[QUOTE=Zally13;23910724]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.[/QUOTE]
if he played wow since release date, hees spent $800 dollars on subscription alone ,id rape you if you made me lose that much money and 5-6 years of playtime , this doest include if he spends $40 for faction switches server switches or character changes.
I think the OP should just be the bigger man and talk to him if its taking over his life
Just fuck with the fusebox
Send his account details to me.
Get an external hard drive and move his characters or some important files over to it. After he finds out, tell him that you did it and demand money for him to get his characters back.
Set up the shortcut for WoW to shut down his computer. Every time he tries to play, it just turns off nicely.
Delete everything and stick a magnet to his hard-drive. Your brother is a non-contributing, leeching douche.
[QUOTE=soderholm15;23898175]Make his WoW Shortcut direct to meatspin :downs:[/QUOTE]
this
1. Find AC adapter of his laptop/computer
2. Cut the cord
3. Proceed to your internet connection cord and cut that
If he is using a wireless connection, make sure you change the password
4. Get all the WoW discs and find a rather heavy object
5. Smash the discs all up and place in a bin
6. Make sure his cover (the thing WoW came in) is untouched.
7. Tell your parents you can sleep over at your best friends house for a day or two
8. Return home with your coolface on
I talked to an Ex-gm about character deleting and whatnot. He said the best way to annoy someone on WoW is to shard (disenchant) their gear, spend any honor or rep, and THEN delete their character.
Otherwise it's too easy to get their shit back.
leave him alone, how would you like it if someone deleted your steam account or got it banned
Deleting his account/giving out his password is cruel. Uninstalling the game is fine.
Whatever you do, DON'T delete his account. (Or give out his password.) Like other people said, there is a difference between deleting the account, uninstalling the game, and making shortcuts go to odd websites.
Alright, listen to exhale, WoW is taking over his fucking LIFE. Get his fat ass off his computer or else he'll end up like Fat Bastard.
Get him into fucking therapy if it doesn't work.
Like I said:
Deleting the account-Cruel. That's a douche move. BUT, it could make him stop. So it's possible he never plays again. (But I think it should be up to him.)
Uninstalling the game-Mean, but could get him off of it for a while. A nice small break. :smile:
Making the shortcuts go to odd websites-Easily fixable. You BOTH might get a laugh out of it. If he doesn't laugh, he'll shrug it off.
[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]
Wow, you really put a lot of thought into that.
Options:
1: Get rid of his gaming chair.
2: Confront him face to face about this.
3: Use your computer skills to put a shit load of porn on his desktop.
4: Link him to a porn site via wow shortcuts.
5: Hide his keyboard/mouse/speakers.
6: Introduce him to Runescape.
7: Make running wow require you to enter a password.
8: Put something gooey in his mouse/keyboard so things get stuck.
9: How about telling your parents that your brother is a lazy fucktard?
edit the realmlist.wtf to a private server that has auto register
Delete all his items and give his gold away
Delete his toons
I'm sure Blizzard can give them back upon request
