None of them are 'legit', considering Blizzard doesn't want you doing it either and will ban the account, screwing both you and the person who bought it (especially once whoever he plays with finds out he doesn't know how to play your characters).

I just started a little less than 2 months ago. I've got a 58 undead mage and a 60 blood elf death knight on Executus.

I quit wow about a week after BC came out. 40 man raids killed my enjoyment of the game. I enjoyed leveling alts more but once I hit 60 I had a tough time even doing that again.

My friend just started for the first time and I am tempted to fire the game up again. Of course every time I think about it I remember everything I didn't enjoy about the game including a montly fee. The big problem is I have absolutely nothing to play right now.

Just fyi, there are no more 40 man raids. They have been made obsolete.

So my brother got me back in to the game and I'm doing a fresh start as a Blood Elf Paladin. God I hate leveling.

Haven't been able to play, no internet at my place yet.

On server Oxynia on the Alliance side. One dwarf hunter and one dwarf death knight.

40-man raids were really the glory days for this game. The newer 25-man content is pretty stale.

I agree. I was an officer for one of the top guilds in vanilla wow, and had a blast in 40 man content. BC comes along and kills my guild, and raiding wasn't fun after that. I did like the closeness of 10 man raiding though that were introduced in WOTLK.

I let my subscription lapse a few weeks ago, mainly due to boredom but also due to the fact that my PC has been in and out of the repair shop (lost about 6 weeks of prepaid time thanks to that), so I didn't want to renew with all these issues still happening. The new patch seems promising though. The emblem change is a hot topic, but for someone that likes to have a lot of alts, I like it.

I've been playing since last august. So far have 3 80's (hunter, pally, dk) and the rest of the classes in the 30s. Mage and shaman probably going to get more play time. These toons are on Azuremyst.

Have a few horde toons on other servers though they are all fairly low. Scaling back the time i play right now since it started to become to much of a routine. Also waiting on the new computer i have coming. Maybe i can actually enjoy wintergrasp without lagging so bad.

I did my first raid last night in wrath(naxx 25, only for one quarter), and I enjoyed it for a change. I realized that I hate raiding a lot. It's not the raid itself but the fact that I need to spend 5+ hours in front of my computer doing a raid (and ONLY the raid) and hope everything goes well. I have gotten to the point where I don't think I can do that anymore.

On a depressing note, I looted my tier 7 legplates from Naxx 25 last night and I bought the gloves from badge gear and if I didn't get the 10% crit chance to holy shock I only would of gained like 7 spell power and 1000 armor (one piece was mail but as a healer it didn't matter) so raiding doesn't interest me much and my gear is still good.

My girlfriend doesn't like raiding for more than two hours either. But she hasn't given up on it. It's worth doing with your guildmates, friends or just people you like on your server.

I would say don't give up on raiding completely if 4-5 hours raids (or even broken into two sessions) are not for you. Have you tried other non-Naxx/Ulduar raids?

Obsidian Sanctum (Dragonsblight)
10-man: T7 Glove Token
25-man: T7.5 Glove Token

Vault of Archavon (Wintergrasp)

Archavon (easier boss)
10-man: T7 Gloves and Chest Token, Hateful Gladiator PvP gear (Season 5, 10-man quality)
25-man: T7.5 Gloves and Chest Token, Deadly Gladiator PvP gear (Season 5, 25-man quality)

Emalon (hard boss)
10-man: T8 Gloves and Legs Token, Season 5 Deadly Gladiator including non-set such as rings, cloaks, trinkets
25-man: T8.5 Gloves and Legs Token, Season 6 Furious Gladiator gear including non-set (superior 25-man quality)

Note that even though PvP gear may be raid quality, but in a raid the resilience stats will do you no good and tend to have lower stats than the PvE equivalent. They're good stop gaps until you get something more in line with your gear.

These are really really easy. Both of these raids can take between 20 min and 45 min, depending on your group's ability and if you wipe or not. I easily geared for both my specs (elemental and resto shaman) by pugging these two raids.

And if you're confident enough, try Eye of Eternity (Malygos). That doesn't take too long either, but it's tricky and the first time will probably be a learning experience. Loot is top notch.

I recently started playing again after a few months break (i started last week i believe) and I am really enjoying playing on my dk...i just dinged lvl 78 like 10 or 20 mins ago

i do have a question that i am hoping someone can answer for me, where do they move the pvp gear vendors too? ...a lot of them are still where they were in org, but when i was there i didn't see the vendor that sells the 70 pvp weapon gear...i saw basically everything else...60 pvp weapons...70 pvp armor...80 pvp armor..

probably wont end up trying to get a 70 sword like i was intending too because i am close enough to 80 that i think i can hold off till then

just wanted to know for future reference

thanks

The Casual stuff brought me back.

I was anti-WoW for a while, you can check my post history.

I picked it up again recently, friend let me use her account and now that it got hacked I'm going to pick it up and get my own account.

I leveled a DK to 80 because I did 6 of the original vanilla jobs to 60 before BC and wanted to try something new.

First - 10-man/Heroic 5-man. The deal is the same as doing UBRS or the like back in the old days, except the gear has been itemized to allow you access to the hard stuff. It's a great job by Blizzard because only being able to do end-game content if you were in a 40-man guild was very discouraging and didn't allow you to act without consequence. You had to walk on egg shells or you'd get "blacklisted" by raiding guilds. Now? Say whatever you want, because you can get epic gear in pugs.

Second - PVP. It's so dimensional now. There's arenas, big area/zones like Wintergrasp, gear rewards/mounts. It's crazy, the competition is so high. People say it killed world PVP, but world PVP sucked. The only people who enjoyed it were people who liked ganking lower level players or doing nothing with their time. It served no purpose and people never went anywhere with it. You'd start out at Crossroads or Southshore, you start winning, you try to sack Undercity or Orgrimmar/Iron Forge but people stop following you because of how long of a run it is or you get picked off or the sheer amount of opposing faction come in and destroy you, it falls apart.

Zoned/controlled PVP makes sure the fight is interesting enough for people to get into it.

The emblem/recruit a friend/heirloom system is fantastic. Right now I'm going to get 300% for leveling with the person who recruited me, on top of that, when I hit 80 with one toon, I can send heirloom gear to my alts. Basically gear that levels with you and remains as good as "good blues" your level. At level 80, a 2h axe has the max dmg and DPS of a level 80 heroic blue. But you never have to upgrade it. You can keep it on you from level 1-80. The same for the shoulders you get, but they also give you a 10% bonus experience buff.

Blizzard also increased the quested XP you get in pre-BC.

Also, go to Wow-pro and get Jame's alliance in-game guide. I just barely started using it, but I can tell already, this mod will get me past the boring 1-60 levels super fast.

I just got back from a 2 year absence since we moved and couldn't get decent internet, but now a better ISP came to us.

I play on Dark Iron with alliance & Ner'zhul with horde. I just decided to try a BE warlock, & Man, I forgot how brutal it is to level a cloth caster for the first 30 levels.

My main is a lvl 61 (just turned that) so it sucks since i havn't and wont be able to experience the 40M raids like Zul'Gurub, Onyxia, & MC, but from hearing what people have been saying about them it doesn't look like I'm missing out on that much. I just really want to try 1 of them once, mainly ZG.

And also, here is a link to a compilation of the patch notes, organized very nicely. (Does anybody have any clue on when patch 3.2 is going live?)

@ Warlocks. Since they are lowering the lvl 60 epic ground mount down to lvl 40 for 60g total for mount and training, and along with that the dreadsteed quest will be brought down to lvl 40. How will that work out, since its around a total of 450g to finish the quest? My guess is that blizzard will make it learnable at a trainer without having to do the quest, and it'll be free.

They did it for BC once Wrath came out also, its much faster now.

And if you're into the casual stuff, once 3.2 hits, the level requirement for mounts is way down also. I forget the exact numbers, but now I think you get mounts at 20, and epics at 40? And you can fly at 60?

It seems pretty nuts compared to what it was in 1.0, but basically, if you want to level, now is the time to do it.

When you hit level 61 with a Warlock or Paladin you can buy the "skill" from your trainer for like five gold that gives you the dreadsteed/charger...no quest needed anymore. If you do the quest, you get an achievement, but who cares.

Why they made it 61 instead of 60 was probably to encourage people to do the quest but nobody does. It's easier to go to do Burning Crusade stuff for a level then go back and get it. With the upcoming mount changes, I can imagine they will give you the skill at either level 40 or 41, trainable.

From what I read, you can learn the mount for cheap, but you need to do the quest to get re 150 riding skill, but the quest is about 450g

You don't need to do the quest anymore. Last fall I leveled a Paladin and Warlock up with a buddy using the recruit a friend bonus and neither of us did the mount quests. We just bought the riding skill and at level 61 went back to our trainers and bought the "summon spell" that gave the mount.

I played this game about 2 or 3 years ago.

But all these changes and what not I think I am downloading the trail and might get back into.
