Entire Cities In World of Warcraft Dead, Hack Suspected
Slashdot ^ | 10/7/2012 | hypnosec

Posted on 10/07/2012 6:53:05 PM PDT by vbmoneyspender

"Entire cities in the World of Warcraft have been destroyed with no one spared, not even the NPCs. About 13:00 GMT, forums on WOW started getting the first comments from users regarding players and NPCs dying on the Ragnaros-EU realm in Orgrimmar. Users of the online game started reporting that Draenor had a similar sight to offer. Some of the other realms where this was reported include Tarren Mill, and Twisting Nether."

Also at Joystiq, and (with more screenshots) at WCCF Tech, which reports that "it appears the damage is most severe in World of Warcraft European servers."

Actually, the song that came to my mind is

[or the entire “Fire Of Unknown Origin” album, for that matter]

;D

Thanks....I went to joystick? and read to see what that meant.

Someone there asked the same question and replies were that
it was lazy to even ask. That’s a tough crowd.
I read that they will have virtual carts to haul off the
virtual dead. How touching.

I think it’s hilarious that people who trash ‘adults’ playing WoW or other online games will think nothing of sitting and watching Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or weekend / week after week of sports on TV.... that requore nothing but beer and drooling as they stare at a screen with their brain shut off.

Glad to see you in your years have put them to good use stomping the stupid ;)

We get news from the virtual worlds now?

Oh, I'd say we've been getting a steady stream of such reporting for the last 4+ years. Like the world where Obama is competent and smart.

62. Far too young. He had just retired the year prior. Of course, I am not blaming the game for his heart attack, as he lived an unhealthy life-style. Sitting at the same spot in front of several computers for many hours playing computer games is certainly a contributor, as much as lack of excercise and poor diet. I had spoken to him a few days before his death and he said he hadn’t slept in his bedroom for weeks, opting to fall asleep on his sofa in front of his computers.

I categorically despise everything in your list.

Now what?

Buy a pro soundcard for your computer, get a couple synth programs and a DAW (music workstation), a midi keyboard and make music to entertain yourself.

Works for me ;)

That was my first thought. And because Obama’s phone is off the hook at 3am, it’s not a comforting thought.

It was.

Frazetta let them use his "Death Dealer" and "Dark Kingdom" paintings.

You probably recognize this from "Flirtin' with Disaster"

I have a fortune in art supplies lying around.

Can I just paint, instead?

LOL
