Can I get a rollcall of everyone on Earthen Ring, your main names and your alt names so I can get in touch and start up the guild. Still need 8 signatures. Even if I've already talked to you in game, can you post here for clerical reasons? Thanks.

Edit: can I get your classes and tradeskills as well? Completely forgot to ask. Oh and frontpage has a news item up. If any of you all want to join in on the blog. Just ask.

Edit 2: Horde side because good is dumb.

Twee, no alts yet.

Irth
Righ
Ry
Rhi

I'm playing Irth (orc hunter, skinner/leathercrafter). The Righs are bank space for now.

Foxglove - Warrior blacksmith/miner
Angrybob - priest

Whew.

Finally got back from my Thanksgiving vacation with the alcoholic relatives, and ready to sink my life into WoW.

Ardent - Troll priest
Kythshar - Undead warlock

Soukyan - Tauren Shaman (no tradeskill yet but will most likely be Alchemy/Herbalism unless Tailoring or Leatherworking really strike me which is doubtful after having done Blacksmithing)

[edit]Also made an Undead Warlock named Greta (for shits and giggles), but I won't be playing her much.[/edit]

I made Trippy, Troll Shaman, on Earthen Ring. I don't plan on playing him much but if you still need signatures I can run him to wherever you are at the moment (assuming I can survive the trip at level 1).

Ithica - Undead Mage, decided on Tailoring and Enchanting  (make my own armour, and buff it.  Good stuff)

Viin - Tauren Druid

Currently:

Moonsoon - Tauren druid.
Bolborro - Troll priest.
Sotto - Undead mage.

They're all level 5 or so, and I'm a noob since I haven't played beta.
EDIT:  Not playing them much, bumbling around with alliance races on another server for a bit.  Mages are fun.

Hello,

I was hunting around the Barrens with Kekela. Was wondering if I could join the guild?

Qeth - Tauren Warrior
Anysy - Undead Mage

Ailletard - Orc Hunter - Tailor (BAGS!)/Leatherworking

Haemcow - Tauren Warrior of course

Niara - 18 Undead Warlock
Tailoring/Enchanting

Of course you knew that.


Also, making 8 slot bags if anyone needs them.

Yuggoth - Undead Warlock
Grukthor - Orcish Warrior (blacksmith/miner)

Taldren - Tauren Warrior

Watch out Haemish, they are on to you:

Edit: Took out direct img link

I assume the comic you're trying to link is the one about pr0n.

Your workplace is filtering out GU Comics?:

http://www.gucomics.com/archives/view.php?cdate=20041203

The comic you put in the Img tag above is the one GU uses to keep people from remote linking. It was about pr0n.

Though the one you later linked is funny to.

Oops, sorry about that. It showed up fine on my computer so I didn't realize it might be messed up for other people.

The most startling thing was that when I followed the link is that there was an advertisement for Ryzom on the page. It had a scantily clad cartoon fantasy woman with the words "Wanna play?" below. This may entice some people, but coming from a toon with a face like Eddie Izzard, I suspect the appeal is more limited than it might be.

Used to be a member on the Waterthread forums, and just recently did I sign up for the f13 forums here.

Anyway,

Alkanphel - Priest

Tailoring/Enchanting


-Ryuji

Sweet, we are outnumbered nearly 3 to one :P

Jesus, its Hibernia all over again.  Only now the one plus to the clusterfuck - seeing elves die horribly - has been reversed.  The horror.

EDIT: If all the other cool kids are doing it...

Bloodfire, Level 17 Troll Mage (Tailoring/skinning)

I thought Shaman was teh ubar flavah of the week character class.  Yet it's last in the rankings.  What gives?

Maybe everyone is predicting a major nerf, which when you look at their skills is justified.

MMOG gamers exhibiting forethought and restraint? Nah, stats are fucked.

Those stats are for both alliance and horde. Since shaman is horde only and we are outnumbered three to one it only looks like they are the least popular.  Of the horde they were 54/359 which is a good sized percentage (15%).

Guess I'll need to grab Cosmos to check these stats for Argent Dawn...I had no idea that the Horde/Alliance imbalance could be so bad.

This site (http://www.warcraftrealms.com/censusdisplay.php) lists census data that people submit.  On Argent Dawn, just like Earthen Ring, night elves outnumber all of the horde races by themselves. Terrifying.

Which just reinforces the fact that you should never underestimate the attractive power of Elf Boobies.

So what you're telling me is that most MMOG players on Earthern Ring are TEH GHEY? Is that why I seem to see so many damn night elves everywhere in Hordeville?

That and the fact that the Night Elves start on and do much of their questing on the Horde continent.  Probably the same reason most Alliance people think Undead make up 75% of the Horde.  I've never seen a single Human, Dwarf, or Gnome in Ashenvale or the mountains.  Only occasionally in Barrens or Needles.

And I think the skewed numbers come from the fact that the Horde population doesn't respond well to census takers.

"Hi, I'm from the Greater Kalimdor Census, and I was wondering how many humanoids live in your cave."

"Dinner!"

"Oh, sorry.  I interrupted your dinner?"

"No.  You Dinner!  For the Horde!!"

"aglglglgl"

True words, there. Friggin' everywhere. The Den to the Undercity. There was a gathering of alliance players in the courtyard of the undercity last night and the horde could only produce a single lvl 30+ character.

Good thing it's not a pvp server, I guess. Because those night elves are EVERYWHERE. I'm sure their ability to stealth has nothing at all to do with that...I just ignore them if they're ??, but it's damned annoying trying to play with someone following you around clucking like a chicken. Not quite as annoying as constantly being ganked by the majority of the server, I guess.

Bat country is possibly the greatest guild name ever. I started chatting with a member and he/she pointed me here and i really like what you have done with the place. Intelegent rants and interesting articles.




Azlan- level 20 undead priest - herbalist/alchemy
Garanos- level 17 orc hunter - miner/engineer

Yes, I do think my server choice (speaking of the population; the rp stuff never got to me) drove me away from the game faster than it should have.

For that, I apologize. Not like the servers are up anyway, am i rite? ^_^

Intelegent AND smrt!

WindupAtheist- Level 60 catasser - misanthrope/cockmunch

You are probably right about being a cockmunch, WindUp... but I don't believe you are a misanthrope, except in your own mind.   You play even a wannabe misanthrope very poorly.  You seem to simply be the standard, common as muck asshole.  You are nothing more than a tedious little wanker with no style , no class and absolutely no talent for posting anything even remotely interesting.   I've read your posts and I am almost ashamed to live in the same universe as you.

Happy Christmas, Asshole.

Stop trying to win Best Post of 2004. I've already rigged it in my favor.

Heh, I've never seen Signe pull out guns like that. Either she started and is stopping smoking again or someone QUITE LITERALLY just shit in her cereal.

Either way, bravo to you Signe.

Her cheerios are either full of urine, or nicotene, but BRA-VO.

/John Cleese

Is that really neccesary ?

/end John Cleese

I have been convinced to give WoW a try- I am hoping to find a box somewhere today; if I am successful, I will be on this evening. Who should I talk to for a guild invite?


Sheer brilliance, btw Signe.

I've stopped playing on Earthen Ring because of the shitty ping I get. Pacific servers 4tehwin.

You playing on Shadowsong or did you suffer an embolism when I told you our group levels?

I had an embolism with all the idiot names on non-rp servers. Your catastic levels didn't help much either. I'll probably hang out on Cenarion Circle for awhile. Got my Druid up to level 15.

Just remember to leave general chat and you're usually safe.  Plus, you can make fun of people with stupid names while you wait for the blimp or are strolling through Ogrimarr.  Nothing quite compares to a 13 year old trying to verbally pwn you in broken english.  Fuck, if I can handle it, you can.  Nothing bothers me more than stupid names, but you learn to just use it as an interaction filter.

Jizzpatrol: "Hey, r u an blakcsmth?"
Rasix: "No, fuckoff and die."

And common, free stuff!  No strings attached. All of the 10 slot bags you could ever want and hand-me-downs a druid galore! And you can chat with me while we try to manage an instance that's balanced for 2 more players than we have.

You're probably playing an elf, though. Dirty elf lover.

Gold.


OK- so WTF is up? Is the guild split into several servers? Does the physical location of the server actually make a difference? Should I bother playing on Earthen Ring if everyone is going to be in bed during my play time?

I am scared and confused, and really tired of ordering this goddamned game online (with the assurance that it in stock), only to hear later that it is out of stock. Methinks a shooting spree is in order soon. Maybe Bruce will let me borrow his machine gun (Politics Thread).

I am one with the cow. And your taunting me to play with your hand-me-downs might just make a dent. Jeez, I can only restart characters so many times without having a coronary.

Bat Country is on Earthen Ring, though it's usually about 2-4 people online.

Ok, earthen ring is east coast. I am in Arizona. I was getting 150 to 300ms pings to earthen ring. Shadowsong (PVE) and Cenarion Circle (RP) are west coast and I get 15 to 100ms pings to them. I guess I'll start up on Shadowsong just to harass Rasix. He needs it.

I think I'm the only f13 person on my server at the moment. ><  To warn anyone before coming over:

-My group consists of 3 people, 41-43. 2 shaman and a mage.  We probably won't slow down for a while.
-We're all on around 9-12PST. The other 2 are on a bit more than I am usually.  
-Tradeskills covered: alchemy, tailoring, enchanting, blacksmithing, mining x 2, herbalism
-No guild as of yet.  It's hard to form or join a guild when you have the following preconditions: A) We won't participate in any mandatory raids. B) Just because we're in your guild doesn't mean you get free stuff. C) If we're doing something, we're not going to invite you in and probably won't let you join us unless we need you.  D) We will yell at you for being stupid. We will make fun of your stupid name. (I could write an entire article on this I think)   Suprisingly, no takers.
-Horde side.  

Anyhow, free shit if the materials are available. This means bags, potions, what have you. And especially free if you provide the materials.  And help with quests if we're (well, probably mostly I) not busy.  Too bad shaman can't buff ><.

Anyhow, for west coasters, this server seems pretty solid. And yes, it's PVE.  I'm a big wuss and I don't like being harassed while questing.  And shockeye, don't reroll if you're getting tired of it.  I burned out fast on CoH doing that.

Jizzpatrol: "omgwtfbbq im so reportinh u 4 taht!"
Rasix: "Turn on your fucking filter and shut the fuck up."
Jizzpatrol: "da filter id jsut 4 kidz and whatnot, u r so bannED!!!"
etc.

I didn't manage to turn off General until this past weekend when I noticed a wetness on my shoulder and realized half of my brain had leaked out of my ear.

It is funny to a point, though, the same thing over and over every night. You'll get the swearing/filter thing, the "is General ooc?", the rp nazi debate, ad nauseum.

Heck, I even leave LocalDefense off these days because of the population imbalance. Alliance are mining in Barrens, heh, their lands must be too full or something. But every jackass who sees alliance has to announce it, even though they probably aren't there for pvp. Put localdefense back on for raids and weekends, which I mostly just pvp through.

I shudder to imagine what the pvp and pve servers are like...but at least you don't get the rp nazi nonsense.

I am in awe of WayAbvPar's clever cross thread posting.  

Anyway, I'm still on Earthen Ring, although I've not been playing very much.  My life will settle down soon, I hope, and I'll play a bit more with a clear mind.  I've been a bit frazzled lately.  Righ also plays on Earthen Ring but we have been mostly playing some alts that aren't in the guild.  When I do play my main, I rarely see anyone from the guild on... but I have mostly played during the day.  I did, however, see Ego riding his mount around town, smugly waving his peen.  I guess he's a rich boy by now.

GAH. I'm not looking forward to somehow grinding out the other 70 gold I need to buy a mount. Luckily, I'm a shaman, so it not THAT much of a necessity. Still, it would be nice for the e-peen and to have everyone in our group running to stuff at a decent clip instead of mage-speed.

I should have been an alchemist.

Heh, I'm on PvP+ server and ever since I came to the Barrens at level 10, there's a ton of chatter about Alliance invading the Barrens, to go along with the auto-system generated "under attack" messaages... ...mostly it just scrolled by, ignored, along with the "Someone stole the Shredder. Luzzlewig will have our hides!" and "Verog the Devilish challenges you to come to his tent..." ... ...if someone repeatedly spams nonsense, that is what /ignore is for... ...including the "LOOKING FOR  1 MORE FOR WC, PRIEST OR WARRIOR!!!!"  

Funny deal is there are set of mounted Alliance NPCs (named elites in their 20s that put a hurting on me once or twice...) that roam through the S. Barrens -- at first glance, new players mistake them for real players and spam the general chat  when they discover them...

For being on a PvP server, I haven't done much PvP except for helping out a Alliance invasion in the Barrens a few levels back when I just moved pet then attacked enemy casters... ....and a little cat and mouse deal I played with NE rogue in Ashenville... ...been in Stonetalon Mountains a bit lately but Alliance gets stomped quickly there...

1: 2 NEs near Windshear Crag
1: 2 NEs dead!
1: Wow that was quick....
1: Easy drops

I now have a level 8 Orc Warrior named Stags on Earthen Ring.

Dear lord, the newbie zone is loaded with Troll RP'ers and Orc RP'ers that don't seem to understand that the Warcraft universe's orcs aren't nearly as retarded as ones from other fantasy properties.

If I see one more fucking "ya' Mon" I'm going to stab someone.

I'm tempted to make some gimmick characters on the Alliance side though.

What you fail to understand is that all Trolls are Rastarfarian. Deal with it, mon.

If that's true they'd be a lot more laid back.

They do that awful rastajarjar thing that involves punctuating sentences with "mon" and using nonsense baby sounds like "meesa" and "yousa".

I keep hoping to hear something like "that bucky on auction buff and ting, but I and I need to lay down heavy manners on those Alliance batty boys now".

My orc is. Hey, he's a warrior, not a warlock. Him bash gud, dammit. Eat you brain. Well, he's not so much retarded as poorly educated.

As for the rasta trolls, Blizz is the responsible party there. That's how the troll npcs talk, why wouldn't players emulate that?

I think both add a nice touch of character and at least promote some roleplaying, making the game more fun. Need more stuff like that, less ooc retardedness, imo. I can live way better with "hey, mon" than "r u gunna join us dude?". Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

Heh. Doesn't know who I am, apparently. Introduced myself a while back, week or more ago, and he's all "Sky who?"

Whatever, but no wonder I'm not in BC, when I've seen a total of one member (well, I did see Ithica in a /who once), and he didn't know who I was.

Hello, Sky.  Welcome to f13.  It's always nice to see new faces.  You should consider joining our guild, Bat Country, on the Earthen Ring server.  Hope to see you there and I'm sure we will become fast friends.

Cheers.

Signe (aka Twee, aka Grundel)

Finally tracked down WoW (after several abortive attempts that lead to me nearly killing everyone in my local Circuit City and being comped a copy of HL2 for the enormous inconvenience I underwent after going to extreme measures to insure I WOULDN'T be inconvenienced, but I digress).

Started a Troll Rogue named Grishak last night and worked him to nearly 7th level. He has Skinning and Leatherworking in the midteens, so send me a tell if you need a leather kit! LOL

So far, I like it. I HATE HATE HATE the cartoony avatars, but the gameplay is pretty fun, and the quests don't feel entirely Fed-Ex-y. I am pretty impressed with the strategy guide- it was spendy, but holy SHIT is it big and full of info. Sachant and her partner have outdone themselves this time.

Add me to your friends list and look me up.  If you are a guild officer, hook a brotha up with an invite!

Not quite. Check the index.

Oh yeah, no index.

I got sucked into taking my mother christmas shopping last night and while she looked at some ridiculous gewgaws, I slipped into EB. I was impressed with the strategy guide for WoW and bought it as well. I don't even like strategy guides, but it's good quality. Well, except that index thing...

And who is this 'Signe' person? Obviously a newbler by the postcount ;)



(don't kill me in a nicotine-deficient-inspired fit of rage!)
