“You will suffer beyond imagination!” WoW Classic player fights girlfriend while streaming Annoy this WoW nerd and you will suffer beyond imagination, you will see the punishment.
Via Dexerto: One WoW streamer quickly got a hard dose of reality after he got into an explosive fight with his girlfriend on camera that brought the stream to a standstill as the argument got nastier by the second. While the streamer was in the middle of playing, the door behind him suddenly swung open as his girlfriend came in to give him a piece of her mind. “Out of all the fucking days!” she screamed, standing at the doorway. The female then confronted her boyfriend over what appeared him deciding if her friend could come over to visit. “Out of all the days to try and control who’s keeping…

Here’s how to play WoW Classic on your phone Do you guys not have phones?!!
Technically you always could, I hear someone saying (here‘s a video from all the way back in 2007). But this Steam Link method looks pretty functional, and will allow you to at least do some grinding while out and about. Works for both Android and iPhone. Or if you prefer text, u/reallybadpennystocks, who levels his dwarf priest exclusively via his phone (video), posted this handy guide: Hey guys I’ll do a write up on how I did this when I get home.

Twitch now permabanning users for referring to World of Warcraft’s ‘naga’ characters Reptilian-azerothians?
Twitch has permabanned a whole slew of users for referring to World of Warcraft’s snake-like monster race called nagas. Twitch, which apparently has never heard of the world’s most popular MMO despite it being constantly streamed to high view counts, believes ‘naga’ is a secret conspiracy code word referring to black people. The situation is believed to have started with a (now deleted) clip of Savix_Tv, in which he says he “shot that Naga.” The context was following – We were hosting a streamer called Savix, and we were going to spam "Shot that nagas PogYou", and the reason behind that is because we referred to a clip of Savix…

The World of Warcraft legacy server that is no more In closing Nostalrius, Blizzard finds itself the bad guy despite having the law on its side.
World Of Warcraft is a living place. With each expansion it sails onwards, leaving old players behind as new ideas, faces and philosophies keep the 11-year-old MMO current. However, some players would prefer to step back in time and wander the world they knew, like revisiting the street you grew up on. Until April 10, Nostalrius existed to do just that. It was the largest private server running WOW patch 1.12 – the final build of the base game, free from expansions and adulteration. Nostalgia was so strong that 800,000 people registered Nostalrius accounts, and 150,000 were active players. This took place without the approval of Activision Blizzard. The Battle.net…

The secret to the success of the greatest MMO of them all Vanilla World of Warcraft fed on the blood, toil, tears and sweat of its players, testing their patience and resolve - but that was part of its magic.
Patch 1.12, Drums Of War, is the build of choice for the majority of private servers running the original World Of Warcraft. It was just an interim patch between the introduction of Naxxramas, the notoriously vicious 40-man final raid, and WOW’s first expansion, The Burning Crusade. The logic goes that it’s vanilla WOW’s final and best incarnation, for in the two years between World Of Warcraft’s release and version 1.12, myriad fixes and quality-of-life improvements had turned a rickety, spit-and-glue MMO into a real cultural phenomenon that was fast approaching ten million subscribers. By this time, you could have more than one action bar on the screen. The Looking For Group…

LEEEROOOOOY JENKINNNNSSSSS has chicken.
Who could forget the blurry demise of Leeroy Jenkins and his guild as he charged idiotically straightforward towards death, dooming his companions in turn. It became a meme. It became a line of clothing. It was a clue on “Jeopardy” (though no contestant was able to answer the question.) It even became a card in the World of Warcraft TCG. I think it’s safe to say that Leeroy Jenkins has become something of an icon in this world, whether we like it or not. After all this time, Ben Schulz’s avatar still lives among us as a source of humor, and a warning: don’t get your guys killed. Unless you…

8 ways Blizzard can improve World of Warcraft After WoW’s last expansion, the game lost nearly 1 million subscribers. These are my ideas to get this ship back on course.
If you’ve been on the internet, you’ve heard of World of Warcraft. It’s the granddaddy of online gaming, the reason the acronym MMORPG exists and a cash money all star in terms of players, subscription cash, and lonely, lonely shut ins pretending to be badasses in a virtual world to compensate for their own crippling, real-world shortcomings. Though it boasts over 11 million subscribers worldwide, that number used to be much higher and, according to folks at Blizzard, the maker of the game, there are now more ex-players of WoW than current players. People have discovered the out of doors. Or, more likely, just a different game. Keep on shunning…

The victim, Kimberly Proctor, was found dead under a bridge with bodily burns so severe that she was only identified via her dental records. The teenagers who committed this act (whose names are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act) were arrested and plead guilty to first degree murder after bragging about their deed in the online social setting of the popular MMO World of Warcraft. Evidence against the two includes detailed text messages that outline their plan…
