Look up three messages DA  :whistle:

I'm level 17 now and have a speciality in leatherworking so if you need +8 armour patches applying i can toughen up what you're wearing.

I also pick up some tasty weapons/armour/wands/blueprints.......let me know what is good for you and i'll sort you out if i can.

Message me in game ( on Argent Dawn server ) by adding me to friends and we can help each other out.

[ChimpBoy]

Yeah come on over to the Argent Dawn server mate - much better audience and more folks are more group orientated.  Plus they speak dead funny olde worlde stuff

We're all still early in the game so move to Argent Dawn now before you get too attached to your toon - would make sense if we stuck on the same server and got guilding.

Niel - I'll message you on sunday when I'm back on.  Feel free to add me ("Jahred") to your friends list (I've added you) and I'll call on you soon to cadge some gear

Ditto re Argent Dawn. Sadly I'm already in a Guild but I'd resign to sign up to a dMw version.

Also sadly I had to kill off my level 12 Druid. I got her stuck in a map flaw and Hearth-stoning back to my Inn meant I lost the ability to continue her training as I couldn't get back to Moonglade. So I started again

why dont you play horde?

lvl 21 Troll Shaman   :ph34r:

Are the sides as unbalanced on the RP servers as they are on the other servers?

[smilodon]

I've not seen any Horde players so far, but when I was trying out the races there seemed to be shed loads of Undead, Tauren and Orcs. I think the Tauren are one of the more popular races. The gnomes and trolls are underepresented.

To be honest on a Role Play server I doubt it would make a lot of difference until you were very high level and fancied your chances in an enemy land.

AFAIK the popularirty goes like

Night Elves
Humans
Taurent
Dwarves
Undead
Orcs
Trolls
Gnomes

night night DA

[Armitage]

OK I'm buying this tomorrow,

what sever do i join., and what classes do we need in the clan or are the best

[smilodon]

I suggest you take a look at

WOW Europe
WOW Net

One of the most important things I've learnt is that to enjoy the  game the most you need to explore and quest. Treat the game like a game and not like a mad rush to get the highest level character you can and it will play much better. The game designers have worked very hard to make leveling up is just a natural consequence of playing the game and not something you want to be conciously trying to achieve. Take time to enjoy the extraordianry depth of the world and what's going on in it. Everything links together and the unfolding narative is a delight.

I, Neil and Chimpy play on the Argent Dawn server which is a role play server. It's a laugh, adds some authenticity and role players seem very keen to help out each other. It's tough to complete many quests on your own and the only sure way to do it is within a group (a band of players who group together to attempt a quest together and share the proceeds). Role players seem more likely to help each other out IMHO.

Something to note though is if you want to meet up with us you should join the alliance side (Human, elf, dwarf or gnome). If you go for the horde (Tauren, Orc, Troll or Undead) we'll probably never meet, except in battle :-)

So Argent Dawn, Alliance and then what ever you want to be.

two more qustions

i have been reading on the forums about wait time to get on the Servers. is this true and how bad is it? and after playing KO for a bit i'm used to being dumped off the  server every 10 minutes. Tell me the WOW serves don't do the same?

[smilodon]

There are some popular servers that have queues to get onto them, basically they are full. There are loads that don't though and Blizzard (the game developer) have already opened about half a dozen new servers. When you log on for the first time the game will suggest a low population server for you to join. Assuming you want to pick your own server (Argent Dawn?) you just select it from the server list and create your character for that server ignoring the suggestion.

On the left of the login panel is a list of high population servers that Blizzard suggest you don't create characters on (it's also on their web page. Argent Dawn has never been one of them though. I have never had a problem getting onto the server, except for some grief I had with my badly configured NAT router. I really don't imagine you'll have a problem

I'd second that - this is not a "grind" game like SWG.  There's too much to do  Forming groups is easy on a RP server and really adds to the experience.  If you want to solo (1) get used to dying a lot (2) you're missing out on a lot of fun.

Just get Niel to help you out and upgrade your armour

I sat down at 10am to play yesterday and left the computer at 6.30pm.  Now my back hurts and I'm developing carpel-tunnel

I woder if I am alone in getting horrible problems accessing either the servers or the //www.wow-europe.com web site?

Since last night I've been getting pings of upto 4000 and rarely less than 400. The euro web site seems to be down as well. Is it just me or is the whole WOW Euro system falling over?

My mate who shares the same ISP as me can't see the web site. However my dad who's on NTL cable can see the site but gets a message saying it's being taken off-line due to huge demand. All very confusing, but I assume it's not something with either my PC or my ISP?

Anyone having problems?

Turns out it was all down to my dodgy NAT router  

[Niel]

Can everyone that is on Argent Dawn please tag their Character name on here.

At the moment it's difficult for most of us to team up because of level differences but we can sure as hell help each other out with items/upgrades.

My own personal gift is that everyone can have free armour upgrade patches that i can make ( currently i can add +8 to the armour value of Chest/Leg/Hand and Foot armour .....gives you an extra +32 to the rating ). I will soon be able to make +16 patches.

So....add your name and via the game mail system i'll post you 10 free armour patches.
