A dedicated online gamer for more than ten years now … I will buy just about any piece of crap developers throw inside a box and ship out to my favorite local retailer.
I have no credentials other than this: I play games.
You’re in my world now. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Never underestimate the value of subtle wit.
Over the weekend, I was passing through Ironforge (slowly, ever so lagfully slowly) when I ran into a naked, green orc corpse floating in midair by the Auction House bridge. Haha, thought I — I never tire of visual humor.
Then I looked closer. It was another player’s visual tribute to Scamsalot and the inexplicable delays in banning his rotten ass from our server.
Another hour or two later, I was again inching my way through Ironforge and the same player had made another visual tribute to Scamsalot, this time on top of the bank mailbox.
Well played, mystery Ironforge artist. Well played.

Can’t the Warcraft forum moderators have even one night of peace at home with their families?? Can’t they leave 1.5 million people unsupervised for one holiday evening without worrying that all Hell will break loose when the 1.5 million can’t authenticate and login? Can’t Hell remain contained for even one night?
In hindsight, maybe they should have left at least one guy on duty.
