WHO WANTS A FREEBIE?

No, I’m not crazy. Just happy. And excited. I found someone gullible enthusiastic enough to sponsor my site’s upkeep, upgrade and…

GIVEAWAY CONTEST!

Now before you go nuts and tell me you want 10,000 gold or something, please calm down and let me work out what I can afford to give away to X number of lucky readers. It doesn’t have to be gold. It can be game time cards, CD keys…can you say Cataclysm?

Yeah, yours truly has been  bitten VERY BADLY by the pre-Cataclysm bug and my guildies and I are going nuts working out raid compositions and the like. We recently gained new members who are so skilled, you’d think God was biased when he made them. Alvin, our head honcho, is plotting this early who gets to do this 10-man raid, that 25-man raid, which one we’re hitting first, how many more gnomes we need to kill…you get the picture. We are no longer our server’s worst raiding guild (a dubious title we’d held since vanilla WoW and earned us one too many savage comments in Trade chat). Things are looking up.

And yeah, I know I mentioned this a while ago, I’m going to be a dad. :)

To celebrate the impending arrival of my future Trade chat troll son/daughter (okay, fine, we’re still looking at several months but whatever, I believe in celebrating in advance), I’ve got big plans lined up for WoW Gold Facts.

Will you tell you more about ‘em soon. In the meantime, enjoy the extended realm downtime!

REAL ID: REAL NAMES FOR YOU TO STALK?

Um, so who likes Real ID?

I know you can decline requests from strangers and weirdoes alike but it gives me the heebie-jeebies seeing names of real people in someone else’s roster, knowing anyone with enough curiosity can look them up in Facebook.

Like Cletus, for one.

After seeing the female names on a friend’s list, he quickly turned to Facebook to check out "the goodies" and proceeded to recite a litany of comments:

"Woohoo, hot hot hot mamacita!"

"Is that a man or a woman?"

"Wasn’t she the prostitute I did in Puerto Rico?"

"She must be at least 60 years old."

"This one ate too many lard sandwiches."

I asked Cletus how sure he was that those were the WoW-playing chick pals of his friend. He gave me a look that said I must be missing a hundred IQ points.

"Duh, see the words World of Warcraft in their Likes and Interests?"

/sigh

I told him to stop stalking people, for the love of everything that is good and holy.

"Kk, fine. I might just be wasting my time. Too many ugly women on our server."

Groans.

So…who likes Real ID?

PATCH 3.3.5 LOG-IN WOES

Aaaaaagggghhhhhhh!!!

Patch 3.3.5 Unable to Connect

I need to do the weekly! I need my frost emblems! Alvin our guild leader has scheduled a 25-man ICC heroic! He’s now having a male bitch-fit on vent as I type this. Someone check his blood pressure, quick!

Blizz, you know I worship your team for giving us this fine, fine, fine game but for Pete’s sake get this patch right!

/bawls like a baby

/pause

Hmm, on the upside, those Chinese spammers must be having heart attacks themselves for not being able to log in too.

Life is good.

NO RUBY SANCTUM YET…

Okay, so no patch 3.3.5 yet. It’s okay, I’m a patient man. A busy one too. Between real life and WoW life, I’m at risk of spreading myself too thin, causing some tension between me and my significant other.

In the meantime, I am having trouble with my PayPal account….again. Funds have been, um, slow to come in. Rachel my WGF staff member has been indisposed. Cletus and Remus can’t help out because of real life commitments (read: they have credit card bills to pay).

And my guild has been failing ICC in heroic mode. Miserably. Alvin our guild leader is hell-bent on getting the title The Light of Dawn but at the rate we’ve been wiping in the Crimson Hall ("Bite me, goddamn it, bite me!!!"), it’s all starting to look bleak. People on death row have brighter futures.

And, um, I might just have some breaking news for you guys. It’s a gut feel but…can’t really talk about it till a third party confirms my suspicions. It’s giving me a strange adrenaline rush, to be honest.

BBL.

$2.99 FOR 1K GOLD? IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD?

IS THIS FOR REAL???

WoW Gold Pig Two Ninety Nine WoW Gold

Too bad they don’t have live chat or I’d be online with one of those reps demanding to know if they’re closing shop and it’s an EVERYTHING MUST GO deal.

So are you fellas closing shop or what? And how long are you running this?

Or did someone just hack your website? What’s the real score?

Someone get back to me please. I know someone in my guild who is close to having a heart attack from excitement. Visions of mechano-hogs are dancing in his head.

Later, kids. I’m off to bed…after another failed 25-man ICC raid.

HI, ARE YOU THERE?

So many friendly level 1’s out there, wouldn’t you agree?

"Hi EGF, are you there?"

"Hi, Cletus, are you there?"

"Hi, Remus, are you there?"

"Hi, everybody on your realm, are you there?"

The common trigger reaction would be just to ignore or report the tell as spam, but sometimes one can’t help but have fun with those scammy Chinese sons of b*tches. Here’s an example of how you can mess with them (just be prepared to waste some time, though):

Spammer: Hi, EGF, are you there?

EGF: Yes I’m here. :)

Spammer: How are you? Do you need golds? We have 22,978 golds on your server.

EGF: I sure do need golds, honey. Like lots of them!

Spammer: That is good. Discount is 5% and I will give you 10% on second order. Use code ABCDEF.

EGF:  Awesome. I need 10,000 golds.

Spammer:  Nice. :)

EGF:  Yeah  :)

(after a few minutes)

Spammer:  Hello friend you order?

EGF: No.

Spammer: Why?  :(

EGF:  Another gold seller offered me 15% discount.

Spammer: I give you 15% too!!

EGF: Really?

Spammer: Yes but order now and I stay here wait for you so I give you order number. Use code GHIJKL instead.

EGF: Oh I will I will. :)

Spammer: 10,000 gold okay?

EGF: No I want 15,000. Wanna buy a bike.

Spammer:  :D

EGF:  :D

Spammer: Cool.

EGF: Yeah cool.

(minutes later)

Spammer: You finished friend?

EGF:  Almost. :D

Spammer:  :D

(3 agonizing minutes later)

Spammer:  My friend give me your character name and server and I will tell our guy to send your gold now. :)

EGF:  Sure. Character name is Goldfarmerboy and my server is Laughing Blade US. Alliance.

Spammer: kk will check now. :D

EGF: :D

(seconds later)

Spammer: My friend there is no server Laughing Blade.

EGF: Oh yeah, stupid me. Sorry. It’s Laughing Hoof.

(seconds later)

Spammer: My friend, are you sure you have correct server?

EGF: Are you implying that I am an idiot?

Spammer: No I’m sure it’s all honesty error.

(what the f*ck is an all honesty error? - EGF)

Spammer:  Please, friend, what is your server and true character name?

EGF:  I told ya: Goldfarmergirl and Lightning Rod.

Spammer: You making joke to me, friend?  :(

EGF: No, I’m serious.

Spammer:  You said Goldfarmerboy and now you say Goldfarmergirl.

EGF:  I had a quickie sex change operation.

Spammer:  My feeling is that you are joking.

EGF:  My feeling is that you are right.

Spammer: Please, friend be honest with me.  :(

EGF:  Sigh, fine, fine. My character name is Philatio and my server is Illidan. Alliance.

Spammer: Thank you, my friend.

EGF: You’re welcome, my b*tch.

Spammer:  :D

EGF:  XD

(after 30 seconds)

Spammer:  I do not see your character, maybe you lied did not order.

EGF: No, I think your system sucks. I did place an order. You’re just too stupid and lazy to look for it.

Spammer:  You lie.

EGF:  Damn straight I did. :)

Spammer: I will not offer you gold anymore.

EGF:  Well, Halle-F*cking-lujah, thank God for small mercies!

Spammer: Maybe your friends want to order?

(I kid you not, a gold spammer asked me that question! - EGF)

EGF:  Nah, they’re broke after buying that gay Celestial Steed.

Spammer: I see.

EGF: I want a free zebra unicorn mount! :)

Spammer: Sorry we not sell zebra unicorns.

EGF:  Oh come on, you spammers are never short of zebra unicorns! I want one! Like right now!!!

Spammer:  No zebra unicorns.

EGF:  GODDAMN IT, I WANT A ZEBRA UNICORN I SAID!!! ZEBRA UNCIORN ZEBRA UNICORN ZEBRA UNICORN!!! I WANT MY ZEBRA UNICORN WAAAAA WAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Spammer is ignoring you.
