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:

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?

    • 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.
