A quick note for the World of Warcraft fans out there: Starting on November 11 (Nov. 12 in Europe, apparently), all WoW players will be required to log into the game using a Battle.net account -- presumably to pave the way for the upcoming new features. Our friends at WoW.com have put together some handy resources to make the change as painless as possible. They've also compiled a quick list of solutions for players that are still resistant to the idea. For those that have yet to merge their current WoW account with Battle.net, now's the time to get it done. After all, no one wants to be deprived of even a second of sweet, sweet Azeroth.
Besides, players that merge their accounts get a free penguin pet named Oswald. You can't beat that!

I didn't see a solution to the problem of not being able to play BECAUSE you merged your account, while everyone who held back is still able to log on.
Would love a solution to this one WoWInsider. Perhaps that's why I'm 'resistant' to the idea. I like being able to play the game.
Oh.. and authenticators.. while hailed as the solution to everything aren't available to everyone. Blizzard refuses to ship them to some countries. Just FYI.. not everyone lives in North America.

Good time to go outside and rethink your lives, WoW players. Is hitting a rock for 12 hours a day really a good use of time?

Hey, I'm no WoW fan either, but asking them if it's a good use of time is just silly. Someones always going to think you should be spending your time in a "better" way. Who cares? Just do what makes you happy, right?

Rethink my life? What? Because I play a video game, and you mistakenly believe I play it for 12 hours a day?
Why don't YOU stop playing video games all day, go outside and rethink your life? Video games rot your brain and make you violent didn't you know? Just ask Jack Thompson.
Idiot.
(Come to think of it.. you'll probably love Jack Thompson, you both have the same approach to facts.)

You are technically correct: the best kind of correct
