You can do it through the WoW website, or the game launcher.

I've DONE IT! Thanks. It was super easy. So there is a WOW mount, FREE Diablo 3 game and automatic entry into the next wow beta. Pretty cool!

Ok so I cancelled my account last month and they still charged me for this month. I tried to log in to verify that I was cancelled properly and I can't get in. I went thru and changed my password, used the authenticator and I still cannot get in. Is this Blizz's way of trying to keep my business?! HRMPH! How the heck do log in to verify that everything is cancelled?

 

[Desiree]

Nevermind I am calling the support number when they open.

4.3 today......we all ready?

 

[st4rrab0vemybed]

as long as it doesn't kill my computer, i'm ready!

 

[dngnb8]

I hate their patch system. Every time I download, it resets my WiFi

 

[grahamfam3]

Am I? Yes. Is the patch? We'll see.

4.3 today......we all ready?

Thanks for the reminder! I have not had time to play lately, but with the semester coming to an end I may pick it back up.

YES!! I haven't been playing much b/c I've been sick. Plus my DH and I did some stress testing for SWtOR and it just put me in a **** about playing WoW. I can't wait to start earning all those new pets!! Plus I can finally activate the Purple Puffer TGC pet I got. Now I just need to find where I hid the card from my DH.

I'm going to log into one of my 85s to see what's up with the new patch. Haven't played any of them in a while.

There's a movement going on right now to repopulate the Alliance on Mal'Ganis and I rolled a Worgen Druid a couple of weeks ago to check it out. It's actually been a blast. The ratio was 24-1 Horde to Alliance, now it's like 19-1. The new guild that was formed to try this has about 900 or so members right now, with never less than 40-50 online even at slow times. Peak hours we get 150-250 on. Horde used to own SW on that server but we've actually turned back a few "For the Horde" raids and even won TB a few times.

The sense of community reminds me of Vanilla WoW. Druids at 52 in the past two weeks. The XP changes in Outland and Northrend will really help.

And I've only been ganked twice. Not too bad so far.

What server are you on?

I haven't been playing much. I mainly get on long enough to not get g-kicked for nonactivity and then when Darkmoon is in town, to do those dailies. My DH still raids, but I'm too into SW:tOR to put too much time into play WoW.

 

[emcclay]

I have toons on a few different ones. Lothar, Akama, and Kargath are where my mains are.

 

[dngnb8]

Im on Whisperwind. Level 25 guild

Although I have about 5k more HKs since I made that

 

[Dax]

I play on Undermine, run a small guild there, Level 6....

I realm transferred my old orc hunter from Drak'thul back to Undermine. He is now 85, and just got into the new Cata 5-mans...working on gearing him for LFR and maybe some PVP..

okies. We're on Kirin Tor. We went there b/c that's where my bil was. I have 3 level 85, but I only really play one now. When the x-pack comes out, I may only level 2 of them. It just really depends how into raiding in SW:tOR we are.

Okay I have a few more questions:

1-dngnb8 what is the name of your guild on whisperwind and is it horde or alliance?

2-What is "kiting" or "to kite" and how do you do it and when would you do it?

3-I got my NELF Hunter to L 85 before I knew she should have glyphs but I don't know how or where to get them?

4-How do all you pet collectors find all these pets? How to you find out about them and how to you actually get them?

5-When I am reading about you guys going thru a big raid or dungeon and you don't get thru it the first night, then you come back and finish it. How do you do that? Doesn't it just reset again and you have to start again? Like when you go in the Lich King Dungeon to kill him, I am under the impression it takes one session each to clear each of the underbosses-how do you pick up where you left off?

6-Where did you figure out where the best dailies are? Wowhead? Wowwiki? Wowforums? or word of mouth in your guilds?

Right now I am playing a little bit every day still deciding which class I like best. My first character is a hunter so I know that one the best.

7-Those of you who logged into Blizzcon this year, do you recall hearing an announcement that hunters are going to completely lose their melee abilities with the next expansion? Or am I imagining this?

Now a WDW comment: I am SO EXCITED because I am coming to the world this September and staying TWO whole weeks! Sept 8-22. My friend and her husband and me, myself, and I will be staying at the same resort (Port Orleans French Quarter) but I think they asked for a river view and I just asked for a standard.

I am so happy when another friend or family member becomes disneyfied (or Wowified). The first time my friend went to DW was with me last Dec and we stayed at the Contemporary. She has already been back last Sept with her husband and they stayed at POFQ. Now this will be her third time to DW. I think that's cool. Then you get the opposite people who say "Why are you going THERE again?" or my BIL "Disney is for little kids". Little does he know.....But I can't help those poor misinformed folks

I'll just answer the ones I know for sure.

2. I borrowed this from wowwiki b/c I couldn't think of the best way to explain it.

"The act of kiting, is a combat tactic of a player character keeping a mob or another player at a certain distance, usually out of melee distance but within ranged attack, and luring the pursuer toward your direction while dealing damage at the same time. When this strategy is used against an outdoor boss (Durn the Hungerer, note that this is no longer possbile) or any other similar type, kiting will take a significantly longer time, aside from your damage. This is a tactic best suited for classes who deal most of their damage from range and are weak in melee range. Mages and hunters are probably the classes who rely on this technique the most."

3. You can either get them from a guildie/friend and has inscription as a prof or on the AH.

4. There are many ways to get pets. Some you get through quest, faction rep, vendors, dailies, holiday events, special events and CE's, a drop of a mob, the Trading Game cards, and Ebay. If you are looking for a certian pet the best way to find it is to go to www.warcraftpets.com. They can tell you how to get every pet in the game, and if it's still available.

5. It depends on how you are doing your raids. If you are in a guild, and are doing guild runs, they should have set times and days to complete raids. If you are doing LFG, I think it is divided up into two parts (not totally sure b/c I haven't done it, but I think that's what my DH has said). LFG is easier than normal and you can get through it in one day (and with that I mean the newest content that ends in Deathwing).

6. Dailies for me depend on what kind they are. Like I do the cooking and fishing dailies. Then if I'm trying to get rep with a certian faction, I do those dailies. Also, I am doing the Winterspring cub dailies for a little while so I can finally get that mount. Also, if you are looking to get certian pets that are granted for having a certian faction rep, you can do dailies to help with that.

7. Basically. The way I understand it, is that we are loosing our stat sticks. Hunters loose melee weapons, warriors loose ranged weapons, and I think mages loose wands just for example. The positive side of that, and it has my hunter playing hubby super excited, is that hunters will no longer have a hit box. Meaning that hunters could stand in with the melee on a boss fight, and still be able to use their ranged weapon. You could be standing on the bosses feet and be shooting your gun (or bow, or x-bow).

I'm sure your trip will be a blast. We are planning one for this time next year. I want my bil and sil to come with us so my nephew can go on his first WDW trip. They are tryign to buy a house right now, so they don't want to talk about a trip until they are set in a new house.
