** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

decided to make a human warlock as i like the idea. One thing though, i chose hellscream which is not a pvp server, yet in the begginers area of goldshire, i was constantly getting under attack messages, then there were lots of level 80 undead around killing players and npcs? wtf? Is that possible? or is it like the south park episode where the guy gets too strong for the admins :P

You can opt in our out of PvP even on a PvE server.

The horde will have been causing bother for lowbies by killing the npcs and some high level allys probably turned up to get rid of them. Dont opt into pvp and dont mistakenly attack and horde and you will be ok :)
 
Im thinking of joining a pvp server just so i can get the full wow experience. Ill probably wont get to take part in much pvp as im not in a guild. But the sound of random players attacking you sounds quite fun and seeing your capital under attack and trying to defend it looks awesome.
 
In the middle of installing this game (20hrs yay) im gonna make a human paladin. Ive had this game for about 3 years and never got past making it to level 22. This time im gonna stick to it (of course in moderation) and try and get to see most of the world before its changed forever.
Anway all i want to know really is what server should i go, should it be a old server with say medium to high pop or should i go on a low pop server?

Try to go for medium-high, as at level 80 it matters, because of guilds/raiding, and balanced PvP, afterall WoW is an MMO, and a server with a low population isn't ever gonna be as fun as a med/high pop :)
Have a look on http://www.warcraftrealms.com/eu_realmstats.php for alliance to horde ratios on some servers. On my previous server it was 90% horde and 10% alliance, wasn't fun. We just got decimated in battlegrounds and there wasn't much activity PvE wise.

They'll be attacking the NPC's at goldshire, but they won't be able to kill any alliance unless you flag yourself for PvP. Don't worry, you're safe xD

Storm Reaver

This 5.29GB patch is taking forever ive turned off p2p so hopefully itll be finished in a couple days.

Grim Batol is a very Norwegian-heavy server, servers like that tend to have foreign stuff being spammed everywhere a lot of the time and its rather irritating.

I don't know anything about Storm Reaver. Which means its probably quite empty or there aren't a huge amount of English players there :p

come arathor if you wan't, got a horde dk there and don't mind giving you a helpng hand now and again, although i may be faction changing some time over the next couple of months.
My main is a Druid, Resto mainly and Teddy off-spec. I love the flexibility of the hybrid classes, especially as a very casual player as it took me ages to hit 80. I've just reached 80 with my Paladin Tank, it only took a year and a half :)

I'm part of a small, tight-knit, casual 10 man raiding group, Alliance on Sylvanas (EU). We try to organise two official raids a week and have recently started ICC hard modes.
Pretty much all of us have families and real life commitments so we play very flexibly and casual. I think I'm one of the youngest at 30! Casual, family orientated guilds can be hard to find in this game


RL doesn't allow me too commit to much raiding atm so i'm guildless and not raiding atm :/, got my halion 25hc kill but i doubt i'll kill lk25hc before cata.
 
the beginning of the cata lead up events.

next month should be quite fun......im still not going back though until thr 7th of Dec.....im enjoying this break.
 
The good news: you can now purchase a digital key to start playing as soon as the expansion goes live!

The bad news: The price has been massively hiked up!

Im really unsure which to get now, the expansion or fallout vegas. as there both pretty much the same price which would be a better investment in terms of fun/play time ?

The expansion. If you want, you can find a near infinite amount of things to do.

If your definition of massively hiked up is £5 then I don't really know what to say.
