World of Warcraft

I have just purchased this game, but have not played it yet. Does anybody have any advice or general comments on the game?

Re: World of Warcraft

General comment ? Addictive...

Advice ? What sort ? That's one of the easiest MMORPG I've ever played in terms of manipulation.
Have mercy for a little gnome named Cuddy, I haven't much time to upleveling her yet.
Personnally, I've found the Undead ones quite boring, but love the Gnomes (said Cuddy), Humans (Alioftheknife) and Elves (Angua). Other players I know are partial to Gnomes, Orcs, Dwarves and they seems to prefer the Paladin Class. For a newbie, a long range class (Magus, Demonist or Druid) is more effective as you can launch several attacks on your prey before it respond. As a demonist or an hunter, get quickly a familiar, you'll be able to fight several attackers at the same tme more easily.

And finally, get to alliance or hord territory before quitting the game, you'll have XP bonuses getting inot after.

Re: World of Warcraft

I reckon I had more fun.

Me: It's broken
QA Guy: What's wrong with it, have you got a condump?
Me: Dunno, it crashes when I use this script, and no...I used to but the doctor gave me a cream and it's better now.
QA Guy: Tsuji, you're not meant to use that, it's from Beta 1, and you're also not funny.
Me: Ah....so we know at least one flaw with it then.
QA Guy: Why are you on the test team?
Me: I have no life and it's entertaining...Why are you in QA?

and so the day would drag on

Re: World of Warcraft

I have been hearing about the newest generation of Warcraft everywhere! I have a feeling I missing something rather special.

I am wondering if any of you feel it would be worthwhile to have a sticky post on this board where people can post their usernames on Warcraft so members of Chronicles could play together (is clans still formed?).

If chatters here like the idea, I will do it promptly.

Re: World of Warcraft

Clans and guilds yes, but You have to be on the same server, which basically means European members won't be able to play with US or Asian ones.
Other things, if you play one of the Alliance race you can't form a guild with Hord race (although a player can have both characters at the same time).

Re: World of Warcraft

Interesting, Leto. I am wondering if there is enough Warcraft users here to start a Chronicles guild. If there is a need, an American branch of the guild could be created, but, by the looks of things, an European guild would do just fine. This idea is something I would like to present to Brian and get approved after I gauge the interest in the notion.

[Edit: If anyone believes that a different game would be more successful in relation to a guild forming, please speak up!]

Re: World of Warcraft

I saw copies in PC World and was intrigued - but too much work as it is to get it.

If you want to form a Warcraft clan or similar then I'm sure we could look to open a new board within gaming for that.
