it's a roleplaying game without the roleplaying. therefore it's just a computer game that you play with other people. therefore i don't want it as a roleplaying game.

One of my coworkers practically does nothing but play the AH. He currently has something like 8000 gold at his disposal (not counting however much gold he currently has in active speculation).

― Dan (Fucker) Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 21 January 2006 18:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Okay, I have just discovered The Joy Of Farming (ie, taking your lvl 55 character into the Deadmines over and over and over again, alternating between selling off swag at the AH and shipping 'mats off to the enchanter toon). If it wasn't so hard to get to (and it wasn't camped all to be damned) I'd be farming the Scarlet Monestary, too.

i have not made 10 gold in 3 days and 11 hours.

HINT: If you are not a high level farming a lowbie instance, pick mining/skinning as your professions. Every animal you kill = $$$, plus every node you mine and smelt = $$$, PLUS (this is important) every abandoned, looted animal corpse you find = $$$$$.

You can switch to a crafting profession later on once you've actually got the cash to support it.

― Dan (Bare Minimum, Take Skinning For $$$) Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 22 January 2006 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I love this game, i took skinning for $$$.

ANOTHER HINT: Go to http://www.wowguru.com and download the following:

- Titan Panel
- CTMod

BAM! Your in-game experience is now a whole lot more fun.

― Dan (You're Welcome) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 23 January 2006 21:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I basically stopped using addons that weren't Titan Panel plugins. The one that tells you what the lowest-selling item in your inventory is and lets you delete it with a shift-click is Super-awesome!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 00:10 (eighteen years ago) link

OMG, I need that!

What do to at level 60

That Plugin:

And another that lets you keep track of your supplies of whatever you want.

― butts lmao (Adrian Langston), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 18:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I am in the middle of downloading Titan Panel and CTMod. I hope my in game experience is a lot more fun. Perry is the guru of WoW.

I got dragged over to playing the horde because one of my friends bought the game and went all out horde. I have a level 26 orc hunter now and it's a brand new realm with only one level 60 player in the entire game. This game is eating my life away, that is probably a good thing though.

― jeffrey (johnson), Thursday, 26 January 2006 13:30 (eighteen years ago) link

PvE or PvP server?

― Dan (Please Don't Say RP) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:46 (eighteen years ago) link

PvE non RP. RP scares me.

GOOD MAN

― Dan (Hold Onto That Feeling) Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 29 January 2006 01:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I logged onto my warrior on Friday just in time to see a gigantic exodus from the guild I'd joined! Apparently there was a gigantic amount of bitching and arguing going on in the website forum (which I never read) that led to the original founders of the guild deciding to disband the entire thing.

― Dan (Hahaha Oops) Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 29 January 2006 21:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha, my guild had a huge big fight that caused someone to leave over an argument about paladins being awful. I hope i never turn into that person.

― jeffrey (johnson), Monday, 30 January 2006 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I had a guild break up during one of my months off because the bossman was just being a paranoid loon, who responded to some people leaving by addding more and more, until the guild that was 80 turned into 200, mostly jackasses.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 01:01 (eighteen years ago) link

My coworker and I are considering jumping to a low population server and starting our own guild. I kind of don't want to do all of the attendant scheduling/websiting/foruming that people now associate with guilds, though.

Actually I need to interact with my new guild more, they seem to be much cooler than my old one.

― Dan (Stop Soloing Everything, Dan) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 14:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Can you move characters between servers?

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 14:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Sometimes they will open up character transfer from crowded servers to low population servers; recently they've blocked new character creation on my server for accounts who don't already have accounts there, so I'm guessing character transfer is only a few weeks away.

I wouldn't want to start over because a) I'd have no gold; b) I'd have to grind up through the 30s again and that SUCKED.

― Dan (Stranglethorn Vale, You Are NOT A Treat) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 14:49 (eighteen years ago) link

i miss sitting playing this all day long.

― jeffrey (johnson), Friday, 3 February 2006 22:09 (eighteen years ago) link

After tonight, my warrior will be level 56. I will finally be able to wear the entire Imperial Plate armor set that I've had stockpiled since level 51. WOOT.

― Dan (I AM UBER) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 3 February 2006 22:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Only do this if your guild name is entertaining and sophomoric enough

thank god for the time consumer that is WoW.

― jeffrey (johnson), Thursday, 9 February 2006 22:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Our former guild leader's wife left him because he spent too much time at the box. Last I checked, he had 150 days or so logged on his main character. That's like eight or ten hours a day every day since release. On average. Then we kicked him out of leadership for being a tyrant. So he left the guild I hope he doesn't kill himself :(

― Will M. (Will M.), Friday, 10 February 2006 13:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Woah. Okay, no starting a guild for me then.

ADE! If I roll a character on Dunemaul, should I go Horde or Alliance?

HORDE! we're all horde. the population balance is pretty good on this server too. the guild's just called CRYPT.

So close to level 40 with my orc hunter. Soon i will have a mount and life will be good.

― jeffrey (johnson), Friday, 17 February 2006 18:28 (eighteen years ago) link

MOUNTS ROOL

Ade, I will be rolling a toon on Dunemaul sometime next week! I will then completely neglect that toon so that I can push towards 60 with my toon on Deathwing.

― Dan (Just Being Honest Here) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 February 2006 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

It's ok dude, I keep promising to come back and then only end up playing like an hour a week.

― Milhouse is not a meme. But 'Milhouse is not a meme' IS a meme. (Adrian Langston, Sunday, 19 February 2006 23:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Woohoo!

I stayed up till 4am so i could hit level 40. It was a glorious day but i'm still 26 gold off a mount. TRUESHOT AURA though, now everybody loves me.

― jeffreyistired@work (johnson), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:31 (eighteen years ago) link

GO JEFFREY GO

My warrior is at 57 right now. I'm a little annoyed because I have to kill something like 300 firbolgs before I can turn in any quests at Timbermaw Hold and that grind will severely impact my ability to hop into higher-level instance runs so that I can start collecting the Valor armor set. I would do it tonight but I've got a stupid band rehearsal, argh.

― Dan (Grr Stupid Real Life) Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I stepped into Stratholme for the first time last night as part of a 5-man group. Holy shit, talk about your nightmare crowd control scenarios; I see why you'd need/want to do that as a raid group.

Oh, and HEY ADE

If you see a lowbie (ie,

― Dan (Level 10 And Rising) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 27 February 2006 14:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, doing any of them for the first time as a 5-man is suicide. Scholomance is even better for crowd control, every raid I've been in has died on the first room (and generally been fine afterwards).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 27 February 2006 14:11 (eighteen years ago) link

I just told my girlfriend that I was considering getting WoW and she told me in no uncertain terms that if I did, we were over.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 27 February 2006 19:48 (eighteen years ago) link

GODDAMMIT I hate the HTML checker.

I have a lvl 10 undead mage named Gaetar on Dunemaul. FIN

― Dan (Stupid Angle Bracket) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 27 February 2006 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

meh, don't play it, it's not good for you :'( I think i'd be pissed too, cept for the fact of the 60 rogue (undead female) , 60 warrior (night elf female) and 58 mage (undead Male) >_<
I had to quit. -_-

Someday i'm gonna call up my boyfriend (long-distance) who is currently hoarding the account and force him to sell it, and hand over the money. ;)

― Britta Jensen (Attirb), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:11 (eighteen years ago) link

This game ruins lives, I'm convinced of it. I had to go on sabbatical starting yesterday after yelling into Ventrilo that my guildmates were "fucking useless" and that "we won't beat the anubisath warriors if we don't change our strats."

Before this stupid game I probably hadn't played a game for more than 50 hours, ever. I think I've logged 800 in this thing. At least 60 of those were over the past 8-9 days.

I have SO MUCH FREE TIME NOW.

For a minute I thought you were conversing using Teamspeak while at work, which seems like the worst idea ever.

Will's vignette is the primary reason why I'm not going to get sucked into this dystopia of grind and spec.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 14:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm at level 31 and I'm getting that "why do I bother" feel - I didn't join a guild (I play too irregularly), I'm sick of quests ("Collect 15 centaur ears" - why? There'll just be 15 new Centaurs milling around when I'm done), and I love the battlegrounds, but going to a capital city, getting in a queue, milling around, finally getting bored and going back to somewhere that I can grind to the next level and then JUST as the bird lands getting called up for the battle - and then the battle lasts all of five minutes, either because nobody showed up to play the Horde side at Arathi or everybody showed up to slaughter us in Warsong Gulch - and I'm stuck at the dumb capital again, is getting tiring.

Just my two cents. I'll probably still subscribe 'til I make it to 60 though.
