I'm a WoW Pack Rat

I have problems collecting stuff in the game.

I still have the faded picture of Linken and his girl. I've been exalted with the Argent Dawn, but I still carry the commission. I have copies of each one of the gold coins in my bank. I have around 1300+ copper bars. I only recently had to give up my tier 4 set to get more bank space, and I have all 7 bank slots bought with 20-slot bags in each. I just converted my DK into a completely exclusive and professional bank toon, with two guild bank tabs.

And I still have overhead. Across the board. Oath, 5 alts, and a bank toon. All bank slots bought on each, 16-slot bags or bigger in all slots. THERE'S STILL SO MUCH CRAP.

I have a problem. I do my best to sell things I don't need.

They should have a WoW Storage Center. A place where, for gold a month, will just hold my crap. Or allow me to have a house somewhere in Eversong with a basement and/or attic. My Tranquil Mechanical Yeti needs a backyard to play in with trees and a fence.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has this problem. I have so much crap I don't know with what to do (eat that preposition trying to finagle that sentence).

I spend the day spring cleaning. In WoW.

An Actual Love Machine!

So I was messing around photoshop making a logo for my guild for fun. I decided to look around on the internet to see if anyone had a concept similar to mine and I found this:



How neat! :D

WoW stuff in the works. Still need to do my dailies today, though I'm feeling quite crafty. Let's see what that gets us.

I'M NOT DEAD, SERIOUSLY...

...but like anyone reads this aside from 2 guild members and occasionally Hydra, with whom I have a black market deal to shifts some factional pets.

Where have I been? I got this other game I play, IRLCraft, it's fun. I have gone out almost every night for the past month and a half. Last night was quite the punctuation to all the evenings and late nights. Today I just intend to play WoW, so mayhaps when a particular facet of the game tickles my fancy that I'd like to share, I shall.

Story INC! I've been fixing it to my specifications, not the rushed piece of crap I churned out in a night. I like it, and I think after people read it, they should take a trip out to Tarren Mill with me. :)

YEAH, WELL, I'M HOTTER.

:( Well I tried.

I'm Sure Battle.net Will Get Better With Time

So a few days ago after they announced the free Mobile Authenticator for Blizzard's Battle.net accounts, I thought, why not? Safety first, right?

For those of you who don't know, Blizzard has had in the works a way to consolidate their gaming library and security of their online registration and accounts for their loyal customers by way of their Battle.net system. In the past, the system provided for Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft players the benefit of having one online account handle per user for all three games. Revamped and back in action, Battle.net is really streamlined and severely easy to manage; the conversion from a WoW account to a Battle.net account is smooth and even has capabilities to put multiple WoW accounts on one Battle.net account. You can even consolidate your registration codes and ownership of Blizzard games on the account as well, making an interactive library.

The Authenticator is what got me. The idea of the security authenticator code generator started a few years back when online accounts started getting hacked, so Blizzard offered a service to combat this for just a few bucks: a keychain with a digital display. The keychain would display an 8-digit numeral that changes approximately ever 30 seconds working off an algorithm to generate the given sequence. The algorithm is attach to a certain identity code, written on the back of the keychain, and syncs up with your account when registered online. This makes it impossible for anyone who isn't you to log into your account. Recently Blizzard offered for iPhone and iPod Touch owners a download to a free application that does exactly what the keychain does called Mobile Authenticator.

My iPhone is now my key to WoW, but not without a price. Like most of Blizzard's exploits since BC, the system is flawed. Everything's rushed with them lately, and the Battle.net system still has problems during log in, keeping those that have a Battle.net account out of the connecting process to the server. The Authenticator works fine, but switching to Battle.net has kept me off the game for periods at a time. I'm still keeping my Battle.net account (not like I have much of a choice, it's irreversible), but I just find it annoying when I have to check internet ping just to make sure it's not me.

It's a neat concept and I like it when it all works smoothly, but on technical issues Blizzard needs to not rush so much for new advancements or content of the system. We end up with these fragments of awesome things but never the whole super-duper.

Blizzard, slow down. Gimme super-duper when it's ready, not this half-assed stuff. BEE TEE DUBBYA, How's 3.1 going? :D
