Quote from: "remote-control"
I'll be on central/eastern PvP servers  :twisted:


but still torn between either warrior alliance, shaman horde, or maybe even a mage!

I hear there's a lot of people playing on alliance, I like to be on the underdog side, more than likely horde, but I dunno!


man I can't f*cking wait until 10am tomorrow morning when gamestop opens it's doors


If you are alliance, don't be a warrior..  be a Paladin.  I played a warrior to 23, and then played a paladin afterwards..  the paladin was much stronger than the warrior.  Paladins get talent point abilities to increase rage generation, enabling them to tank just as well as warriors..  not to mention auras, judgement seals, and a ranged magic attack for pulling.

I'm going to be either a human paladin, or an undead warlock.

I'll be picking it up tonight at walmart, too.
Rogue for me. Not sure of what class, though. If alliance, then night elf. If Horde then either troll or orc.

Got my Orc hunter to lvl 7 before I had to get some sleep. The damned run to Thunder Bluff took the longest...considering the horrible wrong turn that got me killed so much.

just read my aim profile, it says server name and type as well as a screenshot of my nice level 14 with 1g and about 110 linen for a new found friend thats a huge tailor ;).  Mining 65, Blacksmithing 55.  Had a massive lag spike this morning on the servers, a nice 10 minute one.  So naturally all the junkies came out of the woodwork to unsavory woman about the lag and then go back to playing.

I love Parsons Wal-Mart.  The day any big title comes out, they've still got a whole row of them by nightfall.  They really prepare and Doom 3 and HL2 both had plenty of copies.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.
