I want to play World of Warcraft


Recommended Posts

The thing is, I am becoming desperate for a REALLY good RPG. Until recently I've been very into strategy games such as Medeival II and FPSs like FEAR. But I don't there are going to be any excellent RPGs for single player.

What is the Wrath of the Lich King? Is that yet to be released?

I'd recommend just buying the Battlechest and using the free month that comes w/ the game. That way you're only down $40 if you don't like it and you have the addon if you do. I'm at about the 1 month mark and want to make it 70 at least.

That's a good idea.

Best RPG? Zelda!! :D

-Rich-

Zelda for the PC?

Ah...I remember the good old days playing Zelda: The Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo64.

Is Wrath of the Lich King an upcoming expansion pack? What happens when you choose your character, but then a expansion pack comes out with a new race/class you want to be?

Wrath of the Lich King is not released yet and it wont have new classes or races. Burning Crusade did have 2 new races which many players started playing them.

So, nothing happens. u can keep playing the older race or start a new one. Note that the classes (where the variety in gameplay comes in) among the races remain the same..

Actually Wrath of the Lich King will have a new class called the "Dark Knight" or something similar but that class will start at high level and requires u to have a high level character in the first place.

The game is about $15 a month, newest expansion pack is Burning Crusade. Even with the pack, you can't access the content until you are level 60.

RDX1 summed it up pretty well.

The BC Xpac contains content for level 58+ characters (as well as the Draenei and Blood Elf starting zone).

The real game starts at 70.

abulfares is right for the most part. WotLK is still in the works and no release date has been set.

WotLK will not introduce new races, but it will introduce the Death Knight class.

As for your question, What happens when you choose your character, but then a expansion pack comes out with a new race/class you want to be?, if you wish to start a new character you can. Nothing happens to your 'original' character, and your new character starts at level 1 (with the special exception of the Death Knight).

i am also interested in playing WoW.

i previously played guild wars when it first came out. specially for the reason of no "subscription fee" and also because of the PVP.

i wanted to ask before deciding to buy and play wow, about the PVP.

i hate PvE and i hate the idea of spending relentless hours doing stupid quests.

whats happens with WoW and pvp. how does the game play out with pvp and wow.

because in guildwars when you play PVP u go straight into fighting other parties or guild vs guild or random party fights.

if someone could elaborate more please of the PVP side of wow, when you first begin etc.

ps: otherwise i might just wait for warhammer online

1: wow rocks (been playing since it came outwith only a 4 month break ending about 4 months ago)

2: get the battle chest, as stated, it has the expansion and a free month.

3: The expansion DOES have content for starters, aka the draeni and blood elf races, and their respective starting zones.

4: Wrath of the Lich King has no release date yet, though it is expected by christmas of this year. Still a long time away

5: It's not that expensive a subscription fee, considering a lot of people make it in an hour or less, it's pretty darn good for a month of playing

6: If you want the game for pvp, join a pvp server, fi you like roleplaying, join a roleplaying server, if you like pve, then join a pve server. You can of course still do battlegrounds which are pvp events in the pve game

7: Blizzard screws up, quite a bit actually, but a lot of it is over-hyped, a lot of people just like to complain about anything they can.

8: there's new content all the time, and it's been a thrill seeing all the changes come to pass over the years

    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware by Sayan Sen When Windows 11 was first released, one of the most complained-about issues with the new desktop Microsoft OS was its higher system requirements, which pushed many relatively modern and powerful processors and devices onto the officially unsupported list. Thankfully, they have not been updated again for the base OS, though systems require four times the memory and storage if they want to run AI-powered apps and features. As such, Windows 11 technically runs on 4GB of memory, and there is no imposed restriction on the generation of memory it supports. Speaking of memory, prices are extremely high nowadays for hardware, especially DDR5 and DDR4 kits due to the current silicon shortage, and there are also reports of it affecting DDR2 as well, and it might only be a matter of time before even DDR1 gets affected. Before that could happen, an enthusiast took an ancient DDR1-based system and decided to try out Windows 11 on it to see how well the modern OS would fare on such hardware. The system runs an outdated graphics card interface standard based on AGP, or Advanced Graphics Port, called AGP 3.0 or AGP8x. AGP was essentially succeeded by the modern PCI Express (PCIe) bus standard. The user behind the experiment is retro hardware enthusiast Omores, who built the system around an ASRock ConRoe865PE motherboard based on Intel's i865PE chipset from way back in 2003, around the time when AGP was still in fashion. What made this board special back in the day was its unusual support for newer Core 2 Duo and even Core 2 Quad processors while still retaining older DDR1 memory support and an AGP8X graphics slot, making it an ideal bridge or link between two vastly different generations. Powering the machine was Intel's Core 2 Quad Q6600 alongside 3GB of DDR1 RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4650 AGP graphics card, one of the final and most capable GPUs released for the aging AGP interface. While installing Windows 11 itself was relatively easy by bypassing Microsoft's hardware checks, getting the graphics card fully functional proved to be some challenge. Microsoft had quietly dropped native AGP support after the earliest releases of Windows 10, meaning newer versions of Windows no longer include the necessary Graphics Address Remapping Table (GART) drivers required for proper AGP acceleration. Without them, AGP graphics cards typically boot up, though with limited functionality, and can often throw a Code 43 error in Device Manager. To work around the limitation, Omores extracted Intel's legacy AGP440 SYS driver from an early Windows 10 release and paired it with a modified INF file so Windows 11 would correctly recognize the chipset. Following this and combined with AMD's final 64-bit Catalyst AGP drivers from 2012, the Radeon HD 4650 was able to operate with full AGP 8X acceleration intact. The result was said to be surprisingly usable for hardware that is over two decades old. Hardware-accelerated H.264 video playback worked correctly and benefited apps like Firefox, while legacy applications and games ran without major graphical issues. The system also successfully completed the 3DMark 2001 benchmark, although performance naturally lagged behind what the same hardware achieves under Windows 7, which is significantly lighter than Windows 11. There was, however, one unavoidable limitation as Microsoft's Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a mandatory SSE4.2 CPU instruction requirement that cannot be bypassed through installer modifications or registry tweaks. Since no AGP-era processor supports SSE4.2, Windows 11 version 23H2 effectively becomes the final release capable of running on such systems. Regardless, it is still a very cool feat and quite fascinating to see just how stable Windows 11 turned out to be on such unfamiliar hardware. Source: Omores (Patreon) via O_MORES (Reddit)
    • That will only really help other players that are also responsible for creating the problem.
    • Well, it's good to know that they have found a workaround to a problem that they helped create, I guess...
