We both have MoP and are very active players. Let's get a guild together guys!

Mare and I are going to start up again after Christmas (She's too busy to start playing now). I'll keep an eye on this thread and see if something gets started. I'd love to join in

Okay...so... I'm level 40, so I'm getting the hang of this game... but I can't help but think I'm missing a LOT. For instance.. I was level 38 before I figured out I could be getting around on a damn horse rather than walking everywhere. And now I've got a faster horse, so I guess I'm up to speed (har har) on that aspect of the game.

I'm completely solo... well, I did accept an invite to join a guild, gnome pride or some such, but I can't see the perks. Oh, and it's not like I know how to talk on the different channels anyway. I see trade, general, guild channels... then non-player stuff shows up there too (We're under attack! We're under attack!), so I end up tuning it all out.

I did find myself in a dungeon the first (and last) time I ventured into the Badlands. They were easily killed solo, but after about 30 of them with no end in sight, I got a little bored and annoyed, and bailed. What do you get at the end of a dungeon, anyway?

I confess that /dance never fails to amuse me. Must learn more commands like that. Or maybe how to talk to others.

Dungeons get you elite gear (blue or purple in the name colour). And generally you go in with a group. Guilds can add a lot and make things more interesting. That's where finding a server with a few of us on might be good.

Okay, it's offish. I'll be making my way back after christmas. I bought my partner a trial to see if she likes it. Either way, I am down. I"m on Area52, alliance. A52 is REALLY horde-heavy though. I'd like to change servers but I hear that's expensive. Is it worth rolling a new toon? I remember putting in hours to get it to where it's at now...

Is there a relatively balanced server that we are all on? (or that most of us are on?)

Funny, I started a new character (wait, they're called toons?) on Area52 last night, an Orc Warrior. Within 30 seconds of starting, I was asked to join a guild... and twice more (by a different guild each time) within 10 minutes later. What the hey? Is the server that friendly, or just overpopulated?

Also, can someone explain guild levels to me? One guild was 3, another was 14. Do I hold out for the highest number to invite me? ...lol

A lot of guilds now have an auto invite add on if they want to recruit people and add members. The higher the number, like the one guild was 14, means the guild has more perks for members. 25 is the highest and you get the most perks. There are different things you can buy from the guild once your reputation is friendly, honored, revered, and finally exalted. it's become really easy to get guild rep now with the new expansion. I might just have to hop on area 52 today and start a hordie lol what was your toon's name?

ScandalAndy · 12-21-2012, 09:00 AM

I'll probably start a new toon if we can decide on a server. I'd much rather be in a good guild starting over than paying a crazy amount to move my toon off A52.

On A52, I'm Uglybass. I'm happy to jump over to bronzebeard if that's where we're all headed... sorry to hear about unpleasant A52 memories, Andy!

I got pummeled with guild invites again today- joined one just to be taken out of the running. I made sure it was level 25, though...heh.

Thanks for answering all my questions, y'all. I know I could look a lot of this stuff up, but when I do that, somehow I never find the direct shortcut answer.

And yep, NJFemmie... I've had a WoW dream.

I found this site after doing some research on alliance/horde ratios http://wow.realmpop.com/us.html RyRy and I are on bronzebeard and I know that's a little alli heavy but a good realm. I'm willing to start fresh on a new realm if we all decide on a place. To transfer my lvl 90 to a new server and change factions to horde would cost $55..ouch. If there are enough of us, we could start our own guild. I'm down for whatever, just excited to have some good folks to roll with.
