I had a phone call from Mother in Australia this morning. My youngest sister’s eldest son (he’s 10) is in hospital, diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease (which has nothing to do with motorbikes!). He started to get ill on Saturday and progressed from sore throat to swollen glands in his neck to fever to rash and…

When raiding isn’t working, we’re wiping too much not signing so that the group has even less options and is getting even less progress is massively counter productive. That is all.

Been pondering and I think I’ve come up with a reason for this apparently stupid change which has no visible driving reason, no screaming customers, no mega threads on the official forums (or indeed on blogs) about how terrible it is to keep entering the authenticator numbers. Nothing which really explains why they’ve made the…

“Intelligent l0gin” apparently, the system is checking that you are consistently coming in from the same IP and then deciding whether to ask for the authenticator or not. http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=24660 Need to ponder this one.

Now, I’m coming to this late.  Somehow I completely missed this, though I have to admit to not being a close follower of PA.  Their fault for not having an RSS feed the last time I checked their site (though I see it’s been added since).  Anyway I’m rambling. Firstly let’s have a bundle of…

Continuing some ponderings on the whole Exalted screw up, and adding new titles is not the problem. Achivements as implemented were fundamanetally flawed from the word go, technically the implementation works, add some additional database fields, track what players are doing, flip flags in the DB from false to true, increment counters, award flashy thing…

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2046835986#4 In 4.0.6 an unannounced change landed which removed “Exalted” from anyone who had the original achievement, requiring that a total of 50 reps are now needed. So, why bother grinding all those reputations to re-aquire a title which had been awarded before? To be honest I cannot see a reason, in the history of…
