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 )

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?

    • If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.
    • It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing by Hamid Ganji Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the way people research, get their news, and perform routine tasks has changed dramatically. Now, almost everything around us has a touch of AI, and companies are trying to embed it into nearly every product and service they offer. With that in mind, new research shows how Americans are actually adopting this change and using AI in their everyday lives. According to new research conducted by the Pew Research Center, 49% of American adults now use AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini. This marks a significant increase over last year, when only 33% of American adults reported using AI. Additionally, four in ten U.S. adults (42%) said they use AI tools to research information, while 38% said they use these tools to handle tasks at work. Entertainment, image and video editing, and getting medical advice are among the other ways Americans are using AI. Moreover, ChatGPT dominates the U.S. AI market, with 44% of respondents saying they use OpenAI's chatbot. Gemini follows at 24%, while Copilot and Meta AI account for 17% and 14%, respectively. Respondents also said that AI chatbots generally have a positive impact on their productivity and how informed they are. But when it comes to AI’s impact on society, Americans remain largely skeptical. About 40% of American adults believe AI will be more harmful than beneficial to society over the next 20 years. Additionally, 31% expect AI to have a negative effect on them personally. Another 31% of respondents say AI could be equally positive and negative. As for data security, pessimism remains high: 71% of respondents say AI will make their personal information less secure, while only 3% believe it will make their data more secure. American adults also largely lack confidence in both the government and AI companies when it comes to regulating and developing AI. About 67% of Americans have little to no confidence in the U.S. government’s ability to regulate AI effectively. Six in ten adults are also not confident that U.S. companies will develop and use these tools responsibly.
