 defense. Most of the really good gear though comes from MC/Onyxia or tons and i do mean tons of pvp. Thing is though in the coming patch blizzard is changing a lot of set items. for example the druid epic sets from MC/onyxia are almost all Int/Sta/Spi now and mostly fire resist. before though they were much more of a hybrid set. I think they are doing this to make the pvp sets a lot different from the caster sets. PvP set is for feral druids, PvE is for balance/Restoration druids.

Can someone tell me why i need to enter a Credit Card number to play with a 10-days guest pass key?? :angry::

Just enter any random number. It works.:pp

[edit] Has to be the same length as a real cc number. And those special 2 first or last numbers must be the same in the area bellow the cc number (forgot its name).

I've played the US, Korea and EU betas of WoW. And I've played it since the retail launch in Europe. It has been a great game for me, but its time to stop now.

I have a few reasons though. The main one beeing you just DONT have anything to do at lvl 60. If you guys find doing instances over and over and over again till you get all your equipment up fun then sry, i dont. PvP used to be good and fun. But when the honor system came there has been a complete war out there. I normally used to help some alliance when they were in trouble or when another mob aggroed em. Now i just find it easyer to kill em instead of helping them. And many other people do the same.

There have been allot of bugs with stealth (yeah I'm playing a UD rogue) since the earliest US betas. They are still not fixed. Paging a GM just isnt an option for any kind of problem. I've made at least 10 tickets and by the time any of them have been looked at I either solved the problem myself or just moved on and ignored the quest/quest line.

While WoW is young, and has potential atm its not giving me enough reasons to continue my subscription.

Another big thing is that I used to have time to play games all day, which has changed now. And in WoW, you just CANT do anything at lvl 60 under at least around 4 hours straight (talking about instances here). Questing at lvl 60 makes no sense anyway since you dont need the xp and items are crap anyway. PvP is fun, but its getting boring since its just TM and whole day forth and back.

As on most servers, we're outnumbered and the alliance has the upper hand most of the time. But we still are able to push em back.

Lately I've seen allot of lvl 60 ppl who have just about NO clue what exactly they are doing. You can see that a rogue bought his account right away if he at lvl 60 doesnt know about talents and builds.. :rolleyes:

Anyone who plays WoW, should never look on the forum. That was probably my biggest mistake. I've seen allot of trolls on various forums on the internet, but what you find there is just unbeatable. You actually have to try to find someone normal, who wont tell you to get the **** lost when you ask about a certain talent build or quest in a topic.

Anyways, the game was great fun till lvl 60. Also tryed the new Battlegrounds on the test servers. Cant say I'm impressed.

Did i mention LAG?!

Might come back in a few months to check it out again, till then.. sry to all those poor souls that i ganked. :rofl:

(Warlocks really need a huge buff, havent been killed by one for months :no:)

But i do agree with the "Anyone who plays WoW, should never look on the forum. That was probably my biggest mistake.

Seriously, those Forums are a JOKE! people who are looking for a laugh go see for yourself :-S

"OMG NERF TEH ROGUE AND THE SHAMMAN" Seems to be the "hit" now, they also found some lame ArtPad website where they create new threads all the time to show their drawings.

Those boards are concerned about Nerf the Rogue/shaman, Blizzard tech support sucks and warriors sucks....

      @Sayan...I have defended you at various points as I hope you know. This headline however is utter trash...shame on you sir!
    • An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along

      An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along by Sayan Sen Image by Kovin P. Vasquez via Pexels | Not representative An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery surrounding a distant blazar known as PKS 1424+240, helping explain why it produces some of the brightest high-energy gamma rays and cosmic neutrinos ever observed despite appearing to have a relatively slow-moving jet. The findings were published on June 6 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters. The study addresses a broader challenge in astrophysics: understanding how extreme cosmic objects accelerate particles to very high energies and produce very high-energy (VHE) photons and neutrinos. PKS 1424+240 is located billions of light-years from Earth. It has attracted attention for years because it is both a powerful source of VHE gamma rays and the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, according to observations by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It is also associated with one of the strongest peaks in IceCube's nine-year neutrino sky map A blazar is a type of active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole that pulls in surrounding matter and launches jets of plasma moving close to the speed of light. What makes blazars unique is their orientation. One of their jets points almost directly toward Earth, making them appear exceptionally bright across the electromagnetic spectrum and allowing scientists to study some of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe. The scientists exclaimed it's like the 'Eye of Sauron' in deep space. Usually, the brightest gamma-ray-emitting blazars are expected to have jets that appear to move very quickly. However, radio observations of PKS 1424+240 suggested that its jet was moving much more slowly, creating a contradiction that became part of a long-running problem known as the "Doppler factor crisis." To investigate, researchers analyzed 15 years of observations from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of 10 radio antennas spread across the continental United States, Hawaii and St. Croix. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers combine signals from widely separated radio telescopes to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope capable of revealing extremely fine details. The team combined 42 polarization-sensitive radio images collected between 2009 and 2025, creating a much deeper and more detailed view of the jet than had previously been possible. The observations were carried out as part of MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments), a long-running program that studies the brightness, polarization and magnetic field structures of jets produced by active galaxies. The project aims to better understand how activity near supermassive black holes is linked to high-energy radiation and neutrino emission. “When we reconstructed the image, it looked absolutely stunning,” said Yuri Kovalev, lead author of the study and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded MuSES project at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “We have never seen anything quite like it — a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.” The image revealed an unusual geometry. The researchers found that Earth lies almost directly in line with the jet, with a viewing angle of less than 0.6 degrees. In simple terms, astronomers are looking almost straight down the jet. This turned out to be the key to the mystery. Because the jet is aimed almost directly at Earth, a relativistic effect called Doppler boosting dramatically increases its apparent brightness. The study found that this effect boosts the emission by a factor of about 30 while also making the jet appear slower than it actually is. “This alignment causes a boost in brightness by a factor of 30 or more,” said Jack Livingston, a co-author at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “At the same time, the jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects — a classic optical illusion.” The nearly head-on view also gave scientists a rare look at the jet's magnetic field. Using polarized radio signals, they detected a clear toroidal, or doughnut-shaped, magnetic field component. The observations suggest the jet carries an electric current and that its magnetic field helps launch, shape and stabilize the flow of plasma. Researchers believe this magnetic structure may also play a key role in accelerating particles to energies high enough to produce both gamma rays and neutrinos. “Solving this puzzle confirms that active galactic nuclei with supermassive black holes are not only powerful accelerators of electrons, but also of protons — the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos,” Kovalev said. The research was conducted under the MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources) project, which investigates how active galactic nuclei accelerate particles and generate different cosmic signals, including light and neutrinos. Scientists say understanding how protons are accelerated and linked to neutrino production remains one of the major unanswered questions in astrophysics. The findings help explain why some blazars can appear to have slow jets while still producing extremely bright high-energy emissions. More broadly, the study strengthens the link between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos. Researchers say the results provide new clues about how some of the Universe's most powerful natural particle accelerators work and offer important insights for multimessenger astronomy, which combines different types of cosmic signals to study extreme events in space.

      Gotenks98 is right... Outlook (new) is absolute trash. Doesn't Mozilla have an Enterprise Version of Firebird?
