I guess I was lame, my polar bear's name is Whitey. I thought about naming him Cracka. Also have a gorilla I wanted to name MrPeepers (from SNL) but WoW wouldn't let me put Mr in there so its just Peepers. |

Well I got my warrior up to 60 and he's got some decent gear now and a couple of epics that were passed to him on raids. I started playing the Warlock I created 2 years ago that I reserved the name Sulaco with. Got him to level 12 last night.
God I'm a loserAlien - 60 Rogue (epic'd out raiding character that I'm going to retire) Decimus - 60 Warrior (my new main) Gerald - 59 Paladin (been 59 for over a year haha!) Amador - 38 Hunter Sulaco - 12 Warlock All on the Alliance side on Tichondrius. |

How much do they charge monthly to play WoW these days? I had a 60 warrior on Illidan a looooong time ago. My friend is trying to get me to sign back up.

My Dwarven Hunter, Odingaard - Level 41, and his wolf pet, Beowulf, can be found running around on the Muradin server during the wee hours of the morning on select days of the week.
This is my second MMOG. I started with Dark Age of Camelot, maxed out a character with everything possible over a 4 year period. Sadly, DAOC lost most of its population when WoW came out. With no-one to play with, I dumped my DAOC account and went over to WoW. My love of MMOGs came from my love of Dungeons & Dragons years ago. Since I am older now (36) and do not have time to engage in a pencil/paper D&D campaign - I have found that MMOGs fill that little hole D&D left me with years ago. I do moderate my playing - which is something that you need to keep an eye on. Its easy to get lost in MMOGs for great lengths of time without eating or sleeping. In my opinion, WoW is an excellent MMOG with alot of people to play with at any time of the day/night. Its a good way to waste time (especially if you are deployed and your FOB has high-speed connections for your laptop!). I am personally responsible for getting about half my MP unit addicted to WoW - the oldest of which was 48-year-old Special Forces LTC, so its not just a game for kids or nerds. Its actually fitting for anyone that has an interest in combat/strategy oriented mindplay. Just play a Dwarven Hunter if you decide to play. You get to use guns! I am the Guildmaster of Knights of the Old Code - so if you decide to play, chat me up and I can set you up with some money and other items that will assist you in leveling your toon. Hope to see you around! |

Just downloaded the patch and it seems that there have been some more changes then just pvp updates. I'm not sure what to make of the warrior change, but time will tell.
I like that they are resetting everyones talent trees. I've been debating if I should respec my warrior to protection, but didn't want to spend the gold. I think I'll go protection till the expansion comes out, and see if I like it. |

Yep, all the talents are getting reset. I'm also switching my warrior to protection until BC comes out. My 60 fire mage is getting tweaked for even more fire damage. I did 25% of the raid's total damage in the last 10-man UBRS raid we did, and I think it'll go up with the new talents. |

I just got the game and it's taking forever to download all the patches. Can't wait to sucked into the abyss.
Maybe I'll just buy a level 60 mage and paladin for $2500 and get started right! cgi.ebay.com/WOW-Account-Character-60-Paladin-60-Mage-BlackRock_W0QQitemZ330058557009QQihZ014QQcategoryZ4596QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Some of you guys can make a fortune selling off your characters. |

There are some silly ppl that would pay out the rear for high lvl characters.  |

Here is a tad of advice:
Before I started my hunter, I took several different characters to level 10 (about a half-day of play) just to see if I liked them. If you are not happy with your character through level 20 - just dump it and start another or start another and try it out. Eventually, you will find something you like. It won't take long to get back where you were level-wise. Also, if you want money making professions - train in skinning, mining, and fishing right off the bat in one of the captiol cities. Using these professions and selling the goods in the Auction House, I was not only able to train all my specs and have excellent armor/weapons - but was also easily able to gross the 90 Gold needed at level 40 for the mount. |

There's got to be a market for it, but I don't see the point unless it's for PvP. Building up the character seems like most of the fun. |

Already switched back to arms spec so I could do pvp for a bit. Time to upgrade some weapons.
I hate the new LFG part of the patch. I enjoyed the older way of doing. |

This game is really addictive. I sat down to play last night about 8:00PM and the next time I looked at the clock it was 1:30AM.
I figure by the time my Druid is level 30 I'll be divorced and playing WoW from my homeless shelter.  Gotta go, I'm almost at level 10 and I need to sell off some spider parts. |
