official World of Warcraft

[I am Redbeard]

So are we doing this?

Need a server that everyone is cool with.

And a name.

I vote <Neowin>, plain, simple. whatever.

I can start things up if someone wants.

@evn.

Thanks for the info! I'm still starting to get addicted to the game, despite rarely seeing anyone. I have made a friend though so I'm not totally alone.

My character name is Trogdorramsy, night elf warrior, on the Terokkar realm if anybody wants to help me out!

I'd love to "re-roll" with the neowin guild. (I'll be honest I have no idea what you mean by re-roll :p ) I'll try and keep up with the experienced players!

re-roll - to roll a new character again

(if you still don't get it think waaaaaaaaaaay back to the good old pen and paper days)

[HolyLiaison]

Lets go with the Quel'Dorei CST server.

I just made a character! Well two actually.

Deathliaison (DK)

Powershift (Druid)

Both Horde side.

Probably level the Druid first.

I dunno. Really don't care what server we play on, but I hardly no school this week, so I can make a DK get 10 guild really quick and be able to invite whoever or someone else so we can snag the <Neowin> tag and level with it.

Evn, got any server suggestions you got this ball rolling, like to here what you got to say.

I didn't learn about where the phrase came from until I'd been playing for years.

When you make a new character it's called "rolling" a character. My understanding is that when people played role playing games on pen and paper, they'd make a chracter by rolling dice to determine starting statistics like strength and stamina -- hence then name for making a new character in warcraft.

Most people joining the neowin guild will have already leveled one or more character to 80 so starting over is "re-rolling".

I'd say pick a server and we'll meet up to sign the charter later this week.

Unrelated - when did they make it so you could level weapons skill on practice dummies?

[Toolage]

I am interested as well. Just let me know what class we need and I will level one up. I am open to everything but would prefer a lock or mage.

Im down for whatever. I have two accts. Will log on to Quel'Dorei right now.

Still would love to have someone do the RAF with.

Everyone interested: Go to Quel'Dorei on, make an alt. Class/race is irrelevant for now, make it a horde toon.

I say we figure this all out later in the week, I can supply a vent.

[Toolage]

toolace on Quel'Dorei

[HolyLiaison]

I made a chat channel on Quel'Dorei until we get a guild going.

Just type "/join Neowin" in chat. :p

So Quel'Dorei it is then ehh. Can't even escape nelfs when I go horde! (Quel'Dorie refers to high elves which night elves come from - lore ftw).

I'll get a guild up and running, though if anyone wants to volunteer or provide suggestions for officer system that'd be hawt.

[HolyLiaison]

Basically level 9 on my Druid on Quel'Dorei already. Going to use my DK to get some gold and get me some damn bags! :crazy:

I'll do that tomorrow though, I'm beat!

As far as officer system goes, I'd like to see someone with (current WotLK) guild/raid leading experience lead the guild if we're going to be somewhat serious about doing actual raids.

[I am Redbeard]

Hold the leadership talk for now.

Evn will post a nicely organized thread specific for this.

This won't be rushed.

We'll see who turns up, and cipher through it as it comes.

[the evn show]

As far as officer system goes, I'd like to see someone with (current WotLK) guild/raid leading experience lead the guild if we're going to be somewhat serious about doing actual raids.

I'd set membership to "If you're an active forum member and want to join: you're in. If a majority of people in the guild think you're a prick then you're out."

When/if we manage to get enough to raid online then we can have somebody step up and do it. I'm not much of a babysitter but if you need somebody to make a forum post that says "Hey, we should raid on Saturday Morning, say 11:00 AM server time" or "Thaddius: Ian, Slane, Touchy, and Smeltn, and Holy on the left, rest on the right. Positives go on the left side." then I can cover that.

To be honest, that's likely a month away so I'm not too worried about it. Right now the goal should be getting our first 5-man group together and clearing RFC and VC (yes, alliance territory!) How does saturday sound? You'll need to be about level 17 by then.

Sounds good for now. 17 in a week isn't asking much, I might even have to limit myself.. a lot.

:shifty:

[Slane]

Ya about leveling I either do it really fast and get bored or really slow and stay bored. But with an Neowin guild should keep me going to 80 and then keep me going to get geared all over again.

[Slane]

Just finished light hope battle. Heading to Org once this long ass speech is over. Almost had Rayne dead, got her to 3k HP then Darion went all bitch on me and surrender.

<Neowin> is going to need some signatures!

Animated is the DK I made to get the gold quick and easy, not sure what I'll level though. Warrior, which I know all about and love to tank (mmm dps warr maybe lol) or a hunter/lock because shooting/dotting **** from afar sounds pretty easy and relaxing.

Hows **** censored but not bitch? (S%H%I%T)?

[I am Redbeard]

I say we all stick to what we know best.

Whatever we have all played the most.

Personally, I've leveled 3 hunters, 2 to 70, 1 to 80.

Some alts along the way, but nothing I'd trust my self with in a serious situation.

[Spookie]

I'm on the realm Terokkar, with a Night Elf.

Seems very quiet! I don't see another player very often, is it just because of the time of the day, or because I'm early on in the game and most people are at different locations on the map?

I think it's because it's ROCK BOTTOM when it comes to progress (http://www.wowprogress.com/realms/rank/eu) 255 out of 255!

Most players have likely migrated off to another realm. So if you want to save your self some money in the long run. Re-roll on a server in the top 50.

[Spookie]

**** waving time again! Surprised we pulled it off, since half the raid were alts!

:p

The immortal this week hopefully, will be a horde first for my server and get me my black proto drake too.

[Shaun N.]

lol GZ, I still havn't managed this. I have a magnetic pull to 1 hit KO's

[Sethos]

So which classes have people started on Quel'Dorei?

Edited March 30, 2009 by Sethos

[HolyLiaison]

As far as I know there's my Druid, then a Paladin, Rogue, and Hunter so far.

[Toolage]

I rolled a mage.

[Sethos]

Well, I started my trial account and I have no idea what to start. I haven't played in like 4 months and the last time I raided is back in vanilla World of Warcraft - So I really don't know what to go for, a Tauren Warrior is drawing me though but I just hate low-level tanking, in case I do become designated tank. :rofl:

Then again, I'd love to give a Hunter a shot as well ... Arg, decisions!
