I'm pretty sure he stayed up all night last night playing and I won't see him the next 4 days. He got a late start on the game, but apparently he's one of a group of thirty people who are going to try to take down the top WoW guild.

WTF?

That is the pure definition of a loser....

i cna prob name which guild he is in if he plays on a US server, even then any guild is gonna have issues beating Nilihum (sp) and SK gaming now that thay have joined together

the fact the they get played to play WoW also hurts

because they are sponsored by a bunch random pro gaming companys, they take a very different approach to things over there

Some jackass already hit 80.

I'm SOOOOO impressed.

Yeah, after apparently getting a thumbsup from a GM.

I didn't look around for it much - did it say why they were banned? It seems to me they were using a well-established game mechanic. As happens far too often, how it's applied isn't as intended, but I don't see how the rules were broken, unless I'm missing something.

I see a lot of ebay auctions ending at 130$ or so...wonder if I should go pick up a CE quick, haha.

Friend of mine bought a CE for < $100 on eBay. Not sure what the final price was, but I think it was around $70. (he set his max bid at $100)

yea AFAIK it was not against the rules before, its the same way that mage IIRC got to 70 in 23 hours, tagging mobs and someone else killing them, he did not get banned.

i can unerstand why blizz did it tho, they want people to play the game not pseudo exploit zerg through it

I totally understand it too, it just seems... arbitrary.

As for zerging through it, they're usually of the mindset that as long as you're not botting/cheating or infringing on someone else's fun, you're free to play as you see fit.

Personally, it seems like an awful waste of the content.

That's nuts.

What an asshole... 13 hours to L80. I was just thinking about how long people will take to get to L80 during lunch when I went over to Target. Pff, whatever, it's gonna probably take me 13 months.

I don't know how much exp is required to go from level to level, or how much exp quests give, but I figure it'll take me a couple of weeks because I'm in no rush.

It took me a little less than a month to go from 1-70 on a new char on a new server. I did get 25g from a friend, but that went into bags)

 

[dartworth]

org is a ghost town and trade chat is dead...so strange

I guess I'll install wotlk now...

 

[CalvinHobbes]

I'm installing as I type this. Going to create a DK before I do anything else.

 

[Buttzilla]

wow, don't know how you guys do it. but alas, i'm using expansion as a clean break from wow...for the moment. been playing since preBC but with full time work and grad school i just can't keep up anymore. hopefully D3 will come out before i get the itch to reactivate my account.

have fun playing all. gonna miss my priest, got her to 4 piece s4 with s3 shoulders/weapons. but the thought of grinding all the way to 80 then regrinding arena for the 2 tier s5 gear is daunting.

 

[NaOH]

Just picked mine up at target during my lunch. The box art is bad ass (where you see arthas sitting on the throne).

 

[nageov3t]

is it even real? I take Athene with a heavy helping of salt.
