Makes you wonder who else in the cast plays.
It got me thinking it might be fun to guess at what race/class each character plays if they all played WoW.
-
Sven's a Rogue ... maybe Hunter ... probably an blood elf.
And, yes, I should probably go shoot myself now.
-
I certainly don't see him playing a tanking Pally...
-
Raven never leaves Goldshire....
-
wow is for nerds
-
Raven never leaves Goldshire....
I don't get it... probably a good thing, since I don't play WoW.
-
I haven't played for 2 years and I get it... Unfortunately.
-
Raven never leaves Goldshire....
There are certainly worse places to be than Goldshire... lol
-
Pintsize I bet plays a eng-game raiding Warlock. Undead of course or gnome is he's alliance.

Yes ... yes it is ...
The town that gives me a purely juvenile giggle is Darnassus.

You want pure juvenile, try the Sons of Hodir daily quests.

Good Lord! Blowing Hodir's Horn, Polishing the Helm, Thrusting Hodir's Spear ... that's aside from the fact that Hodir sounds like joder, a Spanish word for fuck.
-
You learn something new everyday.
-
a Spanish word for fuck.
Notice she said 'a' Spanish word for fuck, not 'the' Spanish word for fuck.
Apparently there are dozens of ways to say fuck, depending on which way you mean it.
-
Is anyone gonna explain the Goldshire thing?
-
Goldshire is the town in the human start area that is the unofficial capital of "ERP". Erotic Role Playing. You see various female character in only their skivvies giving lap dances, and god only knows what's being said in the private messages. Raven would run across this scene on her first day in game, and... well... I'm guessing that she would end up as the richest level 5 character on the server. :mrgreen:
-
And this development of Goldshire by players is so universal and widespread across all of WoW that OFFICIAL LORE has actually been altered/created to reflect Goldshire's seedy nature. Which is hilarious because when the game lauched Goldshire was supposed to be this peaceful little hamlet.
-

reminds me of the guild name "Sapped girls cant say no"
ah im glad I quit. have actuall time to do stuff now. imagine that. :wink:
-

Is it a coincidence, or were there more "sapped girls cant say no" on servers other than Nefarian (EUde) ?

This is simultaneously the most disturbing/retarded/hilarious thing I've ever heard about WoW. I'm glad I've never played it. I just don't get the appeal. I wonder... why are all MMORPG's so similar (in a bad way)? You know, slow gameplay, repetitive quests, etcetera? If you take the online aspect away from it, no one would play it. Why not build an MMO around a game that's actually fun to play by yourself? Whatever. I don't really care that much.
As for the QC characters, I'm surprised that even Sven would play WoW, even while being depressed. I just never imagined any of them playing it.

@NeverQuiteGoth
I've done some searching now and didn't find any closer lore sources than wowwiki (http://www.wowwiki.com/Goldshire); nice info about the kids, but I didn't find anything more than "begun to call it 'Whoreshire' "... giev link plz? :roll:

Says the author of a webcomic that used to have copious Dune references.
I mean, I love Dune, but it's not exactly something you read while playing football and banging cheerleaders.
-
Actually, on the server I'm currently on, Goldshire's pretty quiet. Not so on my previous server. Of course, that was the server where someone once invited me to join a guild called "Show us your noobies" *shrug*

Reading a book while playing football is a bad idea, and reading a book while having sex with a cheerleader is just bad form. So you are right.

Pretty much the same on my server. Most of the idiocy happens in Trade Chat, so I just shut that off or avoid the major cities as much as possible. ;) And the Guild names vary from resonable to funny, but all in tasteful ways. No complaints.

WoW makes its money through subscriptions. The longer Blizzard can keep you playing, the more money they make.
That's why the gameplay is slow and the quests are repetitive; it keeps people playing for a long time, and thus increases Blizzard's proffits.

Never heard anything about any of this ever. Probably because it's easily possible to spend virtually no time in Goldshire whatsoever.

I read Dune and play football. Of course, I also hate mmorpgs, but that's besides the point.

...yeah.
Does this count as OCD/nitpicking? Because in my defense MMO is a widely accepted term used in place of saying "MMOG." It's easier to say. For instance, have you never heard everyone and their mother say something to the effect of "Hey dude, check out this new MMO I've been playing," or "This MMO is unbearably bad." It seems pretty unnecessary to call me out on that one.

Are you doing this on purpose? Oh, I see, you're confusing MMO with RPG. There's more online multiplayer games than RPGs, you know.
By the way, Sven's Twitter has comments on WoW for the first time in months. Comments, that is, not just on WoW.

I think what Dr Sas was doing was showing you that it's a MULTIPLAYER game. In other words, you can't play by yourself.

Actually, I was showing that point to Dr. Sas. Don't confuse me with that noob.

Try Guild Wars. No, I'm serious.
-
I've actually tried Guild Wars. Still not my cup of tea. I guess I'm just not meant for the MMORPG scene. I don't like the structure, they all seem bland and generic to me. I'll use MMORPG from now on to avoid the confusion and people harassing me (jk I know it's not mean-spirited). Honestly, I was using MMO interchangeably with MMORPG just because MMO is shorter, and I figured everyone would understand considering the context. I'm really just lazy is all. I didn't want to have to type an extra three letters!
In summary-
-MMORPG's are not for me.
-I do know the difference between MMO and MMORPG. I'm just lazy.
-I do know that saying "This MMO sucks" does not make sense grammatically if you expand the acronym.
-I hate you all
-I don't really hate you all :)
-It's 3:45 AM
-I'm going to bed.
-I love you.
-
MMORPG still refers to something that's multiplayer.
-
There's a NeverwinterNights MMORPG in the works so I hear.
-
Does that mean we're looking at the dawn of fun MMORPG's?
-
Try Guild Wars. No, I'm serious.
Theoretically, you can play GW largely by yourself, but once you get to certain quests having a party full of bots blows monkeys. The healer minion, who can resurrect anyone/everyone in your party, doesn't know to keep itself healed and/or out of the line of fire. It's frustrating. In WoW, it sucks not to have bots available, but it's not unusual to run in to someone trying to do the same quest out on the field and you can always look for a group in town.
I played GW for a long time and I've been playing WoW for a little bit now and, honestly, I like WoW better. I think my favorite was when I used to play RO, but they don't have the same level of graphics and most of the servers I played on usually started out great and went downhill until they died. It got old.
RO stands for Ragnarok Online.
-
MMORPG still refers to something that's multiplayer.
When I said, "Why not build an MMORPG around a game that's actually fun to play by yourself," I'm just talking about the gameplay. If the gameplay is something that I would not want to play single-player, why the hell should it be any different with lots of people? If I want to play an MMORPG, I do indeed want to play with other players, not just by myself. All I was saying is that MMORPGs rely mostly on the fact that it IS massively multiplayer. This should not be the only gameplay hook. Other than that, in my opinion, there is no reason that I would want to play it.
For instance, I enjoy playing most of the games of the Final Fantasy series. Most of you probably know that FFXI was the series' attempt at an MMORPG. It was terrible. If they had made the core game engine more similar to what made the games popular in the first place, it would have been more accessible and fun to play. That's really all I meant. Also, don't flame me if you hate Final Fantasy. I don't care, I do. I really feel dumb for having to explain myself so much. Sorry everyone.
Also, on an added note, Guild Wars is probably the MMORPG that I've had the most fun with. Like I said though, it was still repetitive and slow. I did get bored of it pretty fast. I never played Ragnarok Online, but I suppose it was pretty popular, as I've heard about it a lot. An MMORPG based off of Neverwinter Nights? Not sure how that would work out, but can't say I'm terribly excited for it. We'll see.
-
With RO you can do a lot solo. If you know how to handle aggressive mobs you can solo most dungeons and mid to low level bosses.
And the sprites are cute. :-D
-
I know there was an Alien MMOG in the works before the economy crumbled.
-
I'm glad I've never played it...I wonder... why are all MMORPG's so similar (in a bad way)?
Can you please tell us of this way you know that a game is like others in its genre without playing it?
Or have lots of towns in other MMO's turned from peaceful hamlets to places for female characters to dance for money?
-
I've actually spent more time than I'd like watching the game be played. My friends (who are brothers) used to play WoW all the time, so sometimes when we'd hang out, they would be in the middle of a quest when I went over to their place. I would just sit and watch them play while they wrapped it up before we went elsewhere to hang out. From what I saw of them playing, I was able to judge that it is indeed quite similar to most other MMORPG's that I had played before, and from there, further judged that I had no interest in it.
And actually in Guild Wars there are a few spots where masses of people get together to have dance parties. Some of it was ERP, but from the sounds of it, a lot more subdued than the aforementioned Gold Shire. I'm pretty sure that any MMORPG that has dancing actions is going to have some people do similar stuff in it. It's like... some weird online game rule. Or something.
-
Most of those dance parties happen pre-searing Ascalon. So basically Ascalon was a rocking club party before the Charr came and burned it all up.

Some guilds (like the one I was in) continued the dance party tradition to well after the Searing, and through the expansions. Though most of the time we kept it to the guild hall so we wouldn't corrupt poor innocent minds...
-
I stopped playing about 2 months ago. Was getting slightly bored.
Funny you guys talk about Goldshire, in my server Goldshire is where lvl 80 alliance meets up to duel, although now people are just dueling right outside the SW gate.
The naked ladies dancing for money is done on top of the mailbox in front of the bank in SW. :roll: Just gets me pissed when I'm trying to click on the mailbox to get my auctions, which is why I now have a toon with a guild sitting at the mailbox in Exodar, always empty to use the AH, always empty to mail stuff.
I see Pintzie as an undead warlock or perhaps a blood elf ... hmmm ... something. He probably did roll a DK to do arena though.
For me Sven would be a BE pally, dunno why.
Hanners rolled a gnome but she spends the entire day organizing her guild's bank. :laugh:
-
Sven and Marigold are in the same guild. They play on the Dark Iron (US) Server, and their guild leader is a rogue name Aquinas.
-

Oh, kind of like Second Life then? :lol:
-
When I first started I would dance all up on the NPCs. I would also strip off and dance on top of stuff. It was funny to me. It boggles my mind that people would pay someone to strip a toon down and dance.
-
I completely agree. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that too. I wonder who started this burgeoning capitalistic venture? How similar is this disturbing trend to real-life stripping? Do the "strippers" have their own pimps? Wait... do real-life strippers even have pimps, or are pimps solely for prostitutes? I don't even know. :?
-
A friend of mine removed clothing on stage while in University. He had an agent to book shows for him. Similar in concept the agent wasn't breaking the "living off the avails of prostitution" laws
-
I see. So, basically a pimp, just one that doesn't have to worry about getting arrested for being a pimp? In that case, I think I may become a WoW "agent." That'll be my contribution to this clearly awesome subculture!

Sven= Belf rouge... Couse were sexy and do it from behind
Pintsize = Belf mage.... mage's make more thing's go boom them lock
Raven= LvL 6 belf healer.... Prolly spending her time in the barren's *horde version of goldshire*
Faye(if she ever tried)= Prolly be eather human or belf and a Pally or warrior
Marten= Would prolly get bullied into being the healer
Dora... A undead lock couse she is spooky pant's like that...
Hanners.... Gnome... lvl 10 and is a perfeshnal gb orginizer...

pretty good, but Raven has nerd-potential, don't forget; she plays D&D. I think she'd go hunter.
Marten, totally the healer, and probably a druid.
Contrary to popular belief, not all goths play undead 'locks. And for some reason, I see marten and dora playing alliance.
I think Faye would be the undead 'lock, probably destruction spec.
I don't know what hanners would be but she'd win the auction house. :laugh:
-
Hmm, Yea i can see raven being a hunter...
But i really see faye beign a meelee and trying to kick some ass....
*zug life to mah hordies out der*
-
In terms of dirty guild names; i made a guild called Ebony Knights.
Google it if you want.

You were preempted, Sven is officially a mage, but since he's horde probably right about the belf part
http://twitter.com/svenbianchi
And Faye would be an Orc warrior, unless she's just in denial.
-
Intresting... But yea if he's not a belf that wouldent seem like him...
-
That game is becoming part of our culture more and more everyday. It starting to scare me.
-
Yea, But it's not to bad of a game.. I play leasuraly. But i do now people obsesivally addicted..
-
Jonsey, it's called Firefox. Has a spell-checker built into it.
-
The man speaks truth.
-
Yep, that sentence was painful. But I do get Jonsey's point. Too much of anything can be a bad thing. I may not understand WoW, and personally think its stupid, but a lot of people think it's fun. Some people are even obsessed with it. Personally, I try to stay clear of such addictions.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to do some heroin and strangle some hookers. You know, something productive.
-

Ok, Firefox hated my computer at first. So i had to format and factory reset after back up. But the spell checker is nice.

Haha you nailed Faye. Also if you do not get WoW, you are lucky. Cocaine is an easy habit to drop by comparison, I only managed to get out of WoW when my GMs gf slept with our 2nd in command and the entire guild disbanded while I was overseas for work. Thank. God. I'm 'self employed' and I basically didn't work for like a year. FML. So much fun though.
BTW if you play horde, look for 'Cannibal Corpse Interview Corpsegrinder Likes WoW'. Hilarious.

Just makin' a comment on an earlier post:
<Sapped Girls Can't Say No> was banned on my server. (The Underbog)
Other Rejected Guild/Arena Names:
<Third Leg of Thrall>

<New Orleans Swim Team>
<More HKs Than Hitler>

Obviously things along those lines are no-gos.

My God. I didn't even know this kind of thing happened. This is going to be the next big thing on Jerry Springer.

LOL. That's pretty funny, no offense.
I once had my own guild and it disbanded because majority of men in our guild were late 20s and early 30s... and we had a 15 year old girl in guild. When she got on Ventrilo... The men should have been arrested. I have NEVER heard such dirty language spoken to a child... and she prompted it. Needless to say, I was so disappointed and disgusted with those men, they were my officers (majority of 'em), and one was my second in command.
I packed up my guild bank and skipped out. After I left, guild fell apart and majority of 'em are now living on other servers. Haha.
-
My God. I didn't even know this kind of thing happened. This is going to be the next big thing on Jerry Springer.
Oh, trust me, that kind of thing really isn't unprecedented. I used to play on MUDs, the ancestor of today's MMORPGs and such shenanigans were even more common. You see, MUDs are home brewed contraptions ran by enthusiasts in their spare time. This means that it isn't unusual for some random college student or a bright high schooler to be running their own li'l fiefdom for the benefit of IRL friends and online buddies. So, basically, you have a World of Warcraft ran by someone with no real stake in making sure everything runs in an impartial manner and a very high probability that a core portion of the user base knows each other personally. Usually this just amounts to some favoritism and a few IRL arguments spilling into the digital world but in one memorable case a MUD I had played on for a year and a half suddenly disintegrated for reasons best described as "dorm drama."
-
There are just too many dark corners of the internet which I have yet to be made aware of. It's an incredible beast, truly.

Greatest guild name ever: <ONYXIA GIVES EPIC HEAD>
It lasted two weeks on my server until some no-fun GM came along.
-
I have played WoW. Even started my own guild... But by God did it get boring quick (I think i managed to get my human paly to lvl 34, and by that stage i was just going through the motions).
The only MMO i have ever TRUELY enjoyed was an MMORTS by the name of Mankind ( http://www.mankind.net/ ). I have been relyablely informed that the guild me and a mate of mine started in high school (Im class of 2002 btw) is still alive and kicking despite the fact that niether of us play any more. Now that was a fun game. Graphicaly it was like Homeworld, but you were on planets as well as in space.
