Damn you work, damn you

I'm sitting in work and don't finish for another 3 hours. I bought world of warcraft today and it's sitting in my bad. It's calling to me... doh!

Ivan

Wow... hate to say it, but if thats how you are now... you're fooked

Leprachaun

hehe,addicted before starting :P
anyway,if you happen to go to the Earthen Ring Server add 'Sulthan' as a friend on alliance

plenderj

Cheers From reading a bit on the starter guides etc., it looks like an RPG/PvP realm is the one to go for?

rainbow kirby

Just depends what you really want... Tbh an RP-PvP realm sounds like my idea of hell! Though I'm trying to make myself like PvP, I've rolled a character on Bladefist where I've got a lv60 friend

Drakar

I would definately advise going on a PvP realm, in my experience any adverse affects have been quite rare (eg getting ganked by a player way higher than me is quite unusual).

A few players I've met who play on RP servers say that very little (if any) RP goes on, and mentioned that a number of players who play there didn't even know what RP was, so don't hold out too much hope but no harm trying!

plenderj

I'm not sure what Realm I'm on...
But I know I'm a Level 5 Dark Elf Hunter /shrug/

sunzz

love those dark elf hunters:o

Leprachaun

think you mean night elf mate

98% of people on bladefist migrated to outland, your wasting your time..

Got another alt on Jaedenar, which is the newest PvP server. I only rolled on Bladefist because my friend was there. My poor little lv7 tauren shaman, she is so lonely...

sunzz

ouch female taurens, certainly a rare breed, L2P.

Evac101

Another rare breed is the incredibly ugly Dwarf Female <anything>. The guild I'm in on Emeriss seems to be having a crusade regarding this atm with half the guild seeming to have fem dwarf priests/warriors/hunters as alts....

Ive a 60 undead rogue on balnazzar,33 warrior and 22 hunter on bladefist,both pvp realms.
Recently i started a warrior on a normal server Kilrogg to experience the difference and i must say its great.
I can pvp if i want and not worry about being ganked.
Then there seems to be many many raids going down so theres no shortage of pvp action when needed.

Levelling up is so much faster on normals from what i see,not being attacked mid quest helps
In about 5 hours playing my warrior on Kilrogg is up to lvl 21.
Best experience so far on Kilrogg was myself and a paladin were out questing in Redridge when we came upon 7 or 8 ?? hordeys,they followed us around for what seemed like an eternity tempting us to enable pvp and generally agroing the mobs with their mounts and leaving us to kill them ,lol was quite funny the feckers.

Once quests were completed off we went to the village to hand in quests, next thing there were 14 or 15 alliance on the bridge and all hell broke loose ,before we knew it there must have been well over a hundred guys involved in the scrap,was great fun.

I recommend you try both a pvp and normal server.

What's your character's name on Kilrogg? I may just have to add you My main - a lv31 paladin, is there.

Yeah Bladefist is a total ghost town now. I got someone to migrate for me cos my modern internet was down at the time, hilariously my main was moved but my 42 alt mage and my bank alt with 500g worth of stuff on him was left behind. I loled not.

rainbow kirby

It really seems like it in the lowbie area that I'm in at the moment... on Kilrogg I was back in Elwynn Forest skilling up my mining the other day and there were 1-10s everywhere, but in Mulgore on Bladefist last night there were only about 5 lowbies in the whole area, 2 of which were my real-life friends.
*so tempted to just roll Alliance on some other PvP server, given that I'm not a particularly big Horde fan anyway*

plenderj

I'm on Ravenbolt or something like that... don't have the game to hand.
I'm level 6 or 7 now at this stage and not finding it all that easy to level up anymore... Being able to kill animals with the bow before they physically reach you is pretty cool though

anonymous_joe

Hunter finding it hard to level! :eek:

Hehe... Took me aaaaages to get anywhere on my first char, don't worry.

melekalikimaka

i'm on jaedenar, my wee gnome warlock female is just at lvl 20, great server pvp, the bg's are nicely queued, never too long, plus i know no one on it...slurms abandoned me in dun moragh sniffle

plenderj

Anyone on Ravenholdt?

anonymous_joe

That's RP I think... Strange and evil places.

Zapp Brannigan

Gnomes are teh suck, thats why I left. I've gone back to Bladefist with my NE hunter at lvl 24. Can't believe I forgot how much fun this guy was to play.

plenderj

I wasn't progressing very much until I met this swedish girl and she shared 3 of her quests with me. I now have lots of money, a better bow, a better dagger, I've learned some hunter skills and I'm also learning first aid

anonymous_joe

Hurrah. Also take skinning and mining or herbalism. Most of the crafting proffs are a lot of effort and expense. Gathering proffs help make pleasant amounts of gold.

plenderj

I thought one could only have 2 main talents? And I'm making so much money from First Aid. Just keep killing those Groll monster things who always have loads of cloth, turn it into bandages and hey presto; instant money

anonymous_joe

I made the same mistake... First Aid is a secondary proff... Like cooking and fishing. You can learn all 3 secondary proffs as well as 2 main proffs.

Oh and I hope you're using the AH to sell stuff.

plenderj

Emmmmmm AH?

Drakar

Auction house. Other silly players bid humongously silly amounts of money so that they can level their professions without having to grind level 10 mobs. Woot.

The actual cloth itself would probably go for alot more, compared to bandages...

plenderj wrote:

Hehe my bad. Took me a long time to trust that place...

Basically, all that cloth is what ya need to level up tailoring and first aid. So people who power level will get to 60 asap, and then start power levelling professions. So they buy all the trade goods etc etc. This tends to screw realm economies a bit.

Basic example - on a new server where there arent many lvl 60s and no-one has much gold, trade goods are cheap. As people level, supply falls. On most servers, mid range goods will often sell for as much as or even higher amounts than high level items.

EG - Linen cloth -> Silk Cloth - > Mageweave -> Runecloth

Eventually, there'll be so many 60s grabbing Runecloth that it will sell for maybe 1 or 2 gold a stack, while silk cloth and even linen cloth will sell for perhaps 50 silver.

plenderj

Supply and demand 'eh I'll have to try and find me an auction house.
At the moment I'm just having a blast

I think I can safely say I got /no/ productive work done whatsoever this weekend. I did however level up to an lvl18 night elf hunter and I have a lvl18 nightstalker as a pet.

I did have 1 gold, 20 silver and some copper until I was drunk last night and spent it all on hunter training for things I'd probably never use. Ah well, I'm sure I'll make it back in no time

rainbow kirby

Be prepared to lose more weekends to the game... I chose WSG and AB 30-39 (alliance getting pwned, as usual ) over watching the world cup final last night
Ah well... increased PvP rank > football!

plenderj

You're not the only one. I captured 2 flags for the alliance

rainbow kirby

I don't do flag-capturing, though in my very first battlegrounds I did actually capture I hit stuff. A lot. And annoy people with my bubble. Quite a few times yesterday I got more HK's than any other alliance in each match...
Though it's an indictment of the state of Alliance PvP on Kilrogg when a 34 paladin is getting more HK's than pretty much anyone else... *sigh*

anonymous_joe

Actually loladins do rather well. When I went into BG's as a level 21, I was being 2 shotted by paladins, pretty embarrassing when you've done the whole lvl 60 pvp silliness.

By now I'm 27 and getting used to being low leveled slowly. And a paladin in mail is pathetically easy to kill compared to a plate monkey.

plenderj

No doubt all of the strange and bizarre things you're talking about will mean something to me soon Actually I ended up in Ironforge somehow too.

Myself and this girl were questing together and we entered the battlefields from Darnassus. We did lots of quests together, and then ended after one of them in Ironforge. That was an eye-opener I tell you that much

anonymous_joe

You exit the Battlegrounds where you enter, so if someone signs you up from IF, you end up there. Can be annoying when you're grinding in WPL and you have a nice little BG before winding up in Darnassus...

Handy for a free teleport though.

Oh and yes, one day you will understand us... Poor bastard.

Ripcat

A couple of paladins in my guild are equipped for melee damage and tbh I wouldnt like to come up against them in PVP. On raids some fo them can equal the damage of an above average equipped rogue. Of course the healadins you can never kill either as they can easily outheal your damage. So the choice is to fighting the dpsadin or the healadin! Thnafully Im alliance so I dont have to worry about it haha.

ps. Nerf shamans

anonymous_joe

Already had a few bubble. Always hilarious when they bubble, only for everyone around them to die, and bubble to fade with 3 or 4 Hordies around them. Priceless.

plenderj

mutter mutter I've to sit in work now for another 3 hours, before an hour's walk home to rathgar... but then... oh yes...
