not debating that the person doesnt exists on a live server, and he probally does play on live. just either he wasnt on live when that was taken, or he was playing on a private earlier and the item ID that is showing, is not the liveID, but the PrivateID. aka he doesnt have a seperate WoW install for the private server, he just does the Serverlist hack to connect to the private

tradgedy is telling the truth well at least its not private server

go look up the names

Dergan

stormyknight

Cubbs

Kendora

Dergan has the exact same weapon on them (axe of frozen death) only know cause I use that same weapon

the Dergan is also level 70

its photoshoped though its a level 60 reqiurment... that and I have seen that exact weapon in other photoshoped pictures

it was actually a thread for photoshoping

but the character is actually on a live server and so was everyone else who was whisperd

Heh. This is turning out to be pretty amusing. I don't or never have played on a private server. Please note, I'm not saying someone hasn't used my computer to do so. My brother and a few others have used my computer to play a game or two. I know you'll say I'm just denying it. But whatever, it doesn't really matter if you believe me one way or another.

I mean, seriously, if I was making it up, wouldn't I be like "wow, this quest giver gave me this legendary sword and I totally pwnd all kinds of stuff with it." On a PvE server too, where it's even more useless..I'm not 12, I know that bragging on the internet doesn't win me anything.

Instead I said something strange happened to me while I was trying to do some quests and that a GM said it doesn't exist. Yeah man, that's totally cool, I'm going to run off to tell everybody I got something that is completely useless. I don't know -how- or -why- it happened, just that it did. Believe me or not, it doesn't really matter. I'm just kinda shocked at the reactions I'm getting. I thought this was some sort of screw up on Blizzards end, a bugged quest or something, sheesh.

Another thing, I talked to that GM around 8pm last night. I received the email at 7:27am. Good thing I wasn't waiting up for the email or anything. :/

I personally think that it's a bit strange that it's showing in your inventory and you've spoke to a GM, but it doesn't say that you received the item until after you'd spoken to the GM about it...

Because I was abandoning the quest and getting it again, hoping for some random reason to get the right quest item. You guys are too funny. Conspiracy abound with trag3dy and his completely useless legendary item that may or may not be real and may or may not be Photoshopped.

I guess it doesn't show in the screen shot but in between where I linked the item to the GM and received the item I abandoned the quest.

what bag mod is that anyway

sigh, just because the item is not on retail dosn't mean hes not playing retail. To me it looks like he has played on a private server and forgot to clear his cache.... this is what can happen.

I run a private server myself actually, and this happens when a server has an item that uses the same ID as a real item, thus when the player changes to retail, all the data received from the server will be old, from a private one.

That's what I think happened here, so let it go and let's move on.

Very nice, but ever thought of scaling everything a bit? With everything that big, feels like your screen would be extremly small. Maybe it's just me, but it looks nice, just way to big.

My screen is really small... It's 1280x1024. I like things slightly bigger I suppose. Don't have to strain my eyes or anything. Granted, everything would look better if it was in a higher, widescreen resolution like 1920x1080.

hey trag3dy, what big bag mod is it that your using there?

Combuctor. I think that's what you're after? It's a pretty great bag mod. The most useful I've found I think. Tabs on the side are for sorting items and it has a built in search to narrow a cluttered inventory down even more.

^^ I sound like a used car salesman.

I'm having an excellent time in Northrend. Just finished off Howling Fjord and it was a lot of fun. I still have to run Utgarde Keep... I usually play at night and there never seems to be enough people on, so I'll try during the day tomorrow.

I'm glad I signed back up, that's for sure :D

I can't wait to start questing in Northrend. I just started questing in Nagrand and it's better than Zangarmarsh, that's for sure. Anyway, what are some good UI mods for WoW? I've been using the default UI ever since I started playing.

Depends on what you want to do mostly. Do you want to completely overhaul the UI? Or just change the unit frames?

X-Perl Unit Frames are a very good default frame replacement if you don't want to tinker with it to get things the way you like it.

Pitbull unit frames if you like customizing a lot.

I like Bartender 4 to replace the bars. And ButtonFacade to make them look nice and purdy.

I could tell you dozens of other addons that I like but I think those are a good start for now.

Edit: Oh yeah, two really essential addons imo are QuestHelper and Lightheaded. Questhelper will help you easily locate quest objectives, while any that aren't very clear, you can look up in lightheaded wich gives you access to wowhead.com in game. Reduce your alt-tabbing by 90%.

Wow! Thanks a lot trag3dy. I'll give those a try with the exception of QuestHelper (I already have it). I'm looking forward to using LightHeaded as I always alt-tab out of WoW to search Wowhead. Anyway, there was a mod that I noticed in a couple of screenshots posted in this thread. It's a skin that makes it easier to read chat text. I can't find it at all nor can I remember the name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • 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 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.

    • 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.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
