Well, would we prefer a PvE or PvP server? Low or Medium population?

Also, what classes would everyone like?

I'd prefer PvE; I've done the PvP thing and wasn't really impressed. If we go alliance I'll probably be a human rogue warrior or warlock. Expertise+Diplomacy= Win. Horde, probably a warlock or a paladin. Maybe blood elf? I don't know. None of the horde races have ever really done anything for me, other than tauren. At least Draenei get +1 to hit. God knows I'll end up looking to raid at some point eventually anyway, so how much anyone should ever plan around me is up in the air.

At this point in the game with the way Battlegrounds are played I'm just as happy to play a PvE server, especially if its just a fun little side thing. I've never geared nor specced myself for PvP either so getting ganked out in the great wide open would be pointless. And then if we really wanted to get the competitive spirit since BGs are cross-server it shouldn't be that bad.

PvE sounds good to me. It's not like it removes the opportunity to Raid and all, just means we can quest in peace if we wish.

Looks like there are no low pop PvE servers at all, but there are plenty of mediums. I've already got characters on Elune, so I'd prefer a separate server just to keep things interesting and not be tempted to just send all of my gold to the new character.

Khaz Modan maybe? Not sure which ones that aren't high population that have decent arena (assuming anyone is interested in it) and all that jazz.

Character wise, I think I'd like to roll Wizard this time.

God damnit I'm just gonna go ahead and restart my account now and look through servers, after the mega patch I suppose I'll check out working on my mage's new talents, there are some pretty nifty new ones in frost that sound appealing, though I might actually try another specc for once. Would certainly take some getting used to.

I still have absolutely zero interest in the Draanei.

What?

Gift of Naru and an always on +1% chance to hit buff for you and all team members.

Plus Draenai have got far more interesting starting zone quests than any other alliance race.


Assuming this is being done on American servers, rather than European I'll create a character for the QC guild, unlikely that he'll be very active, but still fun.
just to confirm: Horde on Khaz Modarn?

Alliance never really had much on horde in terms of pvp racials though, really. Perception and escape artist are kinda nice but the NEs got kind of boned on that end, at least compared to WotF, War Stomp and Stun Resistance, anyway.

I'd be up for this QC guild thing. I'd probably roll another rogue, just because i'm so used to playing one. As for horde v. alliance and pvp v. pve, it doesn't matter in the slightest to me.

Oh, and we're talking US servers, right?

Honestly, I think orcs and trolls are both better than blood elves as casters, at least from a PvE perspective. I mean, the silence thing is kinda nice, but trolls can get an on command haste buff and orcs get both stun resistance, increased pet damage and Blood Fury, which is good for a 143 spell power for 15 seconds at 70, which is pretty nifty for warlocks. I just can't stand how non-taurens look, mostly. I play male characters and they all run around slouching like idiots.

I actually think most of the horde looks better than the alliance, I mean, dwarves look cool and Night elves are okay, but Horde characters all have more, well, character to them than blank-faced humans or the just plain wierd tentacle rape Dranei. Orcs faces are battle-scarred and fierce, trolls got the face-paint thing and the tusks going on and undead are, well, rotting corpses that mosh.

Gonna try to figure out if I want to play another Warrior or if I want to give Rogue or a Mage another go (I've played both before and enjoyed them)

One of the things that influences my liking of a race is their hight, or rather lack thereof. Because when you're running along with giant a Tauren or Draenei taking huge strides you feel like you're going much slower than the dwarf or gnome despite the fact that they're going at the same speed, because the shorties have to move their legs just that much faster, makes me feel like I'm actually going somewhere with purpose. However this isn't enough to stop me liking my Draenei Mage main (now lvl 48) because the big blue dudes are just cool, as long as you avoid the faces that are too tentacle-y. 

Oh, and I'm a Forsaken Priest called Axerton cos I couldn't be bothered being original.

I have a bit of a problem with just going with Questionable Content as the guild name. I mean, first off, I love originality in names, and Questionable Content is the easy boring route. Remember tribal wars? And also its not as if this guild would be associated with the comic or Jeph Jaques at all, and I don't feel comfortable putting his brand name on something that he has no idea is being made (I assume). So here are a couple ideas spun by me and Whipstitch.

to get it out of the way, Furious Dickings*
Get In the Van
Salty Dogs
For the Love of Pirates
to take a leaf out of Mercenary Schlock**, Tagon's Toughs or alternatively something like that using alliteration off of the guild leaders' name. Speaking of Which who is the guild leader?

If we can get enough people to make a guild then it's obviously not going to be an official QC guild, just a QC forums-affiliated guild, hopefully with more of a slant toward the I LIKE FISH crowd than the General Discussion mob.  We could always call it "I LIKE FISH", but I am not sure if people associate that with this forum or not.

re: the guild leader, it should probably be a US person with an intent on playing on the server as their primary server.  Seems like a few people are making alts on Khaz Modan, but if there's anyone with intent to mainly play on the server they'd probably be better suited, as they can carry on the guild even if forum people come and go.

Why not "I like Hurr" or "I like ... hurr" or something of that nature.

Also if we want to get all the cool guild stuff - Tabard, bank and so on so forth apparently they are fifteen types of expensive, so maybe we all have gathering skills for the moment so that we can pool our money and afford it, I would suggest herbalism at this time, just because inscription has driven the price of all herbs, but especially low level ones through the roof.

How about "The Seventh Dick?"

Otherwise, I vote for Get In the Van.

I'm still trying to decide what I want to go with for this. On the one hand, I do so love Druid. On the other, I really should explore other options for the sake of variety. I'm thinking maybe an Orc/Troll Rogue (I get most of my Druid enjoyment out of my cat form anyway) or maybe just a slight variation and go Restoration or Balance Druid. I'm leaning Balance Druid just for the sake of self sufficiency when soloing. Just so long as I can avoid the douchier races like Blood Elves (I still wish I'd waited until actually dealing with Blood Elves before choosing Blood Elf over Troll for my hunter) and Undead.
