Maybe he was just messing with you.

Considering he said it was his raiding set, and was wearing it with pride,... I doubt it.

ANYWAY...

I have something I'm pretty proud to show off.. this isn't the epic part of it yet..

The part I'm REALLY proud of is Part 2, because I've learned how to use Adobe After Effects, and it.. it just looks fantastic.. I can't wait to show it off after it's done uploading.

what happens when you get the pride thing? i know i can turn into a gnome but where do i go from here? the quest ends and doesn't lead anywhere.

Once you get the FOS it's over till they release more stuff either before Cata or at Cata launch.

Gotta be 78 to do the final quest(s).

Did you buy one from this guy?

We've got a solid 5-man on the beta but really want a group to clear the raid instances (go go server firsts!).

If it's legit I bet he could make 150-200k this weekend.

Yeah I bought it from him. The thing about beta is character transfers havent worked for about 5 days now so the beta is rather boring until I can get an 80 over there. :p

How exactly did you manage to buy into the beta when the beta is not keys it is accounts? there are NO keys for this beta they simply add it to your account. did you get the guys whole account? if you did that is illegal.

Actually, there are keys - Loads of sites have been doing giveaways.

Yes they do giveaways however, the giveaway they just ask for your email address and they send that to blizzard who attaches that to the account tied to that email address.

Hi,

Beta participation is added to your account through a lottery of sorts and this will only happen if you used the Beta Opt-in option via our Account Management page, or if you have a invite code from a Blizzcon event. Invites are sent our randomly and access to any beta are now done so automatically, no key is ever sent to you via e-mail.

If you have logged into a website linked in that e-mail you received I would recommend you change your account password as soon as possible.

No keys are sent out for Beta participation for Cataclysm.

Read my edited post, it is keys.

Not to mention, Blizzard are very much against posting your account email anywhere - So it sounds pretty implausible that's the way they'd do it.

EDIT: These sites must be fibbing then;

Re: Win a Cataclysm Beta Key!

Where do we input the keycode?

Ignore me, put it in ADD NEW GAMe.

Can definatly confirm the keys work."

That must be code talk for account flagging done by Blizzard!

I'm ready to xfer servers. I play on one of the lowest servers currently and its getting old. Tortheldrin is my current server. I have 1 main and a low lvl alt with loom. So I can xfer the main and the loom easy.

Where should I go? I want somewhere where I can jump in with a top lvl guild and have them run me in heroics and such.

I'm sorry but your chances of being accepted by a top guild and have them run you through everything is probably not going to happen.

Not only that, but what is a top leveling guild anyway? You just need to switch to a balanced server with a decent population and join a leveling guild until you get serious and apply to a raiding guild.

You want a realm that is as close to 1:1 as possible, that would be my suggestion.

Thats what I wanted to say. Just worded it way wrong.

Any suggestions on servers? I was thinking bonechewer.

WoW's economy is driven by the players, you want it balanced, you balance it, I don't think it can sustain the same "structure" for a long time, you'd better off just to avoid the extremes, like on my realm (Hellfire-EU) people screw with the Glyphs all the time, selling them for 99g, and I don't know if people buy, but I see it all the time in weekend morning, and then it drops to normal prices by the time the weekend is over.

Those scam mails really do become more and more professional, I had a hard time telling this apart from a genuine Blizzard email: ( Yeah I'm kidding )

Batlte.net Account:

cause enormous players equipments and virtual currency stolen. This

severely damages the benefits of mass players, also causes our

/www.battle-changelogin ( I broke the URL, so people don't click ... Then again, you'd probably deserve then )

If your account passes the check successfully, we will send this

package of dynamic code protection card to you in the form of e-mail.

In 3 days after you receiving the e-mail, if you don't submit your

information, we have right to freeze your account, every player is

obligated to protect the safety of the account. You must work together

with us to be determined to crack down all the behaviors of destroying games

If you had already authenticator your account, please disregard

this automatic notification.

He said Spirit. 100% I did not misread.

My friend Wain, on another server is the best Shaman I've ever known. Consistently pulls the highest DPS of any Shaman I've ever seen. He used to play on our server.. the man was a BEAST with dps.

He's also the character who I'm modeling my characters Enhancement tree off of.

The best shaman you've ever known is in 251's and not even 12/12 on regular mode either 10 or 25?

    • Glow 26.10 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.10 changelog: New Features The bootstrapping algorithm has been completely redesigned. The software can now launch directly without requiring TS Preloader. As part of this change, the startup splash screen displayed during initialization has been removed. In addition, spikes in CPU usage have been eliminated, resulting in a more stable architecture with significantly lower memory consumption. The Microsoft Office detection infrastructure within the Operating System section has been enhanced. Additional detection support has been added for Office C2R (Click-to-Run) installations. Furthermore, the license status evaluation system has been improved, and the priority order has been revised as follows: Licensed > Grace Period > Other (NOTIFICATIONS, EVALUATION, etc.). Glow now includes preliminary support for Wi-Fi 8 technology, allowing more detailed information to be displayed for Wi-Fi 8-compatible network adapters. Glow now provides full support for Bluetooth 6.2. Adapters supporting Bluetooth 6.2 can be analyzed in greater detail and with improved accuracy. The disk distribution view in the Disk section has been modernized, replacing the traditional table layout with a new 2×2 card-based design. The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to v26.7. Thanks to the new custom controls, all Türkaysoft applications now offer a more modern and consistent user interface aligned with Windows 11 design standards. Bug Fixes Potential line-ending handling issues in the Office detection code within the Operating System section have been resolved. Additionally, the output format has been standardized to UTF-8 to prevent character encoding issues and ensure consistent data processing. Several stability and file management issues within the Debugging infrastructure have been addressed. Problems that prevented new log files from being created after Debugging was disabled, as well as issues causing debug records to be lost, have been fixed. File deletion and reaccess issues that occurred after file locks were released have also been resolved. In addition, a bug that caused newly recreated log files to remain locked after deletion has been eliminated. Unnecessary blank lines within debug logs and the extra empty line that could appear at the end of log files have also been corrected. A shortcut key conflict caused by assigning identical hotkeys to both the DNS Test Tool and the Donation page has been fixed. The DNS Test Tool can now be accessed using CTRL + Shift + D, while the Donation page is available via CTRL + Alt + D. Changes The service responsible for providing the Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider information in the Network section has been updated to use the ipinfo.io infrastructure. This change improves the accuracy and consistency of the displayed data. (No external requests are made while Hiding Mode is enabled.) Some terms in the Dutch and Korean language files have been updated to make them clearer and more user-friendly. [TS Updater] Before the update process begins, users are now prompted to choose whether they would like to view the release notes. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error. Download: Glow 26.10 | 1.8 MB (Open Source) Links: Glow Homepage | Screenshot | Github Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
