Quick question... I'm going to be closing my account in the next couple weeks here in preparation for moving to Germany at the end of the month, where I likely won't have internet access nor the time to play. How do you go about doing this? I've heard some of yall talk about reactivating your accounts and playing your old characters; does this mean that if I cancel and then decide to come back later, my characters will still be there?

To the guy asking about BWL, if you haven't farmed MC to death yet I recommend just sticking with that. BWL encounters are so buggy and random at this point that it is not really worth the time investment for the average guild. We have engaged the second boss (Valesestreareaasas or something like that
![]() So, honestly, if you are not farming Ragnaros I suggest working on him and waiting for Blizzard to properly fix the BWL encounters before frustrating yourself with them.

I won the game two nights ago! Well not really of course, but in my mind, Onyxia was the original gangster of bosses since she was the only one around when I created my character. I hit 60 about a week ago and rushed through the Ony key quests so I could hop in our weekly raid on Monday nights. We wiped the first three times at about 30% then managed to devour her on our fourth. Someone started a chain-ressurection at about 25% and we wound up having virtually every healer (shaman, druid, priest) alive and strong when we killed her. Aside from the regular Ony loot, she dropped two cloth pieces, cornerstone offhand, and deathbringer which I won the roll on but handed down to a warrior I like. What a fun and exciting fight! I can't wait to farm this chic.

Yeah, been busy in BWL. Currently stuck on boss #6, "Chromaggus". And no offense Seretogis but if the fights seem too random maybe you're doing something wrong?

We gave up on BWL to focus on Onyxia and MC. We've got ony on 30min farm status (I've lost twice on 10storms now) and mc sub-bosses run strong every weekend.
Our guild is fun and the people are cool, devoted, and strong, however I'm envious of guilds that are way ahead of the game and well into BWL finding the newest of loot. I play mmo's for the role of it, and when it comes to loot, I hate being the guy who has the same item as 80% of the other people on the server. Hope you guys are getting hot drops there!

Finally got Cland to 60 a few days ago. Except he's a rogue so the game sort of ends there...only half kidding.
I've been thinking about a mage, it's wierd though, any characters I play I usually decide first what is simply cool to me, then go on gameplay. With a mage I seem to like the gameplay when I'm playing. But when I'm not, I've got no cool factor for it to make me want to go back and continue. The other thing being, in my eyes, gnomes make the best mages (for alliance), but Im not sure I can stand playing a gnome for my main. Theyre just too goofy and gear doesnt show up well on them. Since I've played 1-60 this would be more of an end game character, but if the cool loot doesnt even show up like it should, well why bother? Anyways the solution would be just play a human, but #1 I think they look a bit goofy too, #2 boring, and #3 they arnt the "best" race (in my mind) so it bothers me a bit. An undead might work, except I want to play with my alliance guild. Plus theres all that money my main has that would be wasted if I went to another server (on pvp so I cant make horde on the same server). Then theres the annoyance of having to level again on a pvp server, and I think I'd just be better off without it..but again i'd be leaving my guilld, a decent guild I finally found after all this time. Well I'm surprised if anyone is still reading this...just rambling really. |

I havent bought it yet, but i've got friends sending me screenshots, enticing me. I'm afraid. I get addicted to games. I'm just ordering a $3000 system with everything full out, so the game should run seamelessly (I plan to do a lot of video editing).... but man, i'm scared. It's as addictive as they say, isn't it?

Lasereth, were you involved with any guilds that used Dragon Kill Points (DKP) as the method of loot distribution? They're far from random.
Basically you earn points by showing up for raids on time and killing bosses. Once you've accumulated enough points, usually over the course of several raids, you can use them to 'buy' an uber-drop and get it without having to roll on it (unless more than one person has the DKP required to buy it, but even if you lose in such a situation then the winner will be weeks behind you if you were roughly equal going into it). You need a consistent raiding group to pull it off but a DKP system is a good way to ensure that everyone at the same level of participation gets roughly the same rewards. I can't imagine random-rolling vs. the other 5-odd shamans that are regularly in my guild raid for my MC gear.

![]() I know there are no other games that offer this, but it doesn't change my opinion that it is needed. DKP is a good system, but it benefits the freaks, not the average player. The average player will NEVER be able to get a drop in 40-man raids because the people who go everytime will have more DKP than them. -Lasereth

Why would you use DKP in any other instances than MC/BWL?

Ahh ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. I'd never heard of using DKP in pre-MC/BWL, so was curious. :P

Man, Lasereth be glad you guys quit. PR had a falling out and ALOT of people have left. It's almost not worth it to find another guild. Anyway, My rogue is about to hit 60 and so far PVP is so much more fun than it ever was with my pally or priest. I just hope the ranking system gets some much needed work.
Peace out, Reese - Bleeding Hollow

At The Globe Showing Will How Its Done

Greetings All,
In short, how does an Alliance Raid beat the first room in BWL? I was invited as a fillin for new raiding guild (a merger). We tried three or four times went and repaired and tried it again. We divided into four groups (at the corners) and a warrior was trying to train the mob. Is there another way? I didnt really appreciate the 3g repair bill so if I do this again I would like to offer a different strategy. Thanks

I asked this same question a few pages back and got mixed results. I'm interested in hearing any current explanations (post patch, etc) as well.

I agree 100% with laserath's above posts. I have a 60 mage and a 60 warrior, and my mage is in a MC guild, but they do DKP and I am too busy living life to devote 6+ hours to a MC run, 2 hours for Ony, and who knows how long in BWL. For that reason, I barely make raids, which isn't a big deal, but whats the point of raiding if not for loots? Also the pvp is really fun, but it is so hard to gain ranks because of the people getting 3, 4, 500k contribution points each week. It's rediculous.

Not to entirely threadjack, as I don't play WOW..
But DKP was definitely not invited in WOW. The earliest existance I know of was in EQ1..

So much going on in WoW recently. Many guilds finishing BWL, ZG comes out, links of new purples galore in guild chat.....
![]() Our guild had two full groups run ZG for the first time non-test server tonight. G1 got through three bosses and G2 (mine) only through the Bat-Princess lady. It was a really good time all in all. Time to farm Hakkar more than MC ![]() http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...p=1#post569585 Random fact: Elitist Jerks (EJ) is on my realm and was the first to down Hakkar on the test server. Wonder if they've killed him since the patch yet.

Man I was suprised my server had few problems last night or at least didnt see any on the forums. All the changes and now seems like the waits for any of the BGs are less. So all in all I think blizzard is doing a better job. Still need to test out all my chars just to make sure. But gotta give it up to blizzard for this one.
