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

I tried logging in last night and was unable, reset my password to find all of my 70's with zero equipment and zero gold. Banks all emptied...I was so upset lol.

Right before the release too. It will take about a week to get it all back so looks like i will be rolling a DK untill my stuff is back

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).

      As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

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

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
