Why does it always seem like my server is one of the ones that takes the longest? :cry:

Oh Burning Legion, why must thee be so cruel?

The boyfriend got me started on this only 2 weeks ago (our first time on WoW for both of us), and I'm already to the point of refreshing the Realm Status page for almost 2 hours straight, waiting for ours to come up. I never thought it would happen, but I've become a WoW-head.

Seems like ours is going to be one of the last to come up, too.

Is it possible to delete a character from an account with no subscription? I have a low level character on another account and want to use that name for another character on my other account, but I don't feel like paying a subscription just to delete it.

Negative. You could send yourself a scroll of resurrection however if you haven't used the other account for 90 days.

Ah. :/ Thank for the answer.

I think I'll try "begging" Blizzard Support, who knows, maybe they'll soft this out. Thinking of going like... "Look, here is the situation. Either you delete my char on that account, or I won't be not paying for this one also." :p

Even with all of the issues that come with patch day, my friends and I were able to do almost a full "heroic world tour" as we call it, where we run every single Northrend heroic in one night. I think we only missed Halls of Stone, but it was 3 AM and we were exhausted :laugh:

It was awesome, and I really like the new 5-man, Trial of the Champion. I got both Spectal Kris and Embrace of Madness from the Black Knight. I was not expecting that.

I love how Emblems of Conquest drop from everything too. I was able to pick up the neck and belt as well.

That's usually how it happens :laugh:

Everyone dropping off the face of the planet because they are hammering 5 mans? :p

I have to admit I've not even tried the new BG, WG or VoA. I've got to try the new 10 man tomorrow. The new 5 mans are fantastic though. Really enjoy the fights in there. Loot is really good. I need to do the new dailys but I've had such little sleep I've been too tired to try any of them! :(

Good patch considering I though it was going to be filler.

The new boss isn't in VoA yet. I'm hearing he won't appear till season 7 starts.

Makes sense... kinda.. I consider VoA a PVP raid as it rewards pve AND pvp gear. So to have it come when the new season starts is kinda fitting.

Is anyone else stoked about the fact we can now have both horde AND alliance on pvp relms? Working on my 3rd 80 got him to 60 now Im playing a horde toon on what was my alliance server >.<

Karnocks gear is generally good on my tank , Its all pre Ulduar though, As I don't like keeping to a specific time to raid I pulled out of my guild and try to pug as best I can. Most pugs dont need tanks on my server.

How is that possible? The demand for tanks is well. Insane!

Ofc no one wants Melee DPS, got enough of them but if you've even got scraps of gear people will be lining up to carry you through instances.

I've found (at least being a DK tank), is that all good upgrades I can get are from the end bosses or from hard modes in Ulduar, both of which my guild can't do. Meanwhile, a lot of other classes get a bunch of upgrades a lot earlier on.

Another problem happens when you happen to have all BiS from the previous Tier (like I do). A lot of the gear that drops early on might have a better score but isn't necessarily better. When you're doing these raids and instances and have crap gear, everything is an upgrade. :p

Decided recently to scrap my mostly custom UI and build my own from the ground up and this is what i have come up so far:

http://i28.tinypic.com/1z1w9c4.jpg

http://i25.tinypic.com/5oz91f.jpg

You can see Omen and the Party frame + raid frames in the first screenshot. But I have since removed Omen (Now using Skada for my Threat meter and Damage meter, so much less CPU intensive then Recount + Omen were) and disabled the party frames from showing up when in a raid.

I still need to adjust the bars the top and bottom in terms of height and textures and a few other bits and pieces.

It is very much a work in progress though :)

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
