I guess to many people canceled their accounts and SC2 pre orders so they had to reconsider? They don't say they were wrong by trying to do this only that they had to basically cave under the pressure of so many lost accounts.

Aye, money talks I'd imagine.

I did, though it was the day the info was released and before I knew about it. I had my other reasons.

I did as well (My SC2 pre-order). Blizzard didn't have info about this though: our pre-orders would have been through retailers like ebgames or best buy,

there would be a fair amount of time between me calling up and cancelling and somebody in a position of power at one of those shops to inform blizzard.

I think the instant and overwhelming negative response probably had a lot more to do with the change of position.

Agreed. I doubt it had much to do with the probably relatively very small amounts of cancelled preorders.

Basically, they just took the path of least resistance. The people that were for it aren't really affected and the people that were against it get to sleep again at night knowing their precious name is safe.

I need help, I was trying out a new UI, and reverted to my old one. But now Bartender 4 won't display all bars. The bars in question are both enabled and viewable middle of the screen when 'unlocked' (aka moveable and green overlay) but when I lock the bars - they disappear.

Hello, my name is Lucas Gomez Estevez, I am 21 years old, I live in Heredia, Costa Rica and I go to Universidad Latina. I would give you my old USA address but I don't live there anymore, so it's not worth it.

I'm scared now, internet killerz will killz me nowz.

Your about a week late to the party.

It may seem funny... But think about it for a second, okay?

And then in 6 months time 'Anyone in your guild can see your real name' and then 6 months later 'Your player Avatars are now your real name'.

It started with a Friends list. People you added to your friends list could see your real name. Then anyone on your friends friend list can see your name, now anyone on the forum can see your real name. What's next?

You need to look at the big picture.

Only people who you have given your email too get to see your name. Just adding to friends list does not grant you their name. This is a paranoid attitude and to leave before anything of the kind is even talked about is over the top.

I hope we can all forget about this Real ID nonsense someday and get back to good ol' WoW. It's nothing more than a overblown attempt to draw in teens, tweens and "twits" (i.e. Twitter users). That, and the inclusion of Facebook pretty much makes it dead obvious. I guess it's cool they're trying to rake in more players, but they're going about it all wrong. Pretty soon, WoW will just be a buzzword instead of an actual game.

I find Real ID pretty useful since I actually have real friends on WoW that aren't necessarily on my realm/faction.

going to re-register later,

I'm still on my 1st character level 55 or something, human worrior.. can anyone recommend any good add-ons? what was that map add-on that tells you where to go next so it's easy to find quests n stuff?

TomTom is a GPS style addon that will put an arrow for you to follow on your screen. As for quest helpers, some people use QuestHelper, some use Carbonite, I used to use QuestGuru.

    • This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).
    • Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
