Yeah. It's like 75% at 80. And most are scrubs. That's an absolute exaggeration. Death Knights at 80 are more populous than other classes because they're easier to level and 'cool?' I guess. Either way, its nowhere near 75% or 50% as players main characters, at all; there are still quite a few though. It sucks being in the same Token group as them and Druids, the two most popular classes on my server =/

Speaking of Ulduar, joined in a group that was doing Keepers, and we had ignis to do too. Ignis went down after about 5 tries due to the person tanking the adds not knowing what to do 100% We've failed on Hodir due to people not being able to avoid the frost blast and and freeing the NPCs... Now we're wiping on Thorim. Horrid experience for my first proper chance at Ulduar =/

No, it says "Some" membership, that's not a lifetime... I would enter but I have the artistic talent of a marshmallow. In the video it says lifetime memberships. I must say that that's a pretty cool prize, even more so for anyone outside the UK. (I don't live that far away). I assume the person behind making the video got it wrong, they'd be crazy to give away lifetime membership.

Raid lockouts really annoy me. With today being the last day before the reset and still not having done Naxx25 I get an invite to do Military wing + Saph and KT so I decide sure, I only need to do it for a few emblems anyway and perhaps the sword off KT so why not. Get there, save myself to the instance one try of the first boss and we wipe and everyone leaves :roll: Atleast I had highest DPS for the fight =/ I need to get into either a good guild or just change servers but I can't really afford the cost of changing servers atm.

Mages have highest Mana don't they? Especially Arcane spec. Although they run out of mana really quickly. I'm just below 20k mana unbuffed (19893) which goes to 21k once I use arcane intellect, hardly see any other glasses with more. Edit: you also missed Enchanting which means you can put enchantments (+stats) on equipment. You can also disenchant equipment to get supplies for Enchantment and other skills like tailoring.

Just a friendly warning - discussion of Private servers is ok to an extent but telling people how to use one etc. then it's against the rules and posts will be removed. Thanks.

Paladins are Melee based, You can either be a Tank (Prot), DPS (Ret) or Healer (Holy) but they are not spell casters as such (although they do have a few spells). Also for the kill the 3 VoA dudes in 60 seconds my thinking was: Get The fire dude to low HP first and bring him to the centre and keep a tank + 2 healers there (maybe 1 healer), then go to Emalon and bring him down to 5% or so then kite him towards the middle ish and his adds close to Archavon. Then Nuke the crap out of Archavon and kill the Emalon adds when needed. Then when Archavon is down to about 40% hp finish off Emalon and Korvalon or whatever his name is then finish nuking Archavon. 10 man you'd have to be far far overgeared for it. You'd need 3 tanks, 3 healers and then 4 DPS. Same order but you'd need one tank to hold Emalon + adds and someone to heal them through both of them.

Mages, Warlocks and Priests are the main casters and are also can be killed the easiest due to only being able to wear cloth armour. However Warlocks can have a pet to help them which can take the damage instead of the Warlock. However this is really only a problem for levelling and once you reach 80 your defence/armour shouldn't matter if you are playing with competent people. Shamans and Druids (Boomkin form) are two other casters who can wear Mail and Leather Respectively (Cloth < Leather < Mail < Plate in terms of defence).

Yes it does, you get a month free when you buy the original game. I've never found downloading the game slow, I get around 2MB downloading it

You will want to download the game from the World of Warcraft site (If you live in Europe there's a different version of the game so you'll need to get the European version). You can then get a 10 day trial from various places if you wish. When you have decided you want to play, you will need to get either "World of Warcraft" or "World of Warcraft Battlechest". This is a retail box that includes a disc (but it's easier just to download the game) and a registration code, the battlechest also includes Burning Crusade which is the first expansion and adds Two new Races and a whole new area covering levels 60-70 and the battlechest has some guides too which may help slightly although I'm sure a lot has changes since they were printed. You don't need to be Wrath of the Lich King right now, the earliest you'll want to buy it is when you reach level 55 and that's if you want a Death Knight, if not then you can wait all the way up to level 68. Wrath of the Lich King is the 2nd expansion and adds the Death Knight Class and another area stretching up to level 80. If you do download it, I'd recommend downloading the Wrath of the Lich King client straight away as this is compatible with Normal WoW accounts and BC accounts which will save you a lot less hassle then having to install it again etc. The 10 day trial is very limited - you can get to level 20 I believe but you can't talk to people or anything. And the game only really starts picking up for a lot of classes around the level 20-30 level.

I was told today that apparently stacking spell power gems is bad and I should be getting crit instead? Even though when I started getting crit people said I was doing it wrong and should get spell power :wall: What's the stat "tier" for arcane mages? I was told Spell Power > Haste > Crit > Intellect (this is after hit cap) which is what I've chosen my gear on (Always has to give me more spell power than my last bit of gear and then I pick haste instead of crit) which seems to be working well for me, up to 2145 Spell power 14.88% haste but only 18.23% crit. http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... =Milfamore Obviously not much I can do about it now, but is it worth replacing some gems when I get new gear with some crit gems instead? Or just stick to putting in whatever +SP gems I can get? Also would I get a huge increase in switching to a fire spec? If so anyone got a link to one + the standard spell rotation etc. I'm really liking Arcane and my Arcane Blast crits ~45% of the time (some fights it's up to about 60%). I really need to get into a group for Ulduar but to get into a pugg I'd need to have done Ulduar already... which means joining a guild that does Ulduar but the only way to join a guild raiding Ulduar would be to have already done Ulduar :wall: :wall:

Finally got an epic helm, the 219 from the new HC. The first cloth helm that has dropped (other than Tier 7 tokens at KT) since the day I dinged 80... So I have the epic achievement now :D

I can never do the chord changes in that song, the strumming - fine, the solos - fine it's just those bloody chord changes :s

Yeah it's pretty hard think we wiped 4 times perhaps, 3 times on the first set of 3 bosses and then one more time on the boss after that but 1 shotted the final boss (easiest of the lot imo). Normal gives great loot too, got a new trinket (Like the Sundial but gives Haste instead of Crit) and from the HC I got the Spell Dagger which I socketed with a the new +23 spell power gem :D Also got Combustion Bracers from FL 10 man, was really tempted to sell them but that wouldn't have been fair.

Congrats guys :D :thumbup:

Questions: The artifact you have there is a plate, yet your paladin doenst have plate yet? (Level 40 isnt it?) is that how it should be? Because I was thinking of buying an artifact to start an alt but didnt know if plate would actually work. Yeah, it doesn't matter for Heirlooms, like, Hunters will be able to use the Mail one before 40, and it'll just have the stats of Leather while worn by him, same with Shamans, Warriors, etc. Yeah, it's actually "Mail" in game and will change to plate at 40.

I'd say three. Plug In Baby; Vampire Weekend: A-Punk; Sublime: What I Got. Five. Lithium (live) and the spirit of the Radio (live). Ring of Fire, Under Pressure, Superstition, Steady As She Goes, Wolf Like Me, All Along the Watchtower, You Give Love A Bad Name, Fame, Feel Good Inc., 21st Century Schizoid Man, Do You Feel Like We Do, Jailbreak, Runnin' Down A Dream, Back Round. You people are insane if you can only find five good songs on there. I didn't even list the "meh" ones, like Wanna Be in LA. Ring of Fire, Under Pressure, etc. may be good songs, but aren't fit for a GH game. Exactly, a lot of songs are "good" songs but aren't good songs for GH.

Locked on request.

There's been two on this page...

My Paladin is level 22 now, hopefully hit level 30 tomorrow atleast. So far all I've done is the first two areas for the Blood Elf starting quests (The starting zone + ghostlands where I still have 2 group quests to do) and have done a run through RFC and SFK. Going to skip Silverpine forest I think and just jump straight into Hillsbrand, hopefully doing that whole area will get me to 30 easily then the area next to it should get me well over 40. One thing I really really am missing is teleports. Having to fly everywhere, ugh. At 30 it won't be so bad when I actually have a mount but the next 8 levels are going to be quite dull. Sending all my BoEs I pick up to my main account and then enchanting them there before disenchanting them to level my enchanting skill I started up recently. I got about ~20 BoEs from 10-20 which was nice, all from monster drops. http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... n=Milfadin My spec is probably completely wrong but oh well, will respec again at 40 I guess when I'll also pick up dual spec if I have enough money by then. Also, why are there no helms early on in the game? Seems they don't start coming in until late 30s or so (I remember my first one was possible from SM on my mage). Seems to make no sense to me. Trinkets I can understand a bit but helms? Bleh

Muse - "Plug In Baby" We're up to 1 good song then.

Started a new character, a Paladin :D Going Prot MS with Holy OS once I reach 40 as my server is severely lacking both tanks and healers. I swear paladin are overpowered, I can take on 4-5 mobs at once without dying easily. I've yet to die and just dinged 14. The 10% shoulders really help, hit level 12.5 before leaving the first area and into ghostlands. Also levelling a lot more quickly now I've already played through a character and know what to do, going to try and finish each area before moving onto the next one. Which should make levelling easier although perhaps a bit slower.

Not 100% true. Any* monster that drops gems is part of the following drop family (in least rarest to rarest): uncut Sapphire uncut emerald uncut ruby uncut diamond tooth half loop half Rune Javelins (5) Dragon Spear shield left half There may be some more drops in there too but I believe that's them all. Not 100% on the Javelins either but I believe it to be the case (I've had some from some low level monsters before) *The only set of monsters this does not apply to are the Tzhaar monsters which drop gems but do not drop any of the others.

Doesn't PvP come before PvM? (If you're attacking an NPC a PKer can just come along and you attack you anyway)? I'm sure this has been the case for a while now.
