World of Warcraft

Still can't get on and no fecking word back from Blizzard ! :nono:

What the feck is going on here ? Anybody know ?
 
Lads I need your help on this one. Do you think my account has been hacked ? I have tried choosing "Merge WOW account" but when I log into this it says my user details are incorrect
 
Have you had a message in game prior to this happening saying something about your account needing validating.....something thats led you onto a official looking WoW login to verify your details or character name?

If so, that's a phishing scam and yes you may have been hacked.
 
No not that all, but I have found something interesting on the forum. It reads the following

Hi,

The error message "There are no World of Warcraft accounts associated with this Battle.net Account", after merging your WOW account to your Battle.net is largely down to connection to the wrong service.

With the game closed down locate the following \World of Warcraft\Data\enGB\realmlist.wtf on your system, this file tells the game what service it should be connecting to when you make a request to verify your account details.

This file should save the following information only.

set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist eu.version.worldofwarcraft.com
set realmlistbn ""
set portal eu

If this file contains anything different, please update that file to reflect the information above. Should you have made changes it might be a good idea to also delete the WTF folder located in the root World of Warcraft directly as this will clear out all your pre-configured settings and clear out any that could potentially cause trouble.


When I followed the suggested \world of warcraft \ data \ enGB \ realmlist.wtf I notice that instead of enGB it says enUS and I don't have a realmlist.wtf file. This explains why I'm getting the message that I may be logging into the wrong realm. No idea how I ended up with a feckin US login
 
Got it working in the end. WOW contacted me via email. For some bizarre reason I had the US client. It's odd because I was playing the game fine 6 days ago. In any case it's all sorted.

Any of you lads fancy coming on and giving me a hand to level up ? :D Would be much appreciated. There is also an instance in Blackrock mountain I'd like to do but amn't strong enough solo.

I've pre-ordered Cat and I'm in desperate need to get to 80. At level 55 now

Once you get to level 60 you can learn to fly and that makes questing so much faster.

I think the new expansion is out on Tuesday so in a few days you'll find a ton of new characters levelling up. Will make finding groups for dungeons really fast for you.

I'd help out (i'm gonna get the expansion and dust off my Rogue after a few months) but i'm on another server and another faction. For the Horde!
 
I reopened my account yesterday :D I'll go shopping in a few minutes then come home and waste the rest of the day levelling a troll druid or tauren paladin.

I'd choose the druid but everyone is levelling a troll druid right now.
 
Is anyone actually online now?

I reset my Iphone recently and forgot I had an authenticator on it and the Blizzard support line is very busy so I could do with someone opening a ticket for me.... please?

If anyone can do this, can you PM me please? I'll reward you with some gold once I'm back online.... goes for you aswell newbies reading this :)
 
Isn't it about time you all stopped playing this?

If you can talk to a GM, you can say that a friend of yours has an authenticator on their account that they cannot use and they will remove the authenticator.
 
fecking queue ! :mad:

My game is in the post but I've finally made it to outlands and am enjoying the quicker levelling. Currently number 1,052.

This is like the feckin immigration office on the Dublin quays
 
An hour in the queue and another two hours to go :lol:

To think I paid an extra fiver to get it guaranteed delivered today and I'll barely get to play it tonight anyway.

What number are you in line ? I wonder do some servers cater for a larger quantity of accounts ? I'm on Silvermoon.

747 places to go

IIRC... You queue to log in to the WOW servers rather than individual servers?
 
I should be in before the United game. I'll leave myself in and wait until I'm knocked off but still in the game. Then all I have to do is enter world.

Or so I hope. I think that's the way it worked last time

If your going to do that, go into a room and walk into a corner facing the walls and press caps lock so you are running against the wall.

When the servers are busy, the auto disconnect from server time when you go afk is cut right down to a minute or two.

Right. But I thought that when you get logged off it brings you back out to your character page where you can re-enter world without waiting.

Also, why Caps lock ? Caps lock doesn't do anything in my game. Do I have to allocate it to do something ? i.e Run

Yeah but again, the auto disconnect time for even the character selection screen is cut to just a few minutes when there is a queue to log in.

Caps should "auto run", if it doesn't you can assign it to do it.

EDIT - numlock.
 
I also notice the closer you get to zero the slower the count down is. Might not make the 'enter world' before the United game starts
 
I have yet to manage to get on and play since Cataclysm was released. So now I'm sat at my computer waiting in line again :rolleyes:

When will the queueing system dissipate ? Can anyone speak from experience ?

My copy of Cataclysm arrived today. Suppose I could install that but not much point considering my level of 58

Can't speak for WOTLK since I'm a latecomer to that, but for the BC there were at least 2 hour queues for at least a month after launch on my server. Only time I was able to get on within 15 mins was if I played really early mornings.

:lol: There are always queues when an expansion comes out. Back in the day in vanilla wow though there were 1000 person queues nightly on my server because it was on of the original WoW servers before they added a bajillion of them. I remember raiding and the server crashing mid boss fight because the servers couldn't handle the stress. Also, we formed a 200 person raid on Ironforge that crashed the Eastern Kingdoms server for an hour. :lol:

That was when the only AH was in Orgrimmar/Ironforge so no one was ever in the other cities and everyone was in Org/IF. Then you add on the 40-man raids and there's just a huge concentration of people in those cities and in instances. It was still the most fun I've had playing a video game. Everything still felt like an achievement back then...

I won't be buying Cataclysm though. I've been clean for almost 3 years with only one 3-4 month relapse. I'm getting nostalgic though...:(
