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).

    • 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. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      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

      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.
