High server population be damned!
Got all three of my names on Herod/Horde. UD Priest - Millionaire UD Warlock - Billionaire Orc Warrior - Trillionaire One of the three will be my main, most likely the priest but I'll decide that on launch day. |

Missed this in the news release - can only create a max of three characters today on a classic WoW server. After launch, will be able to create more. So mine on Pagle thus far are: Human Warrior - Hatemonger (will be my main) Dwarf Paladin - Bubblebabe Undead Warlock - Breman And what is Grievance(.com)? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Got logged in to Pagle and after making one character tried ot make another but got a message stating I "had the maximum number of characters allowed for this account." So I tried to make chars on Atiesh, but sat at the wait screen for >30 minutes. Relaunched the game several times while leaving the first instance up and finally got logged in. Went to Pagle and got booted after first character. Got back on and was able to make #2 and #3. So I have Istabyou, Harleyquin and Healzor. 
Not necessarily what I planned, but at least I got something. I may try for better names on launch or just go with it and not care. BTW, I'm looking at signing up for Grievance(.com) for a Pagle alliance PVE guild. Looks pretty good so far. So mine on Pagle thus far are: Human Warrior - Hatemonger (will be my main) Dwarf Paladin - Bubblebabe Undead Warlock - Breman And what is Grievance(.com)? |

For EST PvP players, they just opened up another realm - Stalagg. I got a couple names there (deleted the priest)

I reserved some names on Mankrik but I'll make some alts if the Arfcom clan settles on a particular server. I expect there's gonna be a lot of reorganizing within a month of launch.
I played from Vanilla to BC and a little bit of WotLK, but rarely did 40 man raids; wasn't willing to invest that much time. Probably will be the same way for Classic. I *loved* AV and largely resubbed for that battleground. I was shocked to see what retail WoW has become. There are so many mounts now that the "prestige" of earning a rare one is gone. Chat channels are absolutely barren, even in the Barrens, heh. I can stand in Org for hours and not see anyone talking except the spammers. They seem to have lost a lot of the social aspects of the game, which were one of the largest draws for me. But mostly I'll just be glad for no pandas. |

Made three characters on Pagle. Although I wanted to join a PvP realm, there are about 5 of us at work that are going to play when it drops and everyone else wanted a PvE realm. I still may give Herod a shot once it all settles down.

Decided to change my main from a human warrior to a dwarf warrior. Humans are kinda boring IMO, I played one before and I wanted to play a dwarf this go-round, but also I suspect the human starter area will be vastly more populated on launch week than the dwarf/gnome starter area. Name is still Hatemonger. Will be my main on Pagle.

I know there was a reason to play human over dwarf - was it weapon skill? The argument is stoneform isn't as usefull over gear & skill. Reality, one of the best MTs I saw was a gnome. Play the class and racials are minor. |

Yes and no. I've been reading about that and the general consensus is that unless you are going to be an alliance warrior (especially a MT) in a top-tier guild that is pushing the envelope and going for server firsts or speed runs the +5 to swords and maces racial that humans get won't make any difference at all. Remember, horde races don't get that +sword/mace racial and horde warriors and guilds do exceedingly well raiding, so the racial really isn't the advantage some people make it out to be. Picking a race should be because you like it, the history of it, the ambiance of its starter area, the mounts you get, the look etc. The racials really aren't in and of themselves something that at end-game make much, if any, of a difference.

Dwarf priest (undead last time), human rogue (formerly NE), gnome mage (formerly human) and NE druid (never played one until worgen was an option).
I'm not satisfied with my dwarf name yet - its currently the same I used in retail for my dwarf paladin who never made it past the 70s - so I may play around in the character creator if I get inspired with some ideas. |

Both my kids, son almost 15 and daughter is 13.5, are gamers. Son almost exclusively plays on his Switch but does some Minecraft on his tablet. Daughter just plays on her tablet (mostly Minecraft and a game called Animal Jam) and some on her Chromebook, but since they aren't Windows-based they are very limiting on gaming options. I'm sure they might game more if they had a Windows-based PC, but I don't wan't to give them another reason to spend more time staring at a screen. Don't know if I would want my kids gaming with me, honestly. That's kinda my "me" time to get away from it all. Quote HistoryQuoted:

As Classic WoW launch nears it looks like the mod community is ramping up. Been a ton of chatter over at r/classicwow about a LFG mod and it looks like the Devs have indicated they oppose its use (see message below).
Got me to thinking about when I played Vanilla and all the mods I used (questing mods, auction house mods, raid and threat mods, etc.) and how with each patch many (most) those mods wouldn't function properly until they were updated, which sometimes could take days or weeks or never if the mod's author stopped supporting it. I'm thinking of playing this go-round without any 3rd party mods, or at least seeing how long I can go without using any. Anyone plan on using mods from the get-go, or leaving mods aside for a while?  Attached File |
