That's because millions of people deactivated their accts over night. I was one of them 3 years play HOTS with my son and we both deleted our accts. Reddit at the time started delete posts as well of screenshots of people deactivating accts.
It also didn't help that their CEOs thought it'd be wise to stream all of their stuff from youtube instead of twitch at the time, something that immediately saw their viewership shrink by around 80% (used to have about 30k viewers on most things, now down to around 4-5k). Things are getting so bad for them that their top hearthstone players don't actively stream the game at all nowadays, preferring stuff like among us and tft.
It's sad too because some of my fondest memories are from blizzard in the 90's and 2000's. Now they've gone the way of Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and everything else the feminists ruin after touching it.
Stop wasting your life and money on video games. Read a book. Learn how to work with your hands. These are things that actually make you a better person and may prove useful in the dystopia to come
Just some sound advice. I don’t have the power to tell you to do anything.
That being said, your heart only has so many beats in it, your lifespan is finite and short. Your high score on pac man won’t mean much when your gone.
Remember this when Blizzard employees cry about being "underpaid". They sit back and shut up while Blizzard does this shit to kids younger and much worse off than they are, but then expect us, the community, to rally behind them as they bitch about their pay because they are have to live in Commiefornia. When the only thing they themselves did was, cover up some words with a peice of paper on a statue at Blizzard. OOOOOOOOOO WAY TO SHOW SOLIDARITY GUYS
Nice! I triggered THREE CUCKS here today! :D 'imma say it again!' Maybe I can trigger them three times! Anyone who crawls back to a marxist-run corporation that abuses them is a cuck. If he (or she) gets paid in the process of being cuckolded by a Marxist-run corporation, he (or she) is a big-fat-scanky-whore in addition to being a cuck. :D
This is fucking ridiculous. So there can be an in game BLM protest but not even a mention of Hong Kong AND a commentator who I assume is supposed to be neutral was fired for not being impartial? Game should be called...
I say things like “Fetanyln Floyd was a hoax”
“LFM All-Black MC RAID - NEED HEALERS. Must show skin color as proof on discord”
“White lives matter”
“nigga”
“LFM BLM protest in stormwind, pst!”
fc1, fc2,fc3,fc4 I've played and loved them all.. skipped fc5 due to it being set in the US and white man bad etc.... might try fc6 when it comes out.
I second Blood Dragon.. awesome game.
I was extremely torn on playing. To the point I returned it. Then I read a little bit about the plot and was able to come back and really enjoyed it. I just felt like a redneck fighting other rednecks. I’m sure there are things to get triggered over, but alas I’ll share this with you.
this is a spoiler so skip if you don’t want that:
Lalala
In the end the whole world burns and the bad white guy ultimately wins!
Remember when you’re given a mission to track down the Presidents pee tape? I’m sure Ubisoft meant it to be a genuine jab, but it’s hilarious looking back on it now.
I dont remember that one but I do remember a quest-giver making a comment about "Obama lovin' libtards" and got a chuckle. I thought they did good with light hearted jabs at everyone.
Just finished 5. Best graphics least favorite gameplay.
Weapons are cookie cutter and often don't do what you think they should.
Planes are worthless with M/KB Helicopters rock
Fishing is almost impossible with M/KB
Follower AI and enemy AI are both better than most but still pretty stupid.
The forced cut scene plot progression was not my favorite. Just know that when your meter fills up to a pip you will be abducted in some way you cannot avoid.
It lightly makes fun of both progressives and Trump supporters. Nothing blatant and in parts of the game you can just avoid.
It's a crazy cult with heavy Christian overtones as the baddies but there's also a positive representation of Christianity in side characters.
Troubleshooter is a good tactical RPG if you're into that, you get to shoot antifa-like enemies there too. Some of them have names like "Bull Enforcer" which really drives home that the rest of your enemies are cucks.
Loved the game up until WotLK, and as a resto Druid I was a god... then Catalysm rolled out with the new healing mechanics, which turned Druids into a B-tier priest. The HoTs were mostly useless due to mana cost, and “Nourish” was supposed to be the new go-to.
I noped out pretty hard, and I found that I can get so much more done now, lol.
I remember that!!! You would lose mana extremely fast. I tried to hang in there but I was out for sure right after Legion came out. I’m done. It was fun while it lasted.
Haven't played a blizzard game since around the Hong Kong incident. It was shitty way before that though. So much language policing, silencing, etc. It was a long time coming. They are based in Commiefornia, and they clearly hire far leftist shit bags to police their games.
Remember when we used to play Xbox Live when we were young and people were shouting racial slurs and saying they would fuck your mother, or all manner of crazy offensive things? And yet, even at that age, sometimes people as young as 10-12, it was literally meaningless and nobody cared. A 12 year old boy has more mental fortitude and is stronger than 30 year old's of today. Thank you women for invading video games and instituting your language rules. Now you can't even say anything mildly aggressive in high ranks of competitive gaming, or it might hurt someone's feelings.
Yep. I go outside and get PRs and explore and create.
Video games, while I still play occasionally, have taken a majority of my free time of my life. Trust me, real like is a lot more interesting than a video game.
I get what your saying, I sometimes go back for a few months of PvP (which I do find fun). The added kicker is the Alliance side is supposedly very progressive and some lose their minds seeing "Trumptrain" curb stomp them makes it a little sweeter.
I volunteer. I've been unsubbed cause I ran out of gold and refuse to pay $$ for the game anymore. I talked about TD all the time in trade and in raids, woke a few up...was put on ignore by multitudes more
There's alot of downtime in mythic raiding, what else are you supposed to do while waiting for the mouth breathers to learn the fight. The ignores didn't happen in my raids (besides one crazy liberal chick that freaked the fuck out about it)
i guess it all depends on if you are the only one doing it. If the whole raid is talking politics and no one is complaining, sure. If everyone is just silently killing mobs and then one guy is like "yeah so imo private healthcare is superior" then it's weird
Bet it was a dude. Lol one of the viewer guests on the Wowcraft episode this week used a feminine name because he noticed Rich would constantly pull in fake e-girls to talk.
I remember when people were outraged years ago when an in game funeral for one of the clan’s IRL friends had died got crashed and all the attendants killed during the ceremony.
The lesson? Don’t hold shit like this on a PvP server.
Or just don't hold that sort of shit in a game at all. Christ. I've been playing video games my whole life and even I cringe at the degree of pathetic nerd-dom required to have funerals for people in an MMO.
I dunno man. I play Eve and used to play Runescape (still keep in touch with my old clan). I've made IRL friends through those games and I would want to do something to memorialize them if I found out one of them died. Since MMO guilds are pretty spread out geographically, an in-game tribute is kinda the most viable option.
I wouldn't shout it to the world cause that's just saying "hey, please grief us" but I'd want to do something more than just accept that a friend is gone and move along with my day.
Listen here fat.... Arthas was a bad dude, and he...he used to stand over by the pool.... rubbing up and down my leg with Frostmourne.... and until the fall of Lorderon, went on and you know about the people of strathoulme's right to life.... liberty..... good grain.---- you know... the... the THING...... and I beat him in a pushup contest and now I have Frostmourne and the Helm of Nerzhul......
God forbid they actually use their resources to ban the gold farmers litterally ruining the economy. Let's just ban people for trolling. litterally saw some guy in world chat last night go. My money's on the Los Angeles Black lives Matter to beat the Houston Black lives matter. I lost my shit
They have hackers in Classic and still deal with shitty lagg. Both are things vanilla wow private servers were able to fix without the same level of access as the actual developers. They simply do not give a shit because the money to be made is in their mobile games and selling in game items for real money.
So my problem with Chess is that I can't get into a completely deterministic game. The injection of a reasonable degree of randomness into a game inserts dynamics of having to plan for an uncertain future, protect against potentially risky outcomes, and change your plans on the fly.
With all due respect, that is the weakest argument against chess that I have ever heard.
Chess is ONLY deterministic in a theoretical sense.
Practically speaking, the conservative lower bound of the number of possible games was calculated by Shannon to be 10 to the 120th power. That's a big number. The mass of the visible universe is only 10^50 to 10^60 kg.
"having to plan for an uncertain future, protect against potentially risky outcomes, and change your plans on the fly."
This is a good description of what happens in pretty much every chess game.
Thank you, that's an interesting perspective I had not heard. Like you say, the determinism is true in the literal sense, but the game provides so many options that players effectively injecting randomness into the system based on the impossibility of considering all possibilities.
Incredible. Along time ago a very popular Alliance guild leader passed away in real life. The vice guild leader posted a message on their servers forum asking everyone on both sides, Alliance and Horde, to come out and show respect to the deceased guild leader in an in-game funeral held at his favorite zone. Both sides came out, line up and showed respect for him until a large group of Horde came to the zone and killed all the Alliance players and continually killed them as they rezzed their bodies and tried to run away.
I left WoW recently myself, but before I did, someone was in Stormwind yelling for others to start a BLM parade through the city, but no one was having it, mostly just ignoring them. Then the person got all pissy and started calling everyone racists. I was glad to see they got some pushback for that.
I love MMOs, but am usually happier with most of the channels muted. My husband often asks why I don't just play single-player games. I want to be around other people, I just don't want to communicate with them. lol
Most of the hardcore players are Horde. It started a long time ago with top end guilds switching to Horde because their racials are better in raids, and it caused a trickle down effect were almost everyone who cares about raiding is Horde. So Horde playerbase mostly consists of older players, while Alliance is played by young people.
Though that doesn't necessarily mean that one side is more based than the other. I've seen plenty of shit libs on Horde. Hell, my current guild in Classic has a decent number of the idiots who post covid memes mocking people who think it's overblown.
However, I will say this: Prior to Classic coming out, the private server community was extremely based. As in, there are videos of the best private server guilds saying a whole bunch of what a lot would consider racist shit, and their subreddit was filled with trash talk you would see on here. Though it was a lot more mean-spirited. They now make up probably a decent bulk of Classic WoW's population.
The last time I played Wow was with my wife before our first daughter was born... or when she was a baby. Must have been 5 or 6 years ago.... dang.
We never even got to max level or to raids. We'd just start over with difference race / class. Same race, male female, usually with names that were similar. Was kinda cute actually....
How the fuck are you gonna get stormwind to do a BLM riot? Those lazy fucks can't even be bothered to go over to the mage tower and kill the horde camping it
I quit playing this Chicom bullshit game when they denounced the Hong Kong protests. Not surprised to see this shit from them. Don’t buy Activision Blizzard games period.
Why would any self respecting person still fuck with blizzard, tencent... any of the ccp gaming platforms, blizzard has shown their true colors time and time again yet people keep going back to it.
I deleted my blizzard account when they decided to be the Chinese bottom bitch by banning Blitzchung last year. Before that, I was hoping that there was some small glimmer of hope that there would be some folks left from the original Blizzard who brought us Starcraft, Diablo 2, and Warcraft 3. But sadly those days are dead, and to me, Blizzard is dead. They're nothing more than a Chinese puppet and a shill.
Switch to Elder Scrolls Online, it's free and doesn't do this shit. I never play it because I'm too busy, but if I had time to play an MMORPG it would be that one.
Just started playing ESO yesterday, rolled a necromancer (after cancelling my Blizzard sub, I've played WoW off and on since Burning Crusade but last couple of expansions have bored me) Will probably bounce between ESO and FFXIV.
Dude, they straight up allowed a bunch of griefers to raid a funeral procession in game, but they block the guy for this? There's no reason to give them money anymore. Whoever they were is not who they are now.
Can't say "FREE HONG KONG" at a Blizzard tournament because "it's not the place for political messages" but it's a-okay for people to spam BLM shit in-game and you get banned for "disrupting" them.
Fuck Blizzard. Anyone still giving them money is a goddamn moron.
Remember the video of some Warcraft guild having an in game memorial service for a member that died in real life that was raided by the opposing faction and all the attendees were killed and griefed and Blizzard did nothing because it’s a game and people pay to do whatever they want in their fictitious world?
Blizzard is a sold out company. Long ago as well. No longer encompasses the spirit of "games made by gamers for gamers". They are now infested with crony CEOs and SJW employees.
WOW started out as an adventure, in 2004 you joined and had no clue what the fuck you were doing, you were just this low level noob running reports and errands for people, killing small predators. As you progressed you became a "hero", and it felt like your actions were solving problems. People in later level areas would be like "oh you yes, we need you, you've done all these things already and are clearly powerful!".
After Shadowlands this fall, they are scrapping all of that. Everyone will finish the starting areas, get to level 10, and then be asked by a time travelling midget which expansion they want to play. The entire world is all the same level (for the most part). So you can jump right into the Lich King expansion, where they all go "hey you're that hero from Outlands!" when you've never been to Outlands.
Yes, they banned the guy and took his winnings, if I remember correctly they gave the winnings back but he's still banned for awhile
Edit - guess the player has been back for awhile, seems it's been longer than I thought
Blitzchung was banned for a year at first, then they reduced the ban to 6 months and he's been back for a while now.
That's because millions of people deactivated their accts over night. I was one of them 3 years play HOTS with my son and we both deleted our accts. Reddit at the time started delete posts as well of screenshots of people deactivating accts.
Man, simpler times
It also didn't help that their CEOs thought it'd be wise to stream all of their stuff from youtube instead of twitch at the time, something that immediately saw their viewership shrink by around 80% (used to have about 30k viewers on most things, now down to around 4-5k). Things are getting so bad for them that their top hearthstone players don't actively stream the game at all nowadays, preferring stuff like among us and tft.
Mines still deactivated. I'm not buying any more blizzard shit since they have gone full SJW. Fuck them.
I haven't and I won't either
It's sad too because some of my fondest memories are from blizzard in the 90's and 2000's. Now they've gone the way of Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and everything else the feminists ruin after touching it.
Stop wasting your life and money on video games. Read a book. Learn how to work with your hands. These are things that actually make you a better person and may prove useful in the dystopia to come
Quit telling people what to do.
Just some sound advice. I don’t have the power to tell you to do anything.
That being said, your heart only has so many beats in it, your lifespan is finite and short. Your high score on pac man won’t mean much when your gone.
Leave a legacy.
I uninstalled and removed Bnet from my computer. Fuck those commies twat suckers known as Activision Blizzard.
Ah ok, havent cared too much for what's been going on with blizz
Remember this when Blizzard employees cry about being "underpaid". They sit back and shut up while Blizzard does this shit to kids younger and much worse off than they are, but then expect us, the community, to rally behind them as they bitch about their pay because they are have to live in Commiefornia.

"guess the player has been back for awhile," hahaha Player is a cuck, in that case.
Dude is making a lot of money from the sounds of it. Training in a new game is a huge investment of time and effort. He may just not care.
lol He's a cuck for not caring. Getting paid just makes him a whore AND a cuck.
Nice! I triggered THREE CUCKS here today! :D 'imma say it again!' Maybe I can trigger them three times! Anyone who crawls back to a marxist-run corporation that abuses them is a cuck. If he (or she) gets paid in the process of being cuckolded by a Marxist-run corporation, he (or she) is a big-fat-scanky-whore in addition to being a cuck. :D
Well if you read the rule book it states no political activities...
I read your username as quarantined queef
queef isn't used nearly enough in English...
Grool too
Gruel is porridge.
Grool is not
Queef Latina kek
That is the greatest name I've ever heard.
...it's what's for dinner.
Sounds about right
Are they a Chinese owned company? Because that would support their support and stance in BLM destroying America.
China had invested in Blizzard, not sure if its Tencent tho
Tencent owns 5% of Blizzard.
source which includes all their game studio investments
IIRC they also fired the commentator for the match who did nothing other than being present and doing his job while Blitzchung did his thing.
This is fucking ridiculous. So there can be an in game BLM protest but not even a mention of Hong Kong AND a commentator who I assume is supposed to be neutral was fired for not being impartial? Game should be called...
World of Clowncraft
100 year suspension lmfao
Like what even is the point?
Perma-ban
"1000 years of pain!"
It’s clearly fake. Blizzard gives out six month suspensions.
The OP photoshopped this to say 2120, fuck you OP.
I make fun of BLM all the time in wow, not banned.
In fact I said the n word and only got banned a few days
I play WoW and keep up with the subreddit etc - I’m fairly certain this was debunked as being fake AF within about 10 minutes.
Um what?
I probably troll LookingForGroup every day.
I say things like “Fetanyln Floyd was a hoax” “LFM All-Black MC RAID - NEED HEALERS. Must show skin color as proof on discord” “White lives matter” “nigga” “LFM BLM protest in stormwind, pst!”
And what, I’m not banned.
Listen man, you've got to walk away from wow. It's not easy. Trust me. Glad to bant.
Not me, I dont do this faggot bullshit
I play Far Cry 3 solo campaign on a shitty old 360 because the enemies look like antifa 👌
Do Blood Dragon. You will not be disappointed.
Yeah I've got the whole bundle, fc2, fc3 and bd. Also have 4 separately but it's just ok
3 is my favorite. Simple, wide open world, fast action, great graphics for the time and I get to raid CHAZ over and over again lol
IDK why, but I prefer BD more than FC3. FC3 seemed kinda meh.
FC5 and up has more of that shit, FYI.
fc1, fc2,fc3,fc4 I've played and loved them all.. skipped fc5 due to it being set in the US and white man bad etc.... might try fc6 when it comes out. I second Blood Dragon.. awesome game.
fc5 was fairly based. 'Murica was a pretty constant theme.
I enjoyed.
maybe I'll give it a shot then.. thanks.
I was extremely torn on playing. To the point I returned it. Then I read a little bit about the plot and was able to come back and really enjoyed it. I just felt like a redneck fighting other rednecks. I’m sure there are things to get triggered over, but alas I’ll share this with you.
this is a spoiler so skip if you don’t want that:
Lalala
In the end the whole world burns and the bad white guy ultimately wins!
FC5 rips on everyone fairly evenly. It's more "Murica as a meme".
Remember when you’re given a mission to track down the Presidents pee tape? I’m sure Ubisoft meant it to be a genuine jab, but it’s hilarious looking back on it now.
I dont remember that one but I do remember a quest-giver making a comment about "Obama lovin' libtards" and got a chuckle. I thought they did good with light hearted jabs at everyone.

All 3 endings suck but they are interesting.
Played FC5 about a month ago and enjoyed it. Surprisingly very little of that crap. Lots of patriotic stuff, good shit.
CLUTCH NIXON
I need to buy a new video game lol
I recommend Ghost of Tsushima. Very based. Watch Andrew Klavan’s review of it and he will convince you.
One of the most underrated games ever.
The number of people I know would love it, but have never even heard of it is shocking.
Have one on me u/swaglord1776
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFFgbc5Vcbw
MMOs aren't faggot bullshit.
Otherwise, I like the rest of what you're saying.
Yeah they get all sort of hate on here unfortunately...
The only type of video game I play.
Must be nice having a reality you don't feel the need to escape from.
Division 2. I think of the terrorists as Antifa.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint also has black-clad face mask-wearing pussies.
Troubleshooter is a good tactical RPG if you're into that, you get to shoot antifa-like enemies there too. Some of them have names like "Bull Enforcer" which really drives home that the rest of your enemies are cucks.
I walked away after 10 years 💁🏽♀️
Cataclysm did it for me.
Loved the game up until WotLK, and as a resto Druid I was a god... then Catalysm rolled out with the new healing mechanics, which turned Druids into a B-tier priest. The HoTs were mostly useless due to mana cost, and “Nourish” was supposed to be the new go-to.

It's a life-stealer. Put that time into leveling up your actual life
Yep. I go outside and get PRs and explore and create.
Video games, while I still play occasionally, have taken a majority of my free time of my life. Trust me, real like is a lot more interesting than a video game.
Imagine looking back and seeing that you literally played this game for years of your life.
Video games in general are pretty bad for you, but mmos are the absolute worst. Recipe for depression.
I get what your saying, I sometimes go back for a few months of PvP (which I do find fun). The added kicker is the Alliance side is supposedly very progressive and some lose their minds seeing "Trumptrain" curb stomp them makes it a little sweeter.
Glad I walked away in 2006 when BC came out.
Only played for about a year. Total waste of time.
I don't play it myself but you should definitely do that
I volunteer. I've been unsubbed cause I ran out of gold and refuse to pay $$ for the game anymore. I talked about TD all the time in trade and in raids, woke a few up...was put on ignore by multitudes more
tbh even if I don't disagree with your views, i'm gonna mute you if you're talking politics in a fucking raid
There's alot of downtime in mythic raiding, what else are you supposed to do while waiting for the mouth breathers to learn the fight. The ignores didn't happen in my raids (besides one crazy liberal chick that freaked the fuck out about it)
i guess it all depends on if you are the only one doing it. If the whole raid is talking politics and no one is complaining, sure. If everyone is just silently killing mobs and then one guy is like "yeah so imo private healthcare is superior" then it's weird
Bet it was a dude. Lol one of the viewer guests on the Wowcraft episode this week used a feminine name because he noticed Rich would constantly pull in fake e-girls to talk.
how much gold is a token now?
132k https://wowtoken.info/
Sell the in game currency for irl $$$.
Then exchange the IRL currency for ammo!
Geez Louise! Can you buy me the caravan brutosaur for 5m? I'll yell whatever you want
You're not allowed to protest a protest?
I remember when people were outraged years ago when an in game funeral for one of the clan’s IRL friends had died got crashed and all the attendants killed during the ceremony.
The lesson? Don’t hold shit like this on a PvP server.
That was my guild, Serenity Now, though I wasn't in the raid.
I also bombed a funeral in Planetside with The Enclave.
Dick move but like I said, don’t host shit on PvP and expect nothing to happen. 🤷♂️
Or just don't hold that sort of shit in a game at all. Christ. I've been playing video games my whole life and even I cringe at the degree of pathetic nerd-dom required to have funerals for people in an MMO.
I think that’s a major problem in general, when digital life replaces actual real life interaction.
I dunno man. I play Eve and used to play Runescape (still keep in touch with my old clan). I've made IRL friends through those games and I would want to do something to memorialize them if I found out one of them died. Since MMO guilds are pretty spread out geographically, an in-game tribute is kinda the most viable option.
I wouldn't shout it to the world cause that's just saying "hey, please grief us" but I'd want to do something more than just accept that a friend is gone and move along with my day.
Haha... I love griefers
Illidan Alliance, respect
I heard that one time a guy went into a guild chat and sadly announced his brother, who was also a guild member, died IRL from Lyme disease.
Response: "Did he drop any good loot?
I feel bad for laughing
These people think they're the counterculture still, too
Lol that twitter post on here yesterday was great where they talked to MAGA Hulk. Dude next to them was like "REPUBLICANS ARE THE NEW PUNK ROCK!"
It's true
Listen here fat.... Arthas was a bad dude, and he...he used to stand over by the pool.... rubbing up and down my leg with Frostmourne.... and until the fall of Lorderon, went on and you know about the people of strathoulme's right to life.... liberty..... good grain.---- you know... the... the THING...... and I beat him in a pushup contest and now I have Frostmourne and the Helm of Nerzhul......
I should not have said that......
Liberals would let the Burning Legion destroy the world while proclaiming "Not all demons" and "Orc Lives Matter".
"I will close the Dark Portal, and make the Burning Legion pay for it"
Make Azeroth Great Again
(The promise of every expansion for the last decade)
God forbid they actually use their resources to ban the gold farmers litterally ruining the economy. Let's just ban people for trolling. litterally saw some guy in world chat last night go. My money's on the Los Angeles Black lives Matter to beat the Houston Black lives matter. I lost my shit
pretty sure they killed gold farmers by just selling gold directly to the players
You would think that's the case but they still exist. Especially in classic.
They have hackers in Classic and still deal with shitty lagg. Both are things vanilla wow private servers were able to fix without the same level of access as the actual developers. They simply do not give a shit because the money to be made is in their mobile games and selling in game items for real money.
I dont know what this nation has become. I dont recognize it anymore
It's still here, don't let these computer nerds trick you
Can I recommend chess as a good gaming substitute ? No progressive can ever stop you from playing it - and it can hold your interest for a lifetime.
Not my screenshot, just sharing some clown world shit
The white and black pieces represent white supremacy. They said this. They’re going after it.
They'll have to take the chess pieces out of my cold dead hands.
Well, if that what it takes?
So my problem with Chess is that I can't get into a completely deterministic game. The injection of a reasonable degree of randomness into a game inserts dynamics of having to plan for an uncertain future, protect against potentially risky outcomes, and change your plans on the fly.
With all due respect, that is the weakest argument against chess that I have ever heard.
Chess is ONLY deterministic in a theoretical sense.
Practically speaking, the conservative lower bound of the number of possible games was calculated by Shannon to be 10 to the 120th power. That's a big number. The mass of the visible universe is only 10^50 to 10^60 kg.
"having to plan for an uncertain future, protect against potentially risky outcomes, and change your plans on the fly."
This is a good description of what happens in pretty much every chess game.
Thank you, that's an interesting perspective I had not heard. Like you say, the determinism is true in the literal sense, but the game provides so many options that players effectively injecting randomness into the system based on the impossibility of considering all possibilities.
That's a pretty accurate way to describe it.
The last Blizzard game I bought was Diablo 2.
Wtf...
Lol imagine still paying blizzard money
Kicked you off a game for trying to play the game.... not really surprising in 2020
Incredible. Along time ago a very popular Alliance guild leader passed away in real life. The vice guild leader posted a message on their servers forum asking everyone on both sides, Alliance and Horde, to come out and show respect to the deceased guild leader in an in-game funeral held at his favorite zone. Both sides came out, line up and showed respect for him until a large group of Horde came to the zone and killed all the Alliance players and continually killed them as they rezzed their bodies and tried to run away.
Blizzards response then: crickets
China owns Blizzard.
Who the hell does an "in-game Black Lives Matter protest"?
Get back to farming, scrubs.
I left WoW recently myself, but before I did, someone was in Stormwind yelling for others to start a BLM parade through the city, but no one was having it, mostly just ignoring them. Then the person got all pissy and started calling everyone racists. I was glad to see they got some pushback for that.
I love MMOs, but am usually happier with most of the channels muted. My husband often asks why I don't just play single-player games. I want to be around other people, I just don't want to communicate with them. lol
I usually only ever see pro-Trump things from the Horde in-between trolling whenever politics do pop up.
I am the same with not wanting to deal with people and generally being left alone. Other people are fine but aren't the attraction to it at all.
Too bad Blizzard has gone full social justice warriors it seems.
So the Alliance are a bunch of lefties and the Horde is the pro Trump side?
Why would that be?
Most of the hardcore players are Horde. It started a long time ago with top end guilds switching to Horde because their racials are better in raids, and it caused a trickle down effect were almost everyone who cares about raiding is Horde. So Horde playerbase mostly consists of older players, while Alliance is played by young people.
Though that doesn't necessarily mean that one side is more based than the other. I've seen plenty of shit libs on Horde. Hell, my current guild in Classic has a decent number of the idiots who post covid memes mocking people who think it's overblown.
However, I will say this: Prior to Classic coming out, the private server community was extremely based. As in, there are videos of the best private server guilds saying a whole bunch of what a lot would consider racist shit, and their subreddit was filled with trash talk you would see on here. Though it was a lot more mean-spirited. They now make up probably a decent bulk of Classic WoW's population.
The last time I played Wow was with my wife before our first daughter was born... or when she was a baby. Must have been 5 or 6 years ago.... dang.
We never even got to max level or to raids. We'd just start over with difference race / class. Same race, male female, usually with names that were similar. Was kinda cute actually....
How the fuck are you gonna get stormwind to do a BLM riot? Those lazy fucks can't even be bothered to go over to the mage tower and kill the horde camping it
Needs more flying pink penises.

How do you have an ingame riot? Did WoW add fully destructible terrain in one of their expansions?
100 year suspension? The desperation with which these people spread their propaganda is sickening.
A hundred year suspension....
Fuck them. Go outside or join a different gaming community that’s free (as in freedom).
WAIT WAIT WAIT THEY BLMS PLAY WOW?
BOYCOTT BLIZZARD
I quit playing this Chicom bullshit game when they denounced the Hong Kong protests. Not surprised to see this shit from them. Don’t buy Activision Blizzard games period.
We have got to stop giving money to companies that sell communism.
100 year ban? Lmao. Blizzard is so cucked

Why would any self respecting person still fuck with blizzard, tencent... any of the ccp gaming platforms, blizzard has shown their true colors time and time again yet people keep going back to it.
They can go fuck themselves. Give them NOTHING
Even money says, "Y'all will still support Blizzard by continuing to play their games and purchase new publications from them."
I deleted my blizzard account when they decided to be the Chinese bottom bitch by banning Blitzchung last year. Before that, I was hoping that there was some small glimmer of hope that there would be some folks left from the original Blizzard who brought us Starcraft, Diablo 2, and Warcraft 3. But sadly those days are dead, and to me, Blizzard is dead. They're nothing more than a Chinese puppet and a shill.
Switch to Elder Scrolls Online, it's free and doesn't do this shit. I never play it because I'm too busy, but if I had time to play an MMORPG it would be that one.
Your handle terrifies me!
Just started playing ESO yesterday, rolled a necromancer (after cancelling my Blizzard sub, I've played WoW off and on since Burning Crusade but last couple of expansions have bored me) Will probably bounce between ESO and FFXIV.
2120?
Clearly a photoshop
Blizzard went full faggot a while ago. Vote with your wallets.
Blizzard is one of the most cucked game companies out there. They are CCP boot lickers, stop giving them your money and time.
Good thing Leeroy Jenkins wasn't around
His time was up.
Banned for 100 years and 4 months? Wow!
You interfered with their religions ceremonies is more accurate.
Dude, they straight up allowed a bunch of griefers to raid a funeral procession in game, but they block the guy for this? There's no reason to give them money anymore. Whoever they were is not who they are now.
Can't say "FREE HONG KONG" at a Blizzard tournament because "it's not the place for political messages" but it's a-okay for people to spam BLM shit in-game and you get banned for "disrupting" them.
Fuck Blizzard. Anyone still giving them money is a goddamn moron.
Holy shit lol
They suck balls. Blizzard always made softy-safe, half-ass versions of Elder Scrolls and War Hammer games, the plagiarism is pretty apparent....
I prefer my dark sci-fi and fantasy, not morning cartoons.
I WANT MY ROCK STARS DEAD!!
Bill Hicks foreshadowing the dichotomy between creative music artist and boardroom designed formulaic music
He wouldn't know what to do today
Remember the video of some Warcraft guild having an in game memorial service for a member that died in real life that was raided by the opposing faction and all the attendees were killed and griefed and Blizzard did nothing because it’s a game and people pay to do whatever they want in their fictitious world?
Make Azeroth Great Again.
lmao cuck city
They’ve invaded every space of lives and they still can’t seem to win.
Blizzard is a sold out company. Long ago as well. No longer encompasses the spirit of "games made by gamers for gamers". They are now infested with crony CEOs and SJW employees.
Brought to you by beijing
this is about as pathetic as is gets....in game protests??/
And that's why WoW is dying
they're going to kill it with the next expansion.
WOW started out as an adventure, in 2004 you joined and had no clue what the fuck you were doing, you were just this low level noob running reports and errands for people, killing small predators. As you progressed you became a "hero", and it felt like your actions were solving problems. People in later level areas would be like "oh you yes, we need you, you've done all these things already and are clearly powerful!".
After Shadowlands this fall, they are scrapping all of that. Everyone will finish the starting areas, get to level 10, and then be asked by a time travelling midget which expansion they want to play. The entire world is all the same level (for the most part). So you can jump right into the Lich King expansion, where they all go "hey you're that hero from Outlands!" when you've never been to Outlands.
