/Random algorythm hacked - High roll addon released
A few days ago, someone managed to decode the algorythm behind /random calculations, it didn't take long to exploit it and release an addon to get very high /random 100 everytime : Highroller. This AddOn uses an advanced algorithm to time your roll requests to the server in order to increase your average roll value.

Note that the addon is rather large due to the advanced algorithm. It must take into account things such as Name, Race, Class, guild name, and position. I have done everything I can to make the addon as fast an efficient as possible (I use both Ace2 and Rock so that its twice as fast!)

How to install
1. Download and extract the mod in your usual "World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons/" directory.
2. Enter the game and calibrate the mod by doing the following :
- /random 100 (5 times)
- /random 200 (5 times)
- /random 1000 (10 times)
3. This should be enough to detect everything needed on the server, if your average /random 100 value is below 96 just do a few more /random 1000.

2008 WoW Arena Tournament Has Begun
Quote from: Bornakk (Source)
The 2008 World of Warcraft Arena Tournament has now officially begun. Players from around the world can compete on our special tournament realms using the new tournament format. We have leveled the playing field by allowing participants to choose and customize their character and equipment and team up with fellow players to clash in 3-vs.-3 Arena battles. For more information on the tournament, including how to register and participate, please visit our Arena Tournament information page. Good luck and good fight!

However, players live tournament realms are experiencing a few problems with the lag and bugs, the practice window will probably be extended for a few days because of that.

We are aware of the lag issues, including vendor, item purchase, zoneing lag, and spinning up arena matches, and are working with our operations team to find out what is causing the problem. Something with the live environment is causing the issues - something we didn't see on the Tournament Test Realm.

Yes. We will most likely extend the practice window for a few days, at least.




Tournament registration restrictions
There is no ETA for the end of registrations to the Arena Tournament, Thundgot also explain why it's not possible to let all the countries participate in the event.

Tournament registration is not closed. We do not currently have a time at which it will be closed.

We do understand and share the frustration some express about not being able to participate, but unfortunately there are laws and regulations that prevent us from including all countries in contests and this kind of tournaments. The restrictions vary based on the exact contests and tournaments (luck factor and prize value being two key points), and while we try to adapt most contests and tournaments to include as many as possible, spanning all - or even most - European countries with these events is very tricky.

At the same time we do wish to have these events in Europe, and also not make them a significantly "lighter" version of those in other regions. We see this as "include as many as possible", not an "everybody or nobody" scenario, and continually work to include as many countries as possible in each event.
