    Default World of Warcraft Help Thread

    Saw other threads on WoW but they haven't been posted in for awhile, so I thought I would make this thread. Wanted to see if people would post some builds, advice for new players, or just some helpful tips they have found on their travels in WoW. I really don't have anything myself to post except for I think the new race for the expansion is just an april's fools joke. They are wisps if anyones curious.

    You dont really need help with builds in this game.

    I do know a kickass Priest Solo build though

    I've got some advice:

    Play as a female Night Elf and flirt with nerds until they give you money and stuff.

    another tip is, most of the time a girl will be a dude.

    for example, my uncles friend named Lance is called Deadly Babe (daggerspine server), lawl.

    I play male and female characters alike. I make damn sure that everyone knows I am a dude; simply put, a 15 year old humping your leg makes for a long day. To experience all i could, I made a male and female member of every single race. that gices me 8 characters per relm. There are 8 classes. So in essence, I have one male and one female of every race, and one of ever class in each realm. I play for content though, so I am an anal bastage about this.

    My advice is to play for fun, as it doesn't seem like a good power-player game. Reasearch www.worldofwarcraf.com to see what proffession\class combos are usefull, and use thier tallent builder.

    Do all the quests you can, many times you may skip one because it is green\grey, when they will lead to a great epic quest or whatever else.

    Definatley take up a profession, if you do not feel like makeing stuff, take two gathering proffessions and sell items at the auction house.

    Join a guild, and be active. Don't participate in your own level grind if you are getting short on the game. Go out and help others, or dablle a little pvp.

    Overall, this is the best rounded mmo I have found to date. A little of everything to enjoy, but no single entitiy makes it great. Just enjoy it all, and you will be sitting well with the game.

    I have a not so good internet connection (satellite, good for dl stuff but not great to play online games) is there anything I can do to improve my latency? I always seem to have a red bar, I mean the game still plays well, but in times of pvp in wsg or when there's alot of aoe's going on, it starts to lag quite a bit. Not really sure if there is anything that I could do to improve this, the only really thing I could think of was to go on a server with low pop. Anyone else have any ideas? Btw, getting dsl or something faster is out of the question right now, because we live in the country and thats the only thing available at the moment.

    I don't think bandwith is going to be a huge issues lest you hove below 56k. Packaet integrity would be more of an issue in your case.

    If your hardware can handle it, you should be fine. MMO packets are sparatic and minmal - very low bandwith-friendly.

    I\'m not sure of the exact speed of my connection (I believe its like 1.5 Mbps) but with it being satellite and everything I\'m not sure how that will affect it. Hopefully going to a low population server will make my speed better

    Does anyone know if anytime in the future there are going to be server changes? Thunderlord sucks, and I would rather to go Nathrezim.

    Shouldn'nt affect it in any way, really. Depends all on packet stability, and if its raining out ><

    Retarded, you should play Alleria Alliance > all
