OFFICIAL World of Warcraft Thread

I don’t think anyone will complain about Paladins once they have them.

EZMODE 4 LYFE !_!

EDIT: I stand corrected.

“we’ve lost another one”

nice knowing you julio.

somehow i knew you all would read this…

Questions from a non WoW player.

  1. So, can everyone please post pictures of your character with and without gear?
  2. How popular are all races? In particular, how popular are Orcs?
  3. Why does playing horde sucks so much exactly?
  4. Is the expansion suppose to fix this?
  5. Is it worth buying a P.C. to play this or can I just get that Mac Mini I wanted and still play WoW.
  6. Is this game going to be around for a while? Should I even bother?

1.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/invers3/ajac1.gif here’s a pic of me in MC. I’m the ninja dude in the middle.
2.Night Elves, Humans, and Undead are the most commonly played races, with hunters, rogues, warriors being the most common class. It’s usually in that order but hunters and rogues are tied with being the most commonly played class.
3.The barrens is really boring place for leveling but barrens chaat makes up for that. You don’t need to go to the barrens if you’re undead though. The horde are usually outnumbered by the aliance in some servers as high as 2.5:1 (http://www.warcraftrealms.com/realmstats.php) but on average it isn’t THAT high of an imbalance, usually it’s 1.5:1
4.Since you keep hearing how hordies complain about the hearth/bubble thing being cheap when 5 of them gang up on one innocent paladin, the horde will be getting the paladin in the blood elves.

Processor: 800MHz or higher CPU.
RAM: 256Mb or more.
Video: GeForce 2 or better
Hard Drive Space: 3Gb or more available.
DirectX 9.0 or above.

For Mac users:
Operating System: MacOS X 10.3 (Panther) or better.
Processor:1.0GHz or higher G4 or G5.
RAM: 512Mb or higher, DDR RAM recommended.
Video: ATI or NVIDIA video hardware with 64Mb VRAM or more.
Hard Drive Space: 3Gb or more available.

Those are the specs, though I’d get 1gb of ram total for games. Is it worth buying a pc? I wouldn’t do it personally as a PC is expensive, but if I had money to burn…maybe.

6 .This game is going to be around for ahwhile. I don’t think there is going to be anything within 6 months that will oust it as the top MMO. It is the most played mmo in the world with 6million active subscriptions.

Man.

I really hate being Alliance on every one of my characters.

All I do is PvP. I mean during off-time I spend it reading/watching strategies and other misc. shit just to gain knowledge, hahaha. Must be the fighting gamer type competitiveness.

I hate having shitty-useless ass racials. I mean, I know skill amounts to everything and I can deal with what I got, but HORD racials are so fucking nasty.

Damn overdone racial rant.

lol. relax nazzteezeee you know damn well you like killing folks who have better advantages. it just makes it that much more rewarding.

256 MB is technically enough, but you’re gonna be playing a slideshow a lot of the time in crowded areas. 512 is about the bare playable minimum, but preferably go with 1 GB or more.

You won’t need more than 1 GB to play WoW, let alone almost any game right now, smoothly.

Errrrrrr

Horde have a raiding game disadvantage, because totems (the Shaman’s buffing ability) are weaker overall than Blessings (Paladin buffing ability). That’s the general imbalance basically. And the expansion will fix this by giving Horde Paladins and Alliance Shaman. They are otherwise pretty equal in everything but 1v1 PvP, where Shaman are better.

My boy just put his rogue up for auction.

Wow prices have gone down. I had a bit less than that to offer on my rogue and it went for over twice that.

he already has offers of 1k for buyout. He just doesn’t want to close the auction yet.

Gotcha. That’s more like I remember it.

jesus christ

Prices are going to top out around expansion time.

I’ve only heard horror stories from people buying ebay accounts. Owner taking it back and account getting banned type stuff. I was looking into getting an account but it seemed like too big a hassle.

I’ve been tempted…really tempted to do that to be honest. The new owner is an idiot.
I keep getting emails from GM’s telling him to stop sending in stupid GM calls, they don’t have time to waste. And he used the password recovery system to remember his password…forgetting that it was sent to my email address.

But sadly I’m an honest person and didn’t do anything…yet.

As far as prices go, they vary. When PVP system came out, one of the first Grand Marshalls sold his account for more than a couple grands. If you had a warrior to sell the best time was right after warrior revision when warriors became godly.

I sold my account back before AQ and when someone with 8/8 tier 2 was still something you looked up to as quite amazing. Things have changed since.

I will be reactivating my account when 1.12 hits.

Has there been any word on if the Pally and Shammy buffs will stack?

I feel that the best time to actually buy an account is after expansion drops and decently geared level 70’s are on the market. Personally, I think Blizz is going to take a huge break in adding content after the first couple patches into 2007.

Most people I’ve talked to in my researching of account buying are either people who have the cash flow to buy new accounts constantly when the items of their previous account become obsolete, or people who just deal accounts for profit.

Then you have the morons who put their accounts up on ebay pre-emptively and decide its perfectly within their rights to take shit back.

Unless Warhammer absolutely stuns me, I’m just going to be pvp’ing until expansion comes out and pray for some casual content.

Edit: Can any rogues recommend some builds for me that work in pvp and pve? I’ve been seal fate forever. I hear Combat Swords/Dagger for pve though? is that 21/30?
