Hello guys!

First time I post here, I'm a WoW player myself, trying to find a place to get Cataclysm from. Just like many here, I cant get and download the digital order cause of limited connectivity, so until now, i didnt pre order.

I play on US btw, i know .... i know.... 8 hours sucks! But I got this account for sometime now, and made 4 80s in it,one with over 7300 achievement points, so dont feel like starting all over in Eu.

Anyways, anyone knows the location of pcandparts store ? or is it only Online?

It is an online store.

PCAndParts still dont have it.
Here is their reply to my mail today.

Dear Sir

Here is the latest tracking result

Traitée à l'agence DHL de PARIS - FRANCE
mardi, Décembre 07, 2010 à 06:52
Origine:  ORLY - FRANCE
Destination:  BEIRUT - LEBANON

If you have any comments or questions feel free to contact us .

Thank You.
Best Regards.
Computer Parts.

Looks like they pre-ordered it and it was shipped from Paris to Beirut today in the morning. I'd say it will take a couple of days to get to Lebanon... then a day to have them deliver it to you.
Three days all in all... should get it by Friday and level during the week-end if we're lucky.

Guess you would play directly, but the background downloader will download something or two.

I'm gonna wait till lebanon "hopefuly" gets the actualy packages, I hate to buy it electronically.

Re: World of Warcraft - Game Thread

it's easier to find lebanese players on EU servers since the latency different due to geographical reasons , for instance i know 3 lebanese guilds on 3 different servers , the one i'm in called the corrupted legion on twisting nether ( of course horde side  ) , another horde one on ragnaros and one on deathwing i guess alliance side.. it's kinda hard to find a US one , i remember reading somewhere about a US lebanese guild but i think its alliance side , i dont remember where i read that or the details about the guild anyways , good luck finding any !

There's a Lebanese guild on Dragonblight. Comprised of mostly Hamra/AUB/LAU students. I'll let you guys know the name if I ever remember to ask about it.

Re: World of Warcraft - Game Thread

Ummmm no , It's Just there has been more accidents regarding Hacking accounts in EU then in the US . But if you're Living in lebanon and want to be competitive when it comes to  ........ well pretty much PvE or PvP then yes EU is the way to go  , And it would be better for you since the Timezones are only slightly different  .

But when it comes to Gold spammers , and Account thieves and bans and yadi yadi yada  , Both the US Version and the EU version Depend on the "warden" which is a program they use to identify those people  . But the whole of blizzard security has been breached especially now that the spammers and account selling sites have Almost all if Not ALL  the emails you re using to register to WoW  ( which is why you always get those phishing scams and emails )

true , you can simply be carefull not to login or open any of these suspicious emails..and even if you do if you still have your WoW email password ( assuming they only placed hand of the WoW account login information ) , when they try to log into your account for example in china , your account will be locked and information sent your email tells you how to reactivate it , happened with my friend yesterday when he gave his password to my other friend wich is with another ISP , so different IPs etccc , just when he tried to login to the account , both of their accounts got locked , because blizzard assumed they were actually stolen from their respective owners.so theoretically you shouldn't be afraid of your account beeing hacked and stolen if you pay just a little bit more attention for what you download or wich pages you visit.

Having an authenticator used to mean something  , now it's just Bleh  , Even if you have an authenticator and change your password every now and then  , Your Account is fair game in the eyes of the hackers  . Sure it s harder for them to hack it if you have an authenticator but it also works the other way around lol  True Story  : Account Stealer Steals an Account and then Sets HIS OWN authenticator on it  so the other eye can t retrieve it   unless he calls blizzard and does like a month or 2 of procedures IF they actually believe he s the owner

Re: World of Warcraft - Game Thread

Anyone having problems logging in ?

I'm on Ogero and it seems I cannot open any website related to WoW or Battle.net whatsoever.

Furthermore, the game launcher and repair tool return me an error to check my internet connection while everything else is working.

Even Starcraft2 is down... weird!
