world of warcraft players

Here's the lowdown on WoW. It is not a game. It is a social network centered around the acquisition of items. This is what your game experience will be:

Visit NPC A. A will send you to B to kill X amount of boars or whatever until you've collected Y amount of stuff that A needs. Return to A to collect your shitty prize.

Visit NPC B. B will send you to a quest in a dungeon that requires you to be in a group to complete. When you've finally killed the boss someone in the group will ninja the loot that you wanted.

Repeat these two scenarios a million times until your toon is all decked out in the best gear available. Stand in your capital city wearing your best gear so newbs can laugh at the fact you obviously have no life. Realise that Blizzard have screwed your ass and cry real tears of rage and regret that you wasted literally days of your life getting purple gear that no-one else in the world gives a shit about

Delete WoW, emerge from your gaming cocoon into the harsh sunlight of the real world and thank the higher powers that you got out in time.

Rogues & Hunters are EZ mode

I desagree. Try playing a rogue or any other "timed" char on dialup, you find that you die quite often lol.

Anyways to OP: I have a 70 paladin healer on Baelgun and a 32 rogue. I quit before the expansion pack came out but i was constantly reading stuff while doing daily quests and flying ect.
First rule of any mmo: DONT BEG FOR GOLD
Can't stress that enough, if someone would ask me for directions or how to build a character, I would spend all day helping them, but the first hint of wanting free gold, and out the door they went.

#2 stick to gathering professions, aka mining/skinning/herbing and you'll find you always have more gold for what you need, and if you ever reset, getting back to 275 is a one day job and free, instead of resetting say blacksmithing or enchanting (easy 10,000g to max) and nobody will buy your low level stuff anyways (everyone mostly needs materials)

#3 melee is generally easier to play than magic based, till you get the hang of it, aka warrior is generally easier to solo quest till 40s than say, a priest. Comes down to raw hp's (or lack there of)

#4 You can quest from 1-70 (not sure after, quit before expansion) for free, only using quest items for your armor/weapons, you'll have to do some reading of which ones to do in what order, but after, its well worth it. I've read some people quest to 70 in 2 weeks, not buy a single item and have 3000-4000g from it all.

#5 Read the guilds website you want to join before joining it, it will do you no good to join a raiding guild if your new and only level 13, other than maybe a laugh in chat every so often. make sure they do low level content.

#6 Getting ran through instances is fun, and you rack up lots of loot, but make sure you go back and do a proper 5man suited for the instance to get the feel and not miss the things, ment to be experenced.

Most of all, just make some friends and do the goofy stuff that dosent get you anything. I used to wear overalls, wield a shovel and march around /spitting backer on the ground. I personally thing roleplaying is downright stupid, once you go to far, but acting a fool in a game, lets you not do it in the real world so I guess thats a plus.

Heres my 70 B-elf pally in some kickass outfits lol

The best thing about WoW I ever saw was some video of a rouge group that totally smashed and attacked a funeral procession of all these unarmed idiots, like thousands of fucking losers who were all in mourning over the passing of a player.

Lmfao. I should google it or look for it on yourtube....but then again...nah I don't care enough to be bothered either.


Iv seen the same video. I was in awe too. Apparently it caused so much commotion, the members of the guild wanted to get the rogue banned from the server. Hilarious...

I ain't no nerd. The guy that commented on being a nerd for playing WoW, clearly never played it long enough. WoW is a great way to kill time when you have the time to kill it.

IMHO everyone should simulate their own lives the way they wish. Whether it be in the cyber reality or the very reality we humans correspond. Everyone's too busy with making money and buying unnecessary merchandise to be gratified instantaneously.

So for those that haven't tried it. You don't even need a top of the line PC to run the game. In fact, you can even run it on a mac. The monthly subscription fee is on average a mere $15.

Shyla, Which server you playing on? I wouldn't mind rolling a new tune on your server and help you out.

Great game and graphics!

why do people always think gamers are nerds?

i invite you to check up the BLIZZCON videos from the last couple of years there are some pretty normal people and even the chicks are somewhat hot.

i started playing eq in 1999, yeah then it was kinda full of nerdy people but RPGs have come a LONG way.

so stuff it!

Cool thanks alot!
Awesome info!
I'm a night elf warrior and use melee.
I fish and do first aid right now.
Last night I decided to do mining and cooking also.
I wouldn't ask for gold btw, I've played mmorpgs before and know how hard it can be to come by if you have to work for it through farming ,quests, and killing monsters.
what I needed most was info on getting started and thanks for that!

A night elf warrior huh?

I spent over two years playing the warrior class, level 70 dwarf and level 80 orc, 80 troll hunter, 70 blood elf priest and 27 undead rogue.

Warrior class is kind of hard to level I'd suggest to put your talent points in the fury tree so you can kill mobs faster. Questing is the fastest way to level up, make sure you character is resting (inns or cities) everytime you log off.

Warrior has an arms tree, a fury and a protection.
In arms you carry a two-handed weapon, arms was considered for PVP purposes (player vs player), is ok for leveling but not as good as fury.

In fury you carry two one-handed weapons (dual wield), at higher levels you can equip two two-handed weapons, fury does the most DPS (damage per sec) in PVE (player versus environment) and at the moment many people uses it for PVP.

In protection you carry a shield and a one-handed, this was my main spec, is used for PVE mostly but you can do PVP too but is not as good as the other trees. For PVE questing is good cause you take very little damage and you don't lose time eating, you can take many mobs at the same time (3 or 5). For PVE dungeons (instances) 5, 10 or 25 man you are what they call the tank.

you can still carry the weapons you want with the spec you want but each tree was made to equip in a certain way.

The stats you are looking for a warrior are Strength and Stamina.
Strength increases your attack power so your damage and block value (the amount of damage your shield absorbs).
Stamina increases your hit points, most important for tanks.
Agility is ok to get too but not so important, agility gives you armor, dodge and your chance to score a critical hit.

Warrior have three stances, Battle stance, protection and berserker. They are used depending on the situation you are, if you are tanking use protection, you get this one at level 10, it reduces damage taken by 10% and increases your threat. Berserker stance is for damage, it increases your critital chance but you take 10% more damage. Battle stance is a balance between the other two.

Warriors wear mail from level 1 to 39, at 40 you can wear plate. Plate has the most armor among the others (cloth, leather, mail).

Wow, I should write a book...
Spent so much time playing that game, it was fun but abused it. You don't really get anything from it other than entertainment. I've found better things to do with my time.

Good luck in WoW and I hope this info helps.

lol at you, I threw away my trial cause i dont wanna waiste my life in such a important time.


Your a God damn Nerd, a waiste of life... Srry for being so mean

hunters are really fun, and good for soloing with if you are playing alone alot. i got to level 80 mostly soloing.

i disenchant and pick herbs. i sell what i disenchant and pick on the markets, that has made me a really rich dranaei.

my name is anahata, i'm on the shadow council server.

here is a video of me. :)

So I started the 10 day trial of wow and was hooked!
Great game and graphics!
For those of you that are wow players can you offer any suggestions, advice, and tips for a newbie on getting the best stats, equipment, and gold?
I'm level 12 now and mostly just questing.
