Anyone play this game? :wve:
I'm just downloading the trial version of it now. 10 days FREE or something like that. Is it any good, etc?

Its very good.
I warn you though. Its so addictive, it ruined my life one year ago. When my parents stopped me from playing I became really bad grades.
If you manage to have control over it though, its a very good gaming experience imo.
However, Burning crusade made everything 20 times boring, and they are soon releaseing another expansion pack. :(
I started playing it when it first came out in Europe, quit last November and pawned my account on eBay for £700 ! :)
I play WoW. Level 70 Orc Shaman on Venture Company realm.

I'm not very fond of it. A friend of mine got it and I hardley ever see him anymore, he's just obsessed with it. I realise that some people do just play it casually and thats fine, but others just get totally addicted.
I never played it, and I never quite feel like playing it. Reasons are because:
-My PC sucks, WoW will probably blow it up. :(
-It doesn't interest me. RuneScape seems more interesting. Even after that one crap update they released yesterday.

For some lovers of Warcraft III, like me, WoW ruined the Story, and if a player cares about the "bosses" like Illidan, Tyrande, Jaina or Balnazzar, then you should know that these same heroes were raised or killed in Warcraft III.
As for me, Story is important, and I don't understand that Balnazzard is killed in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne, and he now reappears alive in WOW.
Also, classes were messed, because now every race can almost have/be any class!

I have an account, but I don't play on it.
I recently got back into playing it again but I’m not addicted anymore. I have a Night Elf Huntress, Blood Elf Mage, Undead Rogue, Tauren Shaman, and Troll Mage all level 70, Emerald Dream.

You really shouldn't have bumped this for such a small question, if you are unsure about the fees you can check this http://www.wow-europe.com/en/legal/termsofpayment.html. More questions, opens another thread or SEARCH for information...
This thread should be close....
Jake Croft
12-01-09, 22:41
I didnt see the point in making a new thread either though
Also does anyone else here play?
just croft
12-01-09, 22:48
I did, and I payed 15€ per month in 3months payments. It looked like the best option, since you would pay more if it was just monthly, and 6 months would be too much if I ever stopped paying.
You can also buy pre-paid cards. ;)
And considering this thread is over a year old, it should be point enough not to bump it
I should think it's ok to bring this one back. It's still a relevant topic.
The thing about WoW is that you can have an ok time being casual, but it doesn't really get fun until you're all powerful. And that is what takes a considerable amount of time.
Jake Croft
12-01-09, 23:00
Ahhh :/
Like ive seen other games which are online but none of them really compare up to the standards of WoW
The fee's are quite costy though

I completly disagree. It was when I became all powerfull that the open wrold feel of it vanished and I started playing it more for the being even more powerful then for the fun of the world.

Yes, my advice is that you take wow lightly. Don't want to be a pro too soon...

Were you playing on a PVP or PVE realm?
For me the big fun happens when you are able to participate in Halaa, town raids and other world PVP activities.

PVP
When I started playing all I could say was: This is HUGE!!!!! and that feeling kept on going.... Until I reached 60, little after the Burning Crusade came and I got a taste of that same feeling but not for long again... once I got 70 it just became a repetitive cicle of farming something (instance or outdoor) to get something... :(

That's how you end up with several alts :D
All in all, I'd say its an enjoyable experience if you can keep yourself under control. I got my Hunter to 60 pre BC and my Shaman to 70 post BC, but quit playing before Lich King came out. I've wanted to pick it back up, but I know I shouldn't. Its too much of a life vacuum for me personally.

That was exactly what happened to me... If you want my advice, try to play or re-play some of the other Blizz games, WCIII or Diablo 2 for instance ;)
I've only played Wow a couple of times (each time for 8 hours straight) so feel free to kick me off here :p
I just want to see what most people choose...
Personally, I enjoy Blood Elf Mage. (usually Fire)
and you?
4 years of WoW this February for me =o

i started playing in december 2007 stopped last year, Lvl 70 warlock

Jake Croft
14-01-09, 17:08
Im planning buying it tomorrow with the two expansions
There is only two isnt there...?
Aka, world of warcraft, burning cruisade, wrath of the lich king?
I think im going to be blood elf iunno though

Sorry im asking too many questions ¬¬.

I would hold off on buying Lich King until you are positive you'll like it enough to keep playing.
It isn't hard to level at all. You can easily manage level 20 in less than a week. After that an average player will hit 1 level per day depending on their play style.
Jake Croft
14-01-09, 17:16
Ahhh cool :)
Oh its just that the both of them are like £8 each
And lich king is only £20 so i was gonna just buy them all
Should i buy the first and burning cruisade then and try lich king if i like it?

I avoid these kind of games :wve: I'd rather not be glued to a computer screen for my entire life.
I started playing again today... after unfreezing my account after almost a year. Bought The Burning Crusade just now... the download was suprisingly fast :wve:
Jake Croft
14-01-09, 17:35
What level are you survival :)
And when i start would you mind helping me out?
You dont have to, just wanted someone to help me out abit :)

10lvl for over a year now :p Yeah I haven´t been playing much because of my work :D.
I wouldn´t mind that at all... I´d be glad to help :tmb:
EDIT: My char is in Burning Blade realm :)
Oh and I strongly recommend waiting with Lich King... just buy the original + burning crusade :)
Jake Croft
14-01-09, 18:02
Yeahhh i will do :)
I know theyre only about £8 each in tesco
But i need buy a prepaid card so ima buy them from game xD
i played for about 1 hour, got **** bored of it and never played again, i think i hate games like that

14-01-09, 18:10
I need some serious help into getting this game to addict me. I played it and it is to me just some RPG game where you and your buddies team up to protect your tribe and defeat and slay the others.
How on earth can I make the most out of WoW? It never addicted me yet! :hea:
I´m not addicted either.. I have no problem playing just for 10 mins in year so that speaks for itself :p. It depends on my mood... there are times I want to spent some time in WoW to kill time or just to have fun. I help weaker players a lot (helaing, protection that kind of stuff).
Jake Croft
14-01-09, 19:10
It all sounds confusing to me
But im sure ill get used to the slang aha :)
Just upgraded to Lich King -.- I am so weak :p
Jake Croft
15-01-09, 13:55
I got a good offer :)
WoW and Burning cruisade, plus the strategy guides for them both £20 from gamestation :)
Oh and i bought a 60 day prepaid card :D
After two years, I'm still just as addicted to this game as when I first started playing.
And I just LOVE the fact that they implemented achievements. I'm trying to collect all of them. XD I about drove everyone crazy trying to get the one for having 50 pets and getting the free skunk pet, Stinker.

15-01-09, 23:48
Ive installed WoW, i tried installing burning crusade... i installed WOTLK but BC is taking me forever, its been installing for hours and my nets fast... its just taking me forever and its not even past 10% or upto patching
Just wait until you start patching. :cln:
Anytime I've installed WoW + BC it's been a 10 hour affair. And I have respectable internet speed too.
Jake Croft
15-01-09, 23:56
Jeez :|!
WoW + WOTLK install so easily compared to BC
On the installer it says 10% but theres loads more thats shaded ¬¬. so i dont understand
Plus im upto 1GB out of 2.5GB so i should be on atleast 30% or something :confused:
I don't know what it is. Whether Blizzards P2P system is lacking or their compression methods are lacking. Something makes the process slower than it should be.
Jake Croft
15-01-09, 23:58
Prrp, i was hoping to play it tonight aswell :/
Looks like ima have to watch other people play it until tomorrow night :(
Yeah you're basically short of luck there pal. WoW is a commitment before you even get to play it.
Jake Croft
16-01-09, 00:00
Youre kidding me :)
If only BC was as easy as the other two to install
Tbh id of thought Blizzard would of fixed this by now
Ive had a look around and theres plenty of people complaining about it :|
Did you get a disc version of BC or the digital upgrade?
Jake Croft
16-01-09, 00:05
Disc version
Is the digital upgrade faster?
No the disc version should be the fastest. I can't imagine why its taking you so long.
Jake Croft
16-01-09, 04:36
Ahhh i fell asleep and it sorted itself out :)
Which disc would i play off now for a new character...
The original wow, bc or wotlk?
You do not need discs for WoW.
I downloaded the 10 day trial and it was "okay" but I didn't have the time or patience to play it and get to be level 70.
So I quit playing it and did more constructive things. (Like playing Tomb Raider) :) ;) :D
Jake Croft
16-01-09, 04:55
Thank you :D
I can finally play now :o
BC is actually faster when bought online. Because part of that update when you first install WoW and start patching is actually all BC data you need :). The instalation from disc was basically pointless :).
Also you should download some usefull addons... I strongly recommend "questhelper" :)
Jake Croft
16-01-09, 07:39
Yeahhh i have questhelper and sexymap :)
Im level 6 now but im way too tired to play anymore
God dam me dying so much ¬¬.
I hate attempting to find my body
Is it good or bad that I went form Lvl 1-13 in 8hours? :p
First time playing mind you. at 3am :rolleyes:
I depends :p I went from LVL 1 to 10 in year and half ;) :D

Jake Croft
16-01-09, 18:44
Aha you beat me, im only level 6 :o
Im still in the same place as i started because im tryna do all the quests
Is that recommended or should i try get the hell out of it as soon as possible?
Also what level would you suggest leaving the area at? :)
Generally you're going to be in your starting spot till level 6ish, then you get quests to move onto the next town over till maybe level 10ish.
Jake Croft
16-01-09, 18:55
Oh no i mean the basic place
Its like a fraction of the map where you start
Im a night elf so i started at the nightelf place
I mean until i get out of there and into well... the big wide world of warcraft xD
(excuse my bad attempt at making my sentence sound good at the end)
Oh. You're going to end up heading to Auberdine which is on Kalimdore at about level 12. First you head to the city of Darnasuss, go through a portal which takes you to the coast, and then you take a boat to Auberdine. :)
Jake Croft
16-01-09, 21:03
Ahh well im halfway there :)
Just seen three girls as part of a quest on sabers xD
I was expecting to get on one, clearly didnt

You can get mounts at level 30.

About half my class plays WoW, and pretty much everyone says that Wotlk is so easy it's not even rewarding anymore. You can PuG everything. Is this true?

Not very different from when I played.
Only times we won was when I was in a premade with my guild, or when BG's were from 21-30. Being a level 30 druid made it impossible for horde to take me.
The memories.. :D
Too bad TBC ruined everything for me. I switched to WAR after that.
I really really miss AV when 60 was the cap. :( It was a lot more fun back then. Ah the 6 hours AV games :cln:

I play as a Draenei paladin, RP way. It brings something more to the game, something that was missing from Guild Wars, which I played before. Still, neither of the "locations" (meaning Azeroth, Outland, Northrend) is of the scale I witnessed in GW: Factions Cantha.
On the other hand, the longer of the quest lines are simply keeping me at the game. I am really looking forward what will the Blizzard come up with with the introduction of Icecrow Citadel instance/s. I hope it won't be just "go and kill the Lich King" quest. As far as my opinion goes, the Burning Crusade is better than the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. All in all, I like some of the things that WotLK introduced, but I would see it as a somewhat larger "Fury of the Sunwell" patch, to be honest.
Deleted my DK.. feel ashamed to of level'd one to 80 :(
Gone back to my paladin :p 78! :O

A few things have changed

What server are you on?
I could do with a couple of friends
That patch ate up almost all of my memory the other day.
Currently working on getting Revered with Sons of the Hodir for the Ice Mammoth mount. D: I will have it!
well.... I would if I didn't get distracted from the dailies everytime a female Draenei went by me....
....I tend to stalk them.
Jake Croft
25-01-09, 18:02
It didnt eat much of mine up tbh
The amount of time the burning crusade took to install was ridiculous
Definitely worth it in the end though :)
Another new update today
Does anyone know what it was for?
Ok, I just downloaded the free trial last night because of a couple of guys from work were talking about it. I made an undead mage character called Julane. My friend from work plays in the Thorium Botherhood realm..if anyone wants to, say hello. I am still new and kind of shy, but I'd like to meet people. :)
Jake Croft
02-09-09, 16:12
Sorry to drag up an old thread, seemed pointless of me making a new one...
Im thinking of making a new account with a new account with a new email but ive been told that i wont be able to register my games again, so it wont count as me having the expantions unless i buy them again, is this true or will the expantions work on the new account?
Minty Mouth
02-09-09, 16:29
Im pretty sure you ca make as many accounts as you like, as long as you pay for all of them. And you can use the Same Game client, so you wont need to re buy the expansions.
Jake Croft
02-09-09, 16:32
Ahh thanks, cause i thought you had to register the games to the accounts and i was thinking hmm that only works once :/ im only doing it so i can get triple xp cause i take forever to level up ¬¬
just croft
02-09-09, 16:41
I don't know exactly what you mean buy I'll try to explain the doubt I think you're having:
One copy of the game/expansion per account!
How many copies of the expansion are needed for players with multiple accounts?
You need one copy of the expansion for every World of Warcraft account that you wish to upgrade.
If you buy, (for example) The Burning Crusade, you will get the cd's to install the game on your pc + a code to make your account able to play TBC.
You can use the cd's as many times as you want to install the expansion but the code can only be used once.
If you want to have another account with TBC installed you'll have to get another copy of The Burning Crusade
Jake Croft
02-09-09, 16:43
Ahh i get you, i thought it was like Minty Mouth said aslong as you use the same client you could make as many accounts as you wanted and it counted you as having them added onto that.
Minty Mouth
