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.

    • Thanks for liking it! 😊 That's Arch Linux with Gnome.
    • LOL. Can't even quote and edit a comment correctly. Figures you're a Linux user.
    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
