WoW - Oh God Please Let Me Get A CE For Burning Crusade

[Wigwam]

i can't
it keeps getting stuck on Handshaking
and i'm going to start a new char, what and where should i?

[AChimp]

Blizzard fucked their servers today, and maintenance is tonight so they're probably not in a big hurry to fix the problem right now.

[DamnthatDavid]

New charachter, make it a horde on Laughing Skull.

[Dr. V]

These r cool.

laughing skull down

there's a 95% chance i'm getting this game after work this afternoon. would anyone like to give me some good pointers? i'm most interested in either gnome or undead, but i'm open to others. i'm also thinking a caster of some sort, but not totally stuck on the idea.
i'd like to do PVE at first, but then move to PVP... how many characters can i have per account?
the only MMORPG i've ever played is guild wars.
i've poked around online a bit and read a pretty good deal about the game. i just know i want to actually find an active guild that isn't totally lame (never found one on guild wars).

[ziggytrix]

i have some advice for you.

find a nice, outdoor hobby instead of wasting your time with this addictive, frustrating waste of money.

i know your frustration, it's hard to find a good guild
I'd say go with Undead Priest, the groups love you in PvE and with a Shadow Priest you'll own in PvP

[Dr. V]

Get on a pvp server, you'll be upset when you hit lvl 60 on a pve and cant kill anyone.

i would normally wholeheartedly agree, but it's november! it's about to get cold!!! i don't go outside when it's cold...

p.s. i bought it. about to install.

You can join us on Laughing Skull as Horde.

You're allowed to have up to 50 characters (maximum of 10 on a single server), as far as I know. They never delete your characters either. A PvP server can be frustrating at times when the little shits out there gank you endlessly, but in the end I think it's better because you can gank Alliance all you want when you're in the mood.

[Carnivore]

If you choose a pve server and choose to go Alliance, go with Elune and look for Thorandor.

I think my right-hand man actually started a Horde version of our guild. Do a /who on Lords of Stormwind for Alliance and Lords of Orgrimmar for Horde.

[Dr. V]

Don't you dare go pve if you know what's good for you.

[iron mitchell]

thanks for the help, folks.

after spending approximately 4 hours fucking around with my account verification, sending blizzard bitchy e-mails, and taking a break with "tetsuo: iron man" and some chink food i finally realized that i had my daddy's credit-card (shiiit, i ain't signing up for one of those things) number wrong.
so i just got on long enough to download the latest update and login to make sure it worked before hitting the sack. i'll be on throughout today, probably trying out a few different characters.
i plan on doing PVP, but i may do PVE at some point. or perhaps my girlfriend will if i don't. either way, we'll look for you, carnivore!

[AChimp]

Talk to Frassk or Nimon (my two characters), Makatiel or Volshurawitz if you go with PvP Horde on Laughing Skull.

Carni, you should move your guild to Laughing Skull, too. We need more Horde. :O

[iron mitchell]

i can't connect because this piece of shit can't "validate my game version, possibly due to corrupt files or the interference of another program".
i guess i'll wait 3 hours to call their little 1-800 number.

[the_dudefather]

the coolness available with mywarcraftstudio (no-one else can see it tho)

makes the normal paladin mount look a lot cooler :P ill probobly reset everything after an evening of messing about with the games models

edit: made a mod of sorts, which changes all the warlock pets:

imp: mini diablo
voidwalker: the beast (a bit smaller :P)
succubus: banshee
felhound: mini zergling

the mini diablo works quite well as an imp, as its got attacking animations and such

[Carnivore]

Carni, you should move your guild to Laughing Skull, too. We need more Horde. :O

My guild members respect and like me, but I don't think an "abandon all your level 60 characters, no more Molten Core or Onyxia, we're all moving to a new server now" command would be met with universal compliance.

[DamnthatDavid]

No harm in trying.

[AChimp]

I meant that if they want to start Horde characters at some point as alts.

[Immortal Goat]

I just got the game. Anybody wanna play with me?

[bigtimecow]

duuuuuuuuuuudes

i'm lvl 11 and i'm loving it (LMAO NEWB)

[iron mitchell]

well, i finally got WoW going late last night. i created a troll rogue on laughing skull and played around for about 15-30 minutes. i think i'm level 3.
i will return home from taking my g/f to work in approximately 30 minutes at whence point i shall play this game a whole lot today until around 3pm (central time). please let me know if you're on. my name is "Readyfreddie".
i'll be looking for you, chimp.

[bigtimecow]

add me

Bigtimecow

ill add you

[AChimp]

If I'm not on, you can do a "/who Mockery" and it'll show you a list of all the people in the guild who are online. Most of them will have invite powers.
