    Attacking a person's post count has got to be one of the more useless ad hoc arguments one could attempt.  Which is really saying something considering that ad hoc arguments by definition are already useless.

    Which is exactly why you secure your Networks properly.

    Did you know these days with "Raspberry PI" It's very easy to compromise networks, steal credit card details, or other personal data, but this can also be used to connect to other peoples WI-FI networks which then can be used to control a large number of zombies, or DDOS servers / infected systems, and if it gets traced back by the FBI it goes to the other persons wi-fi or computer...

    Just something to be aware of especially with kids these days lending out their laptops, and cellphones like crazy when hackers can listen and record everything from your laptop, or phone.



    Most of all Raspberry PI's can easily be used as burners, used with S.I.P to make phone calls on the go, and can easily be destroyed litterly burned if afraid of the MAC address on a board getting you into trouble because the boards are soooo cheap.

    Can't wait to get my pi project started.

    We won't know who did it because they didn't actually bust anyone. Blizzard wants to scare people so it isn't done again. I don't know what's worse though, DDOS'ing old content that's already been DDOS'd or playing a game that's already been played. I'll get back to you on that....



    Agree.

    Blizzard must be so happy and laughing there asses off because:

    1. Idiots still play and pay monthly for (omegalulz) the same shitty outdated game

    2. Idiots paying monthly to replay the same shitty game that was cool 15 years ago, but isn't anymore and boring af (i hope you will play WoW Classic Unchained when they release it in 15 years from now)

    All you fools work against the evolution of mmorpgs by doing so (you give Blizzard money, so why would they create a new and improved game, hey the fools still pay and play) You will never understand, you will always think you are right and special, but you never will be.

    Wake up.

    yeah because no one ever reads books over and over or sees old movies again and again or play games over and over.

    One should only do things once and move on or else be arrested.   B)



    Ok.

    And why do you have 26,000 posts on a website? You European or something and have nothing better to do with your time?
    Nah. We have lots of spare time because we only have to work 20 hours a week, we make so much more money then these other poor countries. Then we waste it all on cheese, wine and gorgeous blondes, and on posting on MMORPG.com of course.

    Besides that, because of our long and rich history we are an enlightened people. So, not only do we have beautiful art, we also have the awareness that that ancient 24 hour clock just doesn’t cut it anymore. Therefor we now have 27 hour days, giving us 3 more hours a day compared to you poor sods.

    26.000 posts in a couple of years is nothing, our dedicated ones write that in a day, we also type and read faster then anyone else  B)

    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Bunch of idiots give their credit card info to a bunch of crooks, and arrest the smartest guy that shows what your paying for is not secure at all. They came for him. I hope one day they come for you all.

    Give me a break. Whoever did this sure as hell didn't do it because they're altruistic. 
    Agreed, that is some twisted logic. Seems people can justify anything if it aligns with their crusade.

    And just look at what they have evolved into.

     I’ll take the 15 year old game for $15 a month any day.

    stick that in your $15 pixel pants ;)

    He bags on Wow but nearly every MMO after WoW has been utter garbage and blames Blizzard for it.
