Wow

[Sithvid]

Hello I have just bought WOW £7.99 HMV (Twine) Not bad. I didn't intend to but did.
A few questions before I open the box : (not my normal learning style I can tell you, open packet shove in PC set up etc)

So Are the SOG's a friendly bunch
I have read the links can I join
What character should I start with
When do you play  
Do I really have to pay every couple of months

I intend using one of my old role playing names from D&D Dragon Warriors Middle Earth Judge Dread Call of Cthulu Twilight 2000 Chill.... (we had 18 RPG's) which have been redundant for 20+ years.

[Penfold]

I'm not a WoW'er but I think it's really important the you join Azzune  (whatever that is?) as it's where they all play.

Not sure if it's a server or a world or what not :blink:

As for SoG I've lifted this from their section:

Pre-TBC the Silver Oak Guardians was one of the biggest guilds on Aszune, and we were among the top raiding guilds on the server (see our [thread=12576]Raid Progress[/thread] thread). As many others, we faced some challenges when the expansion was released, but we prevailed and are now on our way back up again.

SOG is today a large guild with over 100 accounts. As it always has been, our main focus is to offer a mature, friendly and social gaming environment for our members, including end-game raiding and Guild PVP groups. We do not need or want to recruit loot whores, immature kids or those unable to contribute successfully towards a team goal. If you're unable to be nice to people and work as part of a team, then please do not apply. We count you the person as more important than your gear - that's why we insist on every application having a current full member as a sponsor. If you have no sponsor then we have nobody who can vouch for your good character and behavior and your application will therefore be automatically declined.

The Application Process:
In general, everybody is welcome to apply for membership. You should however be aware of that we have a "why say yes" policy when treating applications - which means that it is up to you to give us some really good reasons for why we should invite you to our guild. As previously mentioned, it is also a requirement* that you have a full member sponsoring you. A sponsor should be somebody you know well, and you should also remember to ask that person before you list him/here as your sponsor.

After an application have been submitted, it will be available to our Members for comments. Ref. our "why say yes" policy, we will also here expect to find comments supporting your application and giving us a reason to invite you. When we have reached a conclusion, you will be notified about the result, so please do not bother Officers in-game about the status of your application (as this will only hurt your cause).

If You are Invited:
If your application is accepted, you will be invited into the guild and given the Initiate status. Whilst an Initiate, your performance, behavior and attendance will be monitored and reviewed by the Guild. After an initial period and a review by the Officers, it will then be decided whether or not full Member status will be granted. This review usually happens after about a month, but can be earlier or later at the Officers' discretion.

Please also note that whilst and Initiate, you will always be in the back of the line when it comes to participating in our organized raids. This is to avoid having people join merely for an easy raid spot. An exception to this will of course be made if we are recruiting somebody to fill a specific class need. [thread=19693]This thread[/thread] will inform you when there is such a need (HIGH).

* Exceptions can be made if we are looking for people to fill a specific class need for raiding. Your application will still be stronger with a sponsor though.

Good luck

Join Aszune and play as Alliance. Thats a good start

I believe Merdok(sp?) and Venom have recently started as well.

Yea it's true, you need to pay monthly. I don't know what the going rate is, but you get discounts for paying for more time upfront.

a Paladin is like the easiest char to begin with (though lots of noobs play it too) Shaman is the most fun. Roque is simpeler too and still alot of fun.  And the Silver Oak Gueardians i knew where a real friendly bunch though its been over a year now that i quited.

Hayyzz, I iz no n00b, I iz 1337 manz.

Haha, yeah, Paladins are pretty good, got one myself, made 100 Gold at level 30-ish, without funding. (100G at that level, is pretty good.)

I haven't checked out Aszune yet, so not sure if it's PvP, or PvE, or RPG.

You can either pay with Credit card, or Game Card, I prefer Game Cards, as they're more flexible. (I.E: I won't play for a month, so once my Game Card runs out, I'll stop for a bit. Then buy another?)

A good starting class is: Paladin, Rouge, Mage(Even though I personally HATE them.), or maybe a priest. Just make a few, and see what ya like I guess.

Aszune is a PVE server, SOG (where most dMw play) is on the Allegiance side. While all servers have the same copy of the game world, players cannot play with people on other servers. Exception is the pvp zones which are shared betweens server clusters, but at 10-15 players a zone, with 1000's of players its rare to see people from the same server, not to mention specific people.
 
SOG atm has people on all round the clock.
 
As for the class, try some and get a feel for what works best for you, personaly i cant stand ranged and healing classes, while TL cant stand melee for the most part. Its all personal preference.
 
If you want any more information, let me know, and ill fill in any blanks you might have.
Hth.
