Posted in Uncategorized, tagged blizzard authenticator, keylogger, security on November 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve seen a few people searching on my blog for information about the Blizzard Authenticator. I don’t have one, but I’ve read a fair bit about them, so let me tell you what I know with a fair degree of certainty.
The Blizzard Authenticator is a small device you can attach to your keychain that [...]

Hey, there was an expansion a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t you hear? Like everybody else, I’ve been knee-deep in Northrend for a little while. Sorry I’ve been out-of-touch.
Most of you know I had three 70’s the day the expansion hit. I remembered hearing somewhere that the Horde were starting at [...]

One of my heroes from my childhood made a statement once about a starship he wasn’t too pleased with that he had just sabotaged. “The more they rethink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.” That statement has stayed with me for many, many years and it reflects my [...]
Dear Blizzard: A Feature Suggestion

Yo. Design team. I can’t believe you guys didn’t think of this one yourself. At least I’m pretty sure you didn’t. I’ve browsed through the options screen at least two or three times and I haven’t found it, so I’m pretty sure you haven’t.
I used to have a job in my [...]

Yup. I made my Death Knight over again, and finished the quest line tonight. I’m back in the free world, baby!

Just a smattering of random thoughts, impressions, and experiences from the last day or so that are Lich King related.
If you don’t want to suffer on launch day, come to Canada. I hit Wal*Mart at about 1:30 pm, shortly after lunch yesterday. Not only were there no lines, but there were hundreds — maybe thousands [...]

Sticky Post: Blizzard Fail Scoresheet
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Blizzard, crash, fail on November 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
TEN (or maybe more) additional hours of maintenance? And the expansion isn’t even out yet? Sure, I hear all the fanboys saying that this is the nature of the beast, but why can’t the self-proclaimed “leader” of the MMORPG genre learn from past experiences (their own and others) and make sure the infrastructure can handle [...]
Yes Virginia, The Servers Are Down
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged bang, boom, crash, outage, server status on November 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Was the crash worse than anybody realizes, or Blizzard is willing to admit?
It all began this afternoon. The servers came back up on schedule and then, almost immediately, went back down. They’ve been down ever since.
Wowrealmstatus.net appears to have collapsed already under the strain of people wanting to know if their realm is back up [...]
