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.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
