This statement is just about my opinion exactly. Mistakes were made as early as the very first expansion. HUGE frickin mistakes, not some "Oh ballz, THAT shouldn't have happened, we'll have to hotfix this asap"..... kind of mistakes. Things then proceeded to go downhill at a rate nobody would ever have imagined. In spite of this, WoW's popularity continued to increase for some years (imho this was simply a product of just how amazing the day 1 release was & it positively influenced total user base for years) The WoW of today is so vastly different from its original form i genuinely consider it an entirely different game, one which i simply cannot play :( But as you've said, if Blizzard did release Legacy servers it'd be way too close to admitting that over a decades worth of creative output from their team has amounted to.......ummmm.....ahhhh......yeah, right :/

Damn, that totally sucks then :/ Thanks for filling me in though

Lol'd hard at this :) Although not an identical situation to yours, i too have finally found time to play some WoW today & cannot for the life of me make it past "Authenticating". Bad timing or what? :(

Yes, the Elite Giants are indeed roaming Desolace. First time i saw one i was on an Escort Quest! After changing my boxers i spent some time following the huge lump, great stuff imo & yet another thing id completely forgotten about!! :O

Im REALLY sorry to hear about this . Unfortunately these type of games tend to bring the BEST & the WORST out of people, this time around you got the shitty end of the stick :/ I am however, EXTREMELY interested to hear the GM state that "So far, 100% of the cases ........ " they've investigated have been found conclusive & the guilt is proven. That's sick!! Seriously, ZERO innocents?? Lmao, sounds like im playing with a bunch of &***&^%%

How the heck can some people STILL be so dumb? The entire "Gold Selling/Account hacking" issue is known by EVERY player on the servers, PvP & PvE and HAS BEEN KNOWN for quite a while now!!!! Ive had numerous players on my FL & in my Guild have their accounts hacked & Gold/Items stolen. However, where they differ from the majority of people who post here is that they THEN change their account information immediately! Its NOT rocket science ffs!! Nowadays i dont hear about anyone getting hacked tbh, & imo thats due to tightening of security on personal accounts. Also, if you find yourself PERMbanned, then create a new account. IF you love the game half as much as others do (myself included) then this shouldn't be too much of an issue. Heck, one poor soul lost a Lv60, 55,48,42, 34 & a new 16, just coz of the "usual" (same password used on other server :/ ). He's back immediately rolling a new toon with a , & i qoute " I aint letting no (insert expletives/racial slurs) ruin my WoW experience, F*&K Em!"

Im more surprised as just how F*&K*&G entitled you obviously feel you are !!! Holy crap, are you being serious??? You spoiled brat, wake up ! Im soooo glad Elysium IS infact permabaning people like yourself, it'll make the realms a much more enjoyable place for the rest of us :/

Nice one mate :0 I honestly thought it was just a bug, thanks for the clarification :)

Thanks for such a fast response mate :) I was like, "Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggghhhhh, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" You've put my mind at rest with that 1 sentence of yours :0

Ummm, Is there maintenance atm???? Ive only just woken up & the game DC's me on trying to enter :/

It WORKED!!! Thanks loads mate :) Now i know what to do if my client messes up in the future :) Ive not gone & checked the original offending gnome back in the Stonetalon Mountain zone, but im almost certain he'll be fine again now too

Thanks for such a speedy reply "Riplip" :) Im just about to go & try what you suggested mate, hopefully it'll work! I'll post here with an update

So earlier today i was in the Stonetalon Mountains zone completing the "Fire-Hardened Hauberk" Quest for my warrior. On the way to the place where the neccessary mobs spawn i dropped by a gnome to hand in a Quest or two. At this point everything was as normal. Once i finished farming the required drops for the warrior quest i started to make my way back up North to the Flight Path. On my way though i decided to take a "look-around" as this is my first time back in WoW since the initial release. I stumbled on a "shortcut" to the gnome i mentioned earlier (as i couldnt remember if he , or the Night Elf npc near him vendored & i needed to sell to clear my bags) which took me past an Orc encampment. For a laugh & genuine curiosity i decided to drop down into the Orc place & try & run thru!! Lols... i promptly got myself "jumped" by npc's & killed :) Lesson learned i raised my corpse & ran back to the gnome as fast as possible , lols. NOW, when i got to the gnome i noticed his nameplate's background was now showing red. I didnt even give this much thought at this time, not until MUCH later, when i was back in IronForge & attempted to accept & hand in some Quests. I found that not a single gnome will let me interact with them regards Quests. Ive tried Googling this but cant find anything. Can someone PLEASE inform me as to how i can fix this? I kind of understand what's happened, although as to how its happened ive no clue at all. No combat was performed anywhere near the gnome in Stonetalon Mountains, im assuming its somehow related to me getting aggro from the Orc Guard npc's, & the gnomes are being speceist, lols. No, seriously, is this a bug? How the heck has this happened? Im glad ive finished the main Gnomeregan Quests, but if im unable to interact with any Gnomes for the remainder, i reckon id just quit this character tbh, & i REALLY dont wanna do that. Thank you in advance for ANY replies. Someone whose played a looooong time should have an idea of just how this has happened, & then hopefully HOW to fix it :) EDIT: Im on the PvE server & my reputaion is about 1K short of revered with the gnomes (unchanged i believe) Every other race im Revered with.SW almost halfway to the next "Level" (Exalted is it?) P.s. The gnomes don't actually attack me or anything. The only difference is the nameplate is red & i cant accept or hand in any Quests :/

Its flying around that this is due to yet another DDos attack. Whatever it is, its sucks for the player base as a whole. I, like many others have given up for now. I really hope things are more "normal" tomorrow when i login :/

EDIT: I ended up doing a clean install & everything went back to normal. Its been fine since. I will add however that the gold spammers seem to be FAR LESS than before, so maybe it was worth being "cut-off" from chat for a while :/
