i was playing a level 70 warrior on my mates account i worked him from the ground up to get to 70
he played a 70 hunter. then switched made mine the main in his guild
was on server sunstrider. and had most of the top gear at the time both had outstanding gear. not to mention all the top arena gear. but he sold aco****
think he got like £500 for it nvm. it was fun while it lasted. especially being gnome warrior. escape artist on top of those escap trinkets. mages nightmare. had a hell of alot of crit then respecced fury instead of mortal strike. because the guild on the server needed a dpser.
ended up second highest damger a few times. only out damaged by warlock occasionally. was a good little warrior.
cant remeber the guild. think it was randoms on the sunstrider server, top guild pretty much. first to do growl etc. b4 the nerf too.
i havent played wow in ages.

LOL!!! Guess me and my guild are newbs then as we're newbing it in black temple instead of being imba in av :roll:
Like any game it's about choice, some prefer to pvp and some pve. Personally I pvp a little with my priest, but on the whole I prefer to pve with my mage as I get to experience more than the usual battlegrounds/arenas day in, day out. I love learning new encounters and working with another 24 people to try and kill some damned boss... you just can't beat the euphoria you feel after killing a boss you've been fighting for weeks!
Each to their own I say... what a boring world it would be if we were all the same/enjoyed the same things :)

Myself, Angela, Wintermute and Bobbin play on Outland EU on the alliance side. Some of the dutchies (siers, sovetnik, vickorie and scaggy) play on Defias Brotherhood EU horde side (I have a little pally there now so I can chat with them). :) Alas on Outland I am not in the same guild as the rest.

I've been slowly getting tempted to give WoW one more chance, mainly in light of lack of any other MMO's out atm (or coming out soon), and because quite a few of you guys play it. We'll see... still not got around to it yet, and one thing putting me off is the amount of add-ons/macros/whatever else Angela seems to have and you (Stef) and Dave have talked about the last time we all met up... sounds like there's tonnes of third party stuff you really need to play the game, putting me off just firing it up and creating a char!
(I'm only interested in PVE, and generally tend to solo... (Dave said Night Elf hunter or any raced Warlock would be good for that)
LadyDarkAngel
18-03-2008, 07:42 PM
Rogues are also good for solo play. And the add-ons are a choice. I use more than most because of the amount of 25-main raiding I do, and they make things easier (like raid warnings, easier decursing, targeting of raid members etc.) I would say the most valuable add-on would be auctioneer as it helps make some money at the auction house by scanning and storing data, otherwise most aren't necessary :)
Oh and Angela has too many addons (most of them useless ;) ), I think she downloaded every addon out there :P
Bobbin
18-03-2008, 10:58 PM
Indeed, Anglea has far too many...
I only use a few Addons... A quest one because well, i suck at questing, and it gives me hint in game rather than tabbing to a browser... A bag mod, and fubar.. which has a load of useful **** on it...oh and auctioneer too... and a map mod for co-ordinates :P but in all honesty.. you don't need any of that... it's just to make stuff easier :P
Angela
18-03-2008, 11:09 PM
lol ive got rid of most of my addons, i have omen, quest helper, arkinventory, auctioneer .necrosis which is just for warlocks, i added atlast loot today as i was to lazy to go and find out what all the drops where in kara and gruul! probably have a map one as well as im terrible with directions!
But ofc you dont need addons to play wow it just makes life sometimes easier!
I would never be without omen, quest helper and auctioneer, necrosis i could probably live without!

There is a level cap at 70...
The original had a cap of 60.
Burning Crusade has one of 70.
Wrath of the Lich King will have one of 80.

You think im bad, was talking to someone in my guild and i made a comment about how we will need to install all our addons again due to the patch, and they said they had 60! i repeat 60 addons!! but only used 10 of them!
Cyrus
26-03-2008, 01:48 PM
problem with using so many addons is it messes up the UI, i would actually call shenangans on him actually having 60 running addons
i have a 70 troll priest and a 60 drenai shammy on my current account both of stormrage EU

Don't play Mage solo.. Damned hard work!!
Warlock is good, as is rogue, and hunter ofc... erm.. paladin maybe... or do what i did, throw away all advice and roll a Mage anyway...
on a plus note... got my mount today :D
Cyrus

Roll hunter its the best class to play without a doubt
or if you really want roll a shammy.

well on my second day i have a lvl 12 night elf rogue with secondary professions of skinning and enchanting (both about 40-50 skill) pretty poor equipment but im grinding to level up and with the money i hope to improve my gear
anyone willing to pm me here or in irc with some tips as im a complete n00b
Cyrus
02-04-2008, 05:13 PM
i would say to you to either drop skinning for mining or herb, or drop enchanting for leather working.
reason being skinning if by far the worst collection profession and the only reason to have it would be mto make yourself gear from leatherworking.
Bobbin
02-04-2008, 05:26 PM
keep Enchanting... proper good money maker, i make a small fortune in buying greens that are under 20s off the AH, Disenchanting them, and selling them back tis easy money...
erm, yeah skinning is a bit poor, herb is a good source of income.... people like me who have alc and no herb are always looking to buy herbs :P
Skinning is OK IMO.
Later on particularly at the level 30s, you can make lots of money fast and easily due to quests/mobs in Strangelthorn. Have Mining as a prof as well, makes quite a bit of money.

Pfffffff, it's all about Age of Conan! :D
Age of Reckoning looks pretty good but from what I've seen so far, it's too PvP orientated, so might get tiresome after a while...gonna see what some people say about it after a few months then might contemplate on getting it if the comments are good

Looking out for Age of Reckoning, and Conan, we'll see what they have to offer.
In the mean time I have actually created my WoW character now. Not played too much, but I have a Gnome Warlock on the Outlands (I think?) server, same server as LadyDarkAngel, Bobbin, Angela and Wintermute from Bush (and possibly others?).

Love WoW, always have, always will.
Not playing atm though, not since January 30th :(
Raided MC with my rogue WAAAAAAAAAAAY back in the day, Night Elf male.
Switched to my hunter just before raggie and raided with her from summer 2005 (before hunters were "fixed" :p) right through mc, bwl, aq and naxx pre-TBC. Levelled to 70 in tier3 and cleared kara, gruul, mag and up to vashj phase 3 a few times before I couldn't support the hardcore life anymore.
Have 3 70s now, though if I kept playing, I'd have more by now. Hunter, Moonkin and Shadow Draenei. Multiple alts 60-69 and a few sub 60s.
I still get stick from my friends for the 3 years I played it, but i shrug it off, I love the game too much to let it get to me <3

looks like im the only one that things horde is better then alliance...must be because i dont play on official lol
Cyrus
10-05-2008, 10:23 AM
no i agree with you the horde is muchy better than alliance.
alliance side prices are too high
too many kids play alliance side
leveling up is faster on horde
its easier to get around on horde to decent places
just afew reasons why horde is much better :)
D3CYPH3R
10-05-2008, 11:29 AM
too many kids play alliance side
A common misconception, i have high lvl chars on 2 very busy servers and tbh there is very little difference in attitudes and ages on horde and alliance, just as many kids wanna be the nasty Horde as the 'pretty' Alliance. I mean after all nothing i quite as juvenile up as barrens chat.
Cyrus
10-05-2008, 11:38 AM
maybe its just the unlucky pick of servers ive chosen, but ive had alliance and horde characters on around 5 servers and both i find horde are more grown up about things, obviously there's gonna be afew loose cannons i mean common alot of people on a server
i started on alliance and i was just like horde are jsut trying to make anything up to make the horde sound better, but it was really true, maybe the servers your on are different to the ones i were on.
i agree cyrus generally the ally side are a bit childish and such, also more bugabusers there on the private server i play

I started out Ally on 2 servers here in the US. Then made a horde to see if there was any difference.
I've found the Ally are extremely arrogant. While a lot of the horde are just laid back and relaxed.
So my conclusion, Ally = ex Everquesters... and Horde FTW!

man it really is if your leveling without a shadow of a doubt, on horde there is a place for every level unlike alliance there is often deadspots in your leveling.
i feel with your horde sucks quote that youve got an alliance character and not played actively on horde at high level, because if you did you would see the difference.
like pdunk said, they are more laid back and relaxed.

I'm only going to say this on the matter: people who say "alliance suck" or "horde suck" definitively deserve a kick to the face. Several times.
You cannot conclusively say that one faction is 'better' than the other when you will always find assholes wherever you go - some people you may be kinder towards as you think they're sometimes funny, others you'll think are just muppets - it's the same on every damn server. No one faction is better than the other, guaranteed.
I had several characters when I used to play - both Horde and Alliance (most at level cap) - on different servers and both servers were completely different in attitude. One server was full of kids who would just piss you off no end, both Horde AND Alliance (I know because I had friends on the Horde side), the other had the nicest people you could've ever possibly imagined. It's completely hit and miss. People who say "Alliance suck" and play Horde are guaranteed fools. People who say "Horde suck" and play Alliance are guaranteed pillocks.
As Ralph Emerson once said: "People only see what they are prepared to see." If you play as one faction, you expect the other to be crap. It's human nature. Grow up, and get back to serious discussion instead of this bull-hicky playground nonsense!

Got a lvl 10 Night Elf Druid @ Outlands.
Only thing is - i played guildwars before and you actually got to see other life real characters around the map.
It seems everywhere i go now - i'm lucky to see a single person in hours ;s
Anyone still play? :)
Darryl
25-05-2008, 12:11 AM
Headed into a major city yet, Twigley? There'll be hundreds of people there.
You're not going to have that many people levelling up at level 10, and there's more than a few zones that you can be doing quests in at any one time. You'll also see more people around when you start questing in contested territories,rather than Horde only areas. If all else fails, come and play on the same realm as Cal and I! ;P

More mobs for you to grind on and more mines/herbs for you :P
Hey Yang!

These include changes to base class abilities and talents, including the addition of the completely new class: The Death Knight; as well as changes to the basics of the game, with professions being improved, and Inscription being introduced.

Delete and try again imo ;p
I have a question... why do horde players enjoy ganking alliance players so much in Stanglethorn Vale? What sense of enjoyment do they actually get from it? :/
Also, do alliance players have a habit of ganking the horde players in Stranglethorn Vale? Or is it just a strange horde fixation? Just wondering because it's really slowing down my entire levelling process :P The irony is that in Desolace most players on both sides tend to help eachother out...

get ure butsky onto a PvE realm and the whole problem disappears :P
But then I have to start a character all over again :P And I've only got 2 more weeks before I go back to uni \o/
Perhaps you're right, got any ideas for a nice solo race / class on the Horde side? Remember I doubt I'll get past level 20 :P I've yet to try being a warrior, perhaps an orc could do the trick. I've tried Hunter, Warlock, Priest, Mage so far. Ideas? :D

15-08-2008, 09:40 AM
pick a realm and i'll come join u :P
orc warrior is probably as stereotypical a character u can get :P but they do do the job pretty well :)
im having the urge to make a troll priest so u know we could like help each other :P
Hehehe, I've never played in the Orc starting regions and I love exploration, so it would be awesome to get to know a new character AND a new environment :)
Also, it's something to do on the round break ;) Just need to pick a nice, empty PvE realm now and I'll start tonight hahaha :D

Tell you what Ogluk, pick a realm for me and I'll start a character tonight if I get the chance :)
Hmm, I am just about to start a Horde character in Ghostlands, I think that's one of the ones you mentioned before Ogluk :D I shall see you at some point in game no doubt ;) Orc Warrior named Worgen.

STV is well known for being the ganking capital of the world.
I'm not quite sure why, but it's possibly because at level 30 it is the first zone in which horde and alliance actively quest in the same area (places like 1k needles, hillsbrad, duskwood don't really have equal quests for both sides) with the neutral goblin town being the major quest hub.
My theory as to why it's more horde dominated is due to grom'gol being in the middle of the map, with a flight path there (until 2.3 the alliance didn't have their FP in the rebel camp) and more importantly a graveyard. This made it much easier for horde to quest in the zone and if ganked, recover faster, as well as more easily call in help from idle max levels in orgrimmar.
A lot of people (alliance) I know don't even go to STV to level, despite the insane number of quests and mob density, making it one of the best zones to level 30-40+, because of the ganking, which is a shame, though I still do the low level quests and now move onto Dustwallow Marsh instead (as it tends to be safer :P). But before 2.3 was introduced I would do a lot of stv, only going to desolace when absolutely necessary (god tbh it's a hole :P).
Although changed in the latest patch, mounts weren't about till level 40, meaning that such a long zone was a pita to traverse (and not to mention at that pace, perilous) which was another drawback to the zone. This is better with lvl 30 mounts now though.
STV is amazing, you can get like a good few levels at blazing speeds if you know what you're doing.
And as for ganks, use /1 chat to ask for help with ganks, or ask guildies or just be good at PvP, if you're a hunter/warlock you can kill any other class at that level easily if you know what you are doing :) And also might be wise to carry some health pots or invisibility pots along with you escapes :P

LOL!!! Laughing Skull is the server I (and the rest of the guild) moved away from last year as it was dead and horde > alliance something like 70/1!! Moved to Outland and never looked back :)
Anyway, in answer to Max, I play on both sides, alliance and horde and I can assure you I get ganked equally as much in STV. I completely skip that area now when levelling as it takes far too much time otherwise. Those are the trials of being on pvp servers. Personally, I'm not a pvp fan, but I'd rather be on a pvp server than a "carebear" server. :P
Carebear - this term is used by pvp'ers towards pve'ers as a description of something soft and weak :P
What's the ETA of WoTLK? Anyone got into the Beta?

A few of my guildies are on the Beta... alas I thought I'd gotten an invite too but it turned out to be a scam to try and obtain my account details :mad:
I've heard reports WotLK is due out early November... although I'm in no hurry for it. I't rather we clear SWP before that comes out (Brutallus wipe at 3% is frustrating!) ARGH

It entirely depends on what you play for. I play WoW like I played Bushtarion... extremely seriously :P I am a hardcore raider who wants to see her guild clear every last bit of TBC content before the next expansion comes out. This was achieved months ago, before patch 2.4 when SWP was introduced so now we're desperately trying to clear SWP (alas we've only downed the first boss up to now, but boss 2 is imminent) :)

LOL, my guild is totally opposite, we are aiming to do the expansion as 10mans first, we really can't do 25's lol, which is a shame as i would like to get to the end but hey, i don't mind too much, raiding is brill, no1 takes it deadly serious, hell, we occasionally throw in a few leeroy's to spice it up
LEEEEEEROY JENKINS!
Apparently it's out early October...
so far from what I've heard the Beta is pretty shitty due to immense lags, especially in Death Knight starting area

I played this quite heavily for around 10 months, i thoroughly enjoyed the game, proberbly the best game ive ever played. However its highly addictive. I would not recommend this to anyone who has an addictive nature. My best mate in r/l quit after having played for 4 years and basically the reason i did also. I also realised i was spending way too much time on the game. Anyone still playing i highly recommend quitting if your addicted. Its really not good. I ended up playing horde side with 2 warriors, level 70 and 80, both in T7.5 and T4. Also had a 70 warlock and 54 Priest
