Will I ever WoW again?

Thanks to the geniuses at Blizzard, I couldn't play Warcraft tonight. It seems their 4.0.0 patch takes so much hard drive space to install that there's not enough space on my hard drive to make it work. I'm working on a solution but until it works I won't be able to play.

Thanks, Blizz...

Un-Cursed...sort of

Well, our web site is recovered, at least partially. Here's the new URL.

A number of the familiar functionalities aren't there, and I'm not sure if they ever will return on this site. That's why I'm looking at a different host.

I'll keep you posted.

Cursed!

The short story…we’ve lost our website.

Long story…Curse.com bought/acquired Wowstead.com, our web site host. I’ve not had a happy prior history with Curse and their poor attempt at an add-on client that was supposed to download and install add-ons to WoW. They couldn’t even keep my account log-in straight. I gave up on them in short order and simply learned to install the add-ons myself (thanks Talyra!!) or use WoW-Matrix (thanks again Talyra!).

So when it came to Wowstead I have no idea what Curse thought that they were doing, but if they tried to import the Wowstead sites they failed miserably, as evidenced by their complaint forum.

I’m trying (with little hope) to get through some thick skulls at Curse and get the web site back up. But in the end I want nothing to do with Curse and will likely move the site to another web host (like Guildzilla.com), sooner if I can’t get the old one accessible.

This is more of a principle thing than a major inconvenience. Our web page has pretty much been a static info site about The Draenei Covenant, not an active portal for scheduling and news. Still…it was our site, one that took some hours to create and tweak.
