ive just started a new char in thunderbluff, a bull person.

A tauren? :p

The quickest way to level up is to gain EXP as fast as possible. Usually, this means turning in quests, as they give you much more experience than killing a few monsters.

The new cities, Exodar and Silvermoon, are surrealistically beautiful, especially Exodar with all the crystals and holograms. Both cities feel extremely empty though - as if it were too spaced out compared to Ironforge or Orgrimmar.

Silvermoon is Ironicly smaller than OG though. The reason it seems so empty is because of the lack of players populating the area. Both will remain rather empty though due to their remoteness.

Well Ive been playing BC on and off and I got myself to level 23. However yesterday while I was getting quests in Ashenvale, I noticed a Drenei (I gave up trying to spell it right along time ago), go past on a mount. I was amazed. A level 49 shaman! I whispered him and asked a few questions. What I got back was pretty basic, it almost gave the impression he was one of those power levellers. He said he has been playing since it came out, hasnt had much sleep and it took him "a few days" to reach level 49. I remember getting my hunter to level 55. Took me a VERY long time. This guy seriously must have no life to have got to level 49 in a few days.

anyway. The expansion is good but I dont know why but It annoys me when I see all these level 60's in Exodar cheating to get there Jewelcrafting up. Only good side is the prices of copper, silver etc is so damn high that they are getting ripped off blind. Horray! Wish people could play the game properly.

No kidding. I put a few stacks of copper bars up for some normally outrageous price - and they sold in less than a minute :|

Not true, if you plan it correctly you can get to 60 very very quickly. Same with getting from 60-70. I'm currently 64 but since I went out during the weekend my leveling has been slowed by people catching up with me again. :(

^ well if you have any tips. But when I think of getting to 60 quickly, It gives me a headache. It took me 6 months of "casual" play to get my hunter to 55.

Anyways. I love my shaman. Never thought I would like the Drenei or a shaman but they both work and I really like it. The totems are a god send.

Shammies FTW :p

Well this is the first time since TBC release that I have done anything on the computer that wasnt ingame lol, turned 70 on thusrday night and have to say that man i am loving TBC, the cities, zones and quests are so awesome. making 1800g just on quests alone was awesome, then the flying mounts...what can i say, makes for good pvp ganking lol.

I brought the game and the tbc yesterday. After installing it (and a couple of patches) i finally got a few hours under my belt. I have to say it's a very addictive game. I have a lvl 11 draenei (sp?) paladin. Im not quite up to the 1800g mark but getting there. :p

One thing i did note is that every player i came across is very friendly and helpful. I havn't been called a noob once which was nice. :)

Both cities feel extremely empty though - as if it were too spaced out compared to Ironforge or Orgrimmar.

thats funny.... i thought the exact opposite - about silvermoon at least. So many NPC's walking around actually doing something. Even has a blood elf "bum" sleeping ont he ground outside an inn in Murder Row. Made the place feel more alive than the other cities imo.

Did you stop playing aallb> from Tuesday to Thursday:blink:k:

Did you stop playing at all from Tuesday to Thursday? :blink:

That would be a negative, 6 Jolt Blues will keep you going for a looong time, but thing is i slept from sunday around 5pm to monday night 11pm so's not to need sleep for a few days. well worth it, #4 to 70 on the server (only by a hour...****** AOE'rs). Good thing about doing that though is your so far ahead of the server you dont have to deal with zone lag.

So somehow someone stole my WoW account earlier this month. It had been inactive since September '06. My username is pretty random, and my password is even more random (random letters and numbers and is quite long). How the hell someone ever figured got it is beyond me. I suspect that I had a virus keylogger before I stopped playing and that is how it was snatched up...but why no activity until January.

Anyway, I talk to Blizzard and they reset and email me my password. Checked the payment history, and the account was re-activated on 1/11/07 using a prepaid 60 day card. Not only that, but whoever did it leveled my Paladin up to level 60 (I was on 58 in sept 06). He sold some of my stuff, but I still had just about everything.

Not sure why anybody would steal an inactive account and pay to re-activate it and use someone else's characters. The guy even joined a guild and when I logged into my account some people were like "whats up man!"

Anyway, not much harm done (other then me feeling like I've been violated :s ). I got about a month and a half free from the guy so I guess I can't be too ****ed off.

It may be that some fishing site or keylogger etc found out your details and instead of raping your account sold it on ebay and whoever bought it treated as their own.

Yeah probably... I wonder if I can find that information on ebay somewhere. Probably was purchased around or on 1/11/2007 but I can't find a way to search for previously sold items on ebay.

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
