Is there any servers with lots of people? Every server I go on seems to be pretty dead with the ocasional player sighting. I wanna pick a server for good so I dont have a million creatures. :p

when you choose a server, theres a column for Population. Pick a medium or high one if you want alot of people. Just realize that when events happen, there may be queues/wait times to login and play if you do.

Also, even on medium/high population servers, most everyone is in Outlands. Old content is fairly light on people running around now.

Speaking of having half the screen covered. You sure youve got enuff going on in that screen?

I don't always have the MonkeyBuddy quests all expanded like that. Earlier I had been comparing quests with a friend is the reason they're all expanded in that shot.

The fact you have auto attack as button 1 and only have 5k hp at lvl 70 speaks volumes.

What difference does it make what button is #1 and what's wrong with having 5k hp at 70? I have friends whose warlocks are level 70 and have 7k hp but I can kick their rear ends before mine drops below 2k.

I feel like a newb reading these threads. Only got into WoW two weeks ago, and I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

Only character I have is a Lv 16 Drenei Paladin with pansy 384hp. I fail to see whats wrong with a 70 character with 5k hp. Man I should read more.

A lock never needs to auto attack for one thing. Also, your friends must be bad :(. None of the locks in my guild have less than 7500 hp.

To each their own I suppose.

A lock that never solos doesn't need auto attack. I've had no problems with my warlock the way he's spec'd, and 7500 hp won't do you a bit of good when I can 2 or 3 shot it. As for the rest, the way you comment on how others choose to play and spec their characters speaks volumes, not only of your in game, but your out of game personality as well. You are correct on one point though, and that is to each his own.

http://wowwiki.com/ - good place for info on classes, professions, starting out, etc. etc. useful.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/ - i use this site a lot to help with quests.

http://www.thottbot.com/ - kind of like allakhazam. woot.

the last2 are owned by goldbuyer/selling companys dont use them

www.wowhead.com > all others

at lvl 70 my lock has almost 9k hits unbuffed

That's the new land mass added with the Burning Crusades expansion. You have to be, well, you're supposed to be level 60 to get out there. People figured out that mages could learn Summon Portal: Shattrath (a neutral city in Outlands) and then people below 60 could get there using the summoned portal. Unless you have a lower than 60 character with maxed or near maxed out trade skills and you're looking for training / new patterns etc. to learn, or you just want to look around, there's not much use in going to the Outlands before 60 or at the very least mid 50's as all of the content and quests are too high level for anyone lower than that.

Edit: I will say this though. Once you get to Outlands, gold will no longer be an issue for you. Loot drops and quest rewards are tremendously improved. It's easy to make a few hundred gold in just a couple of hours playing and that's just on the quest rewards without putting anything up in the auction house.

no its not a new server. You know how there is eastern kingdoms and kalimdor? Think of it as another continent, its Outland!

PS: artex, stop talking. No one gives a rat's ass what you think and no need to start flaming someone because they do not play 8 hours a day.

Thank you! I'm tired of these elitists thinking they're so amazing. They're what make playing games like WoW (or any game for that matter) annoying.

*Still Confused* I think Im getting realms, servers and all those mixed up. Are all the realms connected or something?

Sorry for asking all these newbish questions but thats what I am in WoW, a newbie. :p

Uh? That's more or less how games like WoW work. I don't play WoW anymore - I quit during my trial because I had more constructive things to do, like sticking my hand in a food processor. The lore and stuff interests the hell out of me, but I can't stand the game itself or the people playing it. I spent more time reading the official forums and soaking in all the information than playing the game. Anyway, that guy who plays 8 hours a day? He is going to end up better than you, like it or not. Every MMO works this way. Also, I didn't see him flame anyone, or even mention play times. Perhaps you should stop talking instead? Looks to me like he's just trying to give advice.

I really did want to enjoy WoW, I was a huge huge huge fan of all the RTS games. I honestly had a lot of faith in Blizzard that they could make a MMO and not fall back to the same tactics everyone else did (namely, boring level grinds, and gear grinds at 60). I got a priest into the 20s and just couldn't stand it anymore. It was just the same crap painted a different color. Instead of killing 10 kobolds in the human starting place, I was killing 10 wolves or whatever. And, there's what I was saying above. The people who play 5 or more hours a day are always going to kick my ass. I'd spend an hour, maybe 2 tops a day playing, because that was all I could stomach. I don't understand how some people can sit around and devote the time they do to this game.

Well I just started up again after 2 months of being off the game. I quit 2 weeks before the expansion hit out. Ever since the expansion was out I was curious about it, heh , I quit at the wrong time (in my opinion). Anyways, i caved and went back , I am part of a large guild , not quite raiding size but we still do naxx (alliance of 2 guilds go there as 40), and both our guilds are preparing for the 25-man content. Honestly I will tell you this, being 70 with nice blues still don't mean jack if you don't know how to raid. heh (After learning that from an interesting night of BWL). My guild is helping me reach 70 and hopefully join the ranks on joining their 25-mans.

Enjoy the game, thats all that matters..

    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
