World of Warcraft

[Fellfrosch]

You've officially talked me out of a PvP server. I wasn't especially interested to begin with, but it did sound fun; maybe someday if they get the borders tightened up a bit it could actaully work.

[Spriggan]

Mwahahahahahaha


Though now I have to convince you not to by WoW so I won't be tempted to buy it.

[Fellfrosch]

I actually buy things solely so that you and Tage and others will jump on teh badwagon and buy them too. I enjoy being the merciless trendsetter who holds others unwillingly to my spurious whims.

[Spriggan]

Ya, and as soon as I "jump in" everyone stops playing.  

[Entsuropi]

Spriggan - the PVP servers have the rule where you can't attack a person in their own territory unless they attack you first. You can't really grief apparently. And town guards are a lot worse so you can hold towns and stuff.

[Spriggan]

I said that Entropy, the starting zones (lvl 1-15) are the ones that aren't a free for all.  But that dosen't stop a lvl 60 from following you around and killing you repetadly once you leave those areas.

[Prometheus]

Yeah I looked up which areas were and were not Contested areas earlier, and almost every zone in the game is Contested, and thus free for PvP. I'm still planning on waiting to get the game at least until December sometime or maybe early January, but finding a Mountain time RP server to create Horde/Alliance characters on sounds great to me.

Beta's over if anyone here was still trying to play. I'm actually kind of glad, as I needed a break anyway.

So...we'll be making characters for an RP server, what race/class would you pick for our party?

[Fellfrosch]

I really dug the Dwarven hunter, because it had such a nice sense of economy--I'd hunt stuff, shoot it, skin it, eat the meat, make equipment from the pelt, and sell the rest. It was a self-sustaining cycle. And let me tell you that I make a mean blood sausage out of bear meat.

I'm kind of leaning back toward the undead now for a real character. Possibly a warlock, just because of the evilness involved, though I'm not really in the mood for another pet class.

[Prometheus]

For the Alliance, I'm leaning toward Druid, or possibly a Human Paladin. It takes like *no* effort to get between Stormwind and Ironforge, so that won't present a problem.

For Horde I'm having more problems deciding...I could probably be talked into most anything. Shaman or Rogue maybe.

Of course, if our party needed a Warrior, I'm good at that, so it'd work out.

[Entsuropi]

Undead warlocks are massively overdone - about half of all undead are warlocks :\

[Spriggan]

and the other half are mages

[Fellfrosch]

I always played a warrior, just because he looked cool.

[Spriggan]

There are only 2 horde classes that can be both mages and warlocks so undead get most of those classes becsaue the other mage is Trolls (in the beta they were about 4% of the total horde population) and people just think undead warlocks are cooler then orc ones.

Of course alliance is the same with mages and warlocks (though they use to have 3 races that could be a mage, in about augest Blizz removed Dwarfs from that list).

As for servers Blizz posted today there won't be an announcement as to what server names will be nor which ones will be live at release.  They said that there will be new ones comming on-line for the next week after relase.

[Prometheus]

Since I'm not jumping back on the bandwagon immediately anyway, that's perfectly alright with me. Oh, and Fell is right...mail/plate wearers do look cool. I've seen some pretty neat looking models in cloth or leather as well, but mail/plate wearers get the best stuff overall.

[Spriggan]

Ok, so I'm not one able to easly resist peer pressure.  I'm going to be picking up WoW at release.  I am planning on playing with my guild in a PvE horde situation, but they're not going to be a RP guild.  So I was wondering if you'd consider doing the alliance as an RP characters and then makeing your horde characters on the server where my main will be?  I have no problem playing on several different servers (since, I don't beleave you can make both horde and alliance character on the same server), though it would be easier to only have to worry about 2.
