So guys, I have been wanting to play an MMO for a while now, since BC2 and CoD4 aren't really appealing to me right now, and Aion IMO plain sucks atm, So I was considering returning to WoW. I've forgotten my account details but it shouldn't be too hard to remember them.

Aaanyways, I've got an 80 mage if I remember correctly...but I quit last time simply because in order to get good gear, it was required to spend a few hours every evening raiding with a fairly Hardcore guild. Now, I enjoy having dinner with my family, socialising with my mates, etc etc. and I really wont want to do that again. So, is it possible to have fun and pvp and all the rest of it...without needing to raid?

Also, If I can't get my account details back and I need to start over, what classes are really good in PvP atm? I'm not keen on healers, but apart from that all is peachy. And what's the current state of the game? anything majorly broken or OP?

Thanks,
Minato

Question is is how long will it take you to come to the same conclusion and would it be worth it?
Every time i get the urge to play wow i have a quick look at a wow thread or the wow forum... never fails to put me off.

Go buy yourself Divinity 2.

I've had a load of emails recently from blizzard... I don't get though as the email they were using looks legit like [email protected] or something.

I know now they use the battlenet email though. Can't decide if i want to buy a game card or not! Well i could get someone to send me an invite so it helps them out
 
I got back into the pvp side recently with a warrior and shadow priest, both seem to kick major ass, and i enjoy the pvp side.

However, I did some dungeons over the last week and it's been more or less enough to put me off again, it's not really the game, it's the people that play it. Some real aggressive/obsessive types make it a horrible experience.
 
I hit this problem too.

Once you hit 80 the game becomes dire. Infact, most of Northrend is dire once you leveled at least one character.

Starting a new character and using the LFD feature for classic and BC dungeons can be quite good though. Generally you don't get too many morons in classics.

Although DK tanks can be a nightmare when you first hit BC. People who have never tanked before thinking a DK can take on anything with no basic understanding of generating threat and rotation can be hugely irritating to say the least.

Ugh, yeah, play another game...perhaps Cata will help things.

LoTR here I come...

the germans destroy almost every game, theyre organised.. typically have full relentless or better and usually go around in groups consisting of 3 dps and 2 healers.

everytime i entered a bg and saw the germans a little part of me died inside.

they must get a hellish amount of honor per game compared to the non germans :(

i hate blizzard !
 
Blade's Edge EU here and I sympathize with you Mittens just transferred back here to be with my social guild to have a great laugh and so and PvP is fail because as soon as you see the germans it's pointless trying.

Odd - as mine are from [email protected]

I've had blacklisted accounts etc lol. password changes bla bla
A few of the emails on windows live mail says they could be scams.. but others dont. From the same emails..

When i saw them at first i was like :o I just went onto the site itself and changed the password so
 
They are very fake and I get them all the time.

Checking the grammar is always an obvious way to tell:

As too many customers' complaints,

Classic.

Also, hovering over the link within the email will show an obvious BS URL.
 
lol was about to try out Steamwheedle Cartel

whats wrong with that battlegroup?

and all will be made clear :(


short ver. english speaking mostly non pvp and/or new realms vs experienced mostly pvp-only german realms. and the germans play smart

they attack in WSG in 8 or 9's - all up the tunnel supported by 3 healers, all grab the flag, then all take it to the flag room.
they all have full pvp (resilience) gear and they they win A LOT .... which gives them more hnor so they gear up faster sdo they win more honor so.... it just seems to be the german psyche to play as a team whereas the EU realms, you suggest somethning crazy like, i dunno.. lets take lm,mine and st and defend and everyone starts telling you how you cant order them about blah blah hehe.

I was thinking about going back myself, but then I recollected those hours of clearing mindnumbing pve ICC content... many wasted weeknights....

Untill they make pvp playable on its own without ANY pve I won't be resubbing. I am considering giving LOTRO a shot as the content actually looks interesting, at least from youtube.
