official World of Warcraft

[Noveed]

yeah stupid amounts of lag tonigh, HH Daily's were a pain to do, raiding was virtually impossible, somehow half of the guild still managed to do it lol.

[neudera]

WoW just went down for their usual 6 hour "let's see how long these addicts can go without withdrawls"-a-thon.

Hooray!

[Drugar]

lol..thankfully I work during the maintenance schedule

Same lol

Quick question, can I mess with these different UI's while the servers are down?

[Minifig]

Well.. you can install one, but you can't see what it does or looks like VIP until the servers come back up. :)

[vip]

blah, that sucks ... wish there was another way haha

[Minifig]

Yeah, I just wasn't having fun with it. Complicated can be fun, but it was just over-complicated in my opinion.

Really?! I can't wait until Cataclysm starts, my Raiding toon will go in the attic during the mornings, and I'll be playing my druid every day until I get him up to 80. My raiding toon will only come out to do an occasional daily if guildies need help with stuff or I need more money for repairs on raids that go badly. He'll be my auction house toon. My worgen druid will become my main of choice.

So I just discovered Arathai Basin 2 ours ago ... WTF! Why didn't anyone tell me about this before? This is great ... Been in 8 and won 8 .. 24 marks, working my way towards a Frost Wolf Howler mount =)

I'm obsessed with the new BG. I love it.

I need to do AV *thinks* I think 23? More times.. maybe 26? Win or lose, then I need to do one other BG 30 times and I can get my black mecho-chicken.

I'm starting to wonder if all the pets I collected on Minifig I should have waited to collect on my worgen.. oh well.

[vip]

Nice pets, I have a Deviate Hatchling and an Obsidian Hatchling, a Roach, and the three snakes from Orgimmar, Mr. Chilly AND a Proto-Drake Whelp

Hey now, I never said I didn't like my druid, I just said feral DPS wasn't too fun. I love healing and boomkin DPS with it, just not feral.

Race-change Minifig to a Worgen. Problem solved. Gnomes blow anyways. =P

[Minifig]

HA! no.. The name wouldn't work the same. :p :)

[Colin.B]

HA! no.. The name wouldn't work the same. :p :)

Race change and then get the name change! :p

So my wife and I and a friend are transferring off our RP server to a different one, not with our mains but our alts. She has a 62 mage(A) and I have a 62 rogue (A). Anyone able to recommend a good server that's either pvp-rp or pvp where there isn't tons if immaturity, a decent non elitist raiding community and not too much corpse camping by level 80s as you're trying to level? (I understand you'll get some, it is a pvp server afterall. I just don't want excessive amounts of bored 80s ganking you while you're trying to level heh.) We were going to go to Maelstrom as my wife has a Horde character there but we don't know what Alliance side is like and with the servers being down is hard to tell.

[dead.cell]

I'm on Emerald Dream, an RP-PvP server. I love it mostly because of the alliance community. :heart:

I find there to be quite a number of idiots on PvP servers, and quite a number of cyber-sexing douche bags to be on RP servers. I also can't stand normal servers as they're too cheesy, being that the factions are supposed to be against one another...

That said, while idiots will be found no matter where you go, I certainly feel there are less where I'm at. Alliance vs. Horde also seems to be fairly balanced, so there isn't much need to worry about leveling. In PvP, you WILL die (it's inevitable really), but you will certainly also get your share of kills no doubt. :)

RP is relatively non-existent though, if that has your interest at all. There are still small groups/guilds that are RP oriented I wouldn't doubt, but to put it simply, I don't have to fear Goldshire. Haven't played Horde side there though, so I can't assure you that Silvermoon is safe as well.

The population on a whole is pretty big. You can expect maybe a small queue on Sunday nights maybe, but it's nothing too extreme really.

Hope that helps.

I'm on Draka, PVE, Alliance, I could talk to my guild and see if we could use a 62 mage and a 62 Rogue..

Want me to?

I'd link you to our guild, but the armory is down. :(

Wish Cataclysm would come out real fast so I could GY camp those poor Worgens :>

The starting zone for the Worgens is going to be phased, so you won't be able to camp them. :p

[Tharp Daddy]

Shaman hit 24 yesterday, i'm averaging about 2 levels a day. I need to buy WoTLK at some point, but until then my shaman is my priority. Is it better to use a 2 hander as a shaman (i'm enhance) or 1 hander + shield? I'm currently using Killmaim (the blue axe) with rockbiter.

[gigapixels Veteran]

I was using a 2-hander until I hit 40 and got dual wield. I don't know if it's better or not, but it certainly seems better. And I suggest you go with flametongue as well, especially if you're using a slower weapon. Once you get windfury at 30, use that instead.

Why oh why!

Luckily they still have to level up normally :> :>

[dead.cell]

Gonna be a lot of little dead green ****s! :devil:

[Minifig]

The Goblin zone is phased too.

The Worgen zone, I think, is phased until 10, or 20..

The Goblin zone is phased til 10, is the word.

Hurpafriggin' durp, I know. Doesn't mean there won't be a surge of them leveling up outside the phased area. :)

[+SOOPRcow MVC]

Both of there starting zones are phased for at least the first 5 levels (for story) and even then you still cant camp any starting zone (for any race) even on normal pvp servers unless all the lowbies are stupid enough to flag themselves.

Also, when you're camping you're wasting valuable leveling time on your main! :)

[Minifig]

Hurpafriggin' durp, I know. Doesn't mean there won't be a surge of them leveling up outside the phased area. :)

Don't forget, anything below nine levels of your own won't give you PVP Honor or experience now. So all your time killing them will be wasted effort and just a general annoyance.. If enough people report you, a Blizzard GM has full rights to port you to the other side of the world..
