Well 2 or three characters is reasonable.

I have the 33 Dwarf Warrior on Perenolde as my PvE character.

A 22 Orc Shaman on Spirestone as my PvP character

And Agathon on Dark Iron, because I wanted to see what a fresh new server was like.

Both are fun, but the Horde are cooler. Just don't be a Night Elf, especially a Night Elf Rogue. That will mark you out as a 13 year old whining ganker.

You have to play with some of us. We can form our own guild eventually. The Polytubbie Brotherhood (Hell, it beats "The Farting Jackanapes" which is my idea for a guild name).

I've found that grouping is much more fun than solo'ing. What are people's thoughts on that?

I only group

won't play a game if I have to solo

I do both. When you are hunting animals for leather it is more fun to solo.

Solo for most quests, grp up for instances. My dual wield warrior goes through mobs like a hot knife through butter (my xp per minute is significantly higher than with my shaman), so grinding is an option too.

I'm definitely looking forward to partying up with as many 'polytoners as possible ...are you Canada at the moment, or have you moved? I know LN is in northern US (or so I think).

I've also got a friend who I'm gonna be bringing with me.

Unfortunately, at this rate it seems like my mac won't get here until well into next week (ordered it sunday, as of now yet to be processed) which means World of Warcraft will be delayed as well.

I don't get it. 1 1/2 levels is worth more to you when you are 58 1/2 than it is when you are level 1 and could get 2 1/2 in a few minutes anyway.

Or?

It's not worth more because it only doubles experience, it doesn't fast-forward you 1.5 levels. If it takes two minutes to get to level 2.5, then it would take one minute. If it takes 20 hours to get to 60 from 57.5, then it would take 10 hours, assuming you have that much of a rest bonus.

It's not comparable because you become less rested the more experience you acculumate.

Actually of that list, only Arnelos has left (and ZargonX) - GodKing, Genghis Farb and myself are all active along now with conmcb25 as one of our new members. BigDork is only occasional with us as his main is on another server.

Roll horde. The Alliance are gay. Horde pickup teams I was in went 6-0 in WSG this evening. And five of those six were downtrous.

I was most often the lowest level character in the arena (23) where most were 29-30 and I still managed to kill more than most of the alliance n00bs.

That's because Shaman need to be hit with the nerf bat, hard.

Nah. It's because the Alliance is full of 13 year olds who roll Night Elf rogues.

In most of the games I played last night I was the only Shaman and I was by far the lowest lvl in the game most of the time. IIRC every class has movement restricting abilities, which are the most important in WSG. The Hunter's ability to do this at a distance along with his pet makes them the best WSG class IMHO.

In every Horde WSG game I've played the group immediately sets up a raid. In the Alliance games I've played this almost never happens.

The Horde typically set up two parties, one for defence and one for offence. The Alliance mill around chaotically trying to get HKs. If I find myself nowhere near my party I will solo at the nearest group of Alliance until I get killed. They must think I'm an idiot. Joke's on them. While 4 or 5 of them are mobbing the lonely green shaman for an HK, 3 or 4 Horde team members are left unmolested to grab their flag. They also don't seem to remember that the point of WSG if you aren't the flag carrier is to slow down the movement of the opposition as much as possible.

The Alliance are usually so disorganized that they appear in mobs of 2-3 players. A party that mostly sticks together will be able to beat them easily, since it's a number stacking game.

If anything really needs nerfing, it is the rogue's stealth ability.

I recentely sold my account because I got bored - don't get me wrong, WoW is not a game that one easily gets bored of, here is a list of the toons, only the highest of each class listed...

lvl60 Female Tauren Druid
lvl60 Male Troll Warrior
lvl58 Female Troll Rogue
lvl46 Female Human Mage
lvl45 Male Orc Warlock
lvl44 Male Troll Shaman
lvl31 Female Dwarf Hunter
lvl30 Male Undead Priest
lvl11 Male Human Paladin

I also have (had) about another half dozen characters in the under lvl25 range. If you wonder about the gender distribution of my toons, when I choose a female it's usually because the male is too buff for that class, for example the human male looks like he spends way too much time at the gym to be a mage (like, he'd have no time to pore over dusty tomes of ancient wisdom). I also tend to like my toons tough and scrawny which is probably why so many are trolls. (If only trolls could be druids...)

Certain race/class combos also look retarded. For example Male Troll and Male Human rogues have a "Pretend you can't see me, thanks!" look when stealthing. The Female Orc wand cast animation is bad enough to make you want to lifetap yourself to death (luckily the only wand-using female orcs are warlocks and thus suicide is always an option) - if you want to know what it looks like (as no-one rolls female orc warlocks, and if they do, they wont use thier wand) - most toons bend their arm at the shoulder when casting a wand. The female orc bends her arm at the knees.

So anyway, I'm not playing WoW anymore. I'd done and seen everything and all that was left felt like Groundhog Day. When the expansion comes out I'll probably buy the game again.
