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.

Yup! Now I won't have to wait for the game to install before I play. Just upgrade and GO GO GO.

Servers are still down, though. :(

did the download & update with the official client. I'll patch tomorrow when I get the boxed copy.

Our vendors are giving away Season 4 rings/necks and some season 2 gear for 0 honor or points.

S2 weapons now cost arena points.

Some S4 weapons no longer have rating requirements

S4 shoulder rating dropped, other pieces have none or 1850 requirements.

Needless to say the vendors are completely nuts.

It's funny to just sit back and watch the stupidity: everyone knows this gear is replaced by level 73 and Blizzard will probably take it all away in a few hours (you certainly won't get to keep it, just like the whole "free tier 6" thing from way back in the day).

My friend hates me so much for getting the game early, he planned to one of those midnight events in the blistering Danish cold ( Goes well with the expansion? ), while I'm at home leveling my death knight with tons of crisps and soda :rofl: Even taking two days off, he have to get up early tomorrow.

The Blizzard online streaming install. They disabled the WotLK install. Boooo. (I got it finished before they did).

And yes it's going to be the longest day ever. Especially since the servers are STILL DOWN.

Ah okay and I agree with you, thankfully there is only 7 hours and 45 minutes left.

Though a major question arises ... Pizza or Burger for dinner?

Definately pizza. That way you have food for the majority of the night. With a burger it's kind of a one-time dealio.

I know it's pizza for me. :D

Man I'm stoked for tonight. I work in the mall so I need to run over on break and pay off my copy. Then lock up my store, go home for an hour and drive back to the mall. But it's all in a days work for my future Death Knight. I'm so happy to retire my druid for a while and level a DK. I've been wanting this class since I heard about shadow knights in EQ.

No it's stupid for this to even happen. For the love look at the revenue they generate on a monthly basis. Competence is not priority 1 at Blizz obviously.

Because you could so run a game that supports 11 million people with no problems..o wait you don't have a game do you?

Anyways, I for one couldn't care less about no playing on Tuesday, they'll give ya a free day (to you stingy mofo's) and for those who were so desperate to get on (you are an addict and I pity you), you need help.

10 hours to go till midnight. Got two school assingments I gotta do to be able to play all weekend. Stoked!

Are you traumatized enough to ask them to refund that $1 that you're out from the two days you couldn't play?

Go for it. (Y)

I killed Illidan one last time last night to close out the expansion. I'm gonna miss level 70 and my Tier 6 gear. Gonna miss all the raid instances from Kara to SW, even SSC and TK. I came into this game a year and a half ago shortly after TBC launched, I'd never thought I would see this much content. Hopefully I can do the same for Lich King and eventually kill him. Despite what people think, I do think TBC was a good expansion. It wasnt perfect no. I'm not a big fan of arena or how OP resto droods were but it did bring Heroics, kara, and (good or bad) easier access to purples.

However questing in Northrend(in beta) and seeing how beautiful it is, I'm confident that Wrath will surpass everyone's expectations. You get that "WOW" feeling upon seeing icecrown & dalaran and even stepping foot into Northrend for the first time.

How BC should have been! I'm pumped finally back to good art and some lore (even if it's lollore).

      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.
