It won't let me create a character on Aszune !!!  :ranting:

Seemingly this a a "temporary measure" to ease congestion....unless you already have a character on most ofthe servers you cannot make a new character on those same servers  :angry:  :angry:
Title: It's dragged me back
Post by: TeaLeaf on January 10, 2006, 12:44:36 PM
Be Alliance, that's where are main characters are.  Warlock is good for levelling quickly, as is Hunter, Priest and Rogue.  Druid is pretty good too with it's different forms (bear form, caster, cat form).  Pallie is boring (with pallie DPS it takes 3 hours to kill a squirrel but the good news us the squirrel will never manage to kill the pallie).  Mage is good, but difficult to solo as no armor.  Warrior gets a bit boring in the long run as all you are asked to do is go allow some big beastie to hit you whilst some priests heal you.

If I were starting a new character now (oops, I have) it would be a Lock as there are never enough of them around and so you tend to be the only Lock in the party and get to keep all the lock drops!  (TeaLock is my Lock's name).

I have all characters. Damn i need a life :(



Go for Hunter first then Druid.

Warrior is crap for solo and takes an age to kill. Also a nightmare to get out of sticky situations.

Priest is good fun if you like grouping all the time.

Pali ....kak

Mage.... big hitters and can keep out of trouble. But goes down quick. (no benny comments please)

Warlock.... bit like a hunter tbh.... but a pain for all the shards.


btw warrior is kak if i never mentioned it before.

Also if you're looking to join a guild then i'm in a reasonally sorted clan, "the British Knights" (though amusingly its got several dutch etc ) THere are a lot of low levelers in there and quite a few helpfull high levelers (including myself). I've stuck with these guys because they've worked well in parties before.

You'll find me online as Aluhna (im currently in the TheBritishKnights guild (without spaces) as the guild master needed help moving people over to the new guild. A farce the GM's couldn't help us with :-( grrrrr

Can you play with more than one at once?
Title: It's dragged me back
Post by: smite on January 10, 2006, 05:08:26 PM
No but you want to see what everyone else can do and you then have choices on what to play.

Like the choices between BF2 for spec ops or medic etc.

Nope...still can't make a character on Aszune  :angry:

Character creation on busy servers is limited to people that already have a character on there.

I'm playing on the RPPVP server The Defias Brotherhood and have got a Lvl 29 Warlock.........you were right in your other post about Wow being evil  :devil:

I keep meaning to come on for a game of CZ or BF2 but i keep getting that "i'll just do...." or "i'll just go check the AH..." and suddenly 4 hours disappears.... :blink:

All forgiven  :huggy:

However, I would ask a favour if I can? Please don't look at it as "taking the piss" because we aren't. If I was poking fun at anybody I was poking fun at myself for not having the slightest clue about WoW. I am in awe of people who have the patience to create characters and develop them. I don't have the patience. So please try not to see it as taking the piss, please see it as dMw peeps doing what dMw peeps do best, having a bit of a laugh with each other.

Please?

In view of the posts I've made in this thread and the post just made by TL, I thought it only right I should try the game. Oo, oo, free trial! Not unless you're American. Anyway, I had a delve about various sites and threads and came to this conclusion. It's too damned complicated for my poor old brain! So many decisions to be made before you even turn a pixel. (or pixie) Believe me, I went to bed last night thinking I might even get involved, TL, you made it sound quite appealing, but this morning it was a different story. My hat's off to those of you that play and understand WoW, to me it's the BA of gaming. I'll stick to 'see it-shoot it' or whizz round in circles' games. Easier on my remaining faculties.

I was in the same boat young man. I had no interest and bought it out of sheer curiosity.  There are times when I lose interest and find it slightly repetetive, mainly due to playing alone, but it still interests me, and it will eat up evenings.

Try it, it really does ease you in like a particularly caring night lady, there is nw sudden jump into strange bindings etc, the 'missions' (quests) slowly work you into the game, then you begin to divesify on the way, it truly is an organic experience.

It would be a shame not to try it, even if you don't like it, at least you'll know you gave it a chance.

(oh, and to answer your previous question, I'm the one you dream about when you wake up with a small patch of dribble on the pillow and a strange feeling of content)
