Hey guys. Just wanted to throw this out since release is just a few days away.

I am running a guild on PVP central. We have a few rules, but thats mostly to weed out the asshats. If any one wants to join a guild as PVP Horde, send me a PM and I will let you know what server we will be on.

Our server will NOT be the main PVP one. As it got so publicized every fucktard will be on that server. Which by the way is the "Lowest Server Alphabetically"  (Closest to "A"). So you guys can avoide that one.

Damn, I need a guild too, but I've kinda settled on rolling a Palidan. Then again, this (30 MB) (http://home.no.net/~jace/va/jace-in-wow.avi) is as good an argument as any not to choose Alliance.

I'd like to join if it came down to it, but (sorry to hijack the thread Morphiend, just want to check) is anyone else playing Alliance?

I will probably play alliance, but I haven't decided yet.

I really enjoyed playing a Paladin during the stress test, but I fear that most alliance pvp players will be Paladins and I hate being like everyone else. Maybe I'll go for a Night Elf Priest or something.

I haven't played Horde much just because I wanted to leave that option open as "something new" when the game was finally released.

If anyone wants to do an Alliance guild (pvp or otherwise) I'd be interested, as long as it isn't a catass guild. :)

Stop right there.



Could be.  I'm leaning towards undead rogue.  I'm also looking forward to waiting a week to buy the game, so I don't have to wait in line for all of the newbie quests with the zergrush on the first day.  So post up the server name when you get it  setup.

Hmm I always thought there were more humans than night elves, but maybe I'm wrong? Anyone see %'s for what race/class people play?

I suppose I could do a dwarf or a gnome (rarest, most likely), but I have a phobia of short people. Actually, fear of being projected into a short person's body. What's that called? Parthenophobia? Coulrophobia? Well, anyways..

What the hell are you talking about?

Oh...My...Fuckin'...God...WTF did they have to side the dwarves with?!?  Grrr, I may have to get this game just to make sure to kill every guy in a dress that I can.

Heh, not doing very good there. I bet NE and Gnomes will be the most popular on alliance side. Gnomes have some of the best racial benefits for PVP, specially as a mage.

Well fudge, what is the underdog class/race combo then?

I am going to be alliance, not sure what server i will be playing on.

Why am I going alliance? Cause Night Elf Chicks are hot, Dwarves with Guns are cool, and every fuckstick in the game is practically GUARANTEED to be playing Hoard.

Just quoting for 2 months from now.

Well, as guilds such as DiE and Kali Swarm/Compton showed during testing, there's going to be plenty of fucksticks on Alliance as well after release. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority end up on the Alliance side given the unbalanced content distribution at the moment.

From reading the now-defunct general boards, I got the impression that Alliance generally outnumbered Horde during beta.

I'm game if you'll have me.

FIFY.

I spent most(well, all) of my time in open beta on the Alliance.  As everything but a gnome.  Gnomes resemble far too much that baby that gets punted around in South Park. (Kick da baby!)  I played a gnome in EQ, and EQ2... but they looked like small people, not footballs with stubby arms and legs.

If you want to play an unpopular class/race...  Don't be a hunter or pally.  they seemed to outnumber everyone else by 2 or 3 to 1.

Alkiera

I cannot fucking stand the gnome voices, which sucks because I generally favor the "little peeps" in MMOs.

I hate them almost as much as I hate Night Elf players.

Oh, I don't know about that.  If you look at the list of PvP guilds (of course, my thread on that was locked due to the retarded posts of some brainless Night Elf named Ardent), you will notice that many fucksticks are choosing to play Alliance.

It generally held true in Closed Beta that the majority of asshats joined the Alliance, with the more mature PVP players going Horde. This is by no means a all allaince are idiots, just thats how it worked in beta.

Also, I think some servers will have more idiots on alliance and some will have more on horde.

You want a underdog race, play troll druid (can trolls be druids?).

for allaince I think Humans and or Dwarves had the lowest population count. But in release that could change. For a time you couldnt go more than a few feet with out tripping over a night elf rogue or a gnome mage. Im just glad that as a Undead, I now have the option to eat them after I kill them.

I have used the word fuckstick in 6 different threads throughout the internet, today.  :(  Cheers.  Thanks a lot.

Can you really eat your PvP victims after you kill them?  That seems extremely gruesome in a game, no?  Shouldn't it have a mature rating for that sort of content?

Dont think trolls can be druids.  Only Night Elves and Tauren can be Druids.  Trolls get shaman, which is cool enough by itself.

You could in early UO by making them into jerky.  Of course, that became a big controversy so they removed it from the game.

At least in WoW when you feast you will get something from it.  UO just made your character full and made a "crunch crunch" noise.

Are you sure this isnt just against non-player creatures only?

I cant imagine that this would be allowed in a teen rated game. I know its stupid, but ratings boards are picky and European countries are especially picky when it comes to things like this. Germany would not allow this at all.

Hell, you cant even show the human skeleton in China at all. Magic The Gathering had to change ALL their cards that had a human skeleton in the art, for the Chinese versions. Even if it were merely a skeletal hand. Having skeleton undead eating other players wouldnt go over too well.

Im not sure, as I never got the chance to try it. It would really suck if you couldnt. (I am pretty sure that you can) The thing is, there is no graphic to go along with it, and the opponent would never know you are doing it.

Well if you want to be rare, be a Druid on the Horde side. They are about as rare as a woman at a NAMBLA convention.

Well I might have to be a Horde Druid then. Let us know what the name of the PvP server tomorrow, Morphiend.

Well, that sort of sucks.  I understand that Horde and Alliance can't communicate, either.  So you can't even describe eating your victim to your victim.  Sort of takes the fun out of it.

I'm not sure if PvP will afford the Undead with enough time to eat the dead, unless its right after a major wipeout.

I'm going to eat the rich first.

You can, but it's in another language, so they just see '[Corpsy McMunch] fladdle oople moomy!'  It's possible to learn the other races' languages.  If you were a real psychopath, you'd spend 20 minutes teaching them your language so they can understand you when you describe eating their corpse.

Ok, I think there will be 4 pvp servers in Central. We will go on a middle alphabetical one. Like say, one starting with "M".

Aren't children more tender?

Count yourself lucky. I'm Scottish, so the Dwarf voices are unbearable too. It's almost as bad as listening to Robert Duvall in A Shot At Glory.

I kinnae brut der 12 fangs bach ta ye fer rewardin, boyo. Round o’ pints fer e’yone!

Holy shit.

Fixed that.

Ever get to hear the voices in EQ2?  Now that's annoying!  The Fagloks have the worst yank-trying-to-sound-limey accents I've ever heard! (and most of the voices are embarassing to hear [must...kill...all...hobbits *cough* halflings *cough*]).

The Iksar with their fake extended s's really annoyed me as well.


There was one Hobbit voice I liked which was a female armor vendor who used to say something to the effect of "Qeynos needs her defenders to come back safely and we make sure they do." She said that in such an earnest voice that it always brought a smile to my face. It seemed like they took that out in the later parts of beta, however, which was kind of a bummer.

Ok, my guild going to be playing on Mal'Ganis, that is PVP Central for any one interested.

Speaking of languages, how exactly WERE you supposed to learn another races language?

I understand that all Alliance races start with "Racial Language" and "Common", so a dwarf would know Dwarvish, and an Elf would know Elvish, etc.

Not sure what the "common" equivilent was for Hoard side.

But how does a Dwarf learn Elvish or Orcish?

I did find it rather cool that language covers both spoken dialogue AND written text though.  Was doing a quest on my Dwarf over in Elf territory, and had a quest to read these two history tablets.  I had done the quest before with an Elf, but the monster concentration around the area prevented me from keeping focus on the tablet long enough to read all the text (and you cant interact with the objects again, once you have read them, or if you dont have the quest).  Since my Dwarf was much higer level, I figured, hey, cool, I will finally get to read all the stuff on these tablets.  I was mildly surprised to find the tablets actually written in Elvish when I tried to read them (rather then translated into readable english when I read them with the Elf).

Now that I have finished that mild derailment, back to PVP and stuff.

Another thing to keep in mind.  Whichever side you choose, you will be STUCK with, on that server.  You can not have both an Alliance and a Hoard character on the same servers.  It wont let you.

Hmm, was just rolling up a rogue there and saw SiN tags wandering around. I guess this means all the guilds on their list switched to Mal'Ganis as well.

Noooooooooooo

Well, I checked their site, looks like everyone is still going to Archimonde. I don't wtf is goin' on then.

EDIT: Anyways..I'm 351 on queue. Probably a good idea to move somewhere less populated...How many of you are playing on a non-Central server?

No. A lot are on Achimode. A few Nurfed and DiE both switched to Illidan. So far the only major guild I ahve seen is the Goon Squad, and man, those guys are every where.

Yeah, pretty much evey Tauren I saw this morning except for me was wearing a Goon Squad tag. I was pretty impressed because this was about 10:30am, a half an hour after most stores started selling it. I didn't find out until later that some places had started selling it at midnite the night before.

Speaking of guilds, do we just need to PM you to get in yours?

Well I ended up joining a mountain server. I couldn't get into any central. Those severs are going apeshit and will be crazy for a while now.

The queue for my server is only a couple hundred and that seems good compared to many others.
