[WoW Neowin Guild!] Type your ideas!

[gigapixels Veteran]

So any idea when we will have a meeting of sorts to get a bit more organize. I know i'm the only officer atm and hold the GM spot, but I'd rather give that to someone else.

Trying to get RAF set-up next weekend or so and level a few characters to 60, then just gotta worry bout 60-80 grind. Trying to figure out the best way to do it, should I dual box 'em or just have second guy on /follow not doing anything.

I know we were planning on doing some of the low-level instances this weekend, so I'm hoping a lot of people will be on around the same time. Hopefully we can talk through that stuff then.

I've been an officer in a few guilds and wouldn't mind being one here. As far as GM is concerned, that should probably go to the person with the most experience. That's definitely not me :p

[I am Redbeard]

Personally, I vote Evn as Gm.

I'd like to be an officer as I have a good amount of experience with both the game, and being an officer.

Hopefully we will be able to do some instances this weekend.

So far I think Sunday morning works for who I've asked.

sorry been slammed at work the past few day's with new server installs..

Vent info: RAGE

IP: colt.pure-voice.net

port : 3284

I have a channel set up called Neowin

Well, as some may have noticed I decided to tap out. I was in contact with IanPete about possible Recruit-A-Friend leveling but the timezone difference wouldn't allow it. I really want to have some fun, do some instances and just mess around but I can't for the love of god push myself through the boring 1-60 leveling part, RAF would have been a nice shove in the right direction but without it, it just isn't happening. :/

[R-Flex]

I lied pt. II

Dual boxing a pair of Shaman.

Very fun.

I was leveling my hunter with R-Flex (Kimmi) but due to different schedules I'll feel bad leveling it with out him/her.

R-Flex if you have AIM I'll be on all day (Steez x Mosh is my sn) if you want to let me know when you wanna continue questing. Or just PM me on here.

Don't worry about waiting for me. I likely won't be on much at all with the weekend coming up, and if I do, likely at odd hours.

Sorry to hear it, but I definitely understand. 1-60 is tough to do, especially once you've experienced Outland and Northrend. If you ever change your mind though, we'll (hopefully) still be here and would love to have you join us.

I'm willing to work around your schedule.

Or if in a month you still want to, I'll be out of school and free all the time.

[Sethos]

A month is perhaps a bit too far into the future, it's primarily the next two weeks I'm planning to put a lot of time into the game because I'm on a forced holiday. My time zone is GMT +1 ( Copenhagen, Berlin, Paris etc. ) and I'm ready from 09:00 in the morning to like 01:00 - 02:00 at night, so feel free to find a time zone converter for your location and tell me how much time we'd have to play a day according to your schedule.

One thing though that worries me. I actually created two EU accounts to play with a friend, I set my address and all that in Denmark but set my country to United Kingdom, which allows me to do RAF ( Danish law doesn't allow the RAF system ) - Upgraded them both with WoW and one of them with TBC, to get a BE Paladin.

Around 24 Hours went by where they were all still seen as half-trial / half-full accounts, though I was levelling fine. Next day though I was disconnected and both my accounts had been suspended. The email stated my payment was rejected.

So the question is, is it because I set it to a different country, because I paid for 2 different accounts and 3 upgrades in a matter of minutes or what went wrong here? So in case I do have to create a US account, would I have to use bogus address info, find another payment source or what?

I believe the upgrade system is an automated process, doubt it would start checking my address to the country listed etc. ?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if that were the case. Credit card processing firms jump on that sort of thing - they also tend to notice unusual purchases (like buying a video game for a country you don't live in?).

I'd follow up with your bank/credit card company to make sure it wasn't them rejecting it. If it failed you can call their customer support line. They don't have any restrictions about playing cross-border but maybe the RAF restrictions are being enforced based on your mailing address?

I'm 90% sure I bought a WoTLK CD-Key from off gamers and they'll keys for any region to any place. I'm not certain it was them because I didn't keep the e-mail they sent me with the picture of the key, but the site looks familiar. NOTE: they don't send the install media or manuals to you, so if that's important look elsewhere. I tossed out all my boxes, manuals, and install media because once you've created an account all that stuff is worthless. You can download the entire game from their site faster than you can install it from CD/DVD with less babysitting.

I did keep the original wow manual though…or "the book of lies" as it's more popularly known.

How's this for some nostalgia:

While the shaman, druid, and paladin can also heal, none of them can heal as well as the priest. Also, the priest has better resurrection spells than the paladin or shaman.

Inner Fire: Greatly increases the priest's attack power and armor for

a short duration.

Discipline should have been the 'monk' tree IMO.

Reading it online: the manual remains a source of WTF? even today.

I can tell you without a doubt, my card has not been rejected due to suspicious / unusual purchases, I have talked to my bank and a rather long chain of people about this a long time ago. Around here they don't just reject purchases on suspicion, they really aren't allowed to. Especially not when you have plenty of mullahs on the account and the purchase amount doesn't even exceed $100. So I know this is from Blizzard's side somewhere.

As I mentioned earlier, RAF is not allowed under Danish law, so I could see why Blizzard would cancel my account if they found out it was created by a Dane with false information. Again that's the essence of why I'm puzzled, did they IP-check, Adress Lookup, check where I was from through my CC ... or perhaps it was rejected from Blizzards side because I made all 3 purchases within a few minutes? Would be nice to know in case I'd have to create a US account.

is the server still Quel'Dorei that everybody is rolling on, installing WoW atm, and will be imporing my mod's/setup and transferign my DK Tank and 70 Warlock, just need to know the final decision on the server

[premedios]

Is there a EU guild?

[gigapixels Veteran]

Hey guys, I haven't been as active on this character as I planned on... Been really active on my main and my best friend just hit 80 as well, so I'm running a bunch of heroics to gear him up. So I'm either going to power-level my pally later to catch up, or just go with the DK. I can make him a tank, if we need one, since I was planning on tanking with the pally.

[Slane]

Ya haven't been to active much either. Still getting some extra cash together to do RAF and power level some toons to 60. All the cash I had to do it went to waste on a spur-of-the-moment drive to Orlando to hit up "Mardi Gras" and see MC Hammer play, hit up Universal/Island of Adventure park, and see some Cheech & Chong at hard rock tonight.

Best spur-of-the-moment trip ever.

And then few days before we started this I re-rolled to join a friend (horde on ternas) and he's not doing anything there but chilling. Told him about this and he might just xsfer over there since I told him few of us are serious in getting to 80 and raiding and what not. But he'd be another DK and I'd transfer my DK from there also, since that already has nearly mining + jc to 300.

Hoping to get on tommorow night and level something or play the AH and make some gold and bull**** in chat.

[I am Redbeard]

Gah. Dk's.

I'm surprise the trend hasn't burned out yet.

I popped on a few times this weekend and didn't see anybody around - I'm already too high for the low-level dungeons that we thought about doing this weekend and didn't want to get too far ahead.

I'll still finish leveling the two I started (at least to 60) but I'm really not very optimistic about this working out.

Few people are leveling new characters and nearly everybody wants to do a DK but isn't really doing those either. My DK is higher than any in the Neowin guild and I leveled it just to make some money to buy bags and gear.

Worst case I'll just play on shadow moon. I've got a few friends in the high-end raid guilds that have alts they'd be willing to run on once a week.

My trip to Boston ended up lasting longer than I expected.

I am going to level my shaman, and if it doesn't work out here I'll transfer both my shaman and hunter whever to raid.
