Im sure everyone remembers this good old screen =) My plans have changed for the private server i am creating, it will be a pre bc server patched to 1.12.1. luckily i found a client i could download patched to that version.
The first day just consisted of me downloading the client and sifting through different emulators to run the server with. This will be my fourth server ive made, and my first pre-bc server. right now i am working with a mangosZero server to see if its the one i want to use, its looking good so far, il post another update on how things are going along with the starcraft post.
Before i get this post started i would like to say thanks for the support of everyone! i hit over 100 followers last night, and i couldnt be more excited. as my follower base continues to grow i plan to offer better prizes in Phat loot Friday so promote me however you can =). Serious Blue Posts

Facepalm Blue Posts
This section is dedicated to posts blues have made or responded to that make me want to facepalm.
"Hello, I make this thread in hopes to get some replies of people who are having a similar issue.
Whats been happening lately is so GM's from Blizzard with names like ([Game Master] Blízzard) they keep whiserping me saying problems with my account... and this one GM said that my account was in compromised and I need to viisit this website to asure it's safety... so I did this right cos I've played WoW for like 3-4 years now and I really really don't wanna lose the work I put into this character and others.
So I go on this website and enter my details, and I whisperd the GM saying thanks.... and I felt pretty glad that my acciunt was secure again, but yet I still get more whisperes from GM's
they keep whispering me offering me free game-time if I visit this website and they have similar names like Blizzardy or Billzárd or something... point is they whisper me again saying my account is in compromised and it's very annoying.
I've entered my details twice now to get them to stop and they still whisper me every few days..
Is this some new service that Blizzard are trying to provide cos I'm finding it VERY annoying... also is their a way to stop it?"

"Wednesday, June 8, is World IPv6 Day, a day when companies and individuals around the world will be working to test their IPv6 support. Blizzard is getting involved, and so can you!
Beginning on June 8, players on the below realms will be able to connect to the game using IPv6. This isn’t a straightforward task and – while not extremely difficult – does involve research to ensure each component of your internet connection supports IPv6, as well as editing a game file with a text editor. While we’d love to have everyone participate, we don’t recommend taking part unless you’re already comfortable with technical aspects of your computer hardware, software, and World of Warcraft. If you aren’t comfortable tackling the task, or run into a snag while trying, don’t worry, we’ll get plenty of testing and you have our thanks for just making yourself more aware of IPv6.
