How long have you played WoW? + more

Playing since late 2005, on and off. But mostly on, as follows:

• Started leveling a warrior, but couldn't find a raiding guild. Leveled a priest and was snapped up by a MC/BWL guild in 2006
• Leveled priest to 70 when TBC hit. Got bored of the rep grind and quit to concentrate on college
• Finished college mid 2008. Leveled a horde mage to 70 and pissed about til WotLK hit
• Raided Naxx with my mage -> warrior -> priest (in that order) in crappy guilds before moving to my current guild with my priest, mid-Ulduar
• Raided all content through the rest of WotLK and Cata. Stopped playing after clearing DS due to RL issues
• Returned a month before MoP hit. Been playing since

Priest is still my baby, but I piss about on my warrior, druid and mage when I feel bored. Have a 50s rogue and 80s DK that I cba leveling

I have had a few failed starts with wow, first started in 2005 with my guild from neocron but didnt really get into it. I lost that account, cant even remember where it was could even have been a US account.

Second account the one i'm currently playing on was created in TBC (2007ish) and i main'd a rouge. I got to the level cap but got bored as i didn't like the rogue and quit again. I eventually restarted this account at the end of WOTLK before cata as a mage.

Didn't like the mage and ended up moving some of my brothers cars to my own account, stole his shaman and hunter. Really got into the shaman and its the one class i really connected with and still consider it my main today, i wander away from it now and again but always come back.

Raided through BWD, FL and DS on shaman/druid, depending on the need and got sick of raiding and turned to pvp (Wpvp in particular), did WPVP across Outland, Sylvanas and bit on Ragnaros.

Currently back on the shaman again dual rolling as enhancement/resto and plan to do a bit of pve/p (flex and bg's ect). I plan having a main on both alliance and horde for the lore, orc shammy horde and ret pally alliance. I am a big lore buff so quite looking forward to exploring the shaman lore but may have to play my horde ret pally if they do something with the bloodknights.

Favorite expansion/patch is probably Cata/Dragon soul because this was probably when i started to understand class mechanics in any decent way, did allot of WPVP and city raiding had allot of fun . Still plenty more time left in this game for a new favorite

• Playing since friends and family alpha, so that's a pretty long time.
• Started with an Undead Mage but moved to an Undead priest which I raided through vanilla and TBC. Shadow priests were always high in demand and it basically got my way into 40 man raiding end game content which I cleared.
• Was Horde up until a few months into WOTLK where I changed server and through RAF levelled everything max level to play with a group of Irish lads.
• Those lads have all become friends now, and we formed a raiding guild in WOTLK that cleared heroic content relatively competitively, also through cataclysm aswell.
• Guild died off and I lost my spot meaning that since Firelands I've kinda lost interest in wow, unable to find a suitable raiding guild I've been less then interested.
• Took my first break this expansion, wasn't overly impressed, didn't like dailies and it wasn't alt friendly, so dropped Wow and took up league of legends more seriously.
• Since the expansion announcement guys have come back to the guild, more activity and I leveled another 90 in a few days (nerf to MOP xp required was nice)
• Hopefully can get some flex raiding going before patch and maybe get the guild back in full swing!
• Currently playing a Boomkin which I raided with in WOTLK and Cata, but this expansion went mainly with my Warlock. Want to have a Priest again like the good old days, but might use it as my free 90 with the expansion.

Played since TBC

First was a warlock, almost capped it then decided rogue looked better

Got a few bosses in sunwell before wotlk. Think prity much cleared most when was current since then some normal, some heroic.

Small break at end of bwd/bot, but back mid firelands, seen rogue legendary

Just had baby October there so stepped back to social raiding for the moment.

Have 11 90's on a dead server, one of each class and all horde.

At most had about 5 raiding regularly between 3 guilds and alt runs, but can only seem to have 1 raiding atm

Yea I have the same problem
I got 8 level 80 hordes from wotlk on a dead server. haven't played any of them sense back then and can't afford to move them for 20 euro each O.o

It takes little to no time to level these days. And if you have some looms you can send them x-realm now. I have toons spread out all over the place too. All on dead server. Rolled last night onto a high pop and sent over some looms.

Cash is the only issue now but there is a little trick that may work seeing as you cannot send gold. Pets.
If you have a number of the same rare pet you can add them to your journal. Then on the new character, put them into cages and try your luck on the AH. That's my goal right now

- Started to play in 2005 with some friends
- My first chara was priest... until the arrival of the palas. HP is my main.
- Horde and healer all the way...
- I started off on executus and after that i played in many servers until i landed in ls, al'akir and draenor
- Loved Kara and Naxx
- Used to have fun collecting the keys for everything until they removed that option... spoilsports!
- Loved WOTLK
- Stopped playing for almost 2 years now and dunno if i will return...

Went there because LS was kind of dead while AA was always full of players online (no matter what time it was) x)

Painted yourself into a bit of a corner there if you only play with one guild.

Yah its never the same after your first guild, especially if its your first MMO. Wow wasn't my first so i have got used to changing guilds after they had run their course.

With the changing nature of gamers these days you really have to adapt and be more like a nomad to an extent. People are just so much older with real life responsibilities that the days of playing mmo for hours on end is kinda gone.

Yah i find that to get a really good community going you need, good voice comms, people that are playing at the same wave length but also want to do things together, and people willing to do the support roles so others can play dps.

Throw an element of leadership into this combination and you got yourself a nice little community to play in.

Dunno bout flexible schedule. Couldnt see anything lasting if kept changing days/times and was a number of people had planned the initial days for that and had other plans for changed days. Ie we just hadda baby and gf doesn't play wow but I'd get 3 nights to play while she'd go watch soaps with her mum/sister other nights. Others may have training/matches or work certain nights, then could also be random shifts :P but yeah, cant really see a guild having 10/25 flexible ppl willing to changed all the time to suit 1-2 people. Basically a nightmare to schedule.

Think set schedule with planned but minimal changes works best, gets people who suit said times etc.

You just need to see when ppl can raid and at what time, then create balanced grps based on the info u collected.

I, for example, could only raid after 22h/23h and only during the weekend.

Sometimes i could raid in other days but i would only be up for it if they needed someone to be replaced.

Started in mid 2006, main has always been a paladin - also have a warlock, death knight and hunter at max level. Much prefer dps classes to tanking or healing. Not playing at the moment, MoP has kinda run its course for me but will probably return for WoD. Once you get stuck into WoW, you never truly leave it, thats my belief
