Post by: sheepy on April 26, 2006, 02:02:13 PM
I have just bought world of warcraft.

Just so that I know, u guys are allience on azune server, is this correct?

I am thinking of starting with dwarf warrior, is this a really dumb choice or am I ok? I have read some guides as to classes and races and this apeals to me the most.

damn thing is that now I have bought it I can't play on it tonight! I have a darts team meating!

Well as I said im probably going Dwarf Warrior to start with

but im looking for feedback, is this a dumb idea?
Title: I have just ruined my social life!
Post by: Jamoe on April 26, 2006, 03:18:38 PM
Probably a nice idea as t will (imo) is probably an easier class to grasp for your first MMO. When you start out give Jamoe a shout and ill create a new char, I havent played as a dwarf so might be good chance to start one. :)

yup, I have several on both sides on Aszune.

However, it's only possible on PvE servers (such as Aszune) for PvP you're stuck with the side you pick (unless they've changed this recently)

[post=123950]Quoted post[/post]
[/b]

Pretty much all the npc vendors will buy the crap. As a rule, if the item text is grey then sell. If the text is white then it may be of value to another player so it is possibly worth checking before selling (though at a really low level, just sell) green and above are worth good money on the AH.

However, if you are going to use the AH, just sell. Don't buy until you're at least level 45 or you'll find that you'll never have any money and the stuff you do buy will be useless after a few levels. This advice is only good if it's your first character. Once you have a high level character and start a low level then you can kit out your low level with the high level supplying the goods / gold.

Worked your way into any parties yet Sheepy?  At about that level you start to pick up some Quests which are better done in groups (they go quicker and it's easier to defeat the mob you need to kill).  The party bit of the game is the best and from 5 person parties you get to 10 person raids and eventually 40 person raids :)  

You got any Addons installed yet Sheepy?  Makes the game go better.  Check the other thread.

there must be someone with a very similar name to you who was getting mesages then! i wont be on tonight! im going to a m8s in nottingham as im playing a golf tournament near there tomorrorw.

ive been on a couple of 3 person partys
one with a night elf hunter and a gnome who wasnt suited to melee but was trying to get stuk in so died!

the other was with 2 gnome mages completed 3 quests with them 2, the ones around the mine at gol:bolar that went very well as they just kept giving me armor and health with the occasional damage spell while i hacked away!

where can i get more tough jerkey/ apples/ healing potions cheap?

To get to level 9 after only a night of playing seems pretty fast (to a non WoW player anyway).

Nice one

Title: I have just ruined my social life!
Post by: sheepy on April 28, 2006, 02:39:48 PM
Total of about 7:30 -8 hours id guess to get this far, i believe that after lvl 10 it slows down a lot more, it took me about 2 hours to get to lvl 4 and the rest of that time to get to lvl 9.

I just want to have another big session in a group so that i can get up to lvl 11 so that i can use my shiny new axe!



















also im just damn clever / sexy / amazingly talented   (plz select as apropriate)

Not for WoW. I installed it on my PC and started playing at about 6:00 (when I got in after work, having left it patching during the day). I stopped playing at abot midnight/1am,, and I was lvl 9 by the time I stopped.

Took me about a month an a half to get bored of it, during which time i was like that. Now i have to twiddle my thumbs and wait for all my mates on teh server to hit my level so I can party with them instead of random people who turn out to be idiots 50% of the time.

Maybe I should make a char on Aszune, as Force9 are still making it sodding hard to play BF2...

Well, I now have Mazranus. A (currently) lvl 5 mage, on Aszune, as i've not tired a pure magic user before (have a Dwarf pally and an undead Rogue on other servers). If any other recent starters are around that lvl (or the higher lvl chars just want to mock me ;), or give advice), i'd welcome seeing some people from on here :)

Invites for our L60 SoG raids start at 19.15 server time (18.15 UK time) so I am guessing that there will be lots online from 18.00 UK time onwards.  Places in the raid should be settled by about 18.20 UK time, so you'll be able to shout for party people at that point!
