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.

    • 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.

    • Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
    • 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.
