Seph Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'm thinking of buying this, I was wondering if anyone here has an account, and what Class I should be (I'm gonna be a night elf) and I thought I'd ask and at the same time bring the WOW Swampies together.

TiE23 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well, it's pretty fun and addicting, go to the Bronze Beard realm, we can play together or something, maybe give you some cash. *Hint-hint Nuge-nuge* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I don't play it personally, but a buddy of mine does, and I gotta say it sounds and looks pretty amazing. Very in deapth. Will steal your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Don't do it. On that game they don't let you log off if you haven't been on for at least 5 hours, and it has a daily fee of $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 If you want it to take over your life, then get it I have it and I love it. I'm a night elf warrior on the Malfurion server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight of Keno Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hmm... I don't get it. Some people want to buy a 40€ game with the word 'Warcraft' on it and then want to pay 25€ more every months just to keep playing. I would rather raise the 50€ from somewhere and buy Guild Wars. It has no monthly fees and for what I hear is just as good as WoW. Just to clarify so I don't cause a GW-VS-WoW flame war: This is a financial side of view. I have not played either of the games and it would be pretty much impossible with my computer. The prices are about what they are here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd_Annhilator Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Quite honestly its one of the least interesting and boring games I've played. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Guild Wars is definately a good choice if you don't have a lot of time and cash to waste on monthy fees a huge scam. Sure, GW isn't as large as WoW, but it has better graphics, and absolutely no spawn killing (which a lot of people like to do) since PvP is in arenas only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Don't do it. On that game they don't let you log off if you haven't been on for at least 5 hours, and it has a daily fee of $50. Bull****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikinor Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 You BSed a lot. It is simple. If you don't mind paying monthly fees, get WoW. I you do get GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt-Man Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Fantastic game, but I'd only be repeating what others said, so I'll answer your question: Night elves can be: Warriors, Druids, Pirests, Rogues and Hunters. Warriors: Simple, and very killy, not very good against a mage who knows what thier doing, but still a fun class. Druids: Complex, it is almost a multiclass seeing as it can shapeshift, may take a while to learn how to properly use one, but they are effective. Priests: Weak, but can deal alot of damage, I suggest only using a pirest if your a fan of hanging back and supporting team mates. Rogues: Weak, but like priests can deal alot of damage. The difference is rogues can't heal, and they can deal MORE damage than any other class except mage. Hunters: Very fun, for killing NPCs you jsut send in your pet and let him take the damage while you pump the thing full of arrows, good times, hard to PvP with, unless you know what you're doing. Thats the low down, hope it was some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I got bored of the game within two months. It's alright at first, but the grind is what kills it. Much like any MMORPG, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 What's cool, I got the game for $3. I played the first free month, and haven't told my parents that they are being charged $15 a month.... Heheheh.... I've got 174 hours on WoW, but I muss confess, my brother plays it more than I do. He has a lvl 31 human Paladin named Hornrune. He likes it a lot. Infact, last week, my brother played more video games than me. And that is saying something. I, on the other hand, have a lvl 23 and counting human warrior named Candara. It's pretty fun, infact, I feel like playing it right now, excuse me. P.S. My Xfire name is Zerstorer, so feel free to add me if you play WoW or BF2. Again, on Bronzebeard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yeah, my friend has it. He can't stop talking about it! From what he's told me, and from what I've seen, it's very interesting and seemingly enjoyable. But yeah, it'll consume your life. You’ll be playing it nonstop for months (any time spent away from it will be occupied partially by thinking about what you would be doing if you were playing it). I assume the buzz dies after a while. I think there’s a trial out somewhere: you could give it a spin and see if you like the game. If not, buy it only if you think you have enough time and money to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 There's a free 14 day trial via fileplanet. http://www.fileplanet.com/158404/150000/fileinfo/World-of-Warcraft-Trial-%5BCLOSED%5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightNinja Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'd try the trial, but i wouldnt play it, i played 4 years ago (uh time goes fast) Everquest and it consumed my life for 1 year and a half, is really adiccting, even if you are bored of playing it you will still play it all the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 It gets far too boring far too quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Sir Knight Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 It gets far too boring far too quick. I know alot of people that play and I've spent some time with it myself. I just don't like the combat I guess and all the questing against npc's. The battles aren't so much about your skill, rather all the stuff you pick up. In short, lots of standing around and in my oppinion, pedestrian quests wasted on npc's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Though I haven't had the chance to get a pet yet (or don't know where to get one, one of those), I think any class can get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt-Man Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 any class and race can get a non attacking pet yeah. Like I have a snake for one of my chars and a parrot for another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seph Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 this sucks, like disk four has an error 102, and now blizzard's making pay 10 dollars for new disks even though the disks didn't have installer data straight out of the box...
