Hehe, it was linked to earlier in the thread the more international noise, the better in my opinion.

Oh ^^

Thought it might

then one might even reconsider as it would bring down the costs and hoops we have to jump through just to be able to play wow.

So we wait for E3 then........

Just have a few questions?

1 ) You guys remember when the russian servers went live they offered all the russian players the chance to migrate all their characters for free? SO shouldnt they do that for us too? Reason why I am asking is I've got quite a few lvl 80 chars and other alts and cant spend R2000+ tranfering all of them over.

2) Secondly, the pvp - I live for pvp. How would that work precisely? Seeing as different realms (different servers) play against eachother? Wont we be able to like play with 30-70ms ping and they with their normal ping? (Seeing as the world is run on our local servers and our gaming server just downloads the data from the other players? and visa versa? then they just sinc the player data to get a accurate reading of coordinates, hp, mana etc?) OR are there fixed battleground servers located in europe?

Sorry I might sound like a noob here but really confused as to how it would work? I'll try to rephrase my 2nd question if you guys dont quite understand what I mean looooool.

I pay to play because of updates, bug fixes and new content. As long as Blizzard keeps up their good work I will continue to pay my subs as well as hoping that they get a way to shut down all the illegal servers.

Yes, Blizzard is an awesome company until they just yank your account without you having done anything wrong.

I got my account suspended last night under suspicion of online trading / powerleveling and my account has NEVER been hacked and I have never bought gold in all the three years of playing the game.

Only thing I do is use a proxy service to improve my ping and wasap, 72 hour suspension. I'm disgusted.

Have you recently sold something on the auction house for a hugely over-inflated price or something similar?

[Cloud]

No - unless the 80g I put a blue lev 33 axe or something up for counts for anything?

Pehaps they think I'm being powerleveled, as I did take a ret pala from lev 24 (where he has been for months) to 36 in three days. But I mean, RET is OP right now lol :P

I have leveled quite a few chars, I know the quests, I used quest mods - if Blizzard is going to start suspending people for leveling faster than normal we are in
