Wow is right! I'm in and playing retail! Is there going to be another guild (RedJake, Lasereth?)

Which server is everybody playing on?

What are your Retail character names?

I'm so elated, I have not blinked in about 12 mins...

the more the merrier :thumbsup:

So, here's a post for you WoW junkies.

I, destr0x, have never played a mmorpg but am maybe thinking about doing so. I truely love rpg's of all flavors including fps style (morrowind, vampire masqueredes, etc) 2d Fallout style and ones like Neverwinter Nights.

So lets take WoW for instance, what would it be most similar to, and would it be hard to just jump right in? Anything that is good to know as a beginner, do's and dont's.

Sell me a winning pitch. ;)

easy to get into, hard to master. you'll love it. buy it!

Man I wish you guys wherent on the east coast need a west coast guild damn.

Just got it, woot! Finally, the wait is over!

Rebellion - Undead Rogue on Bleeding Hollow

I look forward to killing you alliance scum!

Destro:

WoW is one of the most "noob" friendly mmorpgs I've played. Your hand is pretty much held through the first few levels where you learn the ins and outs. Here are a few tips.

1. READ YOUR QUEST LOG!! I cannot stress this enough. You will find all the information you need to know for all your quests here. Sure you may have to wander around looking for a specific spot but the info provided there is more than enough to start off.

2. Guards in towns will show you the way. If you click on a guard you will get a dialog box. You can then ask him about any type of npcs in the town. Say you ask where the Hunter trainer is, they will tell you and then a dot will appear on your map.

3. Take as many quests as you can(you can have up to 20). Most of these quests will involve killing things you'll be killing anyway or collecting things that they drop. Trust me, the quests are worth the XP....and sometimes the reward.

4. Dont be afraid to group. Groups are a good way to get a quest that is a bit high for you completed. Some people will just invite you without asking, if you're adverse to this just decline and whisper to them you do not want a group. I don't really care if they ask or not, once in the group I find out what is going on, if they're working on the same quest why not help each other out...it is a mmorpg after all.

5. Try to keep out of the general chat dumbassery( I just made that one up) You'll see what I mean after 5 mins of being in game.

6. Go PvP. Kill Alliance scumbags.

7. Get Cosmos UI . It blows away the default UI. You may want to wait few on this though, until you're ok with the game.

The two servers for World of Warcraft:

Eastern Server Lothar Normal Alliance

Eastern Server Warsong PvP Horde

I hear that choosing an East Coast server if you live on the West Coast or vice versa doesn't affect gameplay at all. The only thing that would be off was the hours of tech support. You'd have to call 3 hours ahead of time for any questions!

-Lasereth

hey everyone, havn't play a MMORPG in probaly 2 years (stopped playing EQ during POP)


Hoping to try out WOW but I hadn't even tried to get into the beta and havn't played a game like this in forever, think I could join for a little while in your guild even if i'll probaly be clueless lol?

All my old eq friends want me to join some uber guild but I really don't think I will have the time to commit these days with school and so on.

This sucks, I was already on MalGanis... now I have to start a new guy.

Lucius lvl 7 human mage on Bleeding Hollow on now, look me up!

I logged out for some strange reason, then had to wait in a que for 40 mins, then my game crashed, and now I am in another 40 min que just to get back in and play the game that I just spent 50 dollars on! :mad:

Stormrage was overcrowded like hell, i dropped it like a bad habit and went too bloodhoof...........

I went to the west coast server garganosh or something like that because there was no wait. I got to level 6 with my tauren warrior "Circe" and then the lag set in. So far I have a good impression of the game, provided they fix lag issues. The graphics are excellent despite so much fanboy-wanker whinning. The map seems nearly useless, it doesn't tell me which ways are passable through the mountains or not. I gave up on one quest because I couldn't find the jerkbait whose head I was supposed to gather. I was in a party for a few minutes but then a kodo killed us both :] Looking forward to an extended weekend of play. I hope the quests become more imaginative once I level up.

A few questions:
1)Can I have more than one character per server?
2)If my normal server is busy can I move my character to another server with less traffic?
3)How characters are you allowed to have?

Thanks

1. Yes, either 8 or 10.
2. You can move to another server but your characters do not move with you (so far...they may change this later on, Sony did with EQ).
3. I believe the limit is 50.

-Lasereth

The freaking World Server has been down for the past hour or so!
Danm this World of Warcrack!

Our server has been down for 10 hours. :( This launch is craptacular! I hope it gets better when the servers come back up within the hour.

-Lasereth

This vexes me, I am vexed.

Keep yourself entertained..

That's great Munku, Does it eventually get to zero, then you get in and play for a few mins, then the game crashes, and you have to wait in the que again? That would be perfect!

Frostwolf, west coast PVP server.

Playing with a bunch of friends. We're probably going to start our own guild or some of us might try to join Flowers of Happiness (www.notacult.com).

I'm under the name Zangief, as a Tauren Warrior.

LMAO. Oh geez. That's terrible.

If there happen to be any Horde players on East Coast server Argent Dawn, give me a yell. My name's Ghalean in game. We have a decent sized group that we quest with, and are going to be starting a guild soon.

my name is Mittens- on the Uther server if anyone wants to say hi :)

What cha waitin',what cha waitin for???


Tick tock,tick tock.

Had my first taste of PvP today!

I was heading to Orgrimmar after getting off the Zepplinn, and I soon as I get down the tower, there's a group of 4 NEs killing boars in the area. I immediately Stealth up, walk up right behind the lowest level person in the group, and Garrote his ass! I do my usual stuff and he goes down before the rest of them know I'm there. Once they all turn on me, I'm done for, but I still got the one of them. I love being a rogue!

Told ya!

BTW, 1 Gold is going for $19.95 on e-bay right now, how much do you guys have?
I can make this a career! :lol:

I usually have around 1g 50s, but level 16 left me with a lot less. I hit a wall with UC quests (all elite or level 20+) so I moved to the barrens to level. We'll see how much money I can rake up from skinning mobs in the barrens.

I have been having a problem with my WoW. Everytime I start WoW for the first time every day I get an error from teh program and crashes. It states that I need to check my AGP temperature! I checked the internal temp of my rig and its OK. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix? Thanks

I just got signed in and I'm about 100 in queue for bleeding Hallow. I'll be in game in a while and I'll edit this post with my character names.
