You disappear if you're offline. Also you die all the time but you can resurrect with minimal penalties (ie, your gear gets beat up and you have to pay to get it repaired).

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Monday, 24 July 2006 12:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah right, so can you log out but still have your character travel to a point or do you have to be online for them to move from a to b. IF so, no wonder people lose so much time.

Are workshops hard to find? Would there be a risk that when you're killed your attacker can grab your gear?

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 09:22 (seventeen years ago) link

You can't travel while you're logged off. Logging off effectively removes you completely from the world and you come back in the spot where you last were.

People can't loot your gear when you get killed like they could in other online games.

If by "workshops" you mean "someone to fix your gear", it's usually pretty easy; any NPC selling armor or weapons can also fix your gear, plus if you take the engineering profession you can eventually make a repair robot that can fix your gear for you.

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Your ghost will appear next to a Spirit Guide in the nearest town when you die - you have a choice of going to find your body (with the penalties involved) or being resurrected there and then, which means your armor takes another battering (though there's usually someone around to fix it) and you feel ill for ~10 minutes.

Also the penalties only apply to death by monsters/the environment. If you're killed by other players, your armor is fine (though if it happens too often, there's a delay in resurrection). This is due to the dedicated PvP areas being a bit of a killathon, as you'd imagine.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 11:24 (seventeen years ago) link

The rez penalty gets applied regardless of who killed you, though.

Should we go into classes/professions or just link wowwiki?

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 12:50 (seventeen years ago) link

God no! Thanks for all the answers. I was only curious about travel and what happened when you died. Now all I want are images of things in the game that allow me to imagine this all! GIS be damned, it can't beat people who play the game trying to convince me how great it is/was!

100 foot tall egyptian things a must :) but I'll GIS those for now.

It's been a while, but I thought you didn't get rez sickness in Battlegrounds, which is what I meant to say.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, battlegrounds are different, yes; as far as world PvP is concerned, you still get TEH SICKIES.

Needle back in vein now - my old Horde guild managed (by dint of not splitting up) to become the biggest on the server in the year that I've been gone. They're having a recruitment drive "We're looking for 1 hunter and 2 warlocks, must be lvl 60, equipment up to Blackwing Lair spec", so it should be amusing to get in as a lvl 6 druid.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 28 July 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

anyone on malfurion by any chance?

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Friday, 28 July 2006 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm on Blackwing (Alliance), Suramar (Alliance), Elune (Alliance & Horde) and Dunemaul (Horde).

Since I last posted, one of our managers and the director of my group have started playing on my main server (which is DEATHwing, not BLACKwing, I don't know what I was thinking upthread).

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

the /lfg spam on Azshara is so bad (worse than barrens chat, seriously)

Dude, there's an addon that gets rid of that!

I don't play WoW, but my dad does, and this is his tale of discovering an 11 year old player in the midst of his guild:

'There had been this one guy everybody thought might have been a younger guy, and in the middle of this raid that was going all kinds of wrong, all these guys were posting "SHIT" and "DAMNIT", except this one kid, who basically outed himself as an 11 yr old the moment he yelled "FISH PASTE".'

(I imagine that will be a lot less funny to those of you who have never watched Spongebob. Whatever.)

Ha I joined an Irish guild and, get this............. I'm not actually Irish! Lol those suckers.

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

You swine! Andrew: Get on to the WoW authorities and have Darramouss removed.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 14 September 2006 10:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Also that Nickalicious story I found rather sweet.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 14 September 2006 10:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha me and WoW are one the outs again. My guild did have another Irishman, off of whom I learnt "I wouldn't get up on you to get over a wall", so it wasn't time entirely wasted.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:21 (seventeen years ago) link

*on the outs

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Blast! Someday your uppance shall come Darramouss...

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

that happens most days, on CS Sauce. Amirite, Darra?

Only when I'm busy defending kitty's ass while he plants the bomb or GOES THE SAME BLOODY WAY EACH ROUND and then get to spec him killing the players I've injured down to 2hp or something. :(

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I am totally giong to start shouting "FISH PASTE" as my curse of choice.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:36 (seventeen years ago) link

It does sound filthy somehow...

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Not that that would explain why you like it or anything... Um...

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that would explain PRECISELY why I like it!

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Thursday, 14 September 2006 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, that makes sense: Where the Fishpaste at?!!!

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/10/10/wow-fans-deconstruct-south-park/

some highlights:

While fighting the Renegade, Cartman uses Mocking Blow. This special attack meant to draw a hostile NPC's attention has little effect on a human controlled enemy. Dialogue hints that Cartman is a warrior, although when his screen is shown it is clear that he is actually a Rogue; which would make his weilding of a two-handed mace impossible.

Crushing an enemy's head into a bloody pulp as depicted in the final fight is impossible in the game.

I think they're more than happy with jacking off to their naked Night Elf Rougues tbh.
