This may be true butttttttttt This is even more true. There is OCCASIONALLY an age difference between horde and WoW players, but maturity really isn't the problem. The biggest gap between the 2 is straight up personality type. People who people alliance because they're the good guys, or the pretty ones, and are complete ignorant of the world itself and are playing to be "defenders of the light and justice!" I'm all for letting people RP and what nots, but some people come into it with the most immature, ignorant mind-state and it carries over into everything they do and it's more common to find immaturity on the alliance side than the horde side because of it. BUT in the same light, it's way easier to find jerks/elitists/trolls on the horde side because of it as well. In my experience, anyway. This is interesting though: http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/12/22/the-wow-factor-page-2/ AND believable.

They get it at level 12 now. They get Avenger's Shield right at level 10. Funny you mentioned Nagrand, because this is the rogue: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/nagrand/worldrogue/advanced At least he equiped'em and didn't just roll need to vendor right? >_> This is a fact proven by science. No other starting zone even comes close.

I roll Alliance for the first time. I hit 15. I queue for an instance. I get deadmines. We kill a boss, cloth gloves drop. Gnome rogue needs on them. Opens trade with me. Puts nothing into window. Confirms trade. Trades me nothing. Pally tank pulls 100 mobs without righteous fury on. I pull healing aggro and die. Warlock calls pally gay. Pally calls warlock gay. I delete my alliance character.

iono. This doesn't install confidence when selecting a PvP realm: http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php?serverid=83

Draenei have the worst starting zone I have ever experienced and I immediately regret my decision to roll one.

SOOOoooooo I was going over the numbers, and apparently Gorefiend has an alliance to horde ratio of 1:10, where as Illidan has an alliance to horde ratio of 1:5. SOOOOOooooo we're going to Feathermoon. It'll be a nice vaca server, lol

Me and my fellow Illidanians will have to confer about this over the weekend. Also: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2305-Cross-Realm-Dungeon-Feature-Coming-Soon I'm sure you've heard this, but it's generally best to avoid the Valley of Strength whenever possible. Just be glad you don't have to try to log into Dalaran. That was THE worst.

That actually sounds like what's going on in the article, not the opposite:

Question: I know Illidan certainly isn't for everyone. So I was wondering if there would be any interest in making another guild, Alliance, on a PvE server? I've been wanting to play a Draenei priest ever since I first saw Badonk Also: A worgen anything. It'd take awhile to get established, but I think of the Illidan regulars setup shop somewhere else we could get stuff up and running pretty quickly.

So you're not going to fall for that one. Noted.

More fighting styles means more balancing means more work. I'd be happy if there was 5 characters and the game was totally balanced.

APPARENTLY Cassandra got a butt on'er, too.

Not to get off the subject, but the prediction is the world will end on December 21, 2012. So I'd hope the game is out by then. Count on it.

Looking forward to smashing all of you via the interwebs.

There's an opportunity nowadays to make real, loyal fans. Some people are always going to pirate music, but I don't think anyone doesn't know that piracy does not equal a loss of revenue 1:1. Just because someone downloaded your music does not mean they'd pay for it. The best thing you can do is make real, diehard fans so that they will always buy your albums, and tell their friends. The best way i've seen to do that is through local circles and shows. It's easy to get bigger if you are doing shows and don't suck, even if you're not headlining. You have to want money and work hard to get it. Neither is as effective without the other.

Sidebar: I have been to Texas 2 times, and both were very different situations. The first time I went to Texas I had a layover in George Bush Airport in Houston. As soon as I was greeted with a giant Fox News store, right in the airport with Fox News on no less than 6 giant flat screens. I soon noticed that about 1 in 10 people (which was a LOT of people) were wearing the same orange hoodie, which I eventually figured out was a Texas Longhorns thing. This continued throughout the entire airport. I got thirsty and started looking for a store to buy a Coke, but I couldn't find a single one. However, I did find 3 separate stores selling BBQ sauce. As I boarded my plane, I noticed the guy next to me was reading Sara Palin's book. So take that all as you will, it goes without saying that I walked face first into stereotype central. The second time I went to Texas it was a little different. I drove through with starla. As I past through west Texas the smell of oil fumes gave me a pretty bad headache, but it was interesting to see all the wind power they have out there. It was also kind of strange to see oil pumps in the middle of cotton fields o.o We went through I don't even know how many small (very very small) towns, ALL of which had a "Home of (High School Football Team)" sign. SOME had hand painted anti-Obama, pro-McCain/Palin, but I'd say I saw less than 10 total. When I got to Austin I was actually really surprised. Austin was like nothing else I had experienced in Texas. HUGELY urban, very hipster, just a pretty cool place, honestly (not that I'm into the hipster thing, but it was a breathe of fresh air). A friend of mine there took us to a nice local restaurant, I got a Lone Star Beer, had an excellent turkey sandwich. Afterwards we went to Austin's 6th Street which was...definitely a welcome sight. Even on a Thursday night is pretty pretty happening, and I went to some damn cool bars there. My experience showed me that Texas is FULL of grey area, and I feel like a lot of the bad reputation it gets is from the lower populated areas. I will say that a lot of Texas feels like another country all of its own. Texas stars are on everything (highways, banks, gas stations, McDonald's), and everything there is "Texas Tire Repair" or "First National Bank of Texas". Everything in Austin is "Capital of Texas (whatever)." Texas LOVES Texas. BACK TO THE TOPIC: I haven't even really turned on my Playstation since the outtage, now. My PC and PSN both died at the same time, so I've been unable to really get into Portal 2 with starla, and now I'm just getting more and more used to using my newly purchased 360 instead. By the end of May PSN may have completely vanished from my memory if there's not some super sweet exclusive PS3 title coming

Oooooo, I was hoping it would be something along these lines. A few months back my insurance company had their database compromised and I got something very similar from the same security company.

While not impossible, this seems unlikely, because servers have extensive access logs. While I agree that that file could've been left by anyone claiming such, Sony also said in their letter that the intrusion was made possible because so many of it's resources were already occupied combatting DoS attacks which anonymous was responsible for. So whether or not they were directly responsible for the attack, and whether or not it was on purpose, they did in some way aid the intrusion. Again, this is all he-said-she-said until anyone says otherwise.

That letter says they're also offering complimentary theft identity theft protection services. To what extent? This is the first time I've heard anything of this, and that's quite appreciated imho.

Hi Fred, While I respect you opinion, I do disagree with a few points, as there are a few conflicting statements present. Regardless, you may want to consider your tone when replying to threads. It comes off as quite hostile. This is obviously something that you feel very passionate about, but consider that you may be insulting something others are very passionate about as well. Thanks

Beat me to it. More direct example in the context you're looking for is in. Busy a Move which I'd link if I weren't on my phone. Edit:

you fix my fucking lock.

This is true, but if I had valuables stored in a bank, and they left 1 lazy security guard on duty with the vault closed but unlocked, and didn't tell me my stuff was gone until a week later...

Yes and no. The problem is they had limited lines of security. Once someone's in, that's it. There's no safe guard what so ever. They were so confident what they had in place was enough, that as soon as it was breached for the first time everything went to shit. Which is why now they have to rebuild the whole thing. That's why they freaked out when geohotz released the key.
