world of warcraft

[AlexB]

Got my US key this morning, thankfully my hacked beta client works on live now, so no waiting for the CDs... I'm not addicted I got up an hour early this morning at random!

[PaulBM]

Our copies arrived yesterday from Amazon. Play.com were naughty and posted their copies out on Saturday so my friends copy arrived on Monday.

[Jake]

Cant believe it....some guy has already hit level 70. Took him 28 hours. Crazy

[Geoff]

Rescued mine from the local royal mail depot at 7:30 this morning. wont be able to install/play until tonight though.

[PaulBM]

Yup, I can believe it, probably a Bot, using WoW Glider. Or some sad puppy who just has to be the first. 8)

 

I've reported so many bots, thankfully they've all stopped appearing so it looks like Blizz do ban 'em. They'll very easy to spot and great fun if you can train 'em and they die.

[Jake]

Wasnt a bot, was a french guy who played nonstop for the 28 hours, whilst a raid group from a guild called Millenium helped him. He tagged the mobs, the raid group then killed them in a couple seconds.

[PaulBM]

Hmmm, what a totally pointless exercise.

[ZeroHour]

I got mine early from play, am I evil?

I now have my char on Earthern Ring (the most unstable server of the lot lol) incase anyone want to buzz me

[GrumbleDook]

just picked mine up from Game ... installing now and might spend a few hours playing later.

[phreak]

I too got mine from Game. Got a level 67 priest, lvl 62 warrior and level 25 shammy. All Alliance and all on Earthern ring.

Only problem is that it takes such a long time to get anything done in the game... that and I just recently brought a Nintendo Wii, so it will have to fall by the wayside for now. he he

[Jake]

Oddly, I think my time in world of warcraft is coming to an end. I couldnt play whilst my daughter had chickenpox, and now that she is better I find that I just dont have the urge to log into wow anymore. I log in, stand around for a couple of minutes and log off and play something else.

 

Had a good run with the game though, got a 63 warlock, 63 priest, 62 druid, 54 shaman, 54 mage, 54 hunter, and some other lowbies.

 

Got my eyes set on some more pvp orientated games now, namely Pirates of the Burning Sea and Warhammer Online. Really missing the good old days of decent mmo pvp like in Daoc

[phreak]

I am getting a similar feeling unfortunatly. Thought I love the game and probably always will the amount of time I can actually log on these days are not much. And to get anything of worth done at higher levels takes at least 20 minutes upwards. Added to that guildmates asking for help or people wanting to go instance running (which I would love to do if I had the time, though then never seem on the rare time I log on and have more than an hour gametime) I dunno if I will ever get to the 70 mark. I think I am going to keep my subscription on for another month or 2 and then if there is no change then I might leave.

[Guest richard]

I have to admit that I have never played WoW as I have never been into gaming that much until recently. The other thing is that I do not like the idea of paying for a monthly subscription just to play online. I have in the past played Neverwinter Nights online and really enjoyed it.

[GrumbleDook]

I have just come back to it after a break of a month or two (work and Real Life enforced) and the first thing that hits me is the number of lvl 40+ asking for help ... and the people I used to help who are 68+ now (I helped get some of them from 30 - 60) who are not interested in helping my claw my way up in the post TBC world (Ony just reacherd lvl 61 and still go so many outstanding instances to do it is scary ... never entered DireMaul, Uldaman, Strat ... )

 

The nice community feel seems to have gone, but I might migrate to another server soon ... see if I can find a nice quest orientated guild rather than PVP.

[ZeroHour]

Join me on Earthen Ring, TONS of people are nice here. The alliance chars sometimes help you in a agg spot too

Lots of PVP too and amazing items. I am 62 and god TBC is so much better then Azeroth. I love BF and it drops tons of items. The flying mounts look fun too.

BTW I am horde on ER.

[ChrisH]

All gaming communities go down hill eventually it seems it's a shame but it's usually a prompt to go and find something new. I personally am looking forward to the long long long awaited sequel to the game that introduced me to proper online team games in 99/2000 .

It's time for something fresh for me as my current favorite as has been for the last 4 years has pretty much gone to the dogs because cheap servers so you get alsorts of monkeys running them (does nobody have a sense of humour anymore?) and conduct that was considered unthinkable is now the norm (spawn camping legal in some leagues now!!!!) /rant off

 

/on topic

 

I wouldnt play WoW these type of games are to addictive

[phreak]

Well I am getting ever closer to that level 70 mark. I just hit level 69 on my Priest last night. Though I doubt I will have enough gold even by level 70 to buy my flying mount.

[Bromcom_John]

Joined the site in an official capacity but hell, why not get involved in the social side too..

 

Been playing WoW since EU Retail launch and have a main on Earthen Ring - Lvl 70 Dwarf Warrior.

 

Although I find myself playing LOTRO more at the moment (That lifetime subs offer was too good to pass on.. no monthly fee!!!)

What server?

[Bromcom_John]

EN - Laurelin, where I strangely play a Dwarf Guardian (same character name - Feldsparr).

Currently lvl 34 and am struggling through all the group quests in the North Downs.. there are LOADS of them.

[browolf]

made 70 (rogue). got epic horse and normal flying mount: cool but slow, amazingly handy for some quests. up to level 70 quests in shadowmoon valley. man they're hard. been to mechanaar, botanica, steamvault briefly, shadow lab, durnholde but not succeeded yet :-| pugs! . there's so much to do at 70 :-)

[AlexB]

Priest 70 (shadow cause of kz)

 

We finally downed netherspite last night so kz is finally cleared for us

[phreak]

I canceled my subcription the other day. My other half bet me that I could not go a month without Wow and being the stubborn bastard I am I took the bet. Been just over a week now and I haven't yet got withdrawl symptoms. Though I'm home alone one night this week and thats when I am sure the craving for some Wow time will kick in.

[Geoff]

BTW, the next expansion has been announced. It will be called Wrath of the Lich King(FAQ).

[Jake]

My WoW days just ended a few moments ago...just got an email from Warhammer Online giving me 10 beta accounts WOOOOT I say....WOOOOT
