I've had it with SW Galaxies.
I've been playing since December, slowly progressing until I reached Master Marksman and decided to pursue the Jedi initiation.
Now this takes a lot of work, a lot of travelling and a lot of quests.
The Rebel quests have taken me 2 days so far, and today was another update/patch.
Which has screwed the game beyond tolerance.
As a rebel, you have the option of Covert or Overt. Overt means you're open to attack from Imperial NPCs (Stormtroopers, AT-STs etc), and I didnt want that so I was covert.
Nicely doing my thing.
But the patch today removes overt/covert and replaces with
Special Forces - All can attack you including other players
Combatant - All Imperial NPCs attack on sight
On Leave - No attacks from NPCs or player.
So logging on, I'm promptly attacked and killed by 13 Stormtroopers at once. I think "Wtf?" and get cloned. Realise I have to declare myself "On Leave" so that Imperials dont attack on sight (and they're everywhere).
Go to Rebel Base to continue the quests for Jedi and?...."You must be a member of the Rebel Alliance to enter"
???????????????????????
I can only continue these quests, I'm 2 days in, if I allow myself to be attacked by each and every NPC around?
But this has taken me almost a month to get this far, this is dumb.
Ok, I'll declare myself Combatant so I can carry on.
BANG, 11 Imperials kill me in 15seconds flat.
I go back to Cloning Station and? Imperials outside, kill me again.
I get killed 8 times in 5 minutes, I cannot move without being attacked.
I can't continue my Jedi quests without being attacked at every turn.
Balls to it. I'm not tolerating that, it's dumb and has flushed 3 months down the toilet.
So - the point of this post -
I've bought World of Warcraft, installing in a bit.
What's a decent server to look for?
Should I find a guild to join?
What are some of your names to add?
Poxy Lucas, has to choad a previously fun online game just like he loafed over the new movies.
Bah

I'm thinking you might enjoy Orc or Tauren Warrior/Shaman/Druid.
Warriors are self explanatory, Shamans may be spellcasters but they are tough as well, and still good for melee - one of the most powerful classes overall. Druids are spellcasters that can shapeshift into a bear for combat, and a panther for sneaky stuff.
Don't worry about getting mobbed by the enemy faction, eahc faction has a number of territories, in these places you can't be attacked by other players unless you attack them first.
When you're at more capable levels you will reach contested zones, here factions can attack each other whenever they want. I wouldn't worry about it though, I've hardly ever been ganked by enemy players, and if you play as the Horde you are much more likely to get assistance from friendly players to fight them off.
There is quite a lot to take in and understand, but it's enjoyable and I'm rather addicted to it.

I'd demand to get it for free.
I bought a Warcraft game once, actually I got the last one and the expansion. I played the original then a few weeks later played the expansion.
The bloody security code didn't work and I couldn't take it back.
RAAAAR

It didn't occur to me to demand a sealed copy as this has never happened to me before.
But looking now, the box is a bit crushed and the manual thumbed.
I'll return it tomorrow and get a new one, then start being a geek tmrw afternoon.

Where did you get it from? I got it from Game and the case inside the box was all sealed.

Nope, wont register the game.
Enter the authentication code and it comes up "This authentication key has already been used. Please contact our Account and Billing team via www.wow-europe.com/en/support/"
Grrrr...this is page that comes from the in-game menu.
I know it doesn't say Europe but I can't choose the region

Make sure you're on the European sigh up page, it goes all crappy if you're not.

Galaxies was utter cack. Laggy, poor framerate on a decent spec and the ppl were utter tards. Warcraft is a much better game. I'm going on again now so feel free to add me, same nickname as on here. I'm pretty new myself but after 12 hours I'm almost lvl 10.
