the evn show

Nice man. Tonight is a Hyjal main/alt run. Friday is a full clear of BT, with Saturday-Monday being SWP. I know we will get Kal/Brut down Saturday. I think Felmyst will take us Saturday/Sunday, I know we will have no trouble dps'in down M'uru in either phase nor have problems controlling adds in P1. So only hard fight I see left for us is Eredar twins. I doubt we will get past twins though, rest of the guild is staying optimistic.

Good luck in the place. If you can get to twins you can do kil'jaeden: he shouldn't take more than a day to learn.

There's certainly enough time left before wrath to kill him (yea the zone is really that easy) so I hope you get the achievement.

Nice UI +the evn show

Thanks.

I am still going to keep up with this thread and fuss at you evn

<3

My guild disbanded and a handful of the raiders merged up with "good" players from the other 'good' guilds.

A bunch of re-rolls from the best guild on our server (alliance side, died on pre-nerf m'uru) and some people from a few of

the top-50 guilds on Wowjutsu. It's certainly a great group of people and I'm hopeful we'll be able to progress without dedicating our lives to it. A lot of people who didn't get invited are understandably ****ed off: it'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out over the next couple months.

One more week to go...

I had vacation scheduled to start on the 17th. I've got a week to level (and be lazy around my house) and then I'm spending 10-days at a resort in mexico: great way to recover from the 70-80 grind IMO.

Took a year, but I finally won a drawing.

20081111-kwa5xt8ntgkyp64pwdp6pcn1fb.jpg

Originally I wanted 5/5 Avatar with Belt/Boots of the Long Road and Staff of Immaculate Recovery

but never managed to win a chest from Kael.

Ended up going with 6/8 Absolution & Belt of Divine Guidance/Boots of Divine Light because the other

two set pieces don't match (they're intended to go with the Sunwell off-set stuff). I dug out Anathema

because it remains the coolest staff in the game. I'm not a fan of the Sunwell art style and I didn't

manage to win shoulders from Twins either.

I'll post pictures when it finally shows up.

If you want to install WotLK early and not have to wait until you have the DVD

Simply follow this link: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/dow.../InstallWoW.exe

Run InstallWoW.exe.

Select the last option for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Litch King.

Voila. You are now downloading and installing the expansion so you will be the first one in on the 13th.

*Note: I have done this and you can still log-in and play even if you still have Burning Crusade active on your account. File download size is 1.9GB. This will also reset your WoW back to 3.01, so you will need to re-patch back up to 3.03.

How could anyone even find that? I can't even access any wow page atm.

Have you done this? And if so, does it cache the installer files somewhere where I can back them up to use later, or does it just directly install? Because I'd LOVELOVELOVE to have the entire thing tucked away in a folder on an external drive instead of shuffling disks or having a bunch of separate installers for each release.

To answer - yes, I have done it this morning. :)

Also, it saves the ENTIRE installation DVD to your desktop. But ... it does install at the same time, so it will install into your WoW folder while also downloading the expansion to your desktop.

Good luck getting into the server when people start getting their copies of wotlk! gonna be hell on the 1st few days. im gonna wait for a bit until everything dies down a bit.

Oh come, it's not going to be that bad. Me and my friend started a BE on day one of TBC release and on Illidan which is one of the most crowded PVP servers. We never really had a problem getting in or leveling.

Does anyone know for sure if WotLK activation will turn on at 12:01AM EST or before? Keep seeing people saying this but never solid proof.

There was a Blue post on the official forums saying it was going to be up at 9:00pm EST or 6:00pm PDT. Can't link it right now due to their forums being offline.

The installer linked above is on a certain torrent site full of pirates. :p 7.8GB. Tons of seeders and leechers. Leaving mine on all night, install tommorow, so I just gotta put in key and ready to go. :)

Are you sure that's legit? The installer I linked is 1MB and is just a launcher to Blizzards servers to download WoW, BC, and WotLK. :|

Can upgrade your account assuming you got your copy early with the key. Now if I can only go ahead and get LK installed, and when I come home from Gamestop just enter in my code and I'll be g2g.

Appears realms are slowly coming up.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
