Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
The WoW Companion App is Retiring
MMO-Champion
ok, can anyone please tell me what exactly is downloaded when I click on the 8000+ new item link in the news post about it? I clicked on it last night and it downloaded something to my pc that was only 422kb and didn't ask me if it was ok to download, it just automatically started. is there a possible virus from this? Why is it downloading something and not just going to a webpage?

It's a webpage saved into a file. Drag it into your browser to view it. It's safe.

whew that's a relief. All of these threats out there and i get very paranoid about these things. I wish there was a warning or something that tells you that you are about to download a file and what that file contains.

I clicked on it because i wanted to see some of the new items that was being added, I didn't think it would download anything.

MMOC wouldn't put malicious content on the front page (or anywhere, for that matter).

Just a web page, it's worth checking out for sure if you have the patience to scroll through 100s of junk items. I found a 5000g sell value (vendor) white item called a fortune card for example, there are some sweet things.

and its kinda pointless tbh, it only shows you the stats not the looks of the items
