The grinding part I was told by my guildmates.. most of whom are 60. They said they grinded and grinded till 60, and got their REALLY fast. What do you suggest? I'm a mage, I can't solo higher end mobs...

I'd agree with Mav. A combination of grinding and quests will get you up the fastest. Especially the quests where you have to kill 20 some guys or collect quite a few drops. Why grind without questing when you can do both at the same time.

I finaly bought the game and played for the first month but had to stop because of the monthly cost. I should have known, being on a fixed income, I would not be able to afford the monthly fee.

Anyway, to the point, are there or will there be any free servers not unlike UO?

I play UO on several free servers now and I enjoy it much more than I ever did on the OSI servers.

Thanks,

No, but Guild Wars should be out soon. Looks promising.

Ha, are you kidding? Blizzard? Free? :p

OMG! I'm so hooked on this game! I think towards the end last night I was telling myself: this is the last 10 hours in a day I'm putting into WoW, this is the last 10 hours in a day I put into WoW.......

If you play till level 10, your social life is over!

but seriously though. i've got a level 12 undead warlock on a normal server and a level 8 night elf druid on a pvp server. Playing 1 for two days then the other to see if i can take advantage of the "rest" experience at all. Also, to not get locked into just 1 character.

really cool game.

well thats a good question, i have alot of characters, and i've got a lvl 14 shammy... when i do quests i get about 1k of exp or a little more... now if i grind my same level i usually get 110xp  so kill 14 of them i'll have the same exp as a quest... i dono i guess grinding while doing quests might be the best?

1) You really dont get 110 Xp from killing level 14 mobs, you realyl dont get that until mod 20s, so you are probably reading that from when you are rested

2) Or howabout you kill 10 of them that you needed for a quest and collect an extra 1k xp.

This game is sooo fun, I have a level 30 Dwarf Hunter, 14 Gnome Mage, 11 Tauren Druid, and a 10 Undead Warlock.

Would like to hear some of you guys play times. 3.5 days on my hunter.

18 days and change on my 58 soon to be 59 Paladin.

got my roommate into the game last night. We were playing Turren Warrior/Shamen and both made it to level 8 in about 4 hours. You can really haul ass through the quests when you have a party member. We are going to gang up on our other roommate and lay in the peer presure all thick to get into this game. it is just like drugs......

ok.. so I got the game last tuesday, so for a week I have:

Undead Warlock - 13

Turren Warrior - 8

Night Elf Druid - 8

and I've started each race to level 2 or 3 just to see what i think. I'm going to have a hard time committing to one of those 3 though. Probably going to take awhile till I have a high level anything. But its all fun!

you've played for only 18 days and your pally is already lvl 59........

That's 18 days of ACTUAL play time... ie, 24 hours times 18 days. That's how much playtime is invested into his character. WoW allows you to keep track of the actual playtime you've invested, mine is something like 12 days on my 45 Mage, and now I'm at 4 hours on my level 8 Druid :D

oooh ok, i see.

Hi, this has probably been asked before but does anyone know the release date for WOW in the UK? I've seen several dates mentioned but i'm not sure which one (if any) is correct.

585366774[/snapback]

prolly 11th of february, all release dates were changed couple of days ago so i guess the retailers have more info then us poor customers :p

Just hit 60 last night killing the Demon boss in the Blasted Lands!  Got a 16 slot bag, a nice trinket, and a cool neclace out of it.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
