    Hearthstone was having a deal on the game wherein if you leveled a WoW character to L20, you would get a free card. So I jumped in a leveled up a Warlock (always been my favorite class). But now I'm kinda itching to play again for a bit longer than a few days. You guys are on Earthen Ring? Anything I need to focus on playing to bolster the ranks? I'll try to hit you up in game Joe_Pesci and see what's up.

    Started a dwarf shaman, because I've never played shaman and they look to be underpopulated. Ahrkie is my name (I think, something like that). Sent a friends request to Joe. What is the guild, who should I contact in-game? Thanks!

    Well, that lasted about an hour. Do not care for shaman. I'll piddle around and see what I like.

    The guild is <Sacred>. My battletag is TheSmugOne#1639. I am having a lot of fun playing a sub rogue.

    I sent you a friends request last night, you had posted your gamertag earlier ITT. I think I'm settled on a gnome priest. Never really played either gnome or priest, we'll give it a go.

    Ok, cool. I'll check it out. I played a rogue to max level, a guy named OldRoy. They are pretty fun. Get your sneak / invis all the way to max and walk around in rival cities. I killed a dozen people or so in The Undercity before they got me.

    at one point, apparently you could order pizza online through Everquest 2, so Blizzard's April Fools joke was "Pandaren Express," which allowed you to order chinese food for deliver in-game :laugh:

    If anyone is interested...

    After my 10 days were up, my plan was to get a sub. So I wake up one afternoon (I work nights) and my Google Wallet has an alert that $xx.xx was spent at some WalMart in Indiana while I was asleep, bringing my account to zero. Naturally, I made some calls. I got my money back, but had to destroy the card. I'm waiting on my card now and should sub in a few days. I asked my wife to let me use the family card to get a sub and she just gave me that look wives give their husbands.

    Moral of the story: Don't get married.

    So, I got my sub last night and bought WoD. Spent all night playing, going from lvl 90 to lvl 92. Fuck, leveling is slow so far. Also got my garrison and I'm confused as fuck as to what to do. What should I build? How do professions work? What's with all this new currency? (Apix crystals or some shit). I tried reading some guides, but it seems they just jump right in. I don't even know what to build. Looks like Lumber Yard and Trading Post generate resources, so that sounds good. I think.

    So, any help as to what to do would be appreciated.

    wowhead usually has good guides. this is their garrison one http://www.wowhead.com/news=241230/...raenor-buildings-plots-followers-missions-and

    there's a lot of stuff there, but just from skimming, it seems pretty thorough

    It doesn't yet. Will in August.
    I was in the same boat. You just have to think of it as another game now with a lot of the same mechanics and lore. I started a Paladin, and zerged him to ~level 60 just running dungeons. It was insane. I remember doing quests and exploring the world and taking a week to get to level 20. Getting to level 40 and FINALLY getting you mount. Dinging level 60 (level cap) in Stratholme like a boss. Now, you can get level 60 in less than a week. Hell, when you purchase the expansion, you can create a character, press a button, and jump him to level 90 in an instant. Level 100 when the new xpac comes out in August. The end game is the ONLY game now. But, the end game has some cool shit. Garrisons will blow your mind. I'd resub, if for no other reason to experience the New WoW.

    There is a tremendous amount of lore and fun in the questing at all levels. I've seen all of it, and the end game content (raiding with friends) is what keeps me there. I love new expansions. The feeling of new lore and new zones gives me that vanilla feeling.

    Blizzard is going to be shutting down all legacy servers soon because they are going into the legacy server business...

    Alliance


    Make a "Burning Crusade" folder on your desktop, go here and download their client to that folder http://www.excalibur-server.com/

    When that finishes downloading, open folder, and go the the realm list file.. make it say this:

    set realmlist logon.vengeancewow.com


    Create account on the Vengeance site, and good to go

    Me and friedskillet rolled a couple on Emerald Dream, wanted a well balanced PvP server and that one seemed to be the best option. You should make one on there and level with us... We're both rogues ><
