Hey all. Just got around to getting myself a copy of this game and hoping to join in for tonight’s fun once all the patching has been completed.

Just wondering what sort of time it generally kicks off and if Twobads 5 paces to hit anything is the standard Noobishness I should be aiming for :narnar:  (starts scratching head with trying to work out which end does the business)

Thought best start a new thread rather than spam in new comers section.m:norty:

Have had a quick look at the various threads on tanking and could not see much about Death Knights and as am very new to the ways of DK's (shammy, mage & warriors my trade) am thinking of giving the tanking side a bash.

Any advice or links to set ups / specks would be good. I understand that frost is needed but other than that am a little lost so anything would be good like rotations etc.

How long have you been playing computer ames and what kind?
I have been playing computer games since 1st gen spectrum and being addicted to things like Gauntlet and Dizzy series. Recently I have got Napoleon Total war and a big fan of RTS games. Although do enjoy CS, LFD and COD and other FPS. Am not a fan of many driving games unless things crash and explode or sports games.

What kind of raiding experience do you have?
I have been playing wow since the very first beta and been to all instances in 10 man mode and some at 25 man. Very good experience in 10 man and tactics like in ICC but not as much play in 25 man. This having been said used to do Molten Core 40 man weekly back in the day.

What other guilds have you been in and why did you decide or were forced to move on?
On another server Doomhammer, Wildcards, Twist of Fate and Deathwatch. I am still in Twist of Fate where a lot of my friends play but I know some guys in real life in DMW and thought I would role a new toon and see what the wow side of things was like.

Do you actively play any alts that we could find you in in case we need to contact you?
Not on the server DMR are on but on Doomhammer my main is Jstar and main alts Kirby, Gortex.

If you are a cross-server applicant, name someone from your home server that can vouch for you.
Feezuki, BlueLady, Munchken or Corren.

What are your plans for the game?
I want to play from new toon and get to know the guild and the people in it before possibly joining the raiding team. I raid a bit on Doomhammer but want to step it up at some point and fancy a change and new challenges.

In what way would you like others to know you?

J is fine

Tell us about your personality, and why you enjoy the game.
I am quite a sosical sort of person and love playing games which both challenge me and are both playable and enjoyable. I do not like arogent players or unhelpful players and encourage constructive crititisam where ever possible. I take real life friends and getting to know people above the computer side which is why I sign up for things like the Lan etc.

Name one thing you don't like about WoW in its current state.
Playing from beta I know how hard it was to get levelled up before with few addons and little gold etc and getting to end game fights which were much harder than they are now. So I don't like the fact it is almost too easy to get to the top gear and look like you know what your doing when you don't.... Gear score is not everything.....

Why did you decide to play this class?
Not really played a DK and wondered what they are like.

What do you think your class' role is in raid content?
Well as am new to DK's I am not sure what I will do but might try tanking and failing that dps

Comment on your build. Why did you choose it?
N/A at the moment

What do you think of other builds of your class?
Again this is ongoing so advice is good


Why didn't you choose one of those? (important question)


This guild

What do you look for in a guild?
Mature fun people to raid with. Also people who look for more in a game rather than just a bit of loot that makes them that little bit better than others.


''Dead Men Raiding'' - What comes to mind when you see that guild name?
Friends I know in Dead Men Walking.

There are other guilds on the server, why did you apply to us?
Because friends I know in real life play in DMW

Who do you know in Dead Men Raiding?
I don't know anyone yet but will do

How do you know them?
N/A

Have you read our 'what we look for' and 'philosophy' posts? What do you think of them?
I agree with it and think it is sensible to have clear and easy to understand rules. Some of the guilds I have been in tend to make issues too complicated and so end up with arguments.

Annoying questions

A guildie says something you find offensive, what do you do?
If it were towards me then I would raise the issue with an officer or contact the person my self. If it were for someone else then I would monitor the situation and see if it got worse then contact an officer to address the situation.

Hello everyone.

Even though I have known some of you in person for years now (some almost 20) I have never signed up to the DMW site or really ever joined in one of the many games you play but which are were installed on my PC.

......Until now......:dribble::dribble::dribble:

After some convincing (over a pint or two) I have got my act together and registered and am looking forward to joining in the fun and games. Currently my PC is in the process of being sold to my girlfriend who's PC decided to give up the will to live and am in the process of getting a new system. So although I can not jump into games straight away it is on the cards but it does give me time to read the forums to understand the do's and don'ts.

I am very much into WOW which I have been playing since the original games final beta test. Although am currently on a different server to the one I believe Dead mean raiding are on. I also have CS, COD4, Team fortress and LFD 1&2.. and am looking at trying out ARMA as am being convinced it is good.
