IRL ganking

May 2, 2007 at 22:18 · Filed under World of Warcraft

Electronics and computer video game chat can cause trouble. Please watch what you say to people online. PC games are just that, games.

Mexico City, Mexico-(MH)-Mexican World of Warcraft player Bronco Carson reported to local police on Saturday that 3 men broke into his home and beat his arms with clubs and smashed his computer. It was supposedly in retaliation for Carson stalking and repeatedly killing one of the attackers wife?s character during computer video game play.

Carson admitted to police that he had been ?making it hard for her to get far in the game.? He said that after repeated online threats from the woman, she sent her husband and friends over to his house to ?take care of him.? Carson later said that he had made the mistake of telling her where he lived and ?if her husband was man enough to just come meet me to settle this.?

2 weeks leading up to the assault he said he had been harassed by a few characters constantly during game play. ?I knew that I might be messed with in the game but I didn?t really expect her husband to come looking for me. I couldn?t have been more wrong.?

Carson suffered 2 broken fingers and a fractured wrist during the assault. They also destroyed his computer and entertainment center before leaving. No arrests have been made in connection with the assault.

Not much to say about this really… both the “wife” and the ganker are idiots. The ganker a bit more so.

On buying gold

April 29, 2007 at 12:12 · Filed under Farming, World of Warcraft, YouTube

The guys at BBC have made a very short story on buying and selling gold in World of Warcraft, with two very short interviews with a buyer and a seller. In the beginning they seem a bit scornful, but towards the end the clip seems positive towards buying and selling gold. Yuck! Read the rest of this entry »

Mt Hyjal Explored! (TBC version)

April 5, 2007 at 06:16 · Filed under Exploration, World of Warcraft, YouTube

I was looking around at YouTube today and came across a video where some guys named Flo and Benny are exploring the Caverns of Time version of Mount Hyjal.
For anyone who’s been to Mount Hyjal before TBC, this will be very interesting to check out. There seem to be some major differences!
What bugs me is that Blizzard just keeps re-using the same house/tower models for everything they do. Would it kill you to do some new stuff? -_-

If you’re interested in the songs, the first one is Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists and the second one is In Flames - Free Fall. Music I very much approve of! ;D

If you’ve never been there and you’d like to check it out for yourself in this video:

A bit of information; when the guy in this video pulls up the support screen to use the auto-unstuck command… that’s pointless. As you get over the edge of the mountain, keep to the right of the “normal” (but blocked) entrance to Hyjal and you can pretty much just jump over the invisible wall at one point.

REMEMBER: Being inside the zone is not allowed, you might get a warning, suspended or banned depending on the mood of the guy who nails you, if that should happen. That being said, anything you do will leave a trace in their logs. You can minimize your log impact by not taking damage/mounting/dismounting/using consumables/chatting etc etc. Also, try doing it during off-hours when there are fewer people who might do the /who-command. Be sneaky!

World of Warcraft updated, 2.0.12

April 4, 2007 at 09:06 · Filed under Patch Notes, World of Warcraft

Turns out WoW was patched during maintenance, a small patch for those of you who keep up to date.

Mac
- Improved memory usage and stability under Mac OS X 10.4.9 using multi-threaded OpenGL

Bug Fixes
- Attempting to turn in a guild charter with a signature from a player that formed his own guild will no longer result in an inappropriate error message.
- Using the customer support "Auto-Unstuck" will now trigger the one-hour cooldown on the player's hearthstone.
- Arenas - Players will no longer be able to see their opponents in the Combat Log of an Arena match-up before the game starts.
- Battlegrounds - Eye of the Storm: Players should no longer be able to exit the bubble before the match starts.
- Mechanar - The gate at the top of the elevator in Mechanar will now remain open while attempting the gauntlet and after Pathaleon the Calculator is killed.
- Caverns of Time: Old Hillsbrad - The Escape from Durnholde event will no longer break during the church part of the encounter.
- Various localization fixes have been applied.

It’s nice to see that Blizzard final fixes the Mechanar gate-bug. After several months no less, but who’s keeping track?

If you don’t feel like downloading the patch through the Blizzard patch system, I have a link for you. This is only for the EU version (english) though.

Sticky jumping

March 24, 2007 at 00:01 · Filed under Exploration, World of Warcraft

Back for a final update? Possib in this iteration of the site!
Thing is, I’m not paying for the renewal for two reasons. Two reasons I will share with you anyway. First of all, I’m just not enjoying the game anymore… I’ll get there again, it’s happened before. Second, COMMAND & CONQUER 3!

Enough of that though. To the exploration stuff, after all, this is what you came for, right?
Right. Short explanation:
You know about the wall walking? If not, google it. Basical you could walk walls in 1.9 or something as long as you did it right. Blizzard nerfed that. However, as I discovered a while ago, some surfaces at some angles are inherent sticky. Most surfaces can be scaled I guess, but some are easier than others, and some ways of climbing are easier to overview.
