How should I go about pranking my brother who plays WoW? - General

There should be a .WTF file, open it with notepad, then replace the line about connecting to Blizzard's servers slightly different so he can't play.

There is no need for pranks. How would you feel if did same to your Steam/Live/PSN Account.

In order of how long it will take to solve: 5 minutes - Change password 10 minutes - Delete the folders: Interface, WTF This one depends on connection speed, I think it's somewhere between 7 and 10GB: Delete the 'data' folder and hide his WoW install discs. 3-7 days: When he goes for a piss and leaves WoW open, logout and delete the character.

[QUOTE=PEn1s lol;23909480]There is no need for pranks. How would you feel if did same to your Steam/Live/PSN Account.[/QUOTE] I'd fucking kill them. I don't think he spent $600 bucks on it though. I bought every game when it was released, so back then even Half-Life was $50.

unplug the ethernet cable or turn off the router(if these are avaliable)

Go onto a shady WoW site promising free gold or a "hack", preferably a really obvious one. Download as many of the different applications as you can. Run a virus scan, put ignore on all the keyloggers and such, DELETE ANY TROJANS, WORMS and any other one. They will permanently fuck up the computer. Leave them if you want to go further. Stop checking your emails and playing computer games with logins. Use another computer if you are that desperate. Film. Further more, if you wish to destroy him more, and you did not delete the worms, trojans ect. When the computer starts to play up, blame it on his "game" mention how he downloads some shady stuff. Film reaction.

Find the loudest possible porn website and turn the speakers all the way up without him noticing. Change the icon to that, and have fun. If he's wearing headphones, someone might become deaf however. I know I said not to fuck with him, but a prank that won't have a lasting effect is fun.

Find out his password. Sneak on once a day and delete something from his inventory. He'll go mad wondering where specific items are.

Link his WoW shortcut to a txt file saying "STOP BEING LAZY GET A JOB"

[QUOTE=wanksta11;23911176]Link his WoW shortcut to a txt file saying "STOP BEING LAZY GET A JOB"[/QUOTE] That is soooo win

deleting someones world of warcraft character is really mean and can make someone really upset. people put a lot of time into those things and its a huge dick move to delete them.

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;23898303]I want to do something simple, yet not letting him know it was me[/QUOTE] hide his chair, he won't know it was you. then he cannot play WoW.

[QUOTE=johnnyIERB;23904368]Tell you're mom that there's all sorts of nudity and violent graphic imagery that even you find disturbing. She'll take care of the rest.[/QUOTE] Do this except change the shortcut to WoW to meatspin. 1. Your mom goes upstairs and demands him to show her the game. 2. He gets off his ass, gets on computer and clicks the start icon. 3. It takes him to Goatse 4. He is forever fucked.

change his password, and if you have an iphone/itouch, put an authenticator on for free and scare the shit out of him

Deleting his characters is like burning an architects blueprints, just because you may not like it doesn't mean it's not big cheese to him.

[QUOTE=huggybear_13;23912161]Deleting his characters is like burning an architects blueprints, just because you may not like it doesn't mean it's not big cheese to him.[/QUOTE] Also this. I play WoW, I have 6 level 80s. I'm pretty sure if my brother deleted my shit and I found out it was him I would be pretty pissed. Enough to beat the living fuck out of him. That said you can just get your characters back by putting in a ticket with all of the names, dates they were found deleted/were deleted. If you want to be a smartass you could just send the account information to me. I can handle all of the stuff.

Wow, by coincidence, his graphics card broke this weekend. He kicked me off my computer and is installing WoW now.

You let your brother kick you off your own computer to play a god damn game? Oh come on.

[QUOTE=Velguador;23898236]Did he ever let you play the game, 'to try it out'? If so, you probably have a character on his account. Delete ALL characters on ALL servers, except his worst/least favourite/yours. Delete some essential files (probably .dll's) from the WoW directory, and redirect all 'normal' shortcuts to WoW to something like Lemonparty.org 'Normal' shortcuts include the quick-launch bar, desktop icon and the one you get to via 'Start'. This will put a serious damper on his mood, but there's a problem: only you could have done this. This is where the fake e-mail comes in. Normally these are sent with texts about telling your password or shutting down your account (see above). This time, you make it give a warning that a security-leak on 'whatever OS he uses' is currently in use by hackers, who infect random websites/images/files/anything your brother downloads, and this infection will mess up your WoW files and directories, like a virus custom-made for WoW-players. End it with 'we're still working on this, and any data you lost should be reassigned to you in 2 weeks-one month. We are fully aware of the matter and the players affected, and there is no need to call us up on it. There will be no problems.' The last part will make it so he will probably decide to take the risk and maybe even stops playing for the two-four weeks. After that the second stage opens, where he contacts Blizzard asking for his characters back, who in turn have no idea what this idiot is talking about. Confusion complete. Tip: only do this if you think you can pull it off. You'll have to do some preparations (and film it, if possible) and you'll have to act innocent for a long time. And upload the video only after he's already contacted Blizzard and such, as that may give new (more hilarious) footage for you (us). [b][edit]Just a small list of how it goes.[/b] Clicks desktop icon, goes to Lemonparty. Anger/confusion. Clicks quick-launch icon, idem dito. More anger/confusion. Goes to Start menu, sort of expects it now, same amount of anger/confusion. Gets to the actual .exe in Program Files, manages to enter WoW (maybe reset his password to keep him in this stage for some time). Sees all characters gone. Confusion. Goes to other servers, sees everything is gone, except for his least favourite character. extreme anger/confusion. Reads mail, and sees the 'cause'. Slight relief and talking to himself. "OK Gerald, it'll be alright... it's gonna be OK." Waits anxiously for Blizzard's confirmation four weeks long. Checks back into WoW/e-mail every two hours or so. Confusion and slight sadness. Nothing restored after 4-5 weeks. Great confusion and worry. Calls up to Blizzard, who claim to know nothing. Anger and worry. Mainly anger. Settles down, and grumpily accepts. Either stops completely, or starts anew. In case of the latter, repeat. If done extremely right, he will never play WoW again.[/QUOTE] this. this guy is a genius.

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;23924292]Wow, by coincidence, his graphics card broke this weekend. He kicked me off my computer and is installing WoW now.[/QUOTE] Why are you letting him?

Send all his gold to someone.

Delete his account, Now.

Agree'd ^

Switch his spells around on the toolbar...harmless fun

Place a treadmill infront of the computer.

So he's on your pc now? Password your computer...

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;23898750]I would be able to, I have to help my parents with the bills. My other brother pays for the internet. While this cunt, sits on his ass all day, eating our food, using our internet and our electricity. If he just got a job I would be okay. [editline]01:25PM[/editline] I'm only 15, and I can't save my money or use it for my own[/QUOTE] Rather than ignoring the main picture you will get better results by bringing up these problems to him and your family and trying to come to a proper well thought out solution. Keep in the mind that what he does and enjoys is not the problem, instead it is himself that is the problem.

make a bat that closes down explorer.exe on startup(comboed with the screenshot of his background thing), then the bar will be gone too.
