    I remember when I went from 256 megs of RAM to 512 maybe six months after WoW was released.

    Using flight paths turned from a 1 FPS slide show into something I could actually watch.

    I just found out I only have 3 Gb of RAM on my computer yesterday, so I ordered more and I''ll have 6 Gb soon.

    Wow.
    Blizzard isn't even TRYING to hide the fact that they just chose some questions to waste time.

    "Do you have any plans to make talent trees unlock the next tier at 3 points?"
    "We thought about it, but decided against it."
    Reasonable enough. I don't see why they kept it 5 but that's a good question.
    Then, like 4 questions down:
    "Are we going to use 3 points to advance tiers?"
    "No, it'll still be 5."
    Really Blizzard?
    The exact same question?

    EDIT
    Ahaha.
    Same question, different "answer".
    Q. Last time I checked the Feral druid tree, there were only 5 points in the first tier which means NO choices. Is that getting fixed?
    A. Still working on early Feral.

    Q: Last time I checked feral druid tree, there were only 5 points in the first tier which means NO choices. Is that getting fixed?
    A. Yes.

    Or, you know, the real answer:
    Thank you for the info, but I have to ask... why so many duplicate answers? I feel we might have gotten more things answered if not for the duplicates.

    The entire class team was answering questions. We did it quickly and sometimes we answered the same one twice. We left those answers in when we thought that both contributed something (even dumb GC humor).

    I don't believe we skipped over many questions though. This has to be a record. :)

    Though maybe if there were simply more animations for current weapon types it would be a bit better.

    The issue for me is largely that there don't exist separate animations for two-hand axes vesrus two-hand swords versus polearms or quarterstaffs. It's all "overhead chop, impale, forward slice", which makes very little sense in context depending on the weapon being wielded. So all two handed things start to feel very "same-y" after a bit, and people (well, me at least) long for something else. What kinds of things? Whips, ball-and-chain, sickle/scythe (as an actual weapon type and not just a polearm skin), there are lots of possibilities. But even without the new weapon types, I'd take some more diverse animations between the existing weapons instead.

    Full usage of the strife specibus?

    Or maybe they just wanted to have a whip weapon type, or something else exotic.

    I was told there was a security problem on bilzzard's end with 3.3.5, which makes me kind of sad.

    And I was told from the representative I talked to from Blizz.

    so huh, I now have a choice. My paladin is stuck on some random server and I would have to pay to transfer her to someplace I want to be. I didn't know that blizzard would charge 25$ to let me do this. so do I pay the stupid amount or just scrap her.

    no no. I made this character years ago and I am picking it up now. Anyone I knew is long gone so do I mover the toon or start from scrap.

    I guess I could try to find a guild on this server but I would rather play with PA peeps.

    If you just got you're account back and it's like that wait until you're item restoration goes through. When i got my account back I deleted a druid to make space since I didn't ever play it, and when my restoration went through the druid was back alive again, so make sure to wait until then to see about it.
