Comment One of the previous use of a spare Linux box (Score 1) 315

Before my ISP blocked port 25 and prevented me to set up Sendmail at home. I used to use Dyndns dynamic IP service and everytime I subscribed to something it would go to a different account.
oraclenet@me.dyndns.org
BigGame@me.dyndns.org ...
My main e-mail account was pristine, Now I use google's gmail and every service online requires you to use your e-mail account as you damn log-in name. Hell even World of Warcraft switched their users log-in to their e-mail.

Great now we know your userid all we have to guess is your password!

Comment Revamped system (Score 1) 413

I believe that many of the unpleasantness that came with the latest expansion has also had a major impact on subscribers. I have friends that I have made over the years in WoW, they may not be the best players but they truly are good people. The skill needed for the beginning dungeons in Cataclysm was a bit too steep. You could not avoid the mechanics of a fight anymore as in the previous expansion.

Blizzard put in minimal gear requirements for doing harder dungeons and I believe that they might not have been quite high enough.So many of my friends are just not playing anymore. The players you encountered using Blizzard's random group matching system became unbelievably rude and intolerant.

Then some people got offended when they reduced the difficulty on previous raid content. (This to me was just childish).

The total revamp of all classes did not help either. You had to re-learn a class that you have been playing for the past 5 years.

But as others have said previously, this expansion sure does feel much more of a grind than the previous. WoW, when it first started removed many of the old style MMO grind. The death penalty was just some gold, items did not decay, you did not lose experience when dying.

For Cataclysm it seems that they are heading in the opposite direction the started in.
