Texsox Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 07:21 AM) In Game Gold Buyer and Seller not that I advocate this, but I've heard sites like this are good. I might write a book one day called "If I bought powerleveling, this is how I'd do it" Wouldn't it be interesting if the WoW people were behind the reselling? Kind of like the Cubs opening their own ticket broker service. You know, just tossing a log on the fire. They have unlimited gold to sell. It would become inflationary if they opened the coffers. This would react like any other economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 07:29 AM) it can be tedious.... it doesn't have to be, but it often does. Agreed. I just started playing a couple of months ago at the behest of some friends who have been playing for over a year. Normally I'm a sports, some WWII shooters, SimCity, Civilization, etc etc type gamer. I have played the Warcraft series since battlenet a decade ago (still a classic). I found WoW to be great at the beginning because of the ridiculous size of the world you can play in. But the usualy complaints I agree with: repetitive, not a lot as much reward for the time spent playing, etc. I'm only up to level 28 and I hear it slows down even more after level 30. I think the key is to not burn yourself out right away. Play a couple hours every couple of days and you'll be fine. The first couple days I had the game I spent entire Saturday and Sunday mornings/afternoons running around (great to play while bball/football is on in the background). I got burned out pretty quick and ended up not playing for a couple weeks. The key is to get some friends to play with and then it becomes more social. I have a few friends I don't get to talk to as much because they live throughout the states, but we can get together and run through some quests and chat while we do it. Anyone play Medieval II: Total War? I'm thinking about getting that but have never played any of the Total War games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) It is awesome. I do not play it, but I watch it all the time in my neighbors. He is a level 45. Three of my other friends are 60s. I would play it, but costs alot of money. I don't like alot of stuff like that, but there is so much to it, you can't help but watch it. I give it a thumbs up, and that is from a guy who only plays baseball and grand theft autos. Good to see ya around old fella. You still living the life at MSU? On a sidenote, for Xbox 2k hockey...for 360 EA NHL....those games = amazingly fun on multiplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is a little weird, but I'm just saying... RPGers are odd people to begin with, maybe it's their way to cope.

I'd play the game. I wouldn't hold an online funeral. What were they doing anyway? We're they going to put the player's body in the water? Was somebody logged in as his character and just standing there with it? I'd have killed all those funeral goers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone play this and have hints? expect alliance players to be douche nozzles. but there are more of them, so that helps with quests. If this is your first time, I'd play like a rogue, hunter, or paladin. Dont be afraid to spend time leveling, that'll help you get through quests quicker in the long run. Join Hellscream server and I'll give you some gear to make things easier. I'd be a dwarf or a human, because elf quests are lame. pick a mining as one of your professions, because you can sell ore and bars for $$ make sure you log out in an inn, that'll help you get "rested" xp, which means you'll level twice as fast. otherwise, have fun and don't be afraid to ask for help in game.
