Questions about recruit a friend:

1. Does it require all new Discs and CD keys?

2. Can i Just create an email? Send the RaF key to that email, and dual box without putting in any information?

The way the refer a friend works is you send them a RaF code and then they will have 10 days to play the game for Free at that point if they purchase the game and 2 Months paid game time you will receive the free month and the mount and other things however they have to meet those requirements first


  1. [1]Purchase the Game
    [2]Purchase 2 months paid game time.

RAF must be a new account but that doesn't mean the game has to be a fresh install and you can use a trial version for the first few levels without the need to buy anything.

To get the RAF recruited account past level 20, to accept trades, recieve mail, and remove all the other trial limitations you'll have to upgrade to a full version (which can be done online, without getting physical CDs).

So I was accepted into a guild to raid in as an Arms warrior. First time being DPS since, ummm level 60. Ya last time I DPS was when I protected an Holy Priest in BG's from my guild who was going for R14 (she got it toooo) and ran with another warrior as a dual warrior combo when he was going for it (he got it to) and same process for another warrior and a hunter.

So had to enchant, gem all the spare gear I had saved up when i was actively raiding on my warrior. Configure my bars, keybinds and way of tracking to work well with my UI (heroics helped with this). Still tweaking the UI as a fight. Think I got it perfect. Just one thing I'd like to fix.

In my UI I have my healthframe in the top left corner and I leave it there as I really didn't need to pay attention to that. But as an Arms warrior I need to keep an close eye on my rage bar so when I know to perform various abilites. Anyone know of an addon that I move my ragebar, but not the healthbar and ****? Basically just want a moveable ragebar, without having to worry about a big addon or all my other frames getting messed up. (I use blizzard default).

Basically just a bar to put right next to my classtimer bars to monitor my rage bar more efficently.

Well, I use RothUI for mine, with a number of alterations to better fit my preferences. I like it simply because I can focus on what buttons are off of cooldown, have my health and runic/rage/mana/etc focused around my buttons, and my target in the center, keeping my focus a lot easier than having to looking all over the place. It's a rather big step to change your entire UI, which I can understand.

Perhaps IceHud would be better to your likings? Your health/rage or whatever surround you, allowing you to keep focus easier. You can change the way the bars look too, and it doesn't replace your party frames and everything else either. I believe, haven't tried it though, that you could probably turn off elements you don't want. Though, you're probably want to pay attention to your health just as much. Nothing like getting killed by standing in fire or something... :p

Hope that helps.

Just turn the seals in and move to the next faction. You will keep the Champion titles, plus there are two Champion's Tent quests that overlap the Valiant quests so you can do them more quickly. (Killing scourge and jousting outside the Citadel)

I wasn't aware that you could do Champion and Valiant quests at the same time once you reach Champion with a City. I understand what you mean now.

Blizzard finally emailed me back today confirming my account was compromised and reset my password, but now when I login it says my account is banned.

This account has been permanently closed and will no longer be able to access World of Warcraft.

Good departmental chat there Blizzard :/

Now I need to email them again and it will probably take another week...

Tried going to World of Raids, to check on 3.2 patch progress and was greeted by a Trojan warning from Avast.

I'm not sure what this means, but I know i'll be staying off there for awhile, keyloggers aren't fun. So yeah, warning.

Btw, /wave Holyenforcer, you're in my guild. XD

WoR was streaming live feeds of PTR testing. What could have (and might have) was one of the feeds was compromised and since it was loading on WoR load, you were being prompt'd for that message also. I just checked it and had no prompt'd, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Been working on my UI. Classtimers is a good way to track how long a debuff/buff is going to stay up, but it doesn't do much in alerting me unless I keep glancing at it. So I downloaded TellmeWhen addon which puts 4 buttons (wondering If I can make it bigger), so setting that up and seeing how it goes.

Also got the G5 mouse today, so working on the right senstivity and weight for me as well as adjusting to it. It's thinner than my last mouse.

I'm leveling my hunter to 80, hes near 78 now, maybe I can make the push for 80 today when the servers pop up.

Definitely. Hell, I got 79 to 80 in like... 4 hours? And I'm not much of a power leveler at all.

Make sure you're doing the Argent Tournament dailies if you haven't started already. Also, make sure to do The Oracles quest chain in Sholozar and the Sons of Hodir in Stormpeaks. Long but easy chains. Should boost your level immensely if you haven't done either yet.

Yeah he hit 80 yesterday. Specced him survival since I hear thats the best spec now.

I'm not really liking survival, harder rotation than BM. I'm only pulling out 1800-2K DPS(granted Im not hit capped and decked in greens/blues).

I just got done levelling my Druid through Sholazar Basin in Northrend. Such a beautiful zone my new favourite in the game by far. I'm a really slow casual player I usually spend weeks at each level but I stormed through Sholazar Basin it was so much fun playing in this beautifully vibrant zone that I went through the whole thing in a few hours which is rare for me. I should ding 80 tomorrow.

Okay so my account was hacked, Blizzard agreed it was, said they'd reset it, then closed my account permanently, and now are saying

Please note, it is our policy never to reveal details regarding account investigations, beyond the information given in the original notice mail, for privacy and security reasons.

Okay, no more money from me Blizzard. I'm guessing that means my cd-key is also blocked?

What a **** up that is, you'd of thought they'd document security issues on my file.

Sounds like they are suspecting you sold it, rather than it was hacked - They won't tell you that but I've seen a similar case before.

If that were the case they wouldn't of emailed me a week earlier telling me my account had been compromised.

Greetings,

We have reason to believe that your account has been compromised using a Key Logger or Trojan virus which can be used to obtain the account name and password of World of Warcraft accounts used on that computer.

Clearly a communication break down within security. I even sent them a picture of my cd-key/drivers license.

You obviously have no idea how incompetent and inconsistent the support team is, my friend experienced something similar - His account was compromised, they returned his account but it was banned and they gave a similar response to the one you posted, he was told from a few guild-mates that's their course of action if they suspect trading of the account involving currency.

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless. A built-in digital processor adjusts frequency response to keep the sound balanced rather than overly boosted in any one area. They also include Active Noise Cancelling that adapts to your surroundings to reduce background noise along with a Transparency mode that lets outside sound in when you need awareness of what’s going on around you. Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content. Moreover, built-in voice-targeting microphones improve call quality. You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates. On Android devices, they support Google Fast Pair, Audio Switch between compatible devices, and Google Find My Device tracking, with additional features available through the Beats app. When it comes to the battery performance, it is rated at up to 40 hours of listening time with ANC turned off, and up to 24 hours with ANC or Transparency mode enabled. A 10-minute Fast Fuel charge should provide up to 4 hours of playback. Finally, the headphones use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charge via USB-C.

    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
