Anybody playing 'World of Warcraft'

[Laura]

That looks fun!! My computer isn't fast enough  

[Dom]

Ok, I bought it and am installing it right now.  I'm proly going to play horde cuz it looks like that's what's hip.   Von, what side are you on?

[captain]

ok i know that this may not be the rite place to be asking these questions but i might as well:

1.after you buy the initial game do you need to be paying anymore fees for the battle.net connection

2.is there any expansion sets i should be worried about buying BEFORE i get the main version

[Von Vester]

Dom: Welcome aboard. I have played both Alliance and Horde but my most played character is Horde. It seems that there are fewer adolescence in Horde so the probability of getting a good group is better. I play in the Khadgar realm most. If you have a character let me know its name and I'll look you up. Chinox22x is in Burning Legion also. Let me know when you are ready to go and I'll start a new character in Horde or Alliance, which ever one you choose. The first 6 level you should stay in your home city and complete all the quests. From there venture out and the world is you oyster, though some area will be so ttough that just running (and I mean running) through them is lethal.

captain: Cost include the initial cost of the game, $50, and a monthly fee after the first month. Monthly fee is $17 I think. No expansions yet, however, after initial installation you will have to take about 45 minutes to download (free) the latest version with updates and patches.

Von, what race/profession are you?  Like I said earlier I should probably choose something that compliments the other players in my group.  I have been playing a gnome hunter and the gun is fun but my coworker says that they aren't as strong as the wizards when you get to high levels.  That seems to be the case with all of the RPGs, that the warrior types are stronger at lower levels and the wizards always clean house at the top levels.

werd werd, Mal'Ganis is where it's at.

60 UD Rogue
34 Tauren Warrior
25 Orc Shaman

yeah, i'm a big big nerd.  but if anyone wants to start a new char on Mal'Ganis i've got a mid sized guild up and running for the horde.

[Dom]

I do!  I'll be playing tonight...what should I choose?  I'll be on around 5:30PST.

[Zarathustra]

choose whatever you want man, we've got most everything already, so no spots need to be filled, just anything you like.

when you get on, either look for dominix, darzuk, or loadstone.  i should be on one of them tonight at some point.

[Dom]

Sweet.  Then what would you recommend?  I just started yesterday so if you had to start with a new char what would you do?  vOr are they all pretty much equal at higher levels?

[Zarathustra]

well being equal doesn't say anything about their utility.  every class has a fairly equal chance at killing another class in pvp, if played well.  sure, some classes have slight advantages over other classes, but that means that while a class might have an easier time killing you, you have an easier time killing a dif class.

really what it comes down to is the role that you want to play in a group.  rogues straight damage dealers, warriors contain monsters to hold their damage, priests heal, or if shadow priests, do good damage and heal slightly less effectively, druids are good secondary healers, or if played in feral form can mimic a warrior or rogue while being slightly less powerful than a pure class, hunters are dps with a pet to help the main tank by off-tanking additional mobs, warlocks are like hunters, but casting based instead of weapons, and with more variety in their pets, and shaman are kind of a jack of all trades.  in my guild we have a decent split of all classes, though i don't think we have any druids.  so if you care to play one of those, that'd be cool.  but unlike warriors and priests (the necessary staples of a group) druids are nice but nut necessary, so feel free to play anything you want.  no matter what you choose, chances are we can stick you in a group, and it will work out great.

also, i'm not sure if you're a power gamer, or more of an experience one.  meaning, do you want items and help from the get go, or would you prefer to play through pure and only use things you find?  both can be fun, i just wanted to know so i can tell people how to interract with you.

my guild is mostly real life friends, with some people from ingame in addition.  i think we have a lvl 10 in our guild who could play with you, and a few other people have been thinking about starting new characters as well.  however, the first time you're really going to need to start grouping comes around lvl 18 for your first instance.  so you could easily catch up to our pack of mid 20 members and be grouping with them in no time as well.

[Von Vester]

Zarathustra and Dom: I just started a new Toll Warrion in the Mal'Ganis realm. My name is 'Vonjin'. Add that to your 'Friends' list and send me a message if you see me on. I have already added your three names to my 'Friends' list Zara. However, other than chatting I don't see your high level characters doing much interacting with my low level peon just yet. Though in the future we may stand side-by-side and deliver punishment to the Forces of Light.

[Zarathustra]

hey that's cool man, you can team up with dom, and my friend the 10th lvl shaman soon enough.  and mid 20's arn't that hard to get to, and we have a pack of 5 there, and 6 more in their low to mid 30's, a few more in their 40's, and me and another at 50+.  and hey, we're welcome to new players anyway, trying to beef our ranks a bit and get some new blood into the guild so we do have people of all lvls around so that we can maximize grouping.  so if you two find people your lvl to play with also who are looking for some good guys and good players, you're welcome to put them up for joining.  (and by offering to let you two join, i'm already assuming you're not asses    )

edit:  and if you're hoping to have some idea as to the kind of guy i am, other than motorcycles and nerdery, i'm sure you can can a taste of my personality from the ghey marriage thread, but other than that, it's been a long time since i've been on these boards (i'm a die hard liberal).

[Dom]

I started a Tauran Druid tonight.  Good times.  Made it to level 7.  Will look for you both tomorrow night.  My name is Hallow.

[Von Vester]

Dom: I see your last post was posted at 2:04 am. Somebody is addicted alraedy.

I'll try to get on this evening and plug your name into my friends list. We can work aour ways toward Crossroads and meet, share quests and help each other out.

chinox22x: If you're up to playing another character then create a new Horde character in Mal'Ganis and join Dom and myself or our long journey to the Halls of Heros.... well.....perhaps not that grand, but anyway, it'll be a lot of of good ole' fashion butt whoop'in.

[yamahonkawazuki]

naah, goin planetside (addictive as hell) :x , i go to work, all i do while at work, is plan missions lol

[Dom]

Yeah, I get wrapped up in RPGs.  I look at it this way; as a result I'll go to the bar less and as a result spend less $ and drink less.  OK, so my pool game will go all to hell but I can live with that, ok maybe I can't but it'll help me save up $ for the pool table that I'm putting in the garage.  

[yamahonkawazuki]

or you can save up fer them tights lol  :nana:

[Daniely]

Has PS gotten any better since beta? How many people still play it?

[Dom]

or you can save up fer them tights lol  :nana:

Jerk.  You told me that you gained too much weight over the holidays and that all your tights made your butt look big and that you were giving me all of your old ones.  What's the deal?

[Zarathustra]

oi, sorry i wasn't on last night like i said i would be.  kind of got drunk with the roomates instead.  my roomate came home with a 1/2 gallon jug of rogue dead guy ale for me, and that, combined with a pbr, was all she wrote.  i will be on tonight though, and possibly mid afternoonish, after maitenance gets over.
