So go check it out! Who among you has been hacked? Probably not a majority of WoW-users. But now let’s add a layer: who knows someone who has been hacked? In a hypothetical room of WoW players, a lot more hands just went up. Next question, how many of you have had money or materials stolen from your guild bank by a hacker? A similarly alarming number of hands would remain up. Authenticators are cheap and easy to use. And they all but ensure you won’t be hacked. Now, the majority of us would never be hacked anyway, so what’s the worry, right? The worry is, I play WoW a lot, and if you’re online reading WoW blogs chances are you play it a lot too. The risk is too great given the amount of time and money we devote to the game. Twisted Nether has devoted blog and podcast space devoted to raising awareness and concern about account hacking, and the potential benefit of authenticators. And Blizzard has made them accessible to obtain, even waiving shipping costs to keep the cost low. I was among those who simply ignored the risks, but have had two guildies in less than a month get hacked, both pillaging the player and our guild bank. Blizzard is usually good about returning lost materials, but you sacrifice time and could be crippling your raid or guild bank for a number of days or weeks, and nobody wants that. I’m a dedicated WoW player and have this TN blog with which to spread this valuable message. Here’s the link: Mine’s in the mail as I write this. Go get yourself one, and rest easier at night knowing that you aren’t contributing to the filthy hackers who propogate gold buying sites.
No matter how much most of us claim to “blog for ourselves”, we almost all get a bit of a rush every time a post of ours receives a new comment. Anea from Oh look, an alt! wondered if the satisfaction that comes from receiving comments (or the fear of receiving negative comments) hinders our ability to express ourselves to our full intent and proposed, as a Shared Topic, would no comments make us better bloggers?
Sharing their thoughts this week are: Lissanna from Restokin Ardol from WoW Philosophized Pewter from The ‘mental Shaman Rilandune from Heroically Random! Cornelious from Techadin Khraden from Illumination Borsk from Borsked Tryssta from The Snobby Blood Elf Windsoar from Jaded Alt Artie from Blade Barrier Gazimoff from The Mana Obscura Dwarven Pinball from The Dwarven Pinball Tarinae from A Healadin’s Tear Psynister from Psynister’s Notebook Demeternoth from Deme the DK Ophelie from The Bossy Pally and the Giant Spoon Lunaire from Lunaire’s World of Warcraft This week’s Shared Topic takes a look at the 1-10 level bracket. Considering that many accounts never reach level 10, we explore the first few levels that come after the “create new character” screen. What do we like about them, what don’t we like? How could they be improved? To take part, head over to the thread at Blog Azeroth! Want to participate in a different Shared Topic? Here’s a sample of the topics coming up:
