I really liked the wraith gate quest line but I'm not sure it's best in game.

For me "balance of light and shadow was particularly memorable". I'd also say the death knight started chain is up there - especially for people that knew about naxx bosses when they started. Gothicks "old habbits die hard" crack is gold.

While not really a quest itself, you did have to complete an annoying chain to summon ragneross and that is still one of the best points in the game.

The "LOL lore" that happens during/after kil'jaeden is awesome once you can actually pay attention to it during the encounter.

Any relation to Sylvanas (EU) Method ?

I don't think so. I'm not even an officer in our guild, just posting here to try and help out a bit. But I'd say 90% of the guild are transfers from other servers so I can't really say if any are related to Method on the EU servers.

Hakkar US? That was my first server when I x-fered off it 10 months ago because it was a crappy server. :p If you played on Hakkar from Jan-June last year you would remember Reign. :)

Ah, well they opened up free transfers to it because it was dead, and I took a chance and moved to Hakkar. I'll admit it was really dead when I first got here cause I transferred there the first day free transfers were open, but it's a different story now. I'm glad I moved here. :)

I just started playing again a few days ago, man it's such an addiction. I'm leveling a Death Knight now and it's hella fun. I expect lots of "noob" whispers because I'm making it my new main but after 70+ levels with my druid, I just want something different. I always liked the idea of Dark or Shadow Knight from EverQuest, and hey I play the game the way I want to have fun and screw anyone who says otherwise! :D

Exactly. All that matters is that you're having fun. It sucks that DKs are getting a bad rap from all the people playing them when they have no clue what to do, but when you play the class well you get remembered for it. Just keep doing what you're doing, you'll be fine (Y)

Bolded part goes for any class. DK's getting the brunt of it, because it's an OP class that's the new flavor for people. Many do not know how to play it, so essentially becoming the new huntard. Everyone wants/does play it but few actually play it.

So I have a :

60 Mage

60 DK

70 Hunter

I'm not sure which of those I should level first. I'm leaning towards the DK but I always been awed by mages. The hunter I think would be the most boring to level. I'm also thinking of leveling a priest from scratch.

I've got my priest and death knight to 80 now. Priest was sort of a blur because I was racing the clock. It went fast enough, I could solo group quests until I got to ice crown and downtime wasn't a problem.

Death knight leveled like a machine: no real down time, not too much trouble with PVP, I've been running dungeons as I become the appropriate level - but I've got 3 real life friends (neighbors) that I can call on when I need a group so I haven't run into the whole "yet another DK that can't play" accusations yet.

Mages are great fun when you can AOE grind: no other class has nearly the same capacity for it. On the whole I don't like the downtime (mana) compared to other classes which is why mine is stuck at 70 or 71.

I've talked to a few people here in the past about it -- but what would be the interest in a 10-man neowin guild? Running content once or twice a week with the "hard core" mind set so as not to waste time. I'm not terribly interested in being hardcore with my priest's guild when uldar comes out, but I absolutely hate that casual guilds typically mean spending 4+ hours in naxx when it should take 2.5.

I can't guarantee but you tell me the server and I'll roll a toon. I got my one alliance toon that is 80 and none of my alts there I'll bother to level. Got real life friends on one server wanting me to go horde there (shandris) and another friend wanting me to go horde (tenears) for him.

But an neowin guild ****s and giggles sounds great like fun, though I dunno if we will be able to have neowin exclusive members to function unless we set up are raid nights to not interfere with anyone elses or some wicked scheduling.

Either way I'd be in and more than happy to roll a toon.

Just for future reference:

I have an 80 Hunter on Winterhoof - US.

Not in the best of gear, but some epics.

I'm willing to re-roll a new toon on a another server, or transfer.

However, I also would need to reactivate my subscription.

I only want to do this if we take it seriously.

I like the idea as well... The only thing is I'd need to make a DK because I just can't level another from 1-80... I just get too burnt out and I know I wouldn't be able to do it. But if I can start with a DK, I don't think I'll have a problem getting to 80. Besides, it's my best class anyway.

Is this game fun to play alone? I'm considering delving into it, but I'd have nobody to play with. Worth it for lone gamers?

Join a guild and you won't be alone anymore. :)

What faction would people want to play for the guild?

Can I purchase WoW online and digitally download it? I don't want to have to go out and buy the box (lol lazy), and I don't want to have to order it and wait for it to arrive.

UK question by the way.

Edit: Can I get the trial and then just pay for pre-paid cards once it runs out or is the trial not the full game?

Yes.

The trial is the full game, it's only limited to what you can do with the game in 10 days.

So, no extra downloading if you purchase more time after your trial.

Unless of course you buy the expansions..but, yeah.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
