so is it a skunk?

My server Illidan, has peaks of up to about 2,000 in que every night, if you arent on around 3 hours before peak time, dont plan on getting on, i dont really see any rediculous drop of subs like you say, where do you get the 500k subs dropping anyway? lol and everyone predicted aoc would fail, take your prophecy elsewhere.

Wow has recently changed. They've gotten 11 million members, so there is no more customer support.

They installed a patch, and everything is still broken.

They totally nerfed Rogues, stole racial spells, added worthless spells, completely changed the ways pallys and hunters play.

They removed healing bonus completely, now yer specced for dps whether you like it or not if you're a healer.

They totally downgraded everyone's class to make room for "improvements" in the $40 expansion. So that's $20 for the orginal, $30 for the first expansion, and $0 for the newest expansion, plus $15 a month, FOR NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL, and encouragement to the gold farming and ganking griefers. I could get that for free in some game from Korea that encourages gold farmers and gankers.

Lag is terrible, and makes some servers unplayable.

They lost pets and mounts in the patch and haven't given them back.

Peope have characters in transfer limbo for 2 weeks or more!!!

There's no support at all on weekends, the in game ticket system is up to a 5 day wait, when your ticket just dissapears with no response, the phone system is a 30 min wait, IF you can get through at all.

And they've decided that in game world wide pvp griefer events are fun and will have more of them, evn though they lag the server so bad you can't play.

I was totally addicted for 3 years, and now the game has changed to the point where people like me can't play it anymore.

ok well ive been playing wotlk since release and you're totally wrong about everything you've said... hunters and pallies play the same... spell power is scaled dif for healing then damage --- everyone's class has actually been upgraded damage and healing wise, there is no world pvp greifing, i play on illidan prolly the most well known pvp server and i'm pretty sure it's non existant, if anything they made the game too easy with how OP they've made every class, i doubt you played for 3 years, because it sounds like you've never played the game at all @_@

Honestly, Good Game, i'm so pleased with the expac, i just got it on sat and im 72 (zomg only 72?) yea lol, i got rockband2 too so im hoppin back and forth, but im very happy, finished howling fjord and was a bar away from 72, just jumped into borean and dinged, pretty awesome, the graphics are way better and the armor has a very gothic feel to it, very appealing, the instances are a bit easy but then again im grouping with like t5 people and i've had some fun..

Just droppin a positive post because i'm sick of all the downers that probably havnt even played yet

EDIT:

and just because a few sunwell geared guilds have downed the new "t1 / t4" content, doesnt mean the "t3 / t6" content in wotlk wont be much harder, and saying the game is easymode is a joke, show me another pve game that requires such wire's edge precision when it comes to  phases in boss fights and i'll say "cool"

Like so many of the old timed games it just wont match up anymore, they were built for the small community of fresh out of college pale faced pimpled out kids that had a bunch of people in their basement screaming "for frodo" while playing the game, but they cant match not only...

The quality of graphics that are needed to keep the attention of the ADD blistered children of today's day and age

The servers cant hold the amount of people that would play if the other req was up to par

And the abuse-ability ( ill elaborate)

It takes around an hour to hit max level with a high enough mage running around power leveling you, the botting is non-stop, even gamers that consider themselves legit bot, beleive it or not people sell game for this game still, and the stat hacks are rediculous..

Now i know adapting things from other games seems to be non-stop insulted but install a virus protecter ( this is directed to who ever runs knight *if anyone* ) put in a spam filter and make experience decrease depending on whoever is in the party..

The quests in this game are amazing

The pvp is so hard it's fun

It STILL has potential... just update the graphics and.. do all the other stuff..

I'd probably play if the servers wernt constantly full lol.. regardless of bots and such-what

go to a low/reccomended pvp server, the leveling will be a crazy pvp fest, ive leveled things to 70 for the fun of pvping while leveling, and normally on normal servers it's more of a challange because everyone has crap gear and it's just... it's a blast

i think i speak for most when i say qft.... baddies make the world (of warcraft) go round' who else would grind mats and do other baddie things for.... well... non-baddies

Reasons why Warcraft is the better game.

Log in screen.: You only have to escape out of the movie at log in once.

EUla: You only have to agree with EULA when a new patch is out.

Program: Warhammer takes over a gig of memory to run what is essentialy the same amount of graphics.

Interface: Warcraft has the more adaptable interface.

Chat Interface. Warcraft has the more adaptable and usable chat features.

Mail system. Warhammer can only send one thing at a time and the mail server is laggy.

Lag: I experience lag effects at three times the amount I ever had in WoW.

Combat System. Warhammer buttons are all on the same cool down which feels like you are hitting rubberbands. Spells and abilities have a noticable delay in proccing.

Class differienciation. Warcraft classes are totally different from each other. Where a Magus,Engineer, Squig Hunter, Shadow Hunter play about the same.

Emotes: Emotes are next to un-noticable in Warhammer.

Emmersion: With the different emotes for not only different races but classes and sexes, Warcraft tends to let the player more identify with his alt.

Instances: This is the dirty little secret of Warhammer. There are tons of different instanced areas on Warhammer.

Dungeons: While it is a known RVR/PVP game, Warhammer offers a couple of instances which are nothing but a string of PQs. The whole PVE experience is a total dissapointment.

PVP: Warcraft offers 2,3,5 man Arena fights. 10,15 and 40 man Battlegrounds. None of these have timers on them so you have to win not just get ahead and turtle. Then it offers several PVP World objectives
and soon with WotLK, it will offer instanced seiging. Most people will tell you that because of server imbalances most RVR doesn't happen in Warhammer.

Reliability: Simply put Blizzard has a lot longer to work out the bugs(and personally I think they have the better talent to do it too)

Communications: Blizzard hosts it own servers with player and dev tech assistance. The also give a better idea where they are heading with their patches.

 

And finally heart. After playing Warhammer for 2 months, I can tell you it just leaves you feeling there is something missing. I cannot imagine that I would play this game for 3 years like I did WoW.

Really, so can you go back to Warcraft forum. 

Heres how it is. 

PVE - Warahmmer pve is the same aqs everyone elses. Kill X amount of w/e, go here go there, find this. Thats it, always. You think it sucks? WoW quests are the same.

PVP - arena? Are you kidding me arena is run by druids, thank you come back later.

Communication- Yeah cause chuck norris is so appealing to hear of everyday, WAR players use Vent in most cases. (Kiddies arn't allowed on vent. so thats why barrens chat is the way it is and warhammer isn't

Realiability - A joke right? these guys are constantly throwing pacthes, minor patches to fix hings. Everyday theres at least a tiny pacth, unreliable. What a joke

Emotes - the dumbest thing ever in a MAN's game. You know, man's game with KILLING not HUGS!

Lag - upgrade ur rig, seriously

Emersion, yeah cause gnome knights make huge sense

The intro movie is good for WAR

You know what forget it, just another person who claims WoW is so great but isn't playing it but using the forum (I'm at work) so c yah around

WoW quests actually have a story behind it, even the level 10 quests near sentinel hill will emerse you moreso then any war quest,

Arenas are controlled by druids in maybe 1500-1700 when it's all a game of who runs out of mana first, try being good at pvp before you judge it

Even a good rig cant get past an area having more then 30 people in it in War, the lag is rediculous, and a man's game.. seriously?

a MAN's game....... THAT's a joke...

and the movie thing is stupid.. i dont mind pressing esc to get past it.. and yea i have played war, and yea it was fun at first up till about 25 then it's just a grind, the same grind, at least wow is a grind with dif things to grind for dif rewards

Some people disagree with you and state their opinion and you start crying for the mods to close the thread? Why? I read through and I didn't see any Troll posts at all. Just people responding to your post with their opinions. No insults, just intelligent discussion.
If you can't deal with people who disagree with you without having a conniption fit about it, I would have to suggest that you abstain from posting on a public forum.
Personally I despise WoW. I beta tested the game, and played it for a week before I quit. In my humble opinion it is the Fisher Price of MMO's. Spoonfed Pablum for the console gaming crowd; with bright colors and cartoonesque characters aimed at making a virtual merry-go-round for the same pre-teens who play Runescape.
Any adult that plays it should feel ashamed that their idea of a fantasy world fit for adventuring in is so reminiscent of Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

A better question Xaldraxuis, is why are you here? Looking back through your past posts you hate WoW. Here is a classic response you made to the "11 Million Subscriptions" post:
LOL
Ok, this is going to sound like trolling but, this only goes to prove my theory that 9 out of 10 people are morons.
(*I'm happy to be in the minority.*)
So you are an MMO elitist, and you post on the forums of the game you despise?
That is truly amazing..
I guess the Greater Internet Dickwad Theory is in full effect?

;D

I play an integral part in the forum game.

I'm a villain.

Good to see a real "roleplay" poster however....lol I liked the villain thing :) 

Ooooh Oooooh, can I be the fanboi?!!!  Please?  Pretty please?!!!!  I can do it, I KNOW I can. :)

Okay I nominate you!

Gratz!

I Second that!
 

when you go into something with an attitude, expect a bad one in return, i suspect a little more to this story and possibly a bit of insulting pre his un scripted comments

Too bad you go from killing innocent civilians, stealing horses,, burning the city down on the back of a frostwyrm to killing birds & boars in outlands though, total momentum ruiner. One thing that annoyed me was the final mission... we had about 9920 left and they had 150, how the heck did we lose the battle?

people are going to call this lame but if you have a DK you've most likely experienced most of outlands or all it has to offer so just have a good friend that you met on your 70 to run you through instances, takes about 5 runs per level at like a run per 10 minutes if you have a good paladin with you, or you can convince a group to mob tap which would take like 4 hours from 58 to 70

how the hell am i a troll? i gave him a legit answer

If this game provides a ruthless world with freedom and consequences (and barring it's not buggy), then is should be a major hit.

However, if it's a linear, hold-your-hand, please-follow-the-storyline, quest-laden crapfest, then it will fail like AOC and Warhammer, and many others.

 

THIS GAME COULD BE GOOD IF IT IS A GOOD GAME... IM A VETERAN GAMER SO I KNOW

your first mistake was rolling hunter, your second mistake is wanting to be a deathknight, not only is hunter the most commonly played and least useful class in World of Warcraft but Death Knight being the only new class installed into the game in the past 4 years, they too will become one of the most common and least useful classes, but to answer your actual question -

YES it would be a waste, first of all because you'll get to 55 on your hunter, make a death knight and get bored of that too, yes bored.. and that is IF and that IF is big, you can even make your way to 55, i havnt leveled in a long time because frankly i sprint to the level cap, but i remember the quest grind from 45ish to 58, being hellish, you're just finishing tanaris and un'guro might be a little to hard and you turn to thottbot which is no help and then you quit because you're bored and want to be... 80.. now, and everyone is racing through content and you're still just a level 19 with no main to use as a defense to your newbishness..

People say wow is a newb friendly game but it's a tough crowd to get along with and if you dont know every single detail about the game from the start you're doomed to fail, one bad party can ruin your gaming experience.. SO yea like i said, dont get wotlk till you have an 70, then pass on a death knight for about 5 months when all the "yay this is fun.... till 65...." death knights die off, then hop on it

BUT I HONESTLY SUGGEST YOU QUIT YOUR HUNTER AND ROLL SOMETHING USEFUL

Any tank class

Destruction Warlock

Resto/Holy... anything

LOL!

 

I am definately sticking with WAR.

notawebsite.com

War has no endgame, and nobody to play it

LOL!

I am definately sticking with a game that has been beaten by people that already have 3+ days of gameplay in a game that was released 4 days that had the best gear in the game

illidan at 11 o'clock last night had 1780 people in front of me, i didnt bother

meh, athene's buddy had it on lockdown in 13 hours, theyre not giving him credit because he never actually hit 80 but he was less then a bar away and on a boss that would knock him to 80

Well Archlord is a Korean grinder.It is not for the questers,and especially not for those that dislike drama.
I have played the game for almost two years,and i even came back to it from AoC,EQ2,WoW,SWG,Requiem,EVE,Lineage2,RFO,Silkroad,9Dragons, and more XD
I do have to say that for a free game with a small player base,it is very fun and CodeMasters do a good job of trying to fix bugs and keep updates in the pipes.After all they are at the mercy of NHN{Developer}.
As for the Archlord,well yes there has been many many of them.However it is only now in EPIII that they are of real use.With new skills that are very powerful and the ability to resurrect a fallen guild mate,and the fact they can now tax all the castle in the game for 20% makes it worth the time to fight for the crown.
All in all,if you like grinders with large scale PvP,then you will probably like Archlord

arch lord hasnt been out for 2 years..

lol you play on illidan too? nice.. and yea im 2074 in que so.. dont complain

Why start at level 1 when you can transfer your 70 over to the new server.

You can transfer to a PvP server from any PvE server.  But you can't transfer from PvP to PvE.

 

uhm.. u can trasnfer from any server to any server.. regardless of wether it is pvp, pve, rp or rppvp, this change was made a long time ago - get with it... if you have your heart set on leveling another toon dont level a rogue, theyre useless, level a warlock or paladin, if blizzard actually goes with subbing out talents for free with a warlock you can have an afflic build for pvp and destro for pve and with pally you can do whatever combo you please.. pallies are more needed as you level, and as of 3.0 ret paladins can easily tank any instance from 1 to 65, i've done it -.- so can anyone else.
