They're not really enforcing the rules, but in my experience no one's really breaking them either. It's a very loosely-defined sort of roleplaying, but mostly I like because it's got a small population of people who you know are there to have fun. So yay.

I haven't found a guild, but I haven't really been looking. My playing will be so sparse during December that I won't keep pace with anyone, so I haven't bothered making any friends yet. I'm trying to come up with a good character for my Undead Warrior, though.

You mean a good character background? Hm. If we're going to brainstorm for those on the forums, we should probably make a new thread for it. That sort of thing expands quickly.

It's good to hear that the RPers haven't gotten out of hand yet, or rather that there isn't a significan't non-RPer presence on those servers yet.

I don't mind haveing an alliance on CC for the fun of it, but I've allready got too much invested on Hyjal.  A good guild, lvl 28 character ect.  And I doubt I'll play much on any other character until I get to a point of bordem with this character.  I realy don't feel like doing another horde character right now, though that may change later on.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Odd, they just removed timezones from the game.  Some times I wonder what Blizz is thinking.

So now what, every realm uses Pacific time? I guess that won't make a real difference in how I play, but it is kind of weird.

They haven't realy said, but I'm assumeing they still have the same times.  I guess Blizz is going to completly redo their sever select features in a later update, but that realy dosen't expain why they couldn't leave the tabs in until they made those changes.

I imagine they're changing it because they have so much time-zone crossover and decided it didn't matter anymore. It's still nice to have them split into time-zones, though so that you have s lightly better chance of finding people who play at the same hours you do.

Time zones don't affect anything in terms of people playing at the same time as you.  People are playing when they're able, not becasue it's 8 pm.  Also they never mattered since night and day don't affect anything game play wise (though Blizz once said there would be day only quests and night only quests).

Yes, people play when they're able. But I imagine that for a lot of people "when they're able" is more or less the same time of day (after dinner, or after school gets out, or after the kids go to bed, or whatever). So presumably, if a Mountain server is primarily populated with people in the Mountain time zone, then they are going to tend to all be online at similar times. I just don't know if those time will be similar enough, or different enough from other servers, to matter.

Fellfrosch is on Cenarion Circle it seems and Spriggan is on Hyjal with his old guild. I'm not certain about who else might be playing or where, but those are the two that were posted recently. Fellfrosch seems to have chosen Cenarion Circle exclusively while Spriggan appears to be considering coming to Cenarion Circle when he bores of his rogue, but not until then. We have guild connections on Hyjal, while on Cenarion Circle (to my knowledge) we do not.

My plan is to play with one character on Silver Hand with my old guild, but mostly on the server where everyone here is on. Guessing where that would be when I actually get the game is a little tricky.

Simple, huh?

I'll probably be starting sometime next week around when my brother finishes his finals cause he'll probably be leaving for his in-laws soon after that & we won't be able to give WoW to each other for Christmas very well if he's out of state. My guess.

I have no problem playing on CC when I know others are on it.  I'm not going to swich all my time and effort to CC becasue
1) I know how in frequetly Fell will be playing
2) I don't want to out level him or others (which I can do quite easly)
3) I don't want to give up my old guild for a new server where the most of the time no one from TWG will be on.


So if we can get a set time a week where TWG people get togethor on CC that would be great.  Besides that, if you want to play with me you need to join Hyjal on the Horde side.  I know Gemm is on (I need to message him but keep forgetting) that server.  If others join me on Hyjal I'll make a low level character to play with you on, since I can just support that character with Grokk.

Well, I'm on Hyjal. And me and some friends are as well. We're Alliance characters though. I know we'll be perusing through some Horde cities though, so if you're on that side, look for us.  ;)

There are no more Central Time Servers Jeffe, they're all pacific now.  That's what me and Fell were talking about this morning.
