'cause let's face it. It's inevitable!
I'm planning on getting as many of my WoW-bound (Worlds of Warcraft) friends to get together and form a guild. Alliance, or Horde? Yes.
The guild name, of course, will be BigFire. If this isn't allowable, then we may use something more subtle, such as the Order of Okibi (which, just so you know, means 'big fire').
Ten people are required to form a guild, and I can reliably depend on myself and two others that I know through meat-space interactions. This isn't many, but I'm trying to limit it to friends to avoid traditional guild drama of having, shall we say, bad elements ruin the fun for everyone.
Now. How many SR-types are interested in joining, or already have more backing for a guild that would accept me and two others?
It's probably a bit premature to suggest a serious charter, but I imagine it would be easy for us to get a website (snicker), a forum (chortle), and an IRC channel (guffaw!).
The general rules of the guild would be the common-sense laws we enjoy in all of our typical community forrays (SR, Refuge, #sr, #void, etc).
Be you man or orc enough to join?
Whatchu want?
Who you wanna kill?
I do it.
Strike with great vengeance!
Oh, and I can probably find one other person, I thinks, a meatling who's I know.
Is World of Warcraft one of those MMORPGS where you actually need to constantly pay for the privelege?
If not, maybe!
Is WoW open beta now? o_O Or even released? Last time I was interested in it, it was still closed beta testing.
Sorry about the delay in replying -- WoW is in closed beta. It's going to be released on the 16th of November, IIRC, so we expect the open beta to start at any time between next Monday and, um, November 15th.
Damnit.
I was in the stress test, but I need a fix!
Update -- the closed beta for WoW ends today.
Speculation is that the open beta will begin on Monday. Further bulletins as events warrant.
The stress test is open now for people who have bought file planet subscriptions....
...since the game is scheduled to be released on the 22nd, I wouldn't race to get one, though. Most likely (from what I can figure) the beta will open on next Friday or Monday to everyone.
Probably on Monday next week, to allow FilePlanet's paying customers to enjoy a full week of head-start over everyone else.
Hopefully I'll be able to get a power supply for my computer before then. -_-
I have a spare open beta account, if anyone wants it.
So anyway. Um. I will probably be playing predominantly alliance. That is open to negotiation, and all, but I like the alliance better. :)
So anyway.
Can anyone who intends to get the game chime in here?
And, what kind of realm would we be playing on?
A normal realm?
An RP-tagged realm, where it's more about the game and large amounts of public ooc chatter are (heavily) discouraged?
A PVP realm, where it's Horde vs Alliance, and on for young and old?
Oooh... I might take that account if I get my new comp soon. >_>
I am currently playing the WoW Open Beta. I'm alliance, night elf, on test server 1. >_>
Of course, you guys know that the Alliance and the Horde are not meant to play TOGETHER, right?
I'll most likely be buying the game later on. :xp:
They're not *supposed* to, but it's not like some crack team of blizzard cops are going to be running around chasing people down who do.
I can see that conversation now.
Cop: "OMGWTFUDOING"
Guy: "WTFBBQ?"
Cop: "OMFG U NOOB"
>_>
WAAAAAAAAAGGGGEEEEE!
(I say the RP one; we're more likely to get guild members we'd actaully want to talk to, there. Of course, RP and MMORPG don't really go, but hey.)
I'm pretty sure I'll be buying WoW, so I'm interested...
I'd like RPing, if we've got an option.
Overwhelming support so far to the Alliance.
Okay, of the known signees, we've got:
Myself,
Rez,
C-Rat (?)
Wallace,
Mark,
Cy (?),
IY (?),
Xal (?)
We're going to need everyone on that list to sign up and still somehow get 2 more people to create a guild. We also all have to log in at the same time. Anyone know anyone else, or should we start looking for a guild that's already established that meets our needs?
Oh. If anyone's after me on there . . .
My names are sorta easily findable, I didn't even try. :p
'Relm' on test server 34 (Human Mage)
'Rezantis' on test server 10 (Human Paladin)
Obviously, we australians play on Pacific servers. ;p
Also, there doens't need to be a crack team of blizard cops. You actually can't invite people from the other factions into a group, or even talk to 'em unless you learn a common language. I ran into level 30-ish orc last night!
In Goldshire.
:)
And there is an option, some servers are tagged for certain things. ;p
EDIT NOTE: Oh, and I think I can supply at least one or two people in addition to that list. Four candidates, anyway.
Excelent. Shall we start cludging together a forum charter?
I MAY be able to bring in up to four more people ... but I don't consider any of the four of them to be certain at this point.
Edit: Math is FUN!
I'm in, because Rez most graciously offered to pay for me.
(Oh, and the game is funky.)
I won't be playing much of the beta until next Tuesday, but thereafter I shall use my BUCKETS OF FREE TIME to out-play you all! Nyahahahahaha!
You'll be free at the same time I am. O_O
We must be on the same server. :D
Wheee!
I'm likely to play as a mage. Will you play as a class that can tank? >_>
If by "Able to tank" you mean "Able to summon a tank", then ... yes. :)
Well.
We have a name. (Bigfire!)
We have a motto. (Allegiance! Or Death! BIGFIRE!)
We have a driving goal (Big FIRE!)
Ummm.
What else do we really need? :P
A mascot?
Someone willing to pick the 'Warrior' class. ^^
In case anyone is curious for the beta, I have a Night Elf druid (Lindele) on server 1, lvl 15.
As for server 34, which is where Rez and Rat hang out, I have two characters. A lvl 13 human rogue (Harpsichord) and a really low-level dwarf hunter (Reklinn).
When the game goes live, both Cy and I will be purchasing it. I'm thinking about working on another night elf druid, as I like the class. And hunting down an RP server would be nifty. =)
Cy has a lvl 13 Warlock on server 34, by name of Koryn.
I can't get into the beta ... downloaded 70% of the file before my HD crashed and the entire thing was lost.
Even though I am paying for the connection, my roomates won't let me download it again (Blizzard's stupid un-throttleable client saturates the connection).
I'll just hold out until Tuesday. But, just as an FYI to Carth "OMG, Without a PC Tank, We're Fuxx0r3d!" Rat, my secondary character is a Night Elf Warrior. With a pet panda.
My primary is going to be a human warlock. Good stuff.
For anyone playing evil, I'll also be playing the part of a Tauren Shaman. :D
OK, the open beta is over. and it was fun. But anyway!
Blizzard claims that they have no plans to make a server that's both RP and PvP. They might, but who really knows - so we'll have to choose.
In any case, I do have a request. We *could* just have the first person to log in to World of Warcraft post here when they pick their server, but if possible I'd like to get some kind of rule of thumb we can use to figure out what server we should be on. This is for two reasons.
(A) I don't like relying on the board, at least partially because I can't access it from work - I know, I could ask over AIM, but it's not unheard of for nobody to be online.
(B) I've been asked by several people who don't even know Soulriders exists, let alone check it for updates, as to what server I'll be playing on because they'd like to be on the same one or look me up - and I'd sorta like to have an answer to give them before they go and create characters elsewhere.
I'm tempted to say the RP board. Why? Less density of jerks. :/
*grumbles at the fact Rez has been blocked from the boards at work :\*
Dracos
Keep in mind, you CAN go into PVP mode on any of the servers. You just don't default to it. =)
As for which server to play on, I'll probably have at least one character on an Eastern server. But I'll be willing to go along with everyone else on a Pacific server or whatnot and try to get on there with everyone else.
Okay. I think we value RP over PVP. And since we can GO PVP, as has been pointed out....
I don't know how many of us will do this, though. And be advised, to the best of my knowledge, it's REALLY easy to go PVP, and significantly less easy to go back to non-PVP.
Deleted for security raisins. Mmm, raisins.
You only remain PVP for five minutes after you:
(1) Attack an enemy NPC or player
(2) Heal or buff an ally (human or npc) in combat with an enemy
(3) Do the /pvp command
Once you haven't done any of these for a period of five minutes, you're stood down from PVP state.
I'd heard it was an hour. But that's pretty swell!
Good showing, Rez. =D
Dracos
This whole game is set for PvP. From what I read on the WoW website, there will be zones that automaticaly switch you to PvP. Those would be at the faction borders, where actual combat between the two sides is likely. They will exist even on the normal servers.
Battlegrounds. Those should be very cool. They're also not in the game yet. ;.;
Just a few more days and they should be.
Oh those will rock... as long as you're really high level and can actually compete. ^^
Installing the game now... This might take a few.... @_@
Incidentally, if we're going to have a guild, it really should be called Soulriders. >_> Advertisement.
Ok. Apparently there are only two RP servers up right now. One in Eastern, one in Pacific time zones.
Both IY-chan and I made characters on the Silver Hand, Pacific RP server.
Koryn, male human warlock with the cutest mini Lord of Terror is my char.
I just got WoW today, and I'm installing it now. The only characters I have planned to create are a Dwarven Hunter and an Undead Rogue.
I post when I actually make the characters
Some bastard took 'Relm' and 'Rez'. Bitches.
Aha! Nobody will have taken 'Carthrat'!
I'm now Kerrik (Tauren Shaman) and Shaya (Human Warlock) on Silver Hand.
I have a human mage named Kerasyn. Level 8, on Silver Hand. Yarrrr.
Generous offers of cash deleted until we figure out who's buying what from who and for wherefore why whizzle! :D
I had mentioned (in chats, etc.) that I was planning on going the tailoring route -- wanted to try and be the guild tailor.
Guess I should have mentioned it here.
Okay, I'll help you build up linens and such. :)
Edit: I think I'll take up enchantment. I doubt anyone will be finding enchanted weapons for quite some time, and it'll be longer still before anyone is willing to give them up, but hey, don't want to miss out on the chance for a second trade skill running. ._.
Oh.
Dammit, sorry, I didn't realize - I'd been doing it in the beta and it had been really useful. ^^;; I thought you were going more towards the enchanting route.
Although, come to think of it, it didn't occur to me to wonder what your second profession was going to be. >.>
EDIT: Dude, enchantment for high levels! And go tailoring if you're thinking of enchanting, from what I've seen they'd mesh pretty well. Tailors can make enchanted items themselves, after all.
My tauren shaman's going the skinning/leatherworking route.
We need an alliance skinner/leatherworker.
We should also look into beating some of our fellow players into helping us get other outfitting professions, such as mining and smithing. :p
Once we can assemble parties to cover miners while they go to work....
Well, I was going to make an NE hunter who I figured I could do some skinning and leatherworking with, but he'll only be my alternate character.
*ponders*
We have Paladins and Warriors and stuff, I'm sure they wouldn't be averse to a bit of blacksmithery! ;p
I think I'll have my NE warrior be a leatherworking/skinning dude. It doesn't take much to be able to make good leather for our newbs.
Which, BTW, is something I'd like to do. Be able to set up 'care packages' for our newbs, and eventually even our alts. Just good level 5-10 gear for whatever class. "Congratulations and welcome to our guild, mageling. Have some cloth armor!", etc.
This is more feasible thanks to mail. :p
But, we could also charge our newbies the materials it takes to build the gear for them. They get to work a bit for decent armor (collecting linen, leather, ore, etc.), and our crafters get some practice. Of course, it's all the high level stuff we really want to build, but ... well, eventually. ;)
I've made several characters on Silver Hand.
Groki - Dwarf Warrior
Kaleda - Night Elf Druid
Xaldaran - Human Mage
Chibiusa - Gnome Warlock
Sharil - Troll Shaman
EDIT:
Made a new character on Terenas.
Uris - Troll Rogue
EDIT 2:
Made another new character on Silver Hand
Kirika - Night Elf Rogue
Hmm . . .
Well, hey. :D
Hey, people! As a general rule, could you not sell such things as these to vendors?
Ore
Cloth
Leather
Gems
Trading those between us is going to help everyone . . . aaaaand if you want the money now, then call out on the general channel - players in the game will pay more for them than the vendors will. ;)
The going rate is 4 silver for a stack of twenty linen and I think 5 silver for a stack of twenty leather; nothing else comes up on the market often enough for me to suggest a price on.
I daresay that any enchantable items will be wanted by aspiring enchanters to disenchant so they can enchant items the way they want to enchant them, rather than having to scourge for the enchantment items to use on their enchantables in less satisfactory ways.
Kaincael, Dwarf Hunter in Silver Hand
and
Judin, Undead Rogue in Terenas (Mountain Time. Very low usage, and there's no queue.)
Oh yeah, I just hit level 10 with the Undead Rogue. He is so freaking sweet, that I'm not sure if I want to play as the dwarf anymore. The dwarf hasn't had any professions yet, so...
Probably true, but right now I need silver REAL baaaaadly. If you give me some money for them. :P
So says the man with, "Oh no! What am I supposed to do with 130 linen? I'm so overloaded! Oh, and I'm *still* charging you for a shirt."
In unrelated news, I picked up Herbalism and Alchemy, so I plan to be churning out mana and health potions for all to use. They only stack in groups of 5, though, and I keep running out of vials. >_<
'Course I'm not giving you a free shirt. I have a total of 6 silver, 58 copper, and can't afford half my spells. I'm not giving you linen, dye, and all this crap I've had to spend money on without some compensation, because I need money too.
Anyway, this brings me to my next point.
I'm not really doing much tailoring. I'm stockpiling. My current inventory'o'crap is:
Cloth:
68 linen cloth
1 bolt of woolen cloth
2 silk cloth
Misc:
5 malachite
1 copper tube
Leather:
16 light leather
EDIT: Updated. >.>
So yes, I can supply things, obviously most especially linen.
I will charge for supplying things, but it's negotiable, and I definitely won't ask more than I paid for it (20cp for linen, for instance). I think that's fair, this stuff cost me a lot to get together.
Anyway, I have a few regular suppliers of cloth. ;)
Update: I just sold about a hundred-twenty of that linen - at a profit on what I bought it at.
Cha-ching.
I'm still getting some in, so this is not slowing me down if you want some.
Yarr. I'm looking into enchantment as a good complimentary to tailoring. Right now, master Rez is probably the superior tailor, but that's okay. I'm splitting my time between three characters, one of which I'm creating tonight, the other two of which are level 10.
Tauren Shaman with skinning/leather.
Human Warlock with tailoring/enchantment.
Night Elf Warrior with skinning/leather (again!). But leatherworking is so much fun, see....
Not entirely - I have a bunch of linen for you, too. ;)
I'm actually having more fun doing this buying and selling thing than I am the crafting. :D
I should have mentioned Tailoring/Enchanting on my human warlock earlier, eh? :/ Got Tailoring up to around 20 the first day of play... Which has been my last one until the weekend.
I was thinking of going with Mining/Blacksmithing for my NE Warrior, but that will have to wait a bit since the elf lands are poor in mining materials.
I've gone the Herbalism/Alchemy route in the Beta, but it was only a semi-useful combo for my warlock then.
I might just try a couple gathering jobs if people are better at the stuff I picked up so far. :/
Don't knock mining and such. Being able to collect what everyone else needs is awesome. And if you can mine, someone else could engineering/smithing, and we could get all sorts of fab gear.
I and a friend - Antitribu - are going to be taking on the Deadmines probably on Thursday or Friday our time, or on Saturday. Most likely Saturday, in the middle of the day ourr time (Friday night for you). Anyone level 16-17 or higher at that time is welcome to come along. :)
Current characters:
Tresjin - Level 10 Human paladin on Kil'Jaeden
Ferrian - Level 8 Human priest on Lightbringer
Wysteria - Level 6 Night Elf hunter on Sargeras
Riolla - Level 8 Gnome warrior on Blackrock
Melvin - Level 6 Tauren druid on Terenas
Malabulfar - Level 2 Dwarf hunter on Silver Hand
EDIT: Or, a picture instead...
(http://home.pusan.ac.kr/~hilman/chars.jpg)
Well, I managed to jump my Tailoring to Journeyman status. Still not as good as some, but it provides me with some decent equipment.
On the other hand, Enchanting is a bitch to level and I would appreciate donations of green quality equipment that people can part with. I'm also offering free enchantments, minor though they are. +5HP on chest/bracers, +1 Defense skill on bracers, and minor wands.
Quote from: "Rezantis"I and a friend - Antitribu - are going to be taking on the Deadmines probably on Thursday or Friday our time, or on Saturday. Most likely Saturday, in the middle of the day ourr time (Friday night for you). Anyone level 16-17 or higher at that time is welcome to come along. :)
Hmmm... Depending on what time, I'll try to join up. I can't stay up too late as I got one of those silly morning shifts the next day.
Even though we have a supposed server we're supposed to play on, there's a bunch of people who play on other servers... bah. Either that, or it's just that I'm never on when anyone else is. What is Rez and Carth's names in WoW?
Kerasyn and Tsiran respectively.
Ehhh, most of the people in this thread play on Silver Hand primarily, where other people play isn't really my concern, 'cause I'm unlikely to link up with them. :)
Oh, yes. Minor update to my previous post. My schedule changed a bit, and I will be able to play longer.
Hey, alchemist peoples!
I want an Elixir of Wisdom. It's a handy-dandy ingredient for a recipe I want to make.
Can you make one, and if so, how much?
Don't think so. It might be an Expert Alchemy thing, I don't think they teach it to students like me. >_<
I'll check. What do you need it for?
OKAY!
On actually assembling the guild:
I will spend Friday night (pretty much all of it) actually getting the guild ready for people to join. I'm going to be buying the guild charter tonight. If you meet up with me before Friday, let's do the signature thing. If we don't?
I'm spending all day Friday waiting in Stormwind. I hope to have Grand High Powerleveler Rez offer to escort anyone who needs help getting there (:p) to sign it, but I'm going to be spending pretty much all evening on Friday (starting from 10:00 PM PST, and going on until 2:00 AM PST) just hanging out in Stormwind and waiting for signatures.
As to the technical details: I haven't gone over this before, so I'm going to lay it down right now.
The guild should exist both OOC and IC. Mainly, I (personally) expect the guildchat to generally be OOC. I also consider /p and /t (or /w) to be OOC. Only what everyone can see is IC all the time.
I'd like, honestly, to make WoW an actual RPing experience. To that end, my characters have personalities, etc. I expect most of you are largely the same. Before we create this guild, I'd like everyone to know what my expectations are. If no one agrees with what I want, we'll find a compromise that makes everyone happy.
However. My plan is to have us create a guild, and then play our characters together. Ideally, our members will arrange what basically amounts to skits. Just as an example, my NE warrior has already refused guild invites (why am I only popular in online fantasy? ;_;) on the grounds that he owes his life to a mage that rescued him from certain death. So anything that concerns his loyalty has to go through his mistress. (Hi, Rez!)
Eventually, I'd like us to have setups where we can try and draw other players into RPing, as well. Basically, by doing things where everyone can see -- almost, in a sense, taking RP to the level of performance art. I know this sounds silly, probably, but hey, this is RPing, and we're on the RP server. I've been lucky so far and not run into a lot of hard-core power-gamers, or even people who can't/won't RP at all. But why not have fun RPing, added to the feedback and response we can get in the game?
I think it would be really rewarding if we could establish a guild with a very strong reputation as "cool people to hang out with". Well, for the alliance, anyway. ;)
Anyway. These are only my ideals, and I don't want to be forcing them on anyone else. If you agree, awesome, if you don't, let me know what we should use as the actual goals of our guild. And now? I log in to get that Charter.
And listen, people. We all know the most important aspect of any guild is *what the tabard looks like*. We don't want to leave *anyone* out the design process. Get your opinions in now!
Tabards are cool, but I don't think anyone can afford one casually. It costs 10 gold to create a tabard for a guild, and 1 gold when you actually buy one... Even if we split the cost of creation, that's quite expensive. :/
Right now, yes. Who's for white flames on a field of red? XD
Quote from: "Brian"Right now, yes. Who's for white flames on a field of red? XD
Sounds good. What shall the flames alight upon, though? A conventional log o' burning, or perhaps a bunny rabbit?
Actually, it's just flames.
Edit: Also, I BEAT a signature out of Rat. :)
Two signatures so far. One Rez, and one Rat. Anyone else, I should be online for a good while tonight, and of course, we have Friday.
I have three Alliance characters that I could gives signatures to. Two are in the human lands, one is in the Dwarven.
And some character stats, for those who care.
Lindele: lvl 20 Night Elf druid. Does Herbalism/Alchemy. You want potions, I'm the one to ask. I'm nearing Expert on almost all my skills.
Harpsichord: lvl 7 (but going up) Human Rogue. Skinning/Leatherworking. I haven't worked on her too much yet.
Reklinn: lvl 10 Dwarven hunter. Minning/Engineering, with a planned specialization in guns.
That's about it. I can't be bothered with reading everything I've missed in here. I'm too busy playing Warcraft. =p
in Silver Hand, which I assume this guild'll be formed, I have currently only two important characters
Kaincael, level 8 Dwarf hunter and
Mächtigmaus, level 7 Gnome rogue, soon to be leveled as soon as I can. And yes, he has an umlaut in his name. The rogue has mining and Engineering, and I've been kinda working on that...
Anyone know what Brian's characters are named?
Sounds fine to me.
Brian knows what his characters are named.
You will want to contact Shaya, the Warlock.
Level 15, human.
Also:
Level 11 NE warrior named: Solariat
Level 12 Tauren Shaman named: Kerrik
Kt, I am never, ever going to send your gnome a tell - or an invite. I bet you don't get many, either. That name is hard to type. :p
I have Kerasyn, level 21 human mage (skinning/tailoring); and Celdien (who knows), level 6 NE Rogue.
Rez: Gnome-hater! :P
It's simple. o_O; Alt+0228
I also like soloing. When I don't die often, that is. So, has the guild been created yet?
Woot, level 11 gnome. >_>
We are missing one person.
On Sunday, I will attempt to undertake the mastering of the umlaut.
Update: It's complete. The guild exists! Everyone but my little brother is ranked at least Vetran. Rez is always online, so he can recruit alts for other people. :D
Quote from: "Kt3"It's simple. o_O; Alt+0228
It doesn't work. :P
Either your computer's broken, Rez, or you're not doing it right. :)
Here's what you do.
Press and HOLD Alt.
Press 0
Press 2
Press 2
Press 8
And then RELEASE Alt.
You should get: ä
Oh, and... screenshots!...when I fix them.
Screenshot 1: Interesting video glitch which I believe is due to my card.
Screenshot 2: just... see. Amusing. :)
I always feel this urge to hover the mouse cursor over icons on screenshots for more info....
I didn't get this game at launch and won't be able to have it for a couple of days. I've been account-sharing with my brother, but he's a real ass about it, plus I don't get to keep any characters I build up on that account. Does anyone with the Collector's Edition have a guest pass they can spare for me? I know that I'll have the game within ten days at least, I want to have my "real" character to play with, and after having played this game once, "not playing until I can get the retail version" is sheer lunacy. Help a brother out?
Quote from: "Kt3"Either your computer's broken, Rez, or you're not doing it right. :)
Heh!
Nah, I have a laptop - see, you need to do it with a numeric keypad, and laptops don't have them - or they do, but they're a real pain. So nyah. :)
Rez:
Well, there are more ways around it.
For one, if you see me in the guild, you can just highlight my name and hit "Send Message", or if you see me say something in guild or normal chat, just left click my name. >_> It's quite easy to contact me, I believe, but just harder for people who're not sure what they're doing.
Brian:
Spy! :P
Other news:
Level 15 with Rogue. So, officially, I can pick locks, but I'm not sure how exactly to do that, nor have I had a chance to, until I hit 100 in engineering, when I can make practice locks.
Oh, and I have an elite quest I'd love help on. Anyone interested?
There is a great place to practice picking locks in Redridge Mountain. Just follow the north shore of the lake east from Lakeshire and look for the lumbermill. Inside there are a number of practice locked boxes that you can use.
I trained Kirika's pick lock from 1 to 97 in about 10-15 minutes there.
And almost turned Shaya into a mouse, while you were at it.
AHA, I live!
Even though Horde am cooler, I now have a Night Elf Hunter on Silver Hand. Not only that, but a a Night Elf Hunter who's an overworked college student working on a term paper that never ends!
Yeah, I won't be playing WoW for a little bit...
My video card went kaput, and I'm sending it back for a replacement. And I certainly can't run WoW on what I got now, so... :/
Thread moved, since you guys have your own special little squeaking new forum and all.
Bailde -- Dwarf, Paladin
...holy crap. My video card still isn't back yet. -_-;;
I'm gonna go check what it's status is online.
*sent it in for an RMA*
I didn't realize I wasn't logged in at the time, so... >_>
Alright guys, I have to announce that I won't be playing WoW anymore... I just don't have a drive to do well in it, y'know, and it costs per month, so...
I'm still playing Warcraft 3, specifically the DOTA map, which is what takes up most/all of my time, and the best part is that it's free, so... feel free and remove me from the guild list. Thanks.
Tides of Blood > DOTA.
BLADEMASTA POWA!
Well, you shouldn't play to 'do well', you should play to have fun. :p
And if you aren't having fun, then that's fine, too. Do what does make you happy.
Imma buying a copy. I won't begin playing for about a week and a half though, to make the most of the free month.
Quote from: "Trunkyboy"Imma buying a copy. I won't begin playing for about a week and a half though, to make the most of the free month.
Do you have a month off then? Otherwise, I'd sign up the morning on a day off, so you get the first full day for yourself, if that's what you're angling for.
If you have a week off, what does it matter if that week-off comes at the beginning of you month, the middle, or the end. Middle may be better. When you get started, the first couple hours are spent in the newbie lands, so doing it in small chuncks is easier than some of the higher end quests where you'll want large chuncks of time to sink into the game.
I don't think the month is tied to a calendar month. I think it's tied to time since you sign up. If it is calendar month, shouldn't waiting till March be better? You get 31 days in March, only 28 in February.^_^
All my opinion. So do as seems pleasing to you. ^^
I signed up today. The month is not literal, it's a number of days. Gonna play it fully on Friday, since I am off.
Oh, I made a human pallydin, his name is Darryus. Incidently, what are good skills for a pallydin to take? Mining? Blacksmithing?
Backstabbings.

Since you have healing and some other buffs, alchemy or medicine aren't essential. Though Alchemy does give you good buffs.
Mining and blacksmithing are good. My pally has that combo. If you pay attention and don't waste money on the auction house, it's a good money maker. I will say, I didn't end up using much of what I've made personally. I usually find something better than I can make throughout what Ive done. Blacksmitting isn't that lucrative a field. A lot of the better plans call for quite a few ingredients which can be expensive.
Mining and engineering. The mining will get you gold, but a lot of the things engineers make aren't sellabll.
Enchanting is expensive. Though you can sell enchantments, people generally won't buy until you get high level enchants.
Tailoring is a decent money maker. But not as lucrative as mining or skinning.
Skinning is probably the biggest money maker, mainly because of the abundance of supply, if you have the patience.
Letherworking has some cool patterns.
Since you're a pally, you don't need to buy a mount, so money isn't as big a deal as it is to others.
So choose for fun.
If it's money, I'd say to choose Mining and Skinning. Or skinning and leatherwork.
Mining and smith if you want some money and to feel you can make things that are useful to yourself.
If it's to supplement armor, I'd say Mining and Smithy.
Engeneering looks cool, but for a full fun factor talk to Rez, I haven't gotten any characters far along that track.
Alchemy and herbalism or Skinning and Enchanting if you want to further supplement your buffs, healing, etc.
In the end, what do you choose to do!
Engineering is fun and very cool, but . . . if you want to make money, I think herbalism and either mining, skinning or alchemy is the way to go. OTOH, I found herbalism/alchemy boring.
Go with whatever seems coolest. :)
I almost never end up selling my alchemy potions. Even with my healing, I use them more than I sell them. ^^;;
Armor seems to sell the best though.
WoW comes out tomorrow. Finally. I have no idea when they're going to let us make characters on US servers, but they said they'd "have a system for us to play with friends in the US". Take that as you will.
Anyway, when I get on US servers, I'd like to join up with you guys.
You're always welcome to join. I'll pre-emptively add you to the guild forum.
