Everybody knows them, everybody hates them

HACKER, CRACKER, ACCOUNT THIEVES, SCAMMER... call them names.

There is an easy way to prevent stuff like that happens. Get an official Authenticator Keyfob, Install the Cellphone App on your dumbphone, get the official app for your Apple or Android Device... or just emulate a phone on your PC.

In this blog post I would like to describe how to setup said emulator.

Introduction:

I often find it fun and useful to mathematically analyze various parts of WoW. Whenever I find something interesting, I generally wind up posting it on some forum, but this blog feature on EJ might a convenient place to put things that don't fit into any particular topic, or are slightly too esoteric to just drop into a substantive thread about WoW. The goal is both to entertain people who know enough math to follow the discussion, as well as provide an interesting...

UPDATE (6/30/2011): Also visit my follow up article on the state of Warcraft.

This is a question that gets batted around now and again and the answer usually ends up being “no”; though it might be time to change that to “Maybe” if not “Yes”. Why is this? I’m not sure of the answer, though here are some possibilities that in sum might be the cause.

Random thoughts on the progression of complexity since vanilla wow.

It's always a bit interesting to take a long break from WoW. When you come back, you have a very different perspective on everything.

Until recently, I've played pretty consistently since release. So my understanding of the game grew as the game itself grew in complexity.



My first character was a priest, and playing in Vanilla, the game was very much about getting to level 60, affording an epic ground mount, maybe getting some cool crafted gear....

Bringing the WOW to your interface

Blizzard finally released an API function to display models in CATACLYSM that do not have to be in your cache. This is just plain awesome for the reason that an ingame model viewer is now possible. So I made one: rIngameModelViewer : Cataclysm Beta : WoWInterface Downloads. The benefit of this is quite major. Assume you want to add some art to your interface that should be cool but on the same side use very low CPU.

Doing animations in LUA is pretty costy since you need onUpdate scripts...
