Wrath of the Lich King.

[Jowy]

Depends the class you level. You'll have a tough time if you start off as a warrior, very gear dependent and rather difficult to solo multiple mobs. Druid, Hunter, and Rogue are the easiest classes to level in my opinion. Basically, you'll start off in a small little village, get sent on some quests to fetch x amount of y item, kill x amount of y monster, go to a cave and kill some evil guy, get sent to large city. Around level 10-12 (Horde anyway, not sure on when Alliance gets their first dungeon quests), you'll get sent off with four other people to do some group quests in a dungeon. Kill some difficult monsters, a few bosses, and get some decent equipment.

Here is a pretty well-rounded guide for those new to the game.

Looks great! !

Basically how they're making nearly all the classes OP and just calling it even.

A warrior friend of mine is pissed because they are making warriors even more useless.

Well, there is a new Fury (Or was it Arms) Talent that lets them hold a two handed weapon in one hand, so you could dual-wield two two handed weapons.

Fury gives Titan's Grip.

Titan's Grip slows your attack speed by 28% and has little-to-no viable dps due to lack of MS. I will be surprised if they don't change it or take it out completely.

Yeah my warrior friend was pissed too. He's basically devoted his life to his warrior.

Yeah, my friend is considered the best tank on the server, if not the battlegroup and has had several people from other from other battlegroups ask him to server transfer so for their guild and/or arena team. It's pretty crazy. He has the best gear in the game too, so he doesn't really know what he's doing in WotLK.

As far as leveling goes, Jowy pretty much said it. Hunters, Rogues and Druids are all capable of rushing to 70 in a very short amount of time. If you play a frost mage correctly and AOE grind the appropriate mobs without dying they are pretty fast too. Same goes for paladins if you level ret until about 35 or so and then respec to prot.

[Avarice-ness]

I am a big MMORPG guy, and will probably take my level 70 pally into WotLK just to see the new content. So, maybe if anyone needs a healer or something let me know!

As far as anything contesting WoW, I thought Age of Conan had potential... but Funcom smurfed that all up. A -very- incomplete game and they totally failed to follow through on any content or to even fix any of the most prominent bugs in it since launch. I was with it from day one, and have watched it go down hill.

I'm not familiar with Mmorpg's like World of Warcraft. What SPECIFICALLY do you do in the game? List them please and how many hours it takes, assuming you only have one character.

600 hours? ?!

> >; Everyone has different goals in WoW. Mine is to have a rogue for 2 years and never make it to level 70. Why? Because attacking newb towns is massively more fun than leveling. So are battle grounds. So is making new characters and seeing how fast you can level them within a certain amount of time. Some days, I just want a lot of gold, so I go farming for it.
One of my friends goals was to have a level 70 fully geared of each class, he has 3 classes already completed (Priest, Mage, and Warlock).

Everything > Leveling.

What's his definition of "fully geared"? Complete epics?

[Jowy]

I rage every time someone in "full epics" thinks that their Merciless set will make them better in SSC/TK.

Also, Titan's Grip's only redeeming quality seems to be BIG WHIRLWINDS, but the sheer mediocrity of a DPS warrior will never make that a viable specialization. Go prot or go home. 8-)

[Lawr]

I hate Warrior tanks. I prefer Paladins.

[Jowy]

Paladins are the kings of 5 mans, I prefer tanking as a warrior though. Lots more to do than hit consecrate and go AFK.

I finally played World of Warcraft last night. It was kinda good, but I don't know enough about the game. I spawned in "The Abbey" area. I joined a party and went to Shadowglen. The party grew to nine and then dwindled down to five.

It took an hour to get to our destination. After we reached our destination five of us were getting on a ship, but one person didn't make it in time, Funpickle. I couldn't leave him so I ran off and jumped off the ship while it was moving! It was like an epic scene from the movie. I don't know what happened to the others but I can message them. I set my character to follow Funpickle and I went to sleep. I woke up and Wow had crashed with an error message.

I stayed on for like 4 hours, because I wanted to get to the destination. What should I do in the game? I'll try later today.

I kept getting duealed by Catscratch, and Dalarin was another character, I suppose there are to many players for you to know these people? Lilgz and Leorrissia and Nevyn are some more players there.

It's not impossible for us not to know them, depending on your server.

Edit
Oh and it seems like you started off playing someone else's character, so the game may be confusing especially lingo.

[Dragonsoul]

But Catscratch kept dualing me! She kept hitting me and I was still learning how to walk properly. I jumped and stuff, I ended up defeating her later though.

I'll sign on now!

I hate Warrior tanks. I prefer Paladins.

Because the majority of the things I do are 5 mans and every class I play save one has CC potentials, I tend to prefer Paladin tanks. However, warrior tanks are just fine and are even better for a good chunk of situations. Druid tanks are imbeciles.

Paladins are the kings of 5 mans, I prefer tanking as a warrior though. Lots more to do than hit consecrate and go AFK.

Don't forget MH!

[Madame Adequate]

I don't think there is anything that really challenges WoW at the moment.

Everything else combined doesn't challenge WoW. The game has > 50% of market share.

And yeah last time I played a War MS was far from necessary, and its importance was overemphasized. But given how Blizz has a hate on for Wars I wouldn't be surprised if Fury's been nerfed to the point where the people who think Arms is the only way to go are right.

[ValkyrieWing]

It seems like i get online to do my dailies and before i know it, i'm in a 25 man god knows where.

I got pulled into SSC last night, won a bunch of loot....died once.

Raiding is so fun....by bank acount certainly dosent like it though.
