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.

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
