PC World of Warcraft - Including Classic

[Nostradumbass]

I caved in >< Some of my original guild contacted me, a bunch of them are playing again. Downloading it now

 

[Selim]

honestly a real good first day got to lvl 15 happy with that

 

[dwwaino]

Finally made it in around 10:30, so I got a good hour and a half in. Dicked around with my addons for a bit and just made it to level 6. Going to try and setup remote desktop so I can log in earlier tomorrow and not have a repeat of tonight. Need a few solid sessions as half the guild have already steamed ahead (they had the day off though).

Got my mage to 11 and my shaman to 6 with the wife and her warrior at 6.

Jeez some of the streamers have been playing 24 hours straight and are around level 25...

Watching them doing RFKs and Shadow Fang keep looking like its a raid with its difficulty lol.

Also love their choice of old school music, nostalgia plus!

I’am too scared to jump in. I’ll get fat, lazy and stop being social. This game is bad for my Heath and sleep ..

Arugal queues are already 2k+. Time to try out this chrome remote desktop thingamybob.

Who needs those things when you've got WoW? I might have only got 5-6 hours sleep last night but in my real life I'm currently pretty well rested in the inn at Razor Hill.

 

[dwwaino]

Yay remote desktop worked. Lucky too, already a queue of 4.5k!

 

[iBeng]

Got my first cross WORLD quest at...13.

How good is it joining parties for things and interacting with people again. I was struggling with a quest, some lock showed up and we partied then went our separate ways. We kept running into each other post that and would always /wave. I was in another party where we were deep in a cave then got surrounded by respawns and wiped. Twice. We just laughed it off and made a plan. It's simply an MMO again. Blizzard can polish retail all they want but it's the simpler, yet more cooperative style that the players want.

Too easy to get bogged down and side tracked. By the Barrens I still hadn't found a 2h axe upgrade and of course the starter one wasn't really cutting it by then. I had a green 2h sword but had to trek to UC to get the training for it and then had to level the thing (a few deaths...). Finally scored a decent 1h axe from a warrior class quest and had to level that too (some more deaths...). I feel like I'm a level behind my quests though despite doing everything. Might have to hit up RFC for a level or two.

Skinning seems fairly handy for levelling coin. A couple stacks of light leather is a few silver. Trailers are making a killing off linen bags at the moment.

To the uninitiated, what's the difference between classic and retail?

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Ok, I caved and downloaded it last night... admittedly i don’t remember a lot from back in the day.. is that bitch hogger still wiping people in the newb zone.

IF... I do jump in, what server y’all on ?

Everyone just give up on Arg and come to felstriker - more and more queue are moving over.

I moved over there yesterday, it's completely dead.

 

[dwwaino]

I agree, everyone go to Felstroker, or even Yojimbo

To the uninitiated, what's the difference between classic and retail?

The game in its most original and basic state. It is simpler in terms of content but a far steeper difficulty and learning curve which encourages socialising. It also feels more connected to the Warcraft universe if you come from the original RTS games. Retail now is optimised for casual and solo play.

Cool bananas

Maximum Realm Capacity Increased – August 28

With hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have...

Arugal at 4.5k already again as of 15 minutes ago if anyone is looking at queuing via remote desktop.

Work for the government, can't remote desktop from my work PC or use a personal laptop at work. FML should have called in sick again lol.

Pain now gain later, low pop servers will really feel the pain when numbers drop away and they become Ghost Towns. Plus all my friends are already on Arugal.
