Agreed, there are major problems with your WoW folder. How are you even launching WoW without WoW.exe of Launcher.exe? In any case, this problem (missing Addons button) can be caused if your WoW folder is located in C:\Program Files. Did you perhaps move it before you posted the screen shot?

There are two options at the bottom of the logon screen in Control Panel on the Elysium website. One is "Forgot your password?" and the other is "Recover your Nostalrius Account". Are you choosing the correct option?

Ditto

You may need to contact your ISP. I was having problems receiving e-mails from Elysium. I contacted my ISP and discovered they were blocking all e-mails from Elysium...for everyone, not just me. They unblocked at my request and I've had no problems since.

Well done.

Is your WoW installation folder in C:\Program Files? If so, move it. Modern versions of Windows don't like programs trying to modify the content of this folder.

The sellers also get gold to sell by hacking player accounts and stripping them of their money. That's happened to several of my guild members (most of whom admit to poor security on their part).

When you use the Control Panel method, log out of the Control Panel and wait a couple of minutes before you click the link in the e-mail. When you use the in-game method, don't include the # sign in either the old or new passwords.

I've seen a couple of cases where when someone tried to change their password in-game, they received an error that the old password was incorrect because they were preceding it with the # character. Don't include that character; it's just provided in the instructions to indicate a variable where the variable = oldpassword or newpassword.

I'm not having any problems either. You mentioned Skyrim, but that's not an Internet-based game (even if you have the Steam version, the intensity of Internet traffic doesn't compare to an MMO). How about other MMO's? If your desktop computer works fine with MMO's, but your laptop doesn't, it might be a connectivity issue withe laptop itself. If you haven't tried a wired connection between your laptop and modem/router, that would be a worthwhile test. Eliminating wifi from the mix may narrow down the problem.

If i want to write in it, I have to leave and re-join World chat every time I log in. Bit of a pain, but I can live with it.

The leaked database belonged to another private server and only affected Elysium users if they used the same credentials on both servers. However, one of my guildmates has never been on a private server before, and he was hacked. He said his password was a random string of characters and numbers. So we have no clue how that one happened. Another guildmate was also compromised, but she can't swear she didn't re-use credentials from another private server. I've not heard of anyone with 2FA being compromised. A recent post by the Elysium devs said that only 1% of Elysium accounts are using 2FA, so it's a good bet that any compromised account isn't using it.

Progress on bringing the website back online is posted on Elysium's twitter feed. https://twitter.com/elysium_dev?lang=en

Haven't heard anyone else complain about this. Not to point out the obvious...but are your pets dying and you're not rezzing them? If your pet dies and you leave its corpse behind, or if you log out and log back in, it won't appear until you summon it, and when you do summon it, it will be dead and you'll have to rez it.

Yes. This is the first time I've been addicted to WoW - or any MMO - in years. I lost my addiction after TBC and thought it would never happen again. And now here I am...
