I picked it up from Target this morning (I had to wait for Target to open) for Dan.
Left it next to his cell phone, on top of the TV in plain sight.
His birthday is Sunday, soo.. yeah. silly dorks.

I reserved a copy at the local gamestop and was going to go at midnight but I was tired and didnt want to wait in line for 2 hours. I went this morning when they opened but I was picking up my bf's parlly start playing yet. havent had a chance to really start playing yet. I am installing it now and am I going to play it for a few horus before I go on a mini vacation this weekend.

I think I am going to focus on leveling up my rogue instead of making a death knight. I don't play enough to level up two characters at once :( And I want to be able to raid with all my guild buddies.

hahaha

man I honestly didnt go to the midnight release extravaganza last night becuase I live in a suburb and I was afraid of being with 100 14 year old high school kids. They were also having a costume contest.............. I like playing the game but there is a limit to my infatuation with it.

I played WoW for like three weeks - I was in guilds, I raided with lots of people, but DAMN that game is boring.

bardy
11-13-2008, 05:42 PM
did you make it up to 60/70/whatever the highest level was when you were playing?

Mo
11-13-2008, 05:50 PM
No, only 40something, but I played with the lvl70 char of a friend of mine a few times, and it was just as dull to me. It's strange, I always thought I'd have a high addiction potential when it comes to computer games (and MMPORPGs in particular), but apparently that's not the case anymore. :/

This game got old fast, I tried out warhammer online to and it was pretty good but I kinda got bored with that already to. These games are boycotting decent story and fantasy immersion for predictable, hugely repetitive fodder for time wasting. I really hate that they actually bow to this low attention span to imagination syndrome. Then again it seems like 80% of games do it these days, or maybe I jsut got older and boringly nostalgic for the old games that seemed to collaborate fairly unique ideas and gameplay so perfectly.

WTF dude, do you sleep?

hardly. i'm playing at a friend's place and he just hit 79. there's actually a guild on our server that has cleared ALL wotlk raiding content already!
i'm usually not a hardcore wow player, but i got nothing to do at the moment and it's fun.
i'm going out tonight, tho...need a real life fix real bad.

There's no way that's true about the guild on the your server. There hasn't even been enough time to farm gear to reach a point where they could finish all the content.

The only guild to come close is <a href="http://twentyfifthnovember.com/">this one</a>, and they actually get paid (sponsored) to clear content first.

JokeyLoki
11-15-2008, 02:56 PM
Well, there you go. But I don't think they've cleared ALL the content. Isn't there more to it than that?

JokeyLoki
11-15-2008, 02:56 PM
I don't see the point in powerleveling through everything anyway. There's an amazing amount of backstory in the beginning quests, really fun stuff, and I just don't see how you can enjoy it by flying through it.

My 70's aren't even 71 yet... my DK is 61. I'm taking my sweet time and getting what I paid for.

Phoenix Down
11-15-2008, 02:57 PM
Don't know, dude. apparently not before the next patch which hasn't even been announced yet.

yeah, totally. I'd enjoy it a lot more that way. Gonna take my time when I level my other char up, too.

i wonder how many people would buy an expansion that made pking possible

better than new
11-15-2008, 03:13 PM
Yeah, Arthas is not to be included until the very last patch of the expansion, similar to The Sunwell patch. So we've got a while to wait before anyone sees it all. I don't see the fun in running through all the end game that fast. I've seen everything up through T6 content but it's not fun when it becomes a job.

Good game that I never finished, yeah it has the repetitiveness to it but atleast it has some atmosphere, though the first one was better to me more darker and spooky. That was a long time ago though...

my brother is at lvl 78. he wants to be the first mage to 80 in his guild.

diablo 1 creeped the hell out of me when i was 10. the series is done in a great style for sure. unlike warcraft. the warcraft universe is retarded.

I didnt play all weekend, started at about 2pm today and just made it to 71... haha. my guildies are only one or two levels ahead of me so I don't feel too bad.

I couldn't imagine staying up for three days straight trying to hit 80. I can be pretty obsessive like that but I don't think WoW is a big enough part of my life for me to care that much, haha.

Anyway, I just did a free character transfer to the new PVE server Galakrond.... I was on Bloodscalp and it was pretty full and PvP and I am sick of being ganked by horde. most of my guild is moving for the same reasons.

how many hours a week do you play it?

I don't know, it varies?

If my bf is out of town or it's basketball season... a few hours a couple nights a week and then on sunday afternoon or maybe saturday if nothing is going on.

I don't watch much TV though =/

Got my copy at 12:01. How about you?


were you dissapointed by 101am?

this new add on is bull spit, cant fly til 77 cant fly in bg like they said you could..

takes forever to get form 70-71

the death knight was the best feature in the upgrade...

personaly once i hit 80 im going to cancel my account....

why should pay for something that is so shitty?

the new bg is complete shit...and av removed from concentrated efforts? WTF why get rid of bc`s bg instead of wsg for this repeatable daily quest?


all i know is this is one person who can see through the wow hype and is aboutt at my limits of being ripped of 30 bux a month for the privilliage of what 36 hours+ of down time a month thats scheduled and more thats not.....


I agree wow causes college drop outs and is over all not as good as star wars galaxies in its up keep.......


Disagree f*** you ....

Nice first post, douche.

No, actually, I've been rather enjoying it. I've been taking my time leveling, the quests are incredibly well written, and the phasing technology they've implemented with some of the later quests is totally badass. I like the feeling of helping the Alliance take camps away from the scourge in Icecrown and seeing the story develop before my eyes, rather than doing the quests and seeing the same damn scourge camp there the next day, even though I did a quest that destroyed it.

Why the hell would you wait until you hit 80 to cancel your account if you don't like it? That's fucking dumb. If you don't like the game, cancel it now before you waste money on it. Or sell your account on Ebay. At least make some money off of it.

Have you done the Wrathgate quests yet (the huge cut-scene)?

That quest chain alone was worth the price of admission.

is that the one in dragonblight where at the end you get the achievement and see the movie?


if so, then yes... and that was a pretty cool movie. Although the towns people all screaming and running everywhere in that town got annoying to listen to haha

JokeyLoki
12-16-2008, 05:18 PM
Yeah, that and the follow up battle at Undercity. Very cool.

Icecrown is like a continuation of that.

My favorite so far is the quest where you get the murloc costume and the quest where you poke monkeys with sticks.
