Does anyone know if WoW can be installed and played on Vista? I've been thinking of buying it but, I'm not gonna spend my money if it won't work on Vista.

I have no idea, but if you do play hit Jebus or Jowy up and they'll hit me up and we can run around and annoy people.


My goal in WoW is to hang out in the Barrens chat.
..I need a life. :(

I did a little Googling, and it seems that World of Warcraft does run on Vista. However, performance is sometimes slower in Vista than in XP.

Not that that should wreak your fun, or anything. :cool:

I'll do that if you powerlevel me. <3 I'm an awesome mage.

It should work if it doesn't the game should have warranty right?

I don't see why not, people have even gotten FFXI to work and that game is terrible in terms of compatability. I'm actually suprised WoW even works on Mac.

And yeah, roll Horde. I have a Lv.20 Troll Hunter at the moment, with some friends that used to play FFXI with me. <3

And uh, about warranty. I don't think many stores are going to take it back unless it's sealed. Because once you register it with the serial key, you can't make any other accounts with it, so they don't take it back.

I'm starting to feel that I -should- roll my lvl 40 to Draka so I could be the cool one. xD

WoW is just no fun after 2 years of Guild Wars.

WoW is just no fun after 2 years of Guild Wars.

I only like Guild wars 'cause if you don't want people annoying you while you quest you don't have too.

Like one day I was running around just running 'cause I do that sometimes, and this lvl 28 whispered me and was like "Will you help me kill Frostmaw? *GROUP INVITE*" "*ignore and continues running*" "Hello?" "*still ignoring*" "WTF is your problem, You can't spare like 2 minutes out of your precious life to come kill this thing for me" then angry ranting. I just don't believe in people thinking that you'll kill something 9 lvl's higher than you so you can get EXP and then have to wait for the follow up quest because you're so low lvl.

But what I do like is how when I am social I can just run around happily helping people for no reason. Or in me and my friends case, hiding in bushes and offering people silver if they find us. xD

I like the openness when it comes to fooling around, but not when it comes to idiots and quests. :razz:

Yeah I do like randomly meeting cool people while wondering but that will be so in Guild Wars 2 since it will be a persistant world.

This happens to me from time to time, but mostly it is strictly duel related from same faction folks. I tend to ignore it and then bad mouth them with friends of mine for funny results. Yesterday I got called a punk!

Gotta take the good with the bad though.

Jowy, I might start one if I can be bothered. I'm not really much for Horde play, but lemme get your name just in case I decide to start one. I still have to keep up with my main, my lock alt and my new warrior alt, so I dunno how I'll exactly divide the time.

Neat. I'll start a Blood Elf Mage today and play a little bit. I should be able to hit 10 within an hour. Just so you know, I'm a crazy mage. I like blasting things and taking damage. I have no understanding of "mana conservation". :P Though I may go Ice or Arcane/Fire. My main is a fire mage so I don't care for another. We'll see :o

That works out. I usually get off work at 2-2:30, so it'll give me time to level up my mageling. Plus I have an hour at lunch to grind out some levels. Teeheee. But now I have to decide what kind of hair I want.

DAMN THESE DECISIONS.

We die because I like to aggro things by mistake and Priphea sucks at being on defensive. I used TEH ALCHEMY!!11 to make some potions last night though so I kind of have a panic button now! 8-)

Excellent. Just PST me when you get on and we'll get some hot hot group quest action going on.

If you haven't made it yet, I'm in the process of leveling my mage up. I hit 7 after about 30 minutes or so, not too far ahead. We can go ahead and level together. :P

Naturally, since vista requires more resources than a premodonna material girl just to run studder like a special olympic champ. If you want speed and reliability, stick to XP. OR you can use linux and wine. I was able to do this with wow, but it was a pain in the ultimate ass.

I have a freaking mount. This is a big moment for me.

My roommate and I play on Azgalor. I have characters on a bunch of other servers, though, none of which are very high.

I have a bright green raptor. xD I wanted one of the flamboyant chocobo's but I was to lazy to get myself loved in Elf world, seeing as I'm a troll. xD

Only 10 lvl's til my elf can have one though! Hooray!

Hey look, it's a chocobo! Haha, congratulations.

I just got my Troll hunter to level 22, his name is Omecle on Steamwheedle Cartel US. I know, it's RP but I have a few friends from FFXI playing there and their guild isn't just RP'ing. So I'm having fun.

For one, horde sucks, two, Guild wars is for the weak, and three, lvl 62 druid on Azjol-Nerub ftw!
I don't plan on getting vista anytime soon so I don't think i'll have to worry.

Yeah, that's the only reason my main server is RP - my friends started there. xP But it's atleast nice to more people type normally there on Rp servers than on other servers... :x But I like to stab people more than converse with people so... >3
