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.

    • Have I understood it correctly that iOS 27 is an Apple Intelligence party only? Thus only for iPhone 15 Pro and higher, and especially even beter for last years iPhone? So basically all iPhone 14 and earlier become obsolete and cannot be used with Apple Intelligence and/or SirI AI?
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more by Hamid Ganji After months of rumors about Apple’s latest software updates, the company unveiled macOS 27 at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference. macOS 27 isn’t a major departure from the previous version; instead, it focuses on refining the user experience and fixing some of the annoying bugs users have reported over the past year. The new macOS 27 is named Golden Gate. When it comes to the list of new features, you should not expect a long one, as Apple has followed the Snow Leopard playbook from 2009 with macOS 27. First, the Liquid Glass interface isn’t gone; it's been updated to improve readability. It gets a new slider in settings to adjust Liquid Glass, letting you go from ultra-clear to fully tinted with ease. App icons also get an additional layer of Liquid Glass to look sharper. Smoother system animations, faster content loading, and a similar corner radius for windows are other improvements for macOS 27. With iOS 27, Apple released a standalone Siri app for iPhone users, and the app is also coming to Macs with the latest update. The all-new Siri AI app features a chatbot-style interface and aims to compete with Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It supports both text and voice prompts and provides users with access to previous conversations for reference. The Siri app can also perform a wide range of tasks, including on-device search, image generation, information summarization, and more. Users can also rely on Siri for personal context. Siri is integrated with various apps, allowing users to complete tasks with a single prompt. With the screen awareness capability, you can ask Siri about locations and images on your screen. Which devices won’t get macOS 27? If you’re still using an Intel-powered Mac, we have bad news for you. macOS 27 is only compatible with Apple Silicon chips and drops support for Intel-based Macs. Here’s a list of devices that won’t be compatible with macOS 27: Mac Pro (2019) 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 27-inch iMac (2020) 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) When can you get macOS 27? Apple developers can now access the first beta of macOS 27. However, the first public beta is expected to be released sometime next month. Users will have to wait until this fall for the stable version of macOS 27.
    • Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
