For the Horde! For the Alliance!!

[Linus]

Any other WoWers out there??

[Leigh]

Wow, as in Wow Wow .......... or wow wow?

:confused:

[Linus]

World of Warcraft :)

[Leigh]

Ahhhh okay, I've heard of it but never played it.

Is it fun?

[Linus]

Very addictive. :)

[NJFemmie]

For the HORDE!

Mare and I haven't played in a while - but we were completely addicted.
We've discussed subscribing again, but we're afraid we'd never leave the house.

[Plato]

ALLIANCE!!!!
Horde guilds are rather suckish ... lol

[Eddie]

I'm Alliance but haven't played in a long while. Sisters of Elune server.

[Linus]

ALLIANCE!!!!

Horde guilds are rather suckish ... lol

HA! So to Alliance ones, I'm told. But then again, I've never been part of a guild. Go my Tauren Hunter to level 80 with out much help. Pretty sweet on my part. Now working on the "goodies". :)

[NJFemmie]

ALLIANCE!!!!

Horde guilds are rather suckish ... lol

Alliance just sucks. :p
I think all the guilds suck - which is why we never bothered joining one.

[Linus]

So.. anyone playing? I'd be interested in moving my character over to another server or starting a new one if anyone is interested in a guild (although my preference is Horde). :)

[Mitmo01]

Im horde all the way...

i played on the bloodhoof server for about 2 years and ran in end game raiding guilds on both sides...and i have to say that i love the horde so much better..with guilds though you do run into so much bullshit that i was like screw this...it started to feel like a job so ive been on a hiatus

one of my buddies was telling me how awesome this new patch is and that the waiting time for groups is nil now which is nice

i would like to start playing again but i get easily addicted and need to watch out for that

hmmm maybe ill get a game card soon and start up again

sure would be fun to run with some people from here : )

[NJFemmie]

Mare and I decided to start playing again ... we got a 7-day "welcome back" trial - and of course, we're HORDE!

We decided to start all over again, since we know we missed so much the first time we started playing. (We still have our level 60 accounts).

My concern is being addicted again - but, we already know the risks, lol, so we are better prepared. ;)

We also decided to play on the Nazjatar realm again.

But, what is the difference (besides PvP, normal, etc) between realms? Are there better drops on a more populated realm?

[Linus]

This article probably best explains it: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/realmtypes.html

LOL, thanks ... I just came from there.
Gotta love google.

[NJFemmie]

I started a new character - Undead Mage. Traditionally I love playing warrior - I love the hand to hand melee and wide array of weaponry - and I am learning that Mage is quite the opposite. Even though it is quite challenging, I actually like it. I can't wait to level my skills... I am curious to see what kind of damage she'll wield.

What are some of the race/classes you play(ed)? Do you play more than one? Do you find any particular one better than the other?

Before I started my mage, I created a priest, and I SO did not like that one. ppffftt... smite. Whatever.

I still have my level 60, and when we decide to upgrade to BC, you can bet I am going to get a Death Knight. Are there any death knights out there?

[jelli]

My son and his friend are total wowzers!

About the most addicted I am to anything is Banjo(Pomeranian), Cruel, sex/intimacy, FB, my kids, this site, and food. And I think in that order. lol

[EnderD_503]

FOR THE HOOOORRRRRRRDDEEE!!!!

Um yeah, don't play WoW, but have been a long time Warcraft fan (non-World of, obviously). My favourite has always been Warcraft II. I've never started playing WoW because if I did, I think that would be the last anyone would ever hear of me...

[Linus]

So, I'm nearly at level 85 with my Tauren Hunter. And have been working my way through Cataclysm (more methodologically than before). What's added more interest is that I've been reading the Warcraft books (specifically Christie Golden). They are quick (usually done with a few hours) and interesting at providing background to everything.

[Sparx1_1]

I just got my night elf hunter to level 85, I heart my corehound :D

I have other toons I play with from time to time and I might work on my hoard toon next.

[oblivia]

i'm behind Sparx.. my highest level toon is a level 74 Dranai Shaman.... next down is my 41 Night Elf Druid...

We play on Bronzebeard...

[Linus]

Bumping it to see if anyone else is playing. Interestingly enough I got asked to join a guild last night (this is the 2nd time this person asked me). While flattered, I'm always nervous -- largely because I know I suck at Raids (I do a lot of the dungeons solo and recently started doing the Outland Dungeons so I can clear up some of my old achievements). Of course, the challenge is that to improve at Raids I have to do them but finding someone who is understanding and patient is a rare thing. I found someone a while ago but I think he stopped playing.

[BugsAndKisses]

I used to play WoW many many moons ago, and wow is WoW all consuming it takes over your life and turns you into a mmorpg zombie that eats digital brains!

Alliance forever baby

[Bard]

I have to say I don't get it totally but my Desd Plays and my daughter loves to watch her play of course I cheer her on lol

My guild is understanding, so there are those out there! You can real ID add me and we can group up over realms if you'd like

Welp. I've moved my characters over to the Hellscream realm. I was surprised given how full the realm is but Blizzard did it (within an hour no less).

you just made Desd clap and squeal lol :hangloose:

[Linus]

Well, I have to say I'm not regretting it. Although the Auction House on Hellscream and that the Horde are outnumbered 3 to 1, Desd's guild is awesome. I can join any Raid, be somewhat sucky (I'm not horrible but not amazing either!) and still get supportive feeling from members.

And for those that were playing before and stopped, there is a new expansion coming out, Mists of Pandaria. I'm curious about the new race, Pandas. So something to look forward to.

[Ebon]

I'm new to it but my night elf is level 30 already. I'm on Cataclysm. I don't even know how to do most things except turn into a cat and fight.

I will let you know after work, I can't remember. So far I've been fighting for the alliance. I joined a guild this past weekend but I usually don't join them. I got up to 30 by myself but I can't get through the dungeons.

Dungeons can be hard soloing unless you do the older ones. You may want to consider joining our guild if you don't get help in the one you're in. I would be more than glad to help you and give you any pointers or help along the way..

I will do that. My screen name is OrganicOne. I will hop on after work.

[Linus]

I checked. You're on Skywall and joined a newly created Guild (likely created by the leader to just get the achievement, especially since none are over lvl 60).

Survival I think

[Linus]

Survival I think

When you get to the stage for dual talents, you may want to investigate Beast Mastery (aka BM). I've used all three but found BM to be the most enjoyable for both PVP and PVE.

And then PM one of us to get someone to invite you :) You can RealID me, I'll rep my e-mail to you!

[NJFemmie]

Anyone on Area 52? Mare and I just started new goblin toons on this PVE. The auction house is outrageously priced (don't know too many level 5's with 300 or more gold, but hey, who am I to judge?) ....

I added you but we may need to exchange Real IDs for across servers.

[bright_arrow]

Bumping to say I got Ebon into our guild now too :)

I made a warlock to level with Bard's hunter, but hated leveling so I gave up. Now that hy is back to night shifts however, I find my time consumed by leveling her LOL Still 10 levels below hys hunter, but I'll get there.

For the Horde!

Was just asking in Gamers Zone if there were any wowheads out there..I'm in Windrunner (alliance) but also have toons in Misha (horde) and in Garona (horde). If anyone has toons in these realms holla :koolaid:

[Ebon]

My paladin is up to 53 now. Skittles I don't have any toons on any of those servers. I have one on Hellscream and another one some where I can't remember because I haven't logged into it in forever.

You should come over to Hellscream US. :) I've actually been enjoying it, even if it's a PVE server. I PVP most nights (working on all Cata gear for my PVP hunter) and I'm leveling another hunter (61) and a rogue for PVE stuff. I don't know if I'll use the rogue that much (I find it odd to navigate around sometimes) but I'm working on the 2nd Hunter to be PVE and I'm working on better rotations.

[Tawse]

Uhm


For the Republic!!!

find me a MMORPG that doesn't ;) lol


And what is all this i hear about panda's I've never played WoW - but OMG I keep hearing about Pandas... seems to be a love / hate thing lol

I went to see if i could make a DK in Hellscream..No dice lol it is full :(

[bright_arrow]

Really? :|

[Ebon]

That's weird I'm always able to get on. Gonna try it now.

[Skittlesluver]

Let me know if you can create a character on there...I am mostly on Windrunner and Misha...anyone on these realms lemme know :) thanks

[Linus]

You could migrate over but I know the server isn't full (although it claims to be on the listing) so you should be able to create a character on it. The amount of people is really low right now (heck, Blizzard lost 100,000 in the last quarter although that is a slowdown of what happened for the previous quarters)

[Skittlesluver]

Ok I will try to make a DK this weekend...not sure if I want a Tauren Dk, Goblin DK or Belf DK...might be doing pvp only...any suggestions?

[Linus]

I'd go Tauren or Goblin DK but then again, I like those two races. :)

[GeekBear]

if anyone is on the bronzebeard server, RyRy aka dropsofsilverrain and I are over there. we belong to a great guild and we are very active players. we mainly do PVE but I'm interested in learning some PVP. if anyone is interested in wowing with us, just gimme a hollar! geek over and out.

[Linus]

Anyone get a beta invite yet? I just got mine and will be testing it out on Lost Isles (character copy and new created character/panda).

[NJFemmie]

Anyone on Area 52?
Mare and I started new toons on that server. I suggested this PVE server because I was tired of being pwned by a mostly alliance PVP server. (Questing is never any fun on a PVP server). This server outnumbers Alliance - YAY!!! lol

Ironically, my 85 Goblin Warrior is PVP geared - just hit ilvl 393, and am slowly working on getting PVE gear. I have a lowbie pally and druid - but I think I'll be concentrating on my pally next.

Come over to Hellscream US. It's a PVE server and yes, we're outnumbered by alliance but we're doing well. And the guild that desd and I are in do regular Raids. :) (I tend to PVP a lot but the guild is really good and very laid back)

[Linus]

Welp.. I've been hacking away at the MoP beta and to be honest.. I think it's pretty good.. Some of the changes will take time to get used to but overall the lore and changes are pretty decent.

[Linus]

Anyone else getting their WoW on? :cheesy:

[bright_arrow]

Tempting! OH SO TEMPTING! Trying to get homework handled before I get all into that again :jester:

I love me some WoW!

[aishah]

i could never get into wow! but i've been playing achaea (http://achaea.com) like crazy lately (except for a reunion break). maybe i should start a thread for other games besides wow. one day i'll get into wow - as if i need another gaming addiction! lol :)

[Linus]

Bah! Hellscream (US) is 90% Alliance. Everyone does that. That's why I like Horde.. besides... Moooooooooooo! Happy now?

[NJFemmie]

So, has anyone upgraded to the new Pandaria expansion yet?
Do you like it? Is it worth it? Anything truly cool about it?

I just bought the expansions as a Christmas present - (no worries, this one is not the surprise of gifts) - and I've been curious to know how it is. Mare doesn't have the free time to play until after Christmas, and of course, I won't start without Her, sooooo .... curious to know more about it from a player's perspective.

I just moved us last year, and honestly, don't see us moving again any time soon unless Blizzard will let me do that for free. I like Area 52 so far - granted, we haven't played during the summer months, but we are getting ready to sign back up very soon. If anything changes, I'll keep you posted :)

I've been playing it since release and really do like it. Lots of great lore (although the Archeology ending, if you do them all at once, is annoying as you must watch all the "videos"). It's a bit of a daily grind but there are lots of dailies to play with enough variation. What I really like is the scenarios (teams of 3) which is a nice variation to the dungeons and raids.

That sounds interesting - the scenarios. I haven't really gotten into dungeons and raids until we last played - and I am not a big fan of all the bickering and kicking that goes on.

I take it these scenarios are sort of like - mini raids? more like quests?

[NJFemmie]

Scenarios are short, instanced adventures for three players that directly follow the stories and events in the open world. In a scenario you'll be presented with a number of goals you need to achieve in order to progress. So instead of “clear trash, kill boss, rinse, repeat”, you will be given objectives you have to complete to move the scenario's story forward. Yes, that's right – scenarios are heavily story-driven, much more so than dungeons.[2] (http://www.wowwiki.com/Scenario#cite_note-officialScenarioPreviews-1) Introduced with the http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120210064041/wowwiki/images/2/26/Mists-Logo-Small.png (http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft:_Mists_of_Pandaria) Mists of Pandaria expansion, Scenarios are short instances consisting of a series of tasks that can be completed by groups of players smaller than 5 for rewards better than individual quests.[3] (http://www.wowwiki.com/Scenario#cite_note-blizzcon2011mists-2) Unlike 5-man dungeons, many scenarios will take place outside and resemble phasing (http://www.wowwiki.com/Phasing). As with dungeons, they will be tied into a queuing system, but there will be no defined roles, so queues should be short.





Good news since most of the time I don't have two hours to devote to a dungeon or raid.

Agreed. And it can be weird. I've ended up with a team of 3 hunters and one flaked while two of us kicked ass. It was actually a lot of fun.

There's always a flake in the crowd, huh?
I haven't done many, and I know I am not PVE geared to really do some damage, but Lord knows I try dammit! Now I'm anxious to play, but have to wait. Mare will "finish me" if I start without Her.

Since there is a new class, do they allow you to migrate a character over, or do you have to start from level 1 again?

[NJFemmie]

FYI: For anyone who might be interested in Pandaria, warcraft.com (https://us.battle.net/account/creation/wow/signup/) offers a ten day trial if you already have Cataclysm.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

New class and new race. Can migrate to Pandas but have to start a monk from level 1 and climb up (largely because each class have their own unique requirements on stuff like mana, strength, agility, etc.)

[Linus]

Anyone on Area 52? Mare and I just started new goblin toons on this PVE. The auction house is outrageously priced (don't know too many level 5's with 300 or more gold, but hey, who am I to judge?) ....

Let me know when you come back on this server. I just started a Tauren Monk on here for when Hellscream is down. :)

[NJFemmie]

Woohoo! We should be up and playing shortly after Christmas. I promised Mare I wouldn't start without Her. Her work schedule is too crazy for Her to have the time right now. I'm looking forward to seeing you there!!

[Stitch]

I play Alliance mainly, I would love to have a Horde somewhere, I have a lvl 21 BElf rogue, but I don't love it?

Where is everyone playing?

[NerdieGirl]

FOR THE HORDE!

I play on Skullcrusher (us) and have played wOw for about 4-5 years, on and off. My main is a Tauren druid, and i just love her! I've tried to roll other toons, but it just doesn't ever work out for me. I am thinking about trying a monk now that I have pretty good gear on my main. Any of you have a monk? How do you like it?

[Stitch]

Anyone still playing?

[bright_arrow]

I stopped a little while ago when my main guild kind of died off. I switched to another guild (I have two, almost three 90s on Hellscream Horde side) but I would re-roll if a mass amount of us agreed to go same server, same side.

[jerbear]

I play on sisters of elune most of the time though i have a few toons spread across the relams.... i play mostly on horde

[Linus]

I just finished getting a warlock to level 90 yesterday. That's my 5th toon to get to top level. I may resort to the "Pokemon pet" achievements.

And I agree with you Desd. If we were all on the same server I'd be game at joining or creating a guild. With Warlords coming up soon (November?), I'd say now is the time to create/join something like this.

[GeekBear]

RyRy and I mostly play alliance but we're definitely looking for a guild of like-minded people. If we can get enough of us together, we're down for a change of pace. With the new expansion coming out, I'd just like to get a bunch of us together and have some fun. I'm down for whatever, and we have a vent set up already so let's tear some stuff up guys and girls :)

[Linus]

Sweet! I just got my invite for the Warlords beta! :)

[bright_arrow]

Kiddo and I made a guild on Hellscream, Horde called Awesome Sauce. Only level 4 guild because we're the only two in it :blush:

[bright_arrow]

Bumping because the boy and I play.

We are Horde on Llane I believe it is. I am mostly running around on my shad priest Lunarbeing :moonstars:
