What does kaspersky have to do with WoW you ask? The plain and simple truth is that these days Keyloggers have become an every day activity on the WoW forums. You get what looks like a legitimate link to “something cool” and being the curious person you are you click on it. Nothing happens but after a few days you go to log onto WoW to notice yu have been /gkicked or demoted and you standing in the middle of Shattrah City naked and with an empty bank and wallet. Your account has been hacked and they have taken you for all you have! The GM’s appear sympathetic(they are really laughing at you) and they offer to escalate the problem and hopefully get some of your gear back.
The unfortunate thing about this, I know people who has had this happen and many times they can not or will not get all of your stuff back. I ave even heard of people who get banned until the problem is resolved. The easiest way around this is to regularly run an anti-virus/spyware sweep of your computer on a regular basis. For doing so kaspersky is on of the favs, but there are a lot of options out there, feel free to look around.
Just about every forum associated with WoW has that POST YOUR UI thread. Admit it you love looking at them. You love comparing them to yours and you love the ideas you get sometimes. I have build just about every UI i have had around someone else’s because I’m just not that original or creative. This weeks Site of the week is my best friend, it is a site where everyone is welcome to post there UI to show it off to the world. WoW UI Screens allows you to break down UI’s by class or view them all. Users can leave comments on other UI’s and when you post your UI there is a place for you to describe it and list what add-ons you are using, which isn’t used much leading to the other post on just about every WoW forum, “which add-on is this?”
Starting this week, every Monday I will be posting a site I have found rather useful for all my WoWing. This week the sight of choice is Be Imba! It’s a Level 70 Character auditer(only works on 70’s), that provides a nice assortment of information on your toon.
It can tell when it thinks you have a mis-enchanted item and what items have low quality gems. It also gives you information about your stats, what needs to be improved or unimproved, in my case above you’ll see my Shadow Spell hit is WAY overcapped. But at least I have wiggle room:). Be Imba! Also provides a chart giving you some idea of what level of raiding your gear is suited for and where you might go to find upgrades.
It’s a great site that I was turned on to by a guild member and I thought I would help spread the word on it. Go check it out and let me know what you think.
