World Of Warcraft Discussion Thread

My guild chat doesn't even have to be taken out of context, its that way by design and the insane silliness of most of the people in my guild.

Examples of guild talk in the news posts. I warn you some of its a little odd...

Example of ours:

After many and many grueling weeks of learning to cope with Situational Blindness Syndrome, Adult Onset I-Can’t-Loot-My-Weapon Disorder, Egg-Wut Disorder with Hyperactivity, and plain ol’ fashioned Down Syndrome,

rofl, Kael, good times good times. Nice news page you have there, lol.. I killed our site so I need to rebuild it. Good times.

[Xacual]

Yeah there is a big joke on our server forum that the only reason anyone ever visits the page is to read the news posts.

This isn't Kruul, it's Kazzak. :P Kruul was usually pretty tame, as in he stayed outside the city core.
Apparently Blizzard learned from their earlier mistake, because Kazzak was pretty damn cruel when brought to civilization. Of course our king and Bolvar just stood there unharmed and did nothing....they must be burning legion agents!

Well the Shaman population of PM was bored last night! So we hijacked the bank!







heh was good fun, the wolf pack had a nice little chorus line routine going there to.

and back to your scheduled viewing!

[Komori]

We did something like that with bears last November. Good times.





I can't find the thread on the forums that had more pictures, but we sat around A'dal dancing while sitting in kitty form and raced around shat for a little while.

So has anyone rolled a character on the new server that opened up, Cairne? It opened February 27th and so far has 3 or 4 70s. The gates of AQ aren't open either so you still have a chance to get the mount and title if you can make the grind. Blizzard also changed the war effort so it's a lot easier to open the gates. Turn ins were increased greatly (something like 9x or 10x), maybe some other changes but that's the most noticeable. Thankfully the server is closed to transfers so people can't come in and ninja the gates.

I would have, but it seems one of two things typically happens with new servers. Either they wind up completely dead and deserted after the novelty wears off, or they become insanely high-pop and have gigantic queues. I prefer to roll alts on my main server anyway so I can fund them, it is a huge pain running around with no bags at the start. Though conversely I guess the prices of low level gear would actually be reasonable as opposed to on an established server; I don't care how much gold I have, I am not paying some ripoff artist 40 gold for a level 20 green.

Welcome to Proudmoore, land of the gouger!

lvl 20 blue twink item, 60g? sure why not! yeah, no.

This is the only screenshot I even HAVE of my character... XD
I swear I had more, but probably never uploaded them...

That's funny, I randomly started an alt on Proudmoore the other day, had no plans to continue playing him but now I definitely won't if it's just as bad as Stormscale. However, I am still curious about something. Among other things the reason I picked that server was because of the battlegroup, from what I looked up it appeared to be the best for alliance. From your experience is it actually any good? My high level alliance characters have been sitting collecting dust since I got a second account and rerolled horde on the same server, and I am looking for a place to transfer them to. I don't ever plan to play alliance on Stormscale again (idiots) and would like all my characters on the same account so I actually can play them without paying an extra 15 bucks a month.

Back to the prices, many blues are actually cheaper than greens on my server. Have seen many great twink blues for under 30g but Random Pants of the Monkey go for 40-60, it's ridiculous. My lowbie hunter is lv 26 but is still wearing the lv 10 green rep rewards from Tranquilien.

[krisslanza]

WoW Economy always got my angry. I know on my servers (Emerald Dream was one of them) they were always crazy.

Everything seems to be priced so that you can only afford things if you have some level 70 main who can feed you money.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Proudmoore isn't to bad, if you check the AH regularly you can find the odd deal or bargain occasionally. With the new item changes in 2.3 for lowbies you don't even need to buy twink gear anymore really (if you are going to continue leveling at least) because the gear is awesome now. Blues are generally more expensive though. The economy is fairly active, even lowbie stuff sells well, I had a mining alt leveling up, I was selling Copper Ore at 2g a stack the other day, yes 2g for Copper and I sold the 15 stacks I mined. Prices fluctuate a lot though. Personally I don't twink though, I'm much to much of a cheap ass and cant save gold worth a damn, I hate farming so much. But with the new dailys and stuff I have been tempted.

I do like our server despite its faults, its a REALLY high population but its spread out time wise because half the population is either Australian or American, but I can't remember the last time we had a queue. Lots of interesting people spend a couple months around Shattrath and you'll be able to pick out the regulars.

PvP, yeah BG8 (I think thats us, Bloodlust) is pretty good, we have Tichondrious (lol self proclaimed gods of PvP), Blackrock, Kil'Jaeden and a few others. So competition is pretty high. Alliance does win some, but you really need a pre-made to do it with regularity. Also, Alliance has like 0 queue time in our BG. AV, we don't go there anymore. You will pick up on the servers that are full of retards and/or wankers pretty quick though. PM seems to be a bit of a blacksheep, but we hold our own, we're just a little behind the other servers in progression. We seem to be a little more relaxed on the server in that regard, if thats possible in WoW.

" BG 9 ", actually. ^_^

I was close! 8's next to 9!

There actually are not that many BoE blues that are usable compared to max stat level x9 green in the lower brackets.

The trick is to aim for level x2-x6 items so that they're not max stat, if you want to have decent AH gear for leveling.

Yeah, I realize that about the blues but it is still weird to see best in slot blues going for less than greens, even if those greens are also the best in their respective slots.

As far as level goes, that doesn't even matter on my server. If an item is of the Monkey, Bear, or Eagle it goes for 40g, regardless of whether it's level 22, 26, or 29

That's all the convincing I need, if I can motivate myself to spend the money there will be a brand new worthless hunter (still in full tier 2!) and rogue on your server.

Athras is a mere puppet of the LK, the LK's defeat will only mean another evil will take over and bring terror to WOW. Of course, all that aside, what will be a good loot from Athras.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Well, see you on there then RWB. Have fun! If only you had a Mage that was keyed to MH/BT. >.>

I hear the servers are behaving oh so well today after the maint to.

Actually Athras and the LK are one and the same. Now anyway.
