Haha I used to be a WoW fanatic. Come to think of it, what got me off of WoW was getting really into Starcraft and Call of Duty 4 :p.

I used to be a hardcore PvPer during the good old original days of WoW. When BC came out I switched more to raiding. Arenas, Battlegrounds and Resilience all ruined PvP for me since I was born and raised on world PvP. They just can't recreate the rush of world encounters on a stage, IMO. I ended up liking raiding though, my guild was ranked 2nd or 3rd Horde side most of the time and I was the rogue class leader before I quit. Before the new talent patch that basically nerfed everything we got 2 bosses into Sunwell, which I was always proud of considering we were very casual (no DKP, no harsh rules, ect.)

I was also first in line for Warglaives (I play a rogue and always have/always will) but missed the night the first and only one dropped doh!

Once WotLK came out I stopped playing entirely for a month or two. I'm a notoriously bad leveler (and extremely lazy overall!) and going from being endgame geared back to the leveling rat race again kinda ruined my motivation to play.



I recently started playing again though, mostly cause I missed all the friends I made. Everyone's 80 now so I can take my time leveling, doing whatever without getting ganked over and over. At least my T6 will last til level 80 for the most part.



TLTR: Eredar, Horde side, hit me up :p
Main: Colphyle
Alts: Conflict, Vain.

There is certainly a line past which you can class it as addiction. For the most part though, if you're raiding, you've made a commitment to doing this instance for three or four hours. You've already told 9 or 24 other people that you'll do it, and presumably they are your friends, so in that aspect you can't just run out on on them.

I ran a raiding guild from Vanilla through to the end of BC before retiring. I retired simply because those sorts of situations cropped up too often, and I felt it was affecting my RL friendships. I still play casually, mostly just to keep in touch with my game friends. I really enjoyed levelling in Wrath, and raiding is a lot of fun, but I'm not really interested in running the same raids over and over again.

I play Alliance on Greymane if anyone is on that server.

I've been playing on and off since may 2005, was never really that hardcore but I found a nice guild and while the guildname has changed once or twice I've stuck with the same people for about 3 years now. I really only play for fun but I do enjoy casual raiding (although I might not be that casual, no idea these days).

I think I'd have quit ages ago but I just like the community I ended up in, and I still have lots of fun so I doubt I'll quit anytime soon =)

I met my girlfriend through WoW, which was also why I didn't mind spending a lot of time on the game. The downside is that she played a holy priest, me a holy paladin, so we couldn't do much in game together, as you generally only need a single healer. Raids aren't really a good way to spend time with someone. Stupid attention-paying-requirement.

Eh, yes Raids are a pain in the ass. Especially when players go for smoking breaks one by one and we waste time waiting for them to return. Toilet breaks, smoking breaks, telephone calls etc* I just hate those.. -_____-"

I can respec ret/prot, but I'm nowhere near as good as I am at holy, and she was the same way. We both really didn't enjoy doing something that we're not good at. Still used to do it on occasion though.

Raiding I absolutely love. If your raiders have time to think about the bathroom, smoking etc etc then you're not pulling fast enough. I used to have specificed break times throughout the night, and everyone knew when they were, so they tried to scedule stuff in that time, rather than on my time.

If worst comes to worst though, you really don't need a full complement of raiders to clear the trash, or indeed most of the bosses. So if someone went afk, we just continued on.

Well, yes I do play a warlock, name was inspired by the fact that back at lvl 60 my old main (firemage, on the alliance side of dragonblight) always died because the silly fear effect never broke. ^^

Ironic that soon after I made the char back in vanlilla they nerfed fear effects (again), heh, good fun. Still, I liked playing the class and oh how I still do, the most fun caster to play by far. (although I hated the fact that you sort of had to go SL/SL for PVP in TBC, which killed all the fun). I really don't enjoy leveling or grinding so yeah I've stuck with this being my only max lvl character through all of TBC and it'll probably remain so through all of WOTLK and beyond. ^^

Edit: @ haduken, I think you're in the wrong thread, it's ok, happens to everyone =P

If you were talking about the other guild on Korgath you mean "drama"

They were a little better in pvp with footwerk and tigerlady,(although the person pvping on those characters isn't the same person raiding on them.)and serennia is there now. I have some pretty funny screenshots of 3-0ing serenn in 2v2 during late season 4. He was a really solid warrior, although I think I possibly met a better one. During what time were you active on this BG? I was very active all s2-s4.

On March 06 2009 16:46 enthusiast wrote:

I initially thought he meant Drama, but I didn't play 5v5, so thought maybe Dread or Overrated could meet the same description.

I played mostly 2's and 3's in season 2. I also arena'd a lot pre-BC just for fun.

On March 07 2009 01:05 Jibba wrote:

I'm not talking about arena either (although we had a bunch of top arena players, and people who left to play on Tich.) I'm talking about the most badass, curb stomping, exploiting guild in the world that trashed DnT's AB teams in lvl 52 blues, and won most of the world spawns against those three other guilds. :D

On March 07 2009 03:58 Jibba wrote:
Yeah, OR was definitely a PvP guild that enjoyed PvE with eachother (which is why it went down so quickly in BT, core members leaving and people stopped caring + no fucking hunters.) Still, this was after our ban and we decided to reroll on Korgath (during the pre-TBC honor grind). We were fresh 60s in greens and blues, and Schmitty could 1 shot us with his Deathbringer, but we still won most of the games. To be fair, they weren't the only Naxx guild we would run over. There was only one guild on the BG that knew what they were doing and could consistently kick our ass, but I totally forgot who they were.

Do you remember what server? There weren't really that many pve-progressed servers on this BG. Korgath had dnt, dread, drama, Mugthol had Damage networks and TK but I doubt either of them were who you were referring to. Maybe a chromag or hakkar guild? i dunno ahha

Midian and I play on Scilla too. We made a 2v2 and 3v3 team for fun but definitely not specced for pvp (or geared) whatsoever. I did arena season 1, got my drake and then quit for awhile. Had this char since Nov 2004.

And yes, I miss the game pre and expansion. 40 man MC raids, trying to kill Vael in BWL before she despawned after an hour... My guild was best horde side on Bloodscalp for a long time (guild name is DPS), lots of server first. First High Warlord was from my guild too. We used to get together for BBQ's each summer - people flew into NJ from all over the place. Always nice to meet guildies. The whole guild moved to Scilla and we're a bit more casual now - but the game got so easy that I think they still raid and such. Me, I'm there for the acheivements. ^^

I played a pally from a few months after launch until a few weeks after Sunwell came out. I was on Kil'Jaeden for a bit, then Korgath for the rest of the time.

When WSG came out, when BC came out, and when arenas started were probably the most fun I've ever had playing any video game. I lost interest in PvP because I figured out I'd never be able to make a PvP video with my computer, and at a high level luck and group make-up counted for too much. I lost interest in PvE because I joined the guild that I perceived as being the best in the US, and then I lost motivation and never made really good friends with any guildies. It was also just a shitty time in my life for unrelated reasons.

I thought about getting back into it for WoTLK, but I don't have much time any more and there's so much logistical work in figuring out which classes got which knew talents and skills, and which spec is the best, and which gear is the best for each spec and where it comes from. Blarg.

When WoW was pre expansions I was in the top horde guild on the server deathwing who was pretty much feared for its pvp and darn good at pve as well. Then I took a break right before naxx/AQ then just now came back seriously a month ago. I play on the blackrock server (trans my shaman from deathwing because some friends i know rolled there) and now im in a guild that is pretty open and fun and laid back (no hard core raid times etc) so im just lvling bit by bit since I cannot put too much time in as grad school is demanding.

To be honest WOTLK is ridiculously easy and there's really no challenge to it anymore Already starting to find it boring :/

We figured if we send emails to somebody at blizzard and explain the situation to them, they will probably allow me to take over control of the character on my account, since my friend basically advertised the game to me, and now I am going to buy it.
