I`m glad its on the inside, my toe was bruised for weeks after I dropped the 360 psu on my foot. If you happen to move your console around a bit its a blessing, and the external psu is one big dust trap.

Here in ireland its free to preorder and in many cases you get rewards. I dont get how they can get away with charging. Here they see it as a boon, because they will have more of an idea how many copies they need to order and it will prevent being understocked or overstocked

Cry more tbh, if you havent noticed by now, the game is heading a more casual direction, and its all the more better for it. Thankfully holidays like this used to be the only easy source of gear outside of 10 mans (and the badge grind, but boy used it be slow).

Funny thing is though, there isnt all that much in this event for joe casual either, toc heroic drops higher ilevel gear, of course it fills the other ring slot nicely. Helm is probably the same as toc normal (but pimper! ) Sword isnt on par with the toc heroic mace. For me its pretty much hoping for the mount drop.

Maybe there going for the fastest gaming notebook you can actually carry. Laptops like this are appealing to me, as they are actually laptops and you can take them around to a friends house without a fork lift or feasibly carry through an airport.

Honestly I dont get the appeal of 19" gaming laptops with desktop processors and dual sli cards etc. How can you expect such hot electronics jammed into a tight space with poor ventilation to last any long period. Not to mention the 30 minute battery life and lap searing heat.

How is it anything less "real content" than wotlk ? Its still interesting new players, and you have probably done at least both wotlk and outlands at least once.

I dont mind that so much really, arthas is supposed to be a powerful enemy, theres nothing wrong with the idea that somebody would have to go strengthen themselves instead of going straight at somebody.

Just like be / draenei in tbc, the problem is you get through something shiny and new, and dumped back into the mundane if you have levelled before

Its kinda of interesting, I was thinking there might be an alternative path if they are going to change the continent, why not just boost xp enough to bypass most of outlands ? Then again, its well worth a new players time to go have a look.

So, this is why everybody should get an authenticator as was stated in an earlier article. Dont get me wrong, I`m sure its a once off, but I think mandatory authenticators are far too much hassle for those who are careful or willing to take the risk.

Lets face it, the best way to gear for a raid these days is ToC normal until you have everything, then run toc heroic every day and a few other heroics in between and jobs done. The wg loot is pretty good however to get you started solo wise

I agree, I dont want an authenticator. I travel a bit, and I switch to using a laptop in such a case. I dont want to be left without wow just because I left my key behind. Likewise if I am going to a friends house. What happens if it gets broken, I guess its no wow for me for a few weeks while i wait for a new key and for the whole thing to be sorted out.

I have been playing wow for 4 years now, not once have I been hacked, its very simple to avoid it, install AVG, install firefox and noscript, and use your brain when your opening files and browsing the web. I dont want a massive inconvenience to be forced upon me because people are careless, or in some cases just unlucky. Being hacked now isnt a massive deal, GMs can restore your gear quickly. Finally, the authenticator isnt fool proof either, I have seen articles about keylogger sites that simply request your authenticator token as well. As this is valid for some time after you have entered it, all they have to do is log in once and mail off your gold.

Fortunatly I dont think blizzard would ever do such a bone headed move, it would be a lose/lose for them, if they make them free, it costs them a small fortune. If they charge they loose custom, and in both cases they lose custom to inconvenience.

I would love one of those loot cards :D
