...what with everyone constantly talking about it, but:

What is WoW?

*gulps*

If I somehow manage to convince my dad to switch broadband packages to one without a download limit, I'll be playing in the summer sometime as well.

I want a hat like that.

I'm seriously tempted Lipe.




About this guest pass thing. What restrictions does it have and do I still have to pay the monthly fee?


From what I've been reading, I think I'll be a druid Night Elf or something similar.

My internet's decided to pack up so i can't go on it (typical it had to stop working in holiday week when i was preparing for a mass levelling sessions the baskets)

I'm having withdrawal symptons already (runs outside and kills a rabbit and begins to use his skinning skill)

Good man.

I can't be bothered playing it anymore :S

No Clazon! Don't get it...resist! It will consume your life...I cannot let a fellow gooner destroy his life!

> What "faction" are the people on this site then?

There are 2 factions each with 4 races - Horde (Orc, Troll, Tauren, Undead) and Alliance (Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome).

Humans and Night Elves seem to be the most popular Alliance races, whereas on Horde, it seems to be balanced out from what I've seen - Trolls technically being the least desirable to play, stats-wise.

Then there are the classes, which distinguish you from other member of the same race (to an extent):

Druid
Hunter
Mage
Paladin (Alliance Only)
Priest
Rogue
Shaman (Horde Only)
Warrior
Warlock

On my standard server I have a Night Elf Druid and a Dwarf Hunter. On my new one I have 2 undead characters, one Rogue and one Warlock.

There's so much variety in this game it's mindblowing - I haven't even mentioned the Professions you can learn yet. Just make sure you don't succumb to it's charms when you should really be doing something else, including socialising with your friends. It's very seductive, but as stated before, can do so much to ruin your real life :D

See if you can get on a free trial Guest Pass, if you know anyone that has one (they come in the full version, so you can recommend a friend). You'll love it, I'm sure, but there is the 1 in 1,000,000 that doesn't seem to enjoy it :D

Also, safest place for you to be when they arrive is under your bed, they have an aversion to anything sleep related...

DO NOT repeat DO NOT buy this game unless you want your social life to fall to pieces;

You will loose friends, you will start trying to cast spells in public and you will find yourself demonically chuckling to yourself at in game moments that tickled you down at the pub (thats after the few mates you have reamining take pity on you and physically drag you out of the skink pit of rotting pizza, unshoweredness and general wiffyness that will be your bedroom)...

You've been warned...
