need to know about NAMES
by jdclyde · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
In effect, what you are creating would in other games be called a “clan”, but I don’t know if that idea transfers into WoW or not. Does it?
If it does, is there a naming convention we should be thinking about BEFORE we all create accounts and characters?
What line of thinking do you follow for your naming? In D2, I have been using this as part of my venting process to redirect negative feelings for my ex-wife, by creating characters names “BuryHerAlive”, “MaimNquarterHer”, “BetRoffAlone”, (you get the picture.) I don’t think I will carry this naming convention over to Wow (for some reason). A new convention will need to be constructed to takes it’s place, and it should be one that fits in with the people of the Clan.
What say you?

Clans = Guilds
by wdmail · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to need to know about NAMES
A character can start a guild that others join. I think they have a limited time to populate it with people. Not sure the number….10 maybe.
Upon entering the guild, you will have another chat tab specifically for that group.
Typically, the guild is a group of people with similar goals in the game or just friends that want to be in the same “family”.

Horde or Alliance?
by Bill Detwiler · about 17 years, 11 months ago

If we haven’t decided on a side, I cast my vote for Horde. I have never played a Horde character and would like to try an undead rouge.

Someone make a decision on this
by jdclyde · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Horde or Alliance?
because I have a lot of reading to do on races and characters, and I would hate to read the wrong one!
Having never done either, I have no preference one way or the other on this.
Is this kind of like the difference between lawful-good and chaotic-evil?
Does this also affect the types of quests you get?
Oh yeah, I have read several references here and on-line about “tanks”. I assume this is a specific style of fighter, but what defines a tank?
Another question. The experienced here should state what they are going to be, and then in turn guide the noobs to fill positions that are lacking to make a more rounded group.
I don’t see a first character being a caster of any kind though, but I did see for skills of fighters, potions, armory, hunting and two others. how big of a deal is this?
Will get to the store tomorrow to pick up the game.

Clarification and vote for Horde
by jmgarvin · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Someone make a decision on this
Neither side is really “good” or “bad.”
Break down:
Alliance:
Night Elf – In tune with nature and quick on their feet…good with magic
Human – Jack of all trades, good with swords and maces.
Dwarf – Stocky and strong. Good with guns and axes
Gnome – Pointless race…they all should dieHorde:
Tauren – Think Native American. They can stomp and stun bad guys. Good with two handed weapons and magic
Orc – Strong and good with axes
Undead – Better at resisting shadow damage…jack of all trades
Trolls – Good with bows and can regenerate health.Tanks are usually warriors…an “off” tank is a Paladin or a shaman. A tank is any PC that can run into melee range and not die a quick and horrible death 😉
As for class:
I think I’ll make a Tauren Druid. That is a healer than can change form. If we don’t get a priest vote, I’ll make one of them 😉My name will be Cervisia.
As for picking up trade skills, we should worry about that later.
Sounds good!

gender and race
by jdclyde · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
a few quick words on gender and race?
on a lot of xbox fighter games, I often take the female characters because they are quicker and land in the hits before many of the more powerful characters can land a hit. Is that true for WoW, especially in the case of a fighter?
race, bonuses and minuses for race? Just a few words of wisdom on general things to watch for. On-line is pretty general about a lot of that, and won’t have a book to read until tomorrow night after the install is done.
Oh yeah, is there a limit to how many characters you can currently have at a time?

to be a royal pain in the arse! 😀
Years of D&D, and then Diablo2, give me an idea of what goes into the creation of a character. It is a matter of making the translation. If I was playing alone I would just freely make lots of mistakes and learn from them. When playing with others that will be depending on you to hold up your end, there is more pressure to do it right.
I will want to make a mage, but want to get the “lay of the land” on how game play goes first.
How does the time frame fit for you WAY over there Shell? I can see planning a weekend day as well so people from all over can make some of the sessions!
I still play D2 a lot, because it is fun to try to come up with new combinations, but it is not nearly as flexable as this is, so I see this as a good change. Not to mention, garvin had me hooked on the idea ever since he said he is running it under linux. First step, get it running. Second step, create a linux desktop to also run it on. Gives me a direction for my linux desktop.

Most humanlike
by wdmail · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to attractive
Toren – cow like appearance…literally. Kinda cuddly though. 🙂
Undead – sections of flesh are missing. I try not to look at these very closely.
Orc – Ehh…partially humanoid looks. Not terrible.
Troll – They have the least distortion from human appearance.When you get to the screen to create a character, you can see what they all look like. Some classes are race dependant though. For example, only Toren’s can be a druid.
I would read about the class before choosing a “skin”. Ultimately, you have to determine what sort of role in a group setting you’d like to play.
Maybe another thread should be started discussing what classes are needed.

In reply to gender and race
It doesn’t matter what gender you all, they are both the same.
Races are pretty general…you mostly only have differences in basic starting weapons and some passive traits. There are some active traits like stomp for Tauren (stun the enemy for 2 sec) or stone form for dwarves (cleanse your body of all poison effect)…etc…However, it doesn’t make THAT much of a difference what race you are.
You can (as far as I know) as many characters as you’d like. However, I think the cap is 5 per server…

I need to get the game tonight, and make a few practice characters just to go through the process. I am sure I will have more questions after making a few practice characters. I assume they are easy to delete if you choose to get rid of old characters?
Question, how do we initially find each other? I assume there is some kind of friend list?
I would think we would need to know what Key Keepers account is and center around that to get started?

Choose the class that fits your style and a name that fits the character
by Bill Detwiler · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to gender and race
As jmgarvin stated, gender really doesn’t impact gameplay–only apperance. Each race’s passive traits can make that race more apt at a specific class (warrior, mage, warlock, rogue, priest, paladin, shaman, hunter, etc.). For example, Undead (Horde) and Gnomes (Alliance) make particullarly good warlocks. Each have passive traits that benefit a warlock. This doesn’t mean that you can’t be successful as a human warlock–my main is a human warlock.
Web sites like Gamespot, Thottbot, and Allakhazam all have links to good character/class guides. You can also google yourself plenty of information.
More important than race is class. Pick a style that fits the experience you want to have. Do you want to do small amounts of ranged damage while a pet “tanks” (does melee damage)? If so, a hunter or warlock are probably you class of choice. If you prefer to wade into content swords and axes swinging, then goes with a warrior. If you want to do lots of ranged or area of effect (AOE) damage a mage could be you best bet. And if you want to play a critical support role choose a priest.
Just remember that each class has positives and negatives. Mages can cause a lot of spell damage but are useless in melee combat. I really comes down to personal choice.
As for number of characters, you can have a maximum of 10 characters at any one time. I’m not sure if there’s a limit on any one given server.
As for names, I always like choosing a name that fits the character. For example, my warlock is named Maero–Latin for sorrow. My paladin is named Thaddeaus–Latin for courageous.

I certainly didn’t expect to find a discussion regarding WoW here.
WoW is my current diversion. Used to be SWG. Judging from the OPs avatar, he’s probably been there.
What are the requisites for joining you guys on Duskwood?
Have you considered a PvP server? You can avoid PvP through about level 25, by staying in “Horde Territory”. It adds a lot more excitement to the game, and wouldn’t be much of an issue when traveling in a group.

Meeting and names

First, I think we can safely say any member on TechRepublic is welcome. And just about anyone beyond TechRepublic too.
Second, once you know someone’s name you can add them to your friends list – that way you’ll know who is on. We’ll have to make it to a capitol city to form the guild. A guild gets its own chat channel – where we can talk amongst ourselves.
It’s 10 characters per server – I encourage experimenting – I like the Warlock so that is what I’ll be. My brother is a Hunter – his best character choice.
Look for:
Elkwinkarma – Undead Warlock
Dozark – Orc HunterSee you in game.

razzor, a big furry brute of a fighter! 😀
I just ran around and bumped into a lot of walls.
Friend list, that goes by ACCOUNT name, not character name, right?
You guessed it, my account name is jdclyde.
From reading up on exp distribution, are we all going to start with new characters for this so the high lvl characters don’t suck up most of the exp?
Question. Found a shield and it said I couldn’t use this yet. I tried right-clicking on the shield to try to see what it is that is required to use, but didn’t see anything. How do I determine what the requirements are?
I also have yet to find the dude to sell things too so I can get some gold, and get a second backpack or two. It is full of eggs, feathers and claws. If they are available to loot off bodies, I assume you can use or sell them?
Also, will we be using the “round-robin” loot method?

Friends list and looting
by Bill Detwiler · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Got live last night
Your friends list will key off each character’s name–as the same account could have multiple characters.
It will take you a while to get even a single gold coin–unless someone sends you one. You’ll still be earning silver until your 40s and 50s for missions, however you can easily make more money be selling stuff in a capital city auction house (AH) or to vendors (NPCs who sell stuff). Vendors will always give you much less than you can get at the AH, but not all items, particullarly low-lvl ites, will sell in the AH.
Looting is only an issue in groups. Most looting is set to uncommon–if I remember correctly. Anyone can loot common items on a round robin basis. If a blue item comes up the members of the party must roll for the item. The game randomly generates a number of each character and the item goes to the character with the highest roll (1-100). Once you get into a group the group leader will configure and alert the other group members to the looting rules for that group.

Friends is populated by character names – add Elkwinkarma to it and you’ll see me next time we are on at the same time.
We are starting with new characters – my brother (Dozark) and I have started our characters a little early so we can show you guys around – you’ll level up in no time and then we can group.
I assume since you are fury, you are a Tauren. Look for the general goods vendor – you can sell to her. She’s in the initial camp.
More bags are diserable, but not easy to come by until later. Elkwinkarma is a tailor – I hope to be making bags for the guild soon.

Looting Low down
by jmgarvin · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Got live last night
Ok, so you typically work round robin. Money is always shared equally (the game rounds up usually). If there is only 1 copper, then EVERYONE gets 1 copper.
For items that are green, blue, purple, or orange, you have to roll.
There is need: I need this item and I could use it.
There is greed: I might need this item, but someone else might need it
There is pass: I don’t need or want this itemIt is considered good form to pass on all bind on equip items. Then roll for the BoP item after everyone has passed. The reasoning behind this is that people can (and sometimes do) abuse the need/greed system…
The friends list goes by character name…
The shield, on mouse over, should have a list of stats on it, including level. Some character classes can’t use shields and some races have to train in shields. You’ll have to find a major city (Ogrimmar or the Undercity) and find a weapons trainer.

I don’t know much about how the Horde world works but I assume it’s pretty much the same as Alliance in early-game terms.
When you mouse over an item it’ll show the characteristics of taht item. Anything that will keep you from using that item will show up in red (i.e. Requires level 10).
Loot everything possible if you’re alone. Items with names in gray are for selling at a vendor (eggs, claws, etc.) You probably won’t be able to use them. Keep only items you can use, sell everything else. Keep any item with its name in green — if you can’t use it, sell it on the auction house. I usually take items and search them on the auction house and undercut the price 5%-10% for buyout. By the time you come across blue items you’ll probably have a feel for what’s going on.
You can only have 1 backpack, the rest of the slots are for bags. You’ll want to have an account at a bank too, you’ll be surprised how fast the bags fill up.
Being a fighter, you’ll want probably spirit and stamina items. Attack power is always good. (again this probably won’t be a point until you’re level 10 or so.)
QUEST QUEST QUEST. Do every quest you come across until you’re level 25 at least. No matter how stupid they are, they give XP. After level 10 you get Talent Points for each level. I’ve only played rogue so I don’t know fighter points but align them with however you want your character to be played in the long run. You can “respec” or change them around, but it costs a lot of money.
I’d join up but I’m busy trying to get my character on Nath server higher lvl.

I’m on board – if someone wants to look out for “Alterthorn” that’s me – a 32 Tauren Shaman. Love to join – just have a horrible memory that precludes me remembering to check TR for a list of folks before I start playing. 🙂
It would probably help to have a couple of high levels in the guild to help with some of the sticky spots; I know my Alliance guild (Suicidal Warriors) has that, so if you’re particularly stumped by a quest you can have a 60 jump in and help or guide you through ugly spots to get to new flight paths (without dying 14 times). Not crutches for everything, but useful from time to time.

One more noob for the team.
by wingedmonkey · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
I’m a double noob actually, to both WoW and TR. I am not yet a consistently contributing member of TR, though over the last few months as I have been reading the boards, I often played one in my mind. Hargh!
In Brief-
39 year old U.S. Navy Retiree.
4 kids ages 5 through 13 that call me Dad. Three much older stepsons from previous marriage that I will occasionally ramble on about.
30 years D&D experience,-Oh no, not the three little books stories…,
Played NeverWinter Nights, Diablo 2, COH/COV and yes JD, all my female characters are gravity defying, chest centric. To paraphrase the PVP online comic, if your going to stare at a toon for 3-6 hours a night, it might as well be pleasent to look at.
I just upgraded my video card so my son could play D&D online. We both find the solo game play to be tedious and dissapointing, but if you have a headset and great group to play with then its one of the best gaming experiences we have had in years. Makes for a slow day if no one is teaming.
Oh yeah, and Oblivion. For when I have the pager and need to break frequently to remote into work.
I’m pretty pscyhed about WoW. The game has been given a lot of attention by PVP, Penny Arcade, ctr-alt-del and even the author of Nodwick.- ((More online comics.))I want to Play! And my toon will be a girl, a hottie girl! With really big, erghmmm, weapons and shield. I would like to play an undead Mage after I learn the game some, develop hotkeys and have memorized my spell list such that not even a six pack of Guiness will hinder my rain of fire and destruction upon the enemy.
Just kidding, I really drink Michelob Ultra or Coors Light, whichever is on sale. I’m to cheap for Guiness. Probaly not even spelling it right.-

Hey JD,
It took me a couple days to get through the bugs and finish the set up but i finally got some game time in today.
I don’t think I will be playing a Hot babe toon unitl the Bloodelves are out. Of the four choices, I found myself strangely drawn to the female Taurans…., Hey beer does funny things eh?
If you ever do go back to COV, I can hook you up on the Justice server with a good amount of Infamy. Enough to keep your Enhancements in the Green up through level 20.My game time is going to be sporadic this weekend. I should be more settled into a routine come next Wednesday. My son wants some equal game time, and he is playing Alliance…, I haven not disowned him, no yet..,

It’s just about midnight on Tuesday. Keres (Bill), Dozark (Tony), and Elkwinkarma (me) were on and leveling characters.
I looked for Cervisia (jmgarvin) but didn’t see him.
If you have a character on Duskwood – add the name to the list so we can find each other in game.
Elkwinkarma made it to 10 and is all set to quest for his Voidwalker. 😉

Must have missed you
by jdclyde · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Missing in Action
I was late getting on because I had a last minute call that someone wanted to view my house today (selling house for divorce…)
Being at the FRONT of the time zone, I had hoped that people would still be on at 10:30 EST.
I tried to /W cervista, dozark, and elkwinkarma, but got no response. 🙁
might have already been off, or I didn’t do it right. poor me. got up to lvl 4 just putzing around for a bit, but never did find the guy in the hills…… (no, I don’t remember his name).
I did see I am not proficienct to wear anything but cloth or leather, so that is what is stopping me from wearing mail. Have to find out where I get that from. Tried asking last night, but didn’t get much help from people on last night.
Oh yeah, how common is it that you get put into a cue to join a world? It took me about 10 minutes in a cue before I could get into the game.

Sorry we couldn’t hook up JD.
Add those names to your friends list and you’ll be able to see if we are actually online. BTW what is your character’s name?
The guy in the hills is directly south of the villiage you were born in. I believe there is a windmill or well next to him, and perhaps a tent.
Waiting to get on is annoying, but it happens – success means crowds.

I know this has been asked already and answered for someone else…I just wanted to ask because I’m a noob to the TR forums.
I have other toons on another server but would like to make a toon to join the TR guild.
I understand the server is Duskwood and we are making Horde.
If it’s alright to join, here will be my specs (making the toon tonight):
Name: [b]Dyggen[/b]
Race: Orc
Class: Hunter
Professions I plan on: Mining & Engineering
Secondary skills: Cooking & FishingPS: BTW, has a guild been setup yet? Name of guild?
Also, I have and run a Ventrilo server, but only allows up to 8 connections at once.

You can join! Anyone can!
by jmgarvin · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to May I join?
I haven’t set up the guild for two reasons:
1) My level 11 toon just doesn’t have the cash 😉 If there is someone who could donate a couple of silver, that would be awesome! I only need 10s, but between training and getting up to speed on my professions, I’m a little short (still). If someone doesn’t mind making a small donation (2-3s) I’ll get the charter and get the guild started.
2) I’d like to be on when I can get the sigs from everyone. Just add me to your friends list (cervisia) and I’ll stop by and have you sign.
I should be questing near the XR pretty soon, so that seems like it will be a good centralized meeting place.
It seems like most people are 10+ now, which will make life easy.

I would be glad to donate some silver to help create the guild. I’m doing skinning and mining to make some good money and to help supply others with materials they might need for their professions in-game.
My toon name is Dyggen and I’m on usually from 8pm to whenever Pacific time (I’m in Arizona).

In reply to Thread just for names
I have been playing fairly regularly. While I have never played a Tauren before and only an Undead Mage to 16th (hence my bias against the Undercity… that place needs roadmaps!), I feel confident in playing in the Horde Zones.
It will be hard not being able to use the Deadmines for the easy acquisition of Linen, Wool & Silks. To say nothing of the amazing volume of green items that drop! But I have heard that the Wailing Caverns have similar levels of gear and quests.
I am looking forward to the challenge.
On a side note:
PEOPLE, please DO NOT feed the gold farmers! I know the temptation and I have avoided it. I traded for 3gold on Duskwood for 8gold on Bloodhoof. I know how hard it is to get started but as a quild we will overcome this!I have started with Herbalism and Skinning. Both items are good sellers in the bazaar and when I acquire sufficient cash I will begin to develop my Alchemy.
Also, thank you for the Linen Bags! As soon as I get to where I can make healing potions I will begin to distribute them.FINALLY: I would suggest that EVERYBODY look at some of the User Interfaces out there…

…this might be fun. I’ve never had the patience to learn how to play computer games or video games. What’s the Warcraft learning curve like? I just now checked the WoW web site. Do you really need a 3D graphics card to play? I gotta check and see what kind of graphics card I have. I only remember that when I had my PC built, the guy gave me an upgraded card b/c the one I wanted wasn’t in stock. Seems like he mentioned something about gaming-something-or-other when he gave it to me. Me not being a gaming kind of guy, I just thought, “Yeah, whatever” and went on my merry way.

by wingedmonkey · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
Well what are the chances of that kind of timing?
I got the game up and loaded, but seems the account management, including making of new ones is temporarily nerfed while they fix things with the authentication server. Geuss I should have loaded yesterday..,Also interesting that they are trying to put the Goldfarmers out of buisness, closing thousands of accounts and such.
But you can still purchase items, gold and characters through their official clearing house,, or not, was that Everquest?Did anyone notice the adds that pop up at the bottom of the forum here for buying gold, “All Servers open 24/7” and “Free Powerleveling?”
Personaly, I want the challenge, second, I want an EPIC PET! Quick, where is my visa before it is to late? Hey look for 20 bucks we can buy a guide that promises we will never have to buy gold from a gold farmer again..,,
Rant is nearly over,
I have a character I have played since 1995 in one form or another, “GrugSeargent JokTet,” a goblinoid scrap fighter and hunter/devourer of Elves. I just read that he would be an illegal character because of the word, “Seargent,” in his name.
I can adapt and expand my horizons,

If you keep having to patch, run the BNetupdater.exe manually. This should hook you up to the correct patch and make you current.

but I am going to ask the question anyway.
You do not have your system to auto-reboot on stop errors do you? I know you have offered this answer in Tech Q&A, so I imagine you do not, but the only stupid question is the one not asked, so I did.
Any chance you can take a look at RAM? Did you add the additional 512MB? If so, can you remove it and see if the problem is still evident, or maybe take out the original stick?
Hey, wait a minute…..

No, I never upgraded the memory yet. There is a single 512 right now. No, I don’t have any other pc2100 ram around to swap it out with.
It has been doing this for a while.
System does auto boot, but never looked if “on stop errors”. Will check.Got a bud going to lend me a 1900 cpu and a mother board so I can swap that stuff out one at a time. If he remembers to bring it tomorrow, I should have this resolved by the play on Sunday! B-)

Struck down again…..
by jdclyde · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to got new parts today! :D
Got the pile of parts and started swapping.
Did the power supply, no deals.
Had already done video.
Did the CPU, no deals.Swap out MB, and find only one of the three is compatable (one is even INTEL, what was he thinking?). Asus board, but not labeled well. After much digging through the manual, I FINALLY got it connected to the case cables, so it would turn on. Of course it won’t boot, even in safe mode. Figure because of chipset.
Put new drive in to load XP from scratch. It copies everything to hard drive for install, and then bombs out. (love winblows!)
It comes back to the point of installing, and won’t get past that.
I am so depressed. This is going to seriously affect my ability to join up for a bit. Getting ready to put old system back together, because it was better than nothing, until I can just buy a NEW MB/CPU/RAM. grrrr.

What is left to replace?
by wingedmonkey · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to trouble in paradise
Hi JD
I have been reading your posts on your rebuild issues. Though not with such scutiny and retention that I would be able to answer my own question.
What parts do you still need to swap through to make your PC WOW compatible? Memory? Video Card? NetCard?
I could probally trade off a couple of my older, been sitting in storage for at least two years, PCs for a new motherboard or some other component with the guys from work.Don’t make me go Amazon.com on you.

Gotta laugh, and then duck.
My good lady was a Baldur’s gate Fiend, would literally take the keyboard from me if she didn’t like my tactics. Then she played through Dungeon Siege until she exhausted all possiblilites for further experience. We had to buy a second Game Cube just so the kids would get a chance to play once in awhile and when she isn’t DMing for her current D&D tabletop group, shes planning my demise as the laptop I bought her won’t run her Syms2 fast enough, yet she suspects mine will.
The down side is that our gaming Egos are to huge to allow us to both play any video game togeather at the same time. -

If there are no problems with that, I’ll get the charter and start looking around for signatures.
Add Cervisia to your friends list and drop me a line. We’ll hook up and I’ll have you sign.

I think Republic of Tech is too long, but don’t quote me on that. They stop you after a certain number of characters.
Basically it works like this:
1) I will get the guild charter and get 10 (or is it 8?) sigs.2) I turn in the guild charter and the guild is formed.
3) Then the invites to the guild flow. I just need character names and such…and we should be all set!

There are ships that will carry you between Undercity and Orgrimar.
Undercity – between Brill and UC.
Orgrimar – TO the right of the front gate.(If standing outside looking at the gate.)I think both sides will send you to a major city somewhere in the level 10 range.
What side are most on? I’m most familiar with Kalimador through previous play.

Clarification on the TR Guild
by Mark W. Kaelin · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
I just wanted to add a note about players (new and old; experienced and inexperienced) who want to join the TR Guild in World of Warcraft.
I know [b]jmgarvin[/b] has been taking the lead in much of this activity, but I am sure he will agree with me when I say: [i]Everyone is welcome![/i]
We have no limits in terms of numbers or experience. We are not making a serious raid-only guild. We are just going to have some fun – no obligations, no one will be forced to play a certain character or play a certain way or anything like that.
This is just for fun. For me, this guild will give me the chance to get to know members in a more social setting and to make some friends. So the more that want to participate the better.
Look for Elkwinkarma – I’ll be there almost every evening 9-12. See you there.

Tales From The Troll Side
by wingedmonkey · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
Just a random post or two from the Troll Realm until I am high enough level to travel.
So I have a full pack of ruined hides, boar teeth, misc armor pieces and some gooey things. I figure its time to try to find a merchent.
I explore a bit and find the, “Hidden Market Bay,” or some such. Nice find, just have to jump in the water and go for a swim. Jump was good, except for that 65 hitpoint loss from the fall, but its all good I can heal once I make shore right? Denied! I’m suddenly dead. WTF? So I play ghost, make the journey back to my body, and strange enough, there are a lot of floating corpses bobbing up and down next to mine. Really, WTF? Could they all have died trying the same jump off the cliff shortcut that I did? I decide to figure it once I rez. I rez, and within a split hair later, I am dead again. Suprise! There is a freeking little crab with the power to deal out one hit death damage hanging out by our bodies!!!! No wonder why there are so many corpse bobbers.Any fellow Trolls out there got a hint for where I can sell this pack full of junk?

In reply to A couple silver never hurt ;-)
Yeah I am so Noob,
I think I played my first try character through for five hours before I had my first Silver Piece. It was a celebratious event. Now I know that I can grind out at least 1 Silver an hour..I think I have about fifty Linen though,
And a fishing Pole WITH training. Not sure if I am using it right, I do better damage barehand to them crabs then whacking them with the pole does.

I palyed EQ2 in beta and for the first month of release. While I thought (and still think) it had potential – it just didn’t do it for me. It had no soul; and I just never had any fun.
Maybe you’d like to give World of Warcraft a try?

I love eq2, in fact most of my buds that came from WoW say that eq2 has come so far since beta, and they said the same thing you did. they say the difference is incredible. Personally I love the game, its just about near perfect. Anyway, I’ve invested too much time into my toon to really move on to another game even if I wanted to, and have a guild with a bunch of friends in it, so I am happy here.
But we are always looking for more!

I know the TRI-Lams!
by mmathat · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to PLAY EQ2
When SOE, in their infinte wisdom (/em choke /em puke), merged the Veeshan server on Everquest 1, we of the Guardians of Veeshan (www.eqgov.com) moved to Everquest II and WoW. While there is still some old die hards in EQ1 90% of us migrated.
GOV was the oldest guild on the Veeshan Server and arguably the 3rd most powerful on that server in 2003. (We had Fires of Heaven and Sovereign ahead of us. Google the FoH and you’ll see that they’re one of the most powerful guilds ever!)Anyways, the GOV is now in Everquest2 on Befallen and we have many crafters as well as explorers. Myself, I am a crafter.
Every time I start getting good in one of SOE’s games they come along and do a “Combat Upgrade” which ruins it. I logged into EQ2 the other night and didn’t recognize the controls and I also had a complete respec!
What really tears it is that they took away the known quantity of the Noobie Isle.
I have a character on the island who, before the combat upgrade, was a Slayer of Orcs. (For those of you who don’t know about that, it requires 500 kills before you get that title. There was only ONE orc on the island!)
I know people will say that I was nuts to goto that effort, but it looked COOL being Lvl.7 with 220%XP and fully tricked out gear.
I look forward to seeing you on Befallen when I log in!Argentfury

I think what they did to the n00b island is good, even though it messed you up, the overall change was for the better. The island is pretty cool now, IMO. Now the n00b island has no cap, so there are level 22s running around on the island, and there is a running challenge as to who can level their toon the highest without leaving the island…. lol.
Definately look me up, its too bad you are guilded already. Tri-Lams are looking for more people!

I’m an EQ2 player
by dr_zinj · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to PLAY EQ2
WoW is okay, but just isn’t quite there for me.
Used to play EQ (Maybe you’ve heard of the monk Zinj?) until EQ2 came out; and yes, EQ2 in beta left much to be desired. Well, to be fair, WoW has drastically improved since it came out too.Played on the EQ2 Kithicor server up until the PvP servers came on-line and then switched to the Vox server. The PvP environment is much harder than simply PvE; and Vox is downright nasty in that people who have the $$$ can BUY the best there is. Which, while annoying at times, is a definate challenge to those of us who deliberately choose to play less than optimal race/class combinations.
(To be honest, I also created an assassin so I could at least kill someone once in a while.)

To Sum it all up…
by mmathat · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
As I have been reading, this is the gist of what I believe:
Server: Duskwood
Faction: Horde
Guild: TechnologiaAssuming I have that correct, then the next questions to be answered are:
What Classes so far? (I plan of playing a Tauren Hunter as they have the best starting area in relation to the other Horde races. The undead city SUCKS to navigate out of and so does Orgimarr.)
What Tradeskillers do we have, and where are we weak? (I will be doing Alchemy and Herbalism)
Is there going to be a Guild webpage or are we using the TR? If we have our own, what is the URL and who is webmaster? (I have some ideas… think we can find an IT savy person to host it? LOL)
If the name is availible I will be:
Argentfury
Tauren HunterI am already Argentfury, Dwarven Hunter 60th Gun

I’m doing skinning and mining. Mostly for money-making but to supply other tradeskillers in the guild if wanted.
Heh, on the flip side of that starting city coin; I actually find The Undercity to be much easier to navigate (yes, even navigating out of) than Thunder Bluff. It was confusing at first, but knew the place like the back of my hand after a couple of days.
I do agree that Orgrimmar is quite tedious and confusing though.
At any rate, glad you joined us and hope to see you online! 😕

PVP Servers suck but Battle Grounds ROCK!!!!!!
by mmathat · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to I know it’s early…
While I am not one of the Carebear Folk, I really hated to play on a PVP Server. Everytime I turned around a 60th Undead Rogue would come running through Goldshire ganking all the level 6-12 people.
It got to the point where we would only slow him down by having him climb over our piles of corpses! (For those of you who are new, objects can block LOS but not movement for the most part).
Of course on the Bloodhoof Server my character, Argentfury the Hunter, has achieved Sgt. I was higher but slipped back. I am 100% in support of anyone who wants to hit the battlegrounds.
And since the Duskwood Server is realitively new there won’t be the nutcases running around having spent 500g on twinkage.On the Bloodhoof Server there is a Gnome Rogue who is level 19. He has over 34,000 kills!!!!!!!!
He is fully equipped with the Defias Set and a pair of Cruel Barbs (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5664) that are each enchanted with Lifetap.
His other gear has over 400gold worth of Enchantments and he says he NEVER plans to level over 19. In any War Song Gulch Battleground (WSG BG) he is in turns into a bitch fest about twinks. He has also NEVER played as a team member. He will often camp in the Horde graveyard, stealthed. He then ganks the respawned enemies. While this racks up your kills it is seen as VERY POOR sportsmanship.Luckily the Duskwood doesn’t seem to have this issue yet.
Also, people, the rewards for completing the BG quests are very nice! Its difficult to match the quality of the BG items until you’re hunting the Molten Core!Just my 2cp worth!

It’s official – We are guilded

In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
As of about midnight (EST) last night, Technologia is officially a guild on the Duskwood server in World of Warcraft.
Voldormort was the 8th signature. The 9th and final signature of the charter came from a random troll running by. I didn’t want to do a drive by sign request, but I wanted to get the guild up and running.
The Trolls name was Lakuu and told her that she is welcome in the guild, but released her from further obligation if she has other plans or opportunities.
I promoted the charter signees to officer status so you can add members as they arrive on the scene. See you in game.

Are we limited to just one character?
by wingedmonkey · about 17 years, 11 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
I know the answer would be yes if the goal was to reach high level as quick as possible.
But I have been having a lot of fun trying out new class and race combinations.
I really enjoyed being a straight warrior, wade in and kill everything type.
I am as just amused by playing a warlock and training up my Imp.
Its a joy to run my undead cleric around the undercity just to explore it and find new places I have not been to yet.
My son suggested I maintain a character with mining and blacksmithing skills for the purpose of providing needed goods to other members in the guild.If we are trying to stick with one Main Character for guild play, then I’ll concentrate on raising my undead cleric. I know clerics are usually important to the party, and the sad thing is, for a zombie, she is prettier then my troll and orc femails.

You can have as many characters as Blizzard will allow. I am concentrating on an undead rogue, but others have two or more. Mark Kaelin for example has both an undead warlock and undead priest.
It’s nice to have multiple characters particullary when the situation calls for a diverse group–healers, tanks, casters, etc.
Just alert one of the guild officers when you’re on with your alts and we can add them to the guild.

Orphan Quest- 5 Gold Reward , 1 Hour Work
by wingedmonkey · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to World of Warcraft TR Meeting
Hey Guildies,
I Had no idea what was up with the orphans the other night so passed on the quest as not being worth the time. I just found out last night you can either get one of 3 pets or 5 gold. It only takes about an hour of travelling to different places and no combat is required for completion. The hardest thing was figuring out who to buy ice cream from for the kid,- Goblin in front of Bank at Orgrimmar.
There is some debate at Thottbot on wether this is a once per Toon quest or once per User Account or only one gold reward per User Account, I’ll find out this weekend. I do know the 5G was a welcome site for my Alt Stable.-

Quest Update
by wingedmonkey · about 17 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Orphan Quest- 5 Gold Reward , 1 Hour Work
I ran it again tonight with a different character, same User Account, got 5 more Gold.
Maybe the debate at Thottbot is that the same character can not run the quest again when childrens week rolls a round again, I don’t know.
Still a 1 hour effort, land running, no flight paths. It will go even quicker if you have them. If not, good time to get them.
Second note, I started at a fresh level 11, between quest reward exp and discovery exp from all the places you go to/run through, I made 5,500 exp, which is 13 full bars for my lvl 11 Toon.

Getting added to the Technologia guild

Just whisper one of the other guild officers or myself in game, and we will add your toon to the guild.
As WingedMonkey pointed out, we have several TechRepublic staff and members who play on a regular basis–mostly nights and weekends.
Check out the Technologia Guild wiki:

Hello all;
I was out of gaming for most of June and all of July because of home issues (I married her and she wants me to pay attention to her?!?!?!?)…
Anyways, I am back and have a new game box as well.
I had to start cheap because I took the family to Puerto Vallarta.3.2Ghz Optron Dual Core (939 Socket)
1Gb DDR2 RAM
NVidia 6800 GTX twins… nice graphics!
2x 250Gb SATA2 DiamondMax 10’s… no raid…just lotsa storage.
DVD-RW
20″ Sony LCDAll told it set me back almost $700.
BUT, OMG what it does for WoW…
And last night I managed to survive in the Wailing Caverns obtaining a Wind Serpent. So I should own in PVP now.Since I’ve been back I have killed 58-59 HK and that was before my new pet.
Going to see how I do this evening.Hope to see you folks online!

It’s nice to have you back.
I can make bags for you of up to 14 slots, it you need some storage in game.

Glad to have you back

In reply to Back in the game
Many of us are getting very close to 60 and we’re definitely glad to have more players for the higher-level end-game stuff. It will be a while before we have enough players to run MC as a Guild, but every member helps.

Hmmm

Is this still going on?
I have friends that play WoW, but I never got into it because I was in Shadowbane…which I quit last year.
Maybe after I get moved, I can join in.
If it’s still going on, can you send me a message jmgarvin?
Thanks

Sure you are more than welcome. Once you get into the game send Elkwinkarma a whisper and I’ll get you into the guild: Technologia.

cool

In reply to Still going strong
Might be a month or two, since I am pretty much packed up and use only the laptop at the house, which doesn’t have the graphics to play MMORPGs.
I’ll let you all know and I’ll get signed up when I get the apartment and stuff.
Thanks 🙂

Once you return….
by mmathat · about 17 years, 7 months ago
In reply to Hmmm
JCK…
Once you return I should be high enough to help level you and I can spare 50gp for outfitting… If you choose a leather class I will be able to make you some pretty fair armors.
Also, by the time you get back the Burning Crusade will be up so perhaps you can create a Blood Knight (A paladin wanabe)…
