You never stop playing WoW. You just have long breaks.

 

Same with me and Eve Online. Last break was 9 months...

[rich_tech]

thats the quandry I am in, I have 10 85s over 3 servers, though I wont be playing on outland anytime soon (three hour queues to get on there), but thats my problem, I think I spread myself too thin and get distracted a bit too much by other classes, so I am contemplating rerolling just a single character on a server here at the moment and seeing how I go.

 

Only thing I am having trouble finding is a horde based pvp server with a decent amount of population that has a predominantly english speaking community, as theres a fair few "unofficial" foreign language realms which you can mistakingly join and you wont join a guild or get groups unless you know the lingo, at least when I was working through wowprogress yesterday and the forums to try and establish a basecamp for me

 

Its also hard finding a playstyle for a character at the moment that I enjoy, I used to love a shadowpriest up until cata where we were made a bit garbage, and it seems that blizz has had a bit of a penchant for completely redesigning character playstyles with each expansion too, I think I will give it a go though, just gonna hold off a little bit here first until I decide where to reroll from.

After being hacked twice in the space of a week, even with an authenticator and sinking FAR to much time into it I have "officially" quit forever!*

 

*Until the next time I get bored lol!

wut. How'd you manage that?

Wasn't there an issue with Blizz authenticators towards the start of D3? I vaguely remember reading about alot of D3 players being hacked even with Authenticators, may have been in WoW too.

Quick glance, looks like they got their hands on the auth key data, granted, this was the US servers, but something may have affected EU too.

[rich_tech]

aye, you can restore data onto any key app if you have the restore details, its designed for restoring your key if you have to reinstall the app on a phone, I had mine in a safe place, but it appears blizzard didnt

 

Probably worth removing and readding a different authenticator to your account in light of that hack, I know my friend got hacked as a result of blizzard getting hacked (he never bothered with any power levelling/gold services and isnt "tech dumb") so regardless of their official line people in UK were affected.

~The more you know.

 

I haven't even looked at my WoW account in ages... My authenticator is in my battle chest box. [i hope it's not dead...]

If you think WoW is addictive, Crittermon is even more addictive once you get a few matches under your belt!

 

BRB sending my Wolpertinger "One Too Many" to headbutt squirrels across the screen.

 

And his partner in crime is a goldfish in a floating water bubble nicknamed Mista Chips! (Yes you can rename companion pets now!)

I'm running a Personal World Destroyer (to the envy of most of my RealID list for some reason), a Nether Ray Fry and I'm trying to decide on a third. Currently using Peddlefeet, but I have a few to choose from. I just hit a 25 win streak last night ;D

Pet Collection

 

Feel free to add me on RealID for some battly goodness. Draike#2590

 

 

As for the Authenticators, mine's a digital one on my iPod, I'm probably gonna swap to the windows phone one though.

[CAM]

I scored that one easy! Just run around the lake at Stormwind beating up the critters with a Beast attack. (See: Headbutting Squirrels).

[CHR1S]

wut. How'd you manage that?

 

No Idea, GMs and support didnt have much clue either! Both times I was restored, new passwords etc but just suspended my account after the second time.

Both times were gold hackers as I had a fair chunk saved and both times that's all that was taken and transferred to a Lv 1 mule via post.

[X-13]

I swear... The more I read this thread the more I think I'm going to end up playing again.

 

 

I blame you, @CAM.

[AlynLaughlin]

aaaahhh pandas....yes i did get my collector's edition on time, and I even got to play last night

 

Pet battles were fun, a welcome distraction from the thought of leveling my 4 85s to 90. I know I'm addicted and I really don't care

I prefered to try to at least make it a little difficult, level 3-5 critters, aquatics and mechs around Westfall. Got some of the progress from the battle quests too. My Nether Fry takes them out pretty quick

[LiamH]

Currently running lil XT (pet store pet that i won via a in guild lottery) Peddlefeet (mainly due to the bonus vs critters which there are a lot of) and i swap out the 3rd depending on what i'm fighting, Neather ray for mech's ect, or just any new pets i get that are a good quality level to see what they do.

I hate you guys... I just started looking at WoW subscription cards...

 

So. Much. Hate.

What're you buying?

 

I get my sub cards through a site called MMOGA, known for various gold selling activities, good for buying games and game time through though!

I prefer to pay for my WoW Sub using my Visa now.

Why didn't I think of that as a name?!

I ended up settling with Boraicho as mine.. too much Mortal Kombat methinks

[X-13]

Because you aren't as random as me or my family?

 

 

All the time I was playing all I could think was "I'm considering paying to stare at panda butt..? Wut."

 

Also, I need a new laptop... I have it on the lowest setting and I'm still only getting ~15fps

While the family may be random at times, I don't think they're able to come up with names like that

 

Luckily I'm on a desktop so I don't really have an issue with my frame rate since I stopped attempting to play on day one, I was hitting 19fps from my usual 60. I didn't enjoy it in the slightest. Still not maxed out though, hitting around 40 atm with my crossfire disabled.
