No, see, at that point it's not really an option because I'll no longer have the ability or liberty to play. I'm just trying to avoid paying $15 and wasting time on a character I probably won't get anywhere with just to play with you guys, and you're not helping! Hurrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Repent! Sell your account on ebay and get it ower with. WoW is never worth it. Think of all the fun you can have insted. Collecting pens or stamps, Walking through the neighbourhood watching the kids play (wow), doing stuff with your IRL friends (like drinking alcohol). Case closed, no WoW!

Tried starting out as a Tauren Warrior, but it didn't do much for me.  Warstomp + bandage doesn't work as well as I thought it would, so Bjorc's blood fury thinger is superior.  Still might play around with other race/class combos before I settle on one, though.  What level are people at at the moment?  I'm only 8, should I get a move on or what?

Well, I'm 15, stopped to take a little break to gather herbs to try and make massive amounts of money on the AH. Unfortunately, people keep undercutting my prices so I lowered them this morning, hope they'll pan out and so we can go ahead and have a tabard.

that's what i was planning on making. now i'm not so sure.
i still want a tauren though, because they are awesome.

also it shouldn't take me too long to catch up to you guys once i finally make an alt on your server because i can grind to about 15 or 20 really quickly. the challenge for me is getting to the higher level stuff.

When 3.02 came out I didn't notice much difference with my main mage, then I got round to playing on some of my other alt, rogue - fine, druid - nice, warlock - instantcast affliction, I'm happy. However they have completely screwed my hunter, rather than having a defensive pet only attack when you or it was attacked, now a defensive pet will charge out an attack your target when you shoot it... wtf. I found this out by walking up to a large pack of troggs, shooting the closest one to pull it away from the group only to have my wolf charge in thereby agroing all the other troggs, resulting in both it's and my death. The only time that this is a good thing is if you're just another dps in a raid, but if you're on pulling duty, or you're soloing this can never be a good thing so now I have to have my pet on passive all the time, meaning I have to micromanage it all the time. gah.

As far as the guild name and Tabard goes, I'll agree it was a bit surprising but pretty cool. You may have to wait, if you were hoping for me to be your main healer, as I have these pesky exams coming up, how annoying, don't they realise they get in the way of important things like wow.

On the subject of Tauren warrior's, I've just started one to replace my bloodelf hunter that I was playing with my friend, and I really like it, the extra health can only ever be a good thing on a tank, and warstomp is highly useful if you've over-pulled and want a head start on you're escape.

Yeah, I've managed to hit 27 in the midst of the zombie event, but frankly, people shouldn't have to have the same demented dedication to a video game that I do just to get by. I've pretty much given up on selling anything or hitting the auction house until this thing is over. Good thing I was already using a bank alt for everything anyway. Getting my skills trained can still be an adventure in itself though.

Anyone looking into being a tailor? I've got a 193 linen cloth laying around and the stuff sells so cheap now that I'd honestly just rather help someone out instead of selling it or making a Tailor/Enchanter alt just to convert it all into Strange Dust.

I don't know how many clothies we've got in the group (not many I think) but having a tailor around is always useful as they can make some decent bags but being a tailor wont really pay off until you get to grand master status whereupon you can make your own mounts in the form of magic carpets, which are only usable by tailors. I would take you up on the offer but my main is already a tailor so I want to try something different.

New patch killed my computer.
Had to uninstall, and reinstall.
Problem was I was lacking my disks and key due to a former friend.
Borrowed my managers, his disks failed (not to mention missing the key). Go to walmart to buy it, after reaching my car I notice the seals were broken. I check. No damn disks. Ninja's done got themz before I could.

The world....of warcraft is very against me at the moment.

Meh, it's not really our fault. I'd been on quite a bit, actually, (although, I was rather ill lately and didn't get on much over the last few days), and would be on now if the servers were you know, up. Also, it didn't help that Blizzard decided it'd be great if zombies were running killing Barrens quest givers. That was loads of fun.

They removed that little special "feature" due to many complaints, but last night my friends on vent were talking about Thrall and such dueling and then scourge over runs.
I liked it to be honest because for once I didn't see politics discussed in Trade, instead everyone was QQ'ing about teh zombies. Haha

This just isn't true, it had absolutely nothing to do with all the people complaining about it. The zombie plague was getting better and better (plague time getting shorter - zombies getting faster and stronger ect) and by day 5 they had reached 1 minute before zombification and all of about 5 argent healers in the entire world (of warcraft) where could they go from there? instant zombies? can you imagine how shit that would be? so they had left themselves with no choice but to cure the plague.

Gah, why must the server go down on the night I finish my exams damn it.

If only the realm forums were up I'd find that screenshot someone made of the conversation with a GM about it.

Blizzard had said it was going to be an on going event until WotLK was released. But whatev's. It's gone now.
To be honest, I'm petrified of zombies. My friends are interested in seeing how I'm going to play when the exp. comes out. Same way I did in eastern plaguelands... zoom allll the way out and cut the sound. >.>
