hey i quit WoW about a year and a half ago at lvl 58. I'm a lvl 58 night elf hunter at Korgath that has completely nothing. i let my friend take my account and send gold and sell everything i had to his account and we both have quitted, but i feel like going back now i just started 2 days ago. I only have a couple of silver at hand and no clothing and weapons... what should i do to get back together if its possible?

go grind low lvl area's to get some money and random drops. or you could join the usual scum and beg in general chat but be prepared to be ignored quickly :D

Anyone got a fast link for the BC Beta patch, the 540mb one? I swear to god Blizzard really ****ed up their Torrent Application.

[Spookie]

Not worth downloading it. Better idea getting your main prepared for TBC's release on tuesday!

If you insist though try the beta forums usualy links there.

[Sethos]

Yes, but I'd like to control what i do with my own time thank you :p

By the way: Inside look on how Blizzard creates patches, It's true!

Can't wait for Burning Crusade to come out this week. Me and my friends are going to have a blast in Hellfire Citadel. :D

Did the whole game just go down? I know they're doing realm restarts tomorrow (Monday the 15th) but I can't even get to the realm list... :s

They released a new patch, which is now causing my game to read "Unable to verify game version" whenever I try and login. Time to re-install I guess.

I think a lot of people are complaining today that they can't log in because of this patch ... maybe that's what is messing up your game?

[John Veteran]

Yeah, I installed 2.0.5 probably an hour ago or so. Since then I get to 'authenticating' but then I always get "Disconnected from server".

Update: When I start the game, there's a new message stating:

[08:10am PST January 14, 2007]

There is currently an issue that is preventing some players from logging into the game. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible and apologize for the inconvenience.

I guess that's what I get for installing a new patch right away...

Haha. Well, it gives me time to re-install my game then ... I wonder why they released this on the weekend though?

[John Veteran]

Who knows... I'm sure every single Blizzard employee is running frantic with TBC coming out in 2 days though.

Updated in-game message:

[08:10am PST January 13th, 2007]

The 2.0.5 client-side patch has caused issues with our authentication system. These issues can cause players to be suddenly disconnected from the game as well as prevent them from logging in to the game. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible and will provide you with updates as soon as they are available.

Well at least they figured out what the issue is and hopefully it's fixed pretty quickly. Too many times have I seen a patch shut the game down for an entire day or longer :/

Critical fixes. They tend to do them when you get bugs that alter gameplay majorly.

Really... :rolleyes: I was just waiting for the typical Blizzard response of "we're looking into it" since it was the weekend, but they did fix it pretty quickly.

Recieved my copy of TBC this morning (UK here) Will be able to play at 11:01 my time tonight. Can't wait.

Typical Scouse Parcel Farce means I won't be receiving my CE till (well it'll take devine intervention) tommorow.

[WigglesTheFish]

w00t, got my Burning Crusade here. Was 1 of 6 copies that weren't pre-ordered. Was greeted by a 159MB patch once I installed... I am downloading that as we speak...

[Xantheus]

Just got 61 about an hour ago. First in my guild and about 5th on Horde side on my server. Went over to see Silvermoon city and it looks frikkin awesome.

[TheFlusher]

TBC is here...

...So it begins.

[Sethos]

I love the Blizzard downloader - even on the most open connection in the world you are "Behind a firewall" ...

[John Veteran]

Any bugs, glitches, connection issues? I'll be playing it later this afternoon, and I don't want my playing to be disturbed by problems :p

[entropyx]

Can't wait to get this goin after work and class tonight... mmm 6:30 can't come fast enough...

[Elliott]

This is killing me having to wait here at school. I need the game! :laugh:

[Eric Veteran]

and i think that is why there are so many comments on WOW being no good at level 60. If RP has never been your taste why buy an RPG?

I still love it.

I bought NFS the other week, crap game, i drove around one lap and the rest of the game was exactly the same just driving a car around roads and adding new items to my car.

oh and I hate cars and driving.

Why did you buy a driving game if you hate cars and driving? :p

Yeah I really hate that too :(

Download and install but I haven't got any patch since 2.00 (lost intreset till BC), and I'm not about to sit around and wait for damn updates from Blizzard Downloader. Got a premium membership over at Alla and I'll just download the patches from there. Easy enough.
