Blizzard Servers Buckle

Blizzard Servers Buckle Under Load of Returning Blizzcon Attendees (from the Daily Gaming News). Apparently, WoWarcrash experienced the highest login loads ever from November 1 through the recent Tuesday’s maintenance (and beyond?) I can confirm that lag, login troubles and queues have been unbearable lately. Have had at least two raids SCREWED because disco’d people couldn’t log back in for hours. Was Blizzcon a pep rally of sorts, or, more likely, a WARCRAFT BRAINWASHING?? Hmmm.

Ni Hao

True Story.

I stone back to World of Warcraft’s Ironforge and some farmer is pitching his haul.

So, I try out my newfound knowledge of Asian … maybe it’s Mandarin, maybe it’s Cantonese, maybe I dunno what it is. Still, I have skillz.

/tell KnownFarmer ni hao. [Item] gold?

/tell Foton NI HAO! (gotta give him credit for enthusiasm.) 50G.

/tell KnownFarmer 30G.

/tell Foton bie bie.

Foton says to guild, wtf is bie bie? Anyone? Cmon, you college people should know this.

*crickets*

/tell KnownFarmer 35G?

(Maybe that’ll work. What the fuck would I know?)

/2 TradeChannel hey, anyone know Asian anything? what does bie bie mean? Does it mean “go to hell” or does it mean “let’s dicker”?

TradeChannel answers, Asian is a language?

(I think … FFS.) Answers: Are you high? Of course not. Anyone that knows anything?

Of course not.

(P.S. Apparently bie bie means “Go to Hell”. Maybe it means “The offer price is solid.” You ask me, it means “Your money isn’t good around here”. Whatever.)

Warcraft, Oceania and You

WoWarcraft opens new Oceania servers, that is to say, the servers Frostmourne (PVP) and Khaz’goroth (PVE) have their clocks set at GMT + 11 hours to better serve players in the Oceania region. (omg noob, that’s the Pacific isles, Australia, New Zealand, etc. — that neck of the woods.) No, you can’t transfer your equipped level 60s there; you have to start all over.
