With the announcement of 1.7 in testing and the previous annoucement of RP-PVP servers being released at the same time as 1.7 is  rolled out to live, how many people are really interested in starting a new guild on one of the massively overcrowded RP-PVP servers?

Rastafarian trolls, thees, thous,  and ganking.  Hooo boy.  Pass.

Do not forget angsty nightelves! Do not forget them, but kill them wherever you find them! Go. Hunt. Kil Longears.

I think I'd do it...

Not for the rp, but it seems like it may entice the type of people I'd like to play with (Mature, but competitive....And at the very least, moderately interested in the game world/lore).

Even though I don't arr pee, I actually think the rp-pvp is a really good idea and well over due.  I do think, however, that it will end up being very over-crowded.

I'm in, but I do have doubts about the matrity of the whole thing - a new PvP server will be a crush as every disaffected player re-rolls with dreams of being an unstoppable ganking machine.  I doubt the RP label will change that.

But hey regular people to play with will make it fun. 

Gangsta-farian? (I should note I say that in jest and I need to point that out since I don't have the post count to pull it off straight-faced as it were)

The people on Earthen Ring are older, though perhaps not more mature than those on Tichondrius. However, the bulk of them share a desire for a degree of 'immersion' such that they tend to pick more reasonable names, and tend to report names that are not reasonable. That's my only real interest in an RP server anyhow. There are more exploiter/griefer types on RP and PvE servers than there are on PvP servers. The rule set actually encourages and protects it. RP-PvP will be a good thing overall.

I'd be interested if I could roll a shaman.

My guild will probably roll alts there. The current theme seems to be a troll-only guild.

I proposed a guild composed of nothing but tauren shaman and undead rogues, but I was shouted down. /sadface  :heartbreak:


-- Z.

I would possibly reroll....AGAIN....

But only on the horde side. Any more lowbie Alliance content with make me a SUPER SAD PANDA.

I'd join you all, but I know the endeavour is doomed to failure/ short attention span and will dry-up in a month. ;)

Ditto. I'm staying where I am.

Heh.

I've decided that all my characters are alts to be played when I feel the fancy.

Makes sense to me.

Myself and a few of the guys from my guild are talking about rerolling on the RP-PVP server. I think we would probably roll horde if we did. Not sure how you guys feel about that, but if we do, it is a very decent bunch of guys. So we could all group together.

My Sub is until October 15th, so....

Sounds good morph.

I'm in.

Seems we have Hat, Morph, Shock and a few people interested.

I do think it will be mega-crowded when they fire the server up, but that seems to stop after the initial happy of something new wears off for WoW's jaded player base.

I think it will be decent though if we get organized at give it a try.

P.S. - hordeplzkkthx

They will launch more than one of these servers after 1.7 goes live.

Yup, so Horde side on one of them, we'll decide when they come out.  Anyone got any names?

How about classes? I refuse to play Priest for a third time, and you don't want me a as a critical class when I leave.

I'm looking at Rogue, I think.

Mage or Hunter for me. Probably.

It's about time that they include some more classes (Bards, Barbarians, Monks...Something).

Bah! Might as well roll up another character on a new server so count me in. At least on the weekends, I might be avaible.

It could be a warlock, though, since I did not play that class before :D

Shaman for me.

Hopefully.

Edit: my bud will be playing with us too, dunno what class though, probably not a healer.

SO where are we going to be doing missions? I vote for the Undead areas....

What's a mission?

Besides, shaman don't get along with the undead, being unnatural and all.

So are you saying that you'd rather do random mob whacking then?

No offense...But why?

Or is xp faster that way?

Oh, quests.  Heh, just everyone do their own thing, less stress that way.

I thought you were refering to in game voice overs but now I've seen the ugly side of it.  Adding 'mon' on the end of everything and dropping 'h' is not rp.  It's annoying and should be bannable.  For god's sake at least spend ten minutes googling rastafarianism and add something.

I'm still Horde though - even troll rp is better than elfs, scottish drunken dwarfs, and gay happy gnomes

I'll play on an RP-PVP server strictly for the RP.

However I come with conditions:

No stupid guild drama, please.

Fucking bastards. Not only do you want me to reroll, but you want me to play Horde as well?

Ok, but I'll only be a rogue or a hunter, probably undead because I fucking hate all the other Horde races except Taurens, and cows can't be rogues or some shit.

No promises on the RP stuff, but I can promise no guild drama, I can't stand that shit.

Haem:  have you down as Tauren Hunter or Undead Rogue then :P

It's too hard to hide in shadows with the horns, and the clippy-cloppy feet.  Which is a shame, because they're masters of disguise!

"Nobody here but us coatracks."

Announce the server and I'll create a toon.  It will be one amongst many, so not sure how often I'll play there.  If people are active and willing to meet up, it will be more often than not.

Sounds good, don't really care for more than that from people, just stop by.

And if others have such a problem with outleveling the majority of the guild and want to leave to bigger and better things, well, here's a premptive fuck-you:

(http://www.dekluif.nl/grappigeplaatjes/fuck%20you.JPG)

That shit ruins the experience.

Explain "drama" to me.

Specifics please. This thread just got hostile for some reason, and I'd like to know why  :lol:.

I don't want you to do anything. Go back to your hole.

(http://perlmeister.com/rundbrief.archiv/20001204/images/springer.jpg)

I backstab you from my rogue hole.

I don't want you stabbing anything into my hole. Err.. wait.. yeah..

So, classes?

Either undead mage or warlock.

Or Tauren hunter, depending on if I can come up with a witty cow name.

I can see perfectly fine, thank you!

Seriously, so funny!

Orc Shaman for me

Shuggles will be a hunter or rogue or warlock.

Undead Warrior.

Possibly Troll Shaman (doubtful).

Btw, I wanted to ask you:

Warlock or no?

Undead Priest or Tauren Shaman

If I do, Tauren Druid or Orc Hunter.

Depending on how soon the servers open up....

Undead....Something....(Rogue/Warlock...something not critical to a party).

Well I've played a Priest to post 50, and a Druid.

My new PvE Shaman is fun but I think in a 5 man instance/gank squad I could probably contribute more as another class.  I'd say Druid but they are damn slow levellers if you don't have a regular squad to progess with.


Leaning toward Mage.  I favor Trolls over the ubiquitous Undead, but Undead are better stat/skill-wise. 

I favor undead because their starting areas don't suck ass.

Mages more than welcome!

Stray I still have a key lime green Bones Brigade t-shirt with the skel ripping out the back.  I remember buying it in 1986 for my first day of high school LOL!

Actually I have my favorite deck stored away too.  Woodgrain Crossbones with black and red color scheme.  It looks like an ironing board compared to modern decks but, man, did I love that thing.

So yea okay WoW, etc. etc.

Heh, I wish I had my first deck still (Jodie Foster's Army/Big, fat, baby blue and paisley thing). I've still got a Hawk deck lying around though.  :-)

If I can work up the willpower to reinstall WoW than I might be up for this.

I'm still in favor of Burning Region.

Hat, remember this is a RP server. A bunch of those names wont fly. What about some thing to do with f13?

P.S. - That post Shock highlighted should be factored in probably.

ROFLCOPTER!

You know that you can take your young orc and travel with him to the undead area of brill after level 5, do you ?

We should hide a naughty word in the guild name. 

I second the motion.

I'll probably roll two toons.  One will be mage because I haven't done one yet.  The other will be rogue for those times when nobody is on and I have to solo. 

Undead Rogue
I'm not sure what race for the mage.  I have to look up the stats.  I'm used to Alliance.

"Doomed" would be a good name.







What?

Don't look up stats.  Roll undead for WotF and underwater hiding.

As for guild names:  I don't want something f13.net related because best bet is in a month everyone will stop playing again.  At least with a stupid sounding name like 'Doomed' we can recruit from the populus and maybe have our own damn guild instead of merging with cockknock no10.

I'm partial to Wit for Hire.

Doomed I like.

"Black Thirteen" would be a great name.  Much love for the Dark Tower.

Of course, I'll just be here laughing at you while you struggle through massive queues, frequent server downtimes, RPing-gankgoons, and most likely the griefer crowd this type of server will attract.

And I might roll a cow hunter or druid.. very unlikely though.

I'm fine on Shadowsong at the moment. If there's any kind of technical fuckups with these new servers, I will stay as far away as possible.

Unlucky For Some.

Though I still think that Burning Region is the best name, and Doomed is the most appropriate name.

Let's all just go undead.  Then we can be "Doomed in Death" (DiD.)  Or be whatever race and have "Doomed to Death" (DtD.)  The second being appropriate since that's what the guild will be in 3-4 weeks.

I think you should go all cow.

Yes, go all cow and call yourselves The Meat Market.

Shadowsong Sucks....The server is too mature. I tried to get a group with my 36 warrior....and nothing.

If all cow, then:

Bad Moo Rising

Were I to play horde it would have to be as Orc or Cow. Too damned many undead and trolls attract too many wannabe jamacans.

Hmm.. Just for the sheer horror of it I might roll-up a female Tauren warrior and work on getting the skimpiest armor I can.  The cries of agony would amuse me.

Hah, "Mrs. Heifer, are you trying to seduce me?"

(http://www.cinemaieti.com/especials/cansons/elgraduado01.jpg)

I'm most likely going Orc, since every tauren I've made gets put away around 25ish for some reason or another. I would be convinced though if we were going lots of cow.

How about  "The Lost Chapter" for a WoW guild?

I love Taruen females.  I like their dance the best, too. 

My vote, btw, is for Burning Region.  It's like a naughty word but most people won't know it.  It should make your enemies uncomfortable on a sub-conscious level. 

Somewhere done on the cockles level, I'd imagine.

I'm interested in the new server and have to agree with Pop - if it ain't casual it ain't fun.  I'd also rather go Horde, preferably orc warlock/engineer.

I pretty much have to play Undead. There is just some thing so cool about how they run all hunched over. While Taurens have the best racial abilities for Warrior (Warstomp, More HP) I like the aspect of RPing a Undead a lot more than a cow. Since it is a RP server.

*Edit*
Would also be cool if we had some silly RP aspect to the guild that we would constantly try and stick to. Like if we all went undead, the only thing ever said in a public channel would be "brrrrraaaaiiiinnnnsssss" "Brrrrraaaaaiiiinnnnnsssss???" "braaaaiiiiinnnnssss!!!".

But would probably better if we could come up with some thing to use for all races. Any ideas?

"eaaaaarrsssss!!!"

or

"For the Whored"

And it has to be a guild for everyone.

Of the people,
By the people,
To kill people.

Ambivalence - Your right to kill.

Just played some more WSG.

When we all get 20-something we need to play it a few times, it's too damn fun to pass up.

All this effort to set this up.. and it's doomed to die in 3 weeks max.

You stopped playing yer guy.

Grief & Glory

I still like "Thirteenth Key"

I also like Doomed. Burning Region makes me feel funny in a bad way.

I Hate WSG....Alliance acks like a bunch of cocks every time I go in. They suck, and it's a waste of my time.

EDIT: Typos are fun.

Heh, I still come out on top.  It's real fun.

Will be more fun on Horde side though Straz, promise :p

I love this idea

Haven't stopped playing though.

Where'd you move to?

He's playing on the PvP/CAd etc server for constant action, I believe.

MrHat - Shaman (if we need it) (gnomer eng)

Straz - Rogue / Warlock

Stray - Mage / Hunter / Warlock

Shuggles - Warrior (gobo eng)

Der Helm - Warlock

Haemish - Rogue / Hunter

Morph - UD Warrior / Shaman

Lt.Dan - Priest / Shaman

Flood - Mage

Dren - Mage / Rogue

Poco - Warlock

Driakos - Tauren something / UD Warlock

Soukyan - Rogue / Mage

We've also got some people from Morph's crew.

Quite a bunch, might actually have some people to group up with until the 20's.

"Doomed"  or "Doomed to Death" I guess.

I miss anyone?

85 HK's last night from questing in Ashenvale. A very big "Fuck you" to the PA fans I ganked. Douchebags.

210 HK's in WSG last night in 1 hour of playing.  1025 honor points at L34.

How the hell did you get 210 HK's? Each WSG is like 20 minutes at least....

2 WSG's.  The time is exagerated, must've been more like 2hours.

Edit:  Replace 2 WSG's with yesterday, and 2 hours with 6 hours.

Double Edit: This news just in, I'm a dirty liar.

I just went in to try some WSG....never again.

Haha, it will be better on the Horde side!

Hey I'll start a guy on a PVP-RP server.

Though, instead of Burning Region, we should be an all Tauren guild, and call it: Mookakke.

If not,  undead warlock for me.  Haven't tried warlock yet.

Found this site. Seems to be full of your typical snobby RPer type. Just thought some of you might be interested.

http://www.pvprp.com/

Side note, the Morphiend that posts there is NOT me.

Yes, I've been posting on that site (and its predecessor www.wow-ra.com ) as Zetor for a while. It IS basically an "RP Police" site of sorts (which I heavily dislike as an RPer), but I do intend to keep up with it, if only to get info about events, guilds, etcetera.


-- Z.

I know this has already gone 4 pages, and I might hop on board the RP server as well....But it needs to be said: RPing is about the last thing worth taking seriously in WoW. Even if all of the interferences that grate on rp'ers were gone, it's still pretty shallow to begin with.

The way I see it, we don't need to RP in guild chat.  But let's keep the semblance of it when talking with others.

Unless you want to RP a Korean MinMaxer, then, more power to you.

You're serious?

When I see someone doing something cool, I enjoy playing along, but I'm not going to do it because someone told me I have to.

I'm going to arr pee Morphiend and kill you all.

Just do like I do.  Play a mute and just flip everyone off every 2 minutes.  RP is easy!

I agree.  I'm not going to RP, but I also never use "Say" or public channels, so nobody will have any reason to complain about me.  If you are going to require me to RP in guild, tell, or group channels, I'm out.

Not what I meant at all.

"When I see someone doing something cool, I enjoy playing along", is more like what I meant.  I'm having a hard time forming proper thoughts these days.  I don't want people who are RP'ing to feel like we're raining on their parade.

I meant, throw a "Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnssssssssssssssssssss" everynow and then :p

Jesus H. Christ, I'm the least RP amongst us.

You'll be married, soon.  I'm sure your lovely wife will clear those thoughts right up for you.  That's what we do best.

I agree with Hat about RP. We dont have to be big RPers to enjoy the server. Its just the kind of people who are attracted to RP servers are usually a bit more mature. Or even if they are not, I would still rather listen to Stormrider Dragonsbane saying "thee, and Thou" over Ilikepee or or Humanpriest saying things like "i pwn u nub" and "u r gay".

We just can throw in a few little RP things in general chat every now and then and we should be fine. I am looking forward to it.

Admit it.  "Clear" in that sentence really meant "Create." Eh? Eh?

I find myself saying, "What do you think, honey?" far too often these days.

FIFY

I am a roleplay addict so as soon as you guys set up, let me know.

Haemish, I'm sorry.

I wish I had the energy to tell you to bite me. But I'm far too sad today. So, eh.

I'm sorry too. :(

Ahem, try being married for several decades.  A wife that "roleplays" isn't a bad thing.

lol Dren.

I'll play on the PVP-RP server when it goes live, MrHat, so add me to the list please. Thanks.

Any idea what class?

I nominate SuperPopTart, Haemish, or Rasix to lead the guild.

Their socialising skills are much better than most. 

Your new avatar sucks.   :evil:

I'd suggest Haem, honestly.  He's level headed, plays enough, and won't be in France when this thing likely opens up.  You wouldn't like me when I have the power to punish people for being stupid little crochpheasents, which seemed to happen numerous times on Moonrunner.

I'm looking to try Undead/Rogue (sounds fun and I've never tried it out or Troll/Mage as I've never played the Troll quests yet.

Troll and Orc had a lot of overlap when I tried a Troll. And you don't want to play a troll on a RP server. Trust me.

I think the only thing I could live with in rp terms is Tauren. They've kind of got a Native American thing goin' on, so that's cool. Sadly, most other "roleplayers" who play Taurens will just do something like "MOOOO!!! Me Beefy!", which will then provoke me to grief them with constant /duel or /trade invites.

The game is already un-encouraging to begin with, and while RPing can make things a lot more interesting, the truth is that most people suck at it. Just like acting, you've got to have something to work with.....So don't expect me to do it much. When I say "I'll do it when I see someone doing something cool" I mean "I'll do it maybe once a month or so."

[edit] Umm..Wow. I just managed to come off as an rp snob in that post, and at the same time said "No, I'm not going to rp."

Having played in a fairly RP-active guild/alliance in DAoC, I can say that not all RP is bad. I don't mind it and I can see having a good time as a Tauren especially in a Tauren-only or Tauren-heavy guild.

I second Haemish.

All in favor, say AYE

I say "YES" because I'm not rp'ing a Dwarf or 16th century Englishman atm.  :-P

Zugzug.

Moo.

I vote for PopTart or Rasix,  because guild leaders should always be women.  And, anyway, I suspect Haemish wouldn't want the job.  I could be wrong... it's not like SB or anything. 

I'm usually wrong about stuff.

Rasix is a woman? And an old school UO PK to boot?

Heh, gimme a break.

[edit] The Mifune avatar works wonders on my perception too.

[edit] Oh wait, it's Egg Shen now. Either way, same effect.

Funnily enough I'd prefer some tool emoting assrape on my corpse while yelling "PWNED N00B" over and over and over again if the alternative is some RP fag calling me "thou". RP done well is ok, though still not for me, RP done bad just pisses me off no end. Although I might make an alt with you guys just for shits and giggles. If I do I'd be undead and either a mage or a rogue. RPing a bitter over death skeleton who hunts the living out of spite and sport sounds easy. Not decided if I will yet.

PS: I thought Rasix was a guy?

EDIT: Also, I'd prefer to join whatever server that linked community joins. They sound like they'd be fun to gank.

Yesterday I was dead, today I'm a skirt, what's next? Slumbering elder god?  :cthulu:

My subscription ended today. I'm not sure if I'll re-sub now or wait until the RP-PVP servers are announced more fully.

I knew I was right, I shall never doubt myself again.

/y 122 122

Wow, miss a day and get nominated to lead a guild.

I'll do it, so long as no one expects anything like active guild leadership that coordinates events, tries to make sure everyone is having fun, or fights with other guild leaders and guildies over who gets what lewtz. If you want a leader who is and will be a total rampaging douchebag when people get pissy and a completely silent, almost soloing non-entity at other times (and who misses half the guild chat when on), I'm your man. Or cow. Or corpse, depending on what I play.

My first response to even the slightest bit of what I think is guild drama will be to kick everyone involved out, because I'm entirely too pissy, mean and tired to deal with soap opera dramatics from anyone. Except on weekends when I've gotten my sleep.

If I play a Tauren, it'll be as a giant mancow who wishes to have sex with everything smaller than him, which is pretty much most humanoids. Horncow, maybe. If I play an undead, it will be a zombie searching the world for his lost genitals.

Wow.. you a guild leader, version 2.0

You'd be a good leader.

I'd cause lots of drama for you.

If you guys made Haemish your leader, I'd join up just to witness the fireworks. It'd be funny because any interaction with other guilds and people would think H was just one of those browbeating egocentric twats like Furor, without realizing the hate was coming from a position 180 degrees counter to that mindset.

I am not sure how Haemish would even be thought of in the same doucheosphere as Furor. Actually, he's a good leader and if you knew him at his onset of guild leading, you'd be thoroughly impressed. He used to love leading raids and such and the runnings on of a guild.

That is, until he met Everquest.

And despite his hate he's still a fairly unabrasive guy. Imagine that. Keepin' it humble for the masses. I'm so proud.

My campaign promise as guild leader is to outdo the douche intensity of Furor. I firmly beileve I can achieve levels of douchebaggery he hasn't even dreamed of. For entirely different reasons, of course.

I didn't mean by anyone IN the guild.  The apoplexy he'd have after having to deal with WOW_nubtard_guildleader_2009 would cement his infamy.

I played SB with Haemish. I know he's a good guy.

Excellent!  The days of even being IC in SB must be fading... thank God.  Haemish is a actually a wonderful leader.  Before SB exploded, we had a great time following his big barbarian butt around.

Yeah, I remember the days of HD with Haemish as one of the leaders. Was good times..... SB.exe DAMNIT!

Anyway, Signe, "There is no spoon"

Hey Haem, SPT stole my gloves from that last raid and she never heals me.  I should get 500 DKP for that don'tchathing?  Either that or a public apology sung to the melody of "My Sharona" over team speak! (The Knack)

*Starting the drama before we even start the guild*

There is no spoon?

DREN STOLE MY LEWTZ!, make him pay. I am owed lewtz plz thkz.

Awww I'll sing for you. Anytime! Like right now.. I wanna sing:

COPA CABANA

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

And I know ALL the lyrics..

Frightened?

But can you sing it to a rastafar beat yo?

You must be a fantastically fun drunk.

Edit: It seems I was the one that was drunk!

MrHat lies!!  I never sang Copa Cabana!!!

Give me lewtz to remedy the pain I've been caused by this accusation!!!

The first person says the words "DKP" gets thrown out the airlock.

Everyone rolls on everything and that's that.

I finally worked up the willpower to reinstall WoW, so I'm in.  Going with either a Mage or a Shaman

You don't want to spend hours every night tending the spreadsheet?  It's a great way to hold power over your underlings though!

"10 points from Griffendor Mister Potter!"

I think I'll be making a Shaman instead (Hello, my name is John Smith). Not sure whether it'll be Orc or Tauren though.

MrHat - Shaman (gnom eng)  "Pax"

Straz - Rogue "Strazos" / Warlock "ZhaZha"

Stray - Shaman

Shuggles - Warrior (gobo eng)

Der Helm - Warlock

Haemish - Rogue / Hunter

Morph - UD Warrior / Shaman  "Morv"

Lt.Dan - Priest / Shaman

Flood - Mage "Geiss"

Dren - Mage / Rogue

Poco - Warlock

Driakos - Tauren something / UD Warlock

Soukyan - Rogue / Mage

Velorath - Mage / Shaman

We've also got some people from Morph's crew.

"Doomed"  or "Doomed to Death" I guess.

I miss anyone?

Also, Haemish might still be recovering from the storm when the servers hit, so we'll just do a group thingy for the leadership, basically, whoever gets the money to make it will make it nad give everyone officer rights.

Edit: Adding names, they're loose though since they might be taken.

MrHat - Shaman (gnom eng)

Straz - Rogue / Warlock

Stray - Shaman

Shuggles - Warrior (gobo eng)

Der Helm - Undead Warlock/Priest

Haemish - Rogue / Hunter

Morph - UD Warrior / Shaman

Lt.Dan - Priest / Shaman

Flood - Mage

Dren - Mage / Rogue

Poco - Warlock

Driakos - Tauren something / UD Warlock

Soukyan - Rogue / Mage

Velorath - Mage / Shaman

We've also got some people from Morph's crew.

"Doomed"  or "Doomed to Death" I guess.


I need at least 2 characters, thanks to the rest system

Another thing to add to the list would be the names of characters. So we know who is who once the server goes live.

I will be "Morv"

Character will be "Geiss"



Most every character I have is named Geiss FYI if someone is lurking around on another server.

A rogue will be Strazos, and a warlock will be Zhazha.

Yeeesh, by the time this server launches my interest will have probably waned.  What is it now? 2 weeks since the announcement?  Don't they know about ADD?

It's np Lt.D, I'll take you off the list if you don't want to play.

Keep me on the list too, but if it isn't here in 2-3 weeks time, I'll probably settle on another server (if I'm playing at all).

Hell, if it isn't here in 2 weeks, I won't bother, as my account closes down October 15th.

Ya, I hear you guys.

Feel good about next week though, have a few days off in the mid week.

I found a good logo for our guild.

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a32/Valdsthegreatest/Drama.jpg)

In looking over the list, I can see a possible lack of warriors.

I would be willing to play one. The warrior I played previously soloed mostly, and never got to truely tank much.

If I roll warrior, it will be a Tauren named Hoofenstein....or Tizor, if the former is taken.

Better you than me.  I haven't had any desire to play a tank since I played DAOC.

Tanks can be fun if they have someone else to at least duo with.

I really don't want people picking classes based on what it looks like we need.

Play something that you want to play.  The rest will follow suite.

Besides, shamans can tank just fine :p

I actually like tanking in WoW just fine, but quit my other warrior because soloing is lame.

I haven't played a Warrior in WoW so maybe they're fun.  Playing an Armsman in DAOC though just soured me on the idea of playing a class that has the primary function of being beaten on.

Edit:  The upside to making characters based on what the guild needs though is a better chance of being needed for a group, and a better chance of getting the good drops for your class, as opposed to if you're one of a half dozen mages for example.

Im going to be a Warrior. I will be a Agi/dps spec. But I can still tank. Also, If we are short on anything its Druids and Priests.

Yup, druids and priests.

Actually surprised there's no priests considering they're pimp in PVP.

Honestly, I don't care if we have 20 shaman in the guild, I still plan on having a good time.

It's all I can really promise.  Really.

I agree with what Hat is saying.  Everyone should just play what they want, with the goal to be...fun.

That being said.  Some classes really blow to solo regardless of level.  I actually quite enjoyed being a Priest, in the instance/raid/questing times.  Having to grind or try and hard level solo after 55 (on a PvP server) is anti-fun, since there are Honor farmers everywhere that are at the level cap with great gear.  It becomes almost impossible to do anything alone after 50ish.

So sure I would play another Priest (or a more durable Druid) but only if it seemed like there were some of us on everytime *I* logged in, which may not fit into the style of playtime we plan on going with.


Just mentioning, and keeping the thread alive.

Actually, after I said I was going to be a Shaman, I considered the idea of Warrior too. Maybe I'll do that instead.

Druids are supposedly getting worked on in 1.8 aren't they?  I haven't played either class past 20 nor have I done much PVP so I'm not sure how good they are later on.  I did find the Druid to be pretty fun to play though.  As far as soloability  goes, I haven't played on a PVP server, so how viable is soloing in the upper levels without enemy groups running by and killing you on a regular basis (I imagine it depends a lot on server balance)?

And part of the fun for me in playing in a guild as opposed to solo (which I do a lot of on another server), is playing a useful role in that guild.

Honestly, if we all play, I doubt there will ever be a time when someone isn't on to help out.  And since it's a PVP server, I sure as hell hope that we'd help each other out (babysitting) so that you don't get WTFPWNED by someone on a mount.

Also, I'm all for getting more peeps to join up from inside the game.  Recruiting and the such.  Just tell them the website, and to register up, then we'll take 'em in.  Or if you have friends or whatever that want to roll some alts.

By the time I hit 26 or so, I'll probably just run WSG until peeps catch up or something anyways.

I ran a priest on Moonrunner. I love my priest...but I don't think I could do it again.

I love you priest too.

It's actually the second priest I've run...I don't think I could go a third time.

Again showing that I have spent too much time with WoW, the very first characteter I rolled was on Archimonde.  I won't go into why I initially thought joining that particular server was a good idea at release (lol), or why I left but HEY yes I have a 44 Tauren Druid there just gathering dust.

My experience with my Druid and fighting them as a Priest: 

- Low DPS made for slow levelling.
- Having access to a talent(s) that let you hide/move at will was very useful on a PvP server.
- You heal really well.  And if you spec Restoration you heal argueably as well as an equal level Priest.
- You are durable.  You can take a few hits with Bear, add in the heals and the roots you will at least get away.  I'd rate Druid's overall survivabilty score as great.
- Dunno about 1.8 but the recent Dev examination of Animal Form talents has really been good to Druids.  You can offtank as Bear no sweat. (Usually)
- Did I mention low DPS?


And Stray - I played my Priest from 30ish - 55ish with a co-worker playing semi-regularly as a Warrior.  Again briefly in my experience I thought Warriors were bad ass in PvP, most especially after the revamp they got awhile back.  My buddy was Protection spec for a good while, then went Arms and back again.  He was useful/viable/dangerous as both specs in both PvE and PvP.  Flipside of that was I can easily see that playing/levelling a Warrior solo would suck majoris.  ANY class to help supplement your DPS or hitpoint pool would speed things up.


   

I am going to name my character: Meifumado

I am still torn wether I want to level a Shaman, Warlock or Mage.  I've gotten a Shaman and a Mage to 30, both were fun, but I'm real curious about the Warlock thing.  They look like they have a metric fuckton of options.

Druids are really badass in PVP these days. Well, a well played one. They take a bit more skill than some classes, but they are very group and solo friendly.  A feral specced druid can solo very well from what I have been told.

Yeah, I like 'em. It's the only class that I've really played for an extended period of time (never maxed a character yet though), and I don't mind rolling another if I have more people to play with.

As for Archimonde, I initially was there too, until I realized that the much touted PvP wasn't going to be anything special. Some of the best SB guilds that I knew were there and all that, but for the most part, it was a lot of people from SWG who "owned Bria" or something.  :roll: After that, I rolled another warrior on Morph's server, but soon moved to a PvE server with rl friends (and made yet another warrior). Then I quit the game entirely.

So anyways, if I play the rp server, this would be my 4th attempt at that class...But I wouldn't mind trying again. Besides, in terms of late bloom/endgame potential, I'll probably get more benefits out of it than if I went some other route (or so it seems....?).

Shamans are pretty cool though (from what little I've played recently). There's just a few things about their endgame role that I'm left in the dark with. So I'm not sure whether I want to make one now or not.

Eh?  My warrior has soloed-up pretty well and does good DPS.  It hasn't gone up as easily as my hunter, but no class does as well as them solo for speed and damage with minimal downtime.  My priest is the one that's struggled upwards thus far.  Low DPS, even with shadow spec, plus the downtime from mana, and the expense of buying drinks rather than summoning them like mages.  Oh sure, she *survives* and can flee from a lot of fights or mix-ups that would have killed my warrior or hunter, but surviving != killing. Since druids do even less DPS I can't imagine the hell of leveling one up.

I'm attempting a druid while a friend of mine tries a rogue.  These are our "promise to level together" toons.  We both created female NE's just to see if this whole thing about people treating you nicer as a mangina thing works.

Amazingly, it does.  No doubt in my mind.

Mangina twins activate!

Oh, druid, yeah, it is tough.

When is the ETA on this server again?

Yes, I giggle just thinking about Blizzard and the word ETA. I might as well have asked how many rain drops hit my house during the hurricane.

I should be good to go for this since I figure it's probably 2-3 weeks out anyway. My Net connection has held pretty steady, much better than the phone connection.

All of the sudden, I'm enjoying CoH again. :lol: How long it'll last, I don't know..

I think you'll have plenty of time to enjoy CoH before these new WoW servers come out.

Bleh, I may not be playing anymore by the time they come out.

I'd expect the server (suspicious sayings by the CM's hint at just 1) on Thursday.

If I didnt want to play my shaman so bad, I would really care less.

Btw...also leaning towards Mage now, depending if we have someone who is going to play a warrior and be on enough.

Pounding stuff with nukes is fun.

Just sit back and make us some water bitch!

I'm considering a mage alt for when I get ahead of peeps.  I loved playing my mage, the utility is just amazing.  And it's great to just unload some raw damage when you need it.

Man, if there is only 1 server. Its going to be insanly full. We could be looking at queues again. I really hope they do at least 2.

Well if they get this going soon I'll give it a try. (So long as it's not 1 server. My god that'd be a madhouse.)  Angus or Holstein the Tauren Shaman.

no patch today it seems.

There's still a lot of people bitching that the patch isn't ready for prime time yet.

That means that they have to patch in the ability to chose an RP/PVP server, and since it's not game breaking, they are rolling it into the 1.7 patch.  It also means that once the ability to chose a server is patched in, we have to wait for the servers to actually come up.  I would expect 1 or 2 to begin, then another 1 or 2 a week later when they find that those 2 servers are causing game breaking problems for other servers.

In short, don't hold your breath.

Edit:  From this link, be sure to dodge teh stupid. (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?FN=wow-general&T=4769422&P=1)

A lot of people bitch too much.

They probably want to get blizzard to give hunters their 3% DPS on crits back.

A lot of people haven't paid attention to Blizzard's patch history in the past. 2 months is good for them. I will say it again, Blizzard makes fun games, but has no idea how to run a service.

Two RP-PVP servers tomorrow (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=4857307&p=1&tmp=1#post4857307) (9/13)

Are we still interested?

Which one?

Emerald Dream - Faggy
Maelstorm - Cool sounding

Do we want the one that sounds RP or the one that sounds PVP?

Edit: read a little on the forums in WoW, and it looks like a few 100+ guilds will be joining up on Maelstorm.  Only noise I've heard about Emerald Dream is that the PA RP guild is joining up there hordeside.

The one with the faggy name seems like it would be less likely to have a queue.

True, it also sounds like it will have the most Night Elves to kill.

On the downside, the PA-RP guild (http://www.penny-arcade.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=198004&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) will be there.

Maelstrom

Btw, do the queues still tend to be as bad as when the kiddies were on summer break?

so, 1 for Maelstorm, 1 for Emerald Dream (ED).


ED - 3
M  - 2

Edit for math.

I'm all for ED. The PA guild being there would be a bonus, imo.  While the PVP servers tend to be more balanced, I expect more kiddies on Maelstrom who will then get bored and move away as their dreams of OMGWTFPWNING RPers en-mass hit reality, thus leaving any who stick around wondering how to get an AV or a decent raid going. The PA guild being on ED would give you just  one guild of asswipes to avoid instead of multiple 100+ers.

As demonstrated by: This (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=4858616&p=1&tmp=1#post4858616).  Also, the peeps from www.pvprp.com (~600 members) are going Maelstorm.

I'm voting ED as well since ED stands for erectile dysfunction.

Who cares what that dork writes. Maelstrom has a cooler name. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

It's not like we're asking you to play on the Fairy server in FFXI or anything...

The server name doesn't matter to me nearly as much as the server performance/population.

So based on what I've read I vote ED.



P.S. - I admit ED does sound more faggy than Maelstrom.

Wow. I came up with all that just based on what I know about WOW's population and the folks who gravitate towards PVP in general.  That's frightening.

I played with the PA guild on my server. They are a decent bunch to fight against. Now the SA guilds are onces to avoide. I have been thinking of the pros and cons of each for a while.

ED - faggy name. less kiddies. Less pvp in BGs.
MS - cool name. more kiddies, more pvp, more people, = less wait for BGs.

I think ED is going to be the one. I dont really want to join a server with a bunch of 100+ member guilds starting off on it.

I know. It's just that I'd prefer the one that has a better chance of attracting more pvp minded rp'ers than not. Those people, as silly as it sounds, would gravitate towards a "Maelstrom" rather than a "Emerald Dream".

As for these other people...I really don't care what they say. It's not like they're going to be doing anything [EDIT] The l33t kiddies, I mean...Or whatever they are.

I think for now, I'll be going with a Cow Warrior.

I guess I'll see you guys tomarrow evening on ED as Hoofenstein?

Yea I don't have to head off for work until the afternoon so I'll jump on after they fire the servers up.

Unsure of name or class yet.  I have spent this interim time playing some classes I hadn't tried.  Made me rethink what I might want to play.


Anyway I'll post here or XFire people, etc. etc.

kk, ED it is.

Should we start a new thread?

Edit:  Started a new thread.

Probably should make a v2.0, "Name and Class" thread.

http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=4640.msg117045#msg117045

That was my thought. And if there are PA goons to kill, more's the merrier. So Horde then?

Ya, horde, the PA goons are horde too, so sorry.

I thought The Goon Squad was Something Awful and PA was Hidden Trash Village.

I really hope the Goons arnt on our server, there is so many of them, they totally throw the population WAYYYYYY out of wack.

The last server they where on, they had over 600 members, and it pushed the horde/alliance population over 2/1.
