Topic: Help me have fun with WoW. :(

posted 10-24-2005 08:15:09 PM
I don't have anybody to play with, which is really bumming me out. I'd love to play, but these are social games and WoW doesn't really foster much socialization. Plus, I'm shy.

It's a tough life.

I know we have a few servers with a bunch of ECers but I don't know if that's exactly what I'm looking for because none of you would actually want a newbie hanging off your backs all the time, so I'd basically be a burden. I know Maradon was lonely, but I don't remember where he is and I'm too lazy to check. Anybody else want a Suddar to show the ropes?

(I played for about a week when the game came out, and a week a month later. fyi.)

Maradon's on Doomhammer and, if you ask real nice, I might be persuaded to jump on for at least a little while. I've got all kinds of potions, bags, and stuff to twink people out with and I don't really mind losing it since I don't play too much anymore. I'm on Uther, shoot me a PM or something.

WoW has no PVE or PVP servers, it has servers with and without elitest, griefing assholes.

The "red servers" are the ones with assholes roaming around killing people who are no challenge to them (aka "Ganking") and pissing and moaning endlessly when someone does the same to them. These people also spend an unusual amount of time bragging about how superior they are to everyone else because they do this.

The "blue servers" have no less actual PVP than a pvp server. The only thing they lack is the opportunity to kill someone ten levels below you or be killed by someone ten levels higher than you. In other words, they have none of the pointless griefing or the assholes that love that kind of thing that infest "red servers".

Remember the Best of the Best tournaments in EQ where they had a ladder match within the best of all the classes from every server? Remember how the representatives from the PVP servers all died like pansy bitches? This is because people on PVP servers really are not any more skilled at pvp than anyone else, and are usually much less so because all they ever do is grief people much lower than them or get griefed by people much higher than them.

I'd consider jumping from the server I'm on if there's a collective of people who are willing to go beyond the UBRS/Scholo/Strat grinding BS.

Got nice people in the guild I'm in, but we don't have enough and we're never all on at the same time to do anything.

Join the Cult of Ythrl on Maelstrom (PVP-RP). It's a goon guild. Horde. I've quit this game 3 times, but I came back to try this guild out. The goons are awesome and there's no drama thus far. I'm sure there will be, but hey. Plus it's a relatively new server.

Join us. You just have to prove that you're a goon.

edit: Don't listen to Maradon. I don't expect you to anyway, but hey!

edit #2: we like to have fun

I play a little on Dark Iron. I have a level... 18? Human Warrior on there right now.

I don't have a ton of time to play at the moment, as I have two papers to write by Nov 1 and 17, but after that I have shitloads of free time before exams. For now, though, while I do have free time, I need to spend quite a bit on my papers. This doesn't leave shitloads of time for WoW.

I'd play with you, but I'm waiting for the expansion before I really go heavy on an alt.

Also, you should warn him about Elune Horde.

Elune Horde is nice, but it's also one of the smallest populations ever. In general, they're pretty nice and supportive from what I've seen (probably because of this), but the cons are that Elune has a really awkward PvP situation (You're not that much better as Horde, even if the population is in their favor BG wise), and you're basically in a PvE dead end if you ever want to do the high end content.

No, he said that the only difference is that PvP servers enable ganking at any point, rather then when you choose, and that in general, people from PvP servers aren't better or worse at PvP then people from PvE servers.

Though, the final point is arguable because many classes depend on whole different gear to be effective in one or the other. (Re: Crit% Vs. +def sets for Warriors)

He should have phrased it way differently then. Because I can tell you, 95% of PvP servers aren't griefing assholes. And PvE servers just get griefed in different ways.

Quite true, sir.

You have no idea how many times a flagged whatever will stand on or near a mob you are killing (While unflagged yourself) hoping for you to rightclick to loot and accidentally rightclick to attack them, allowing them to gank you.

In fact, PvE servers are why you cannot enslave a demon that is tapped, MC a mob that is not tapped, and other similar changes.

We have some rather good PvP'ers on our super-carebear server (omg arr pee FTW). But some who are just retarded. An alliance guild is farming BWL.. has epics out the ass.. and we obliterate the fuck out of them every time. It's sad.

Yeah, and that second point is bullshit. Coming from a PvE server and moving to PVP-RP, you can tell who came from PVP servers and who came from PVE servers. Of course, some PVEers pick up on it faster than others, but the difference has been readily apparent since people on this server were level 15

Also: World PVP on PVE servers is unfortunately lacking, if it ever happens at all. Battlegrounds are fun, but world PVP introduces so many more variables (which may or may not include being ganked by a 60 rogue and 4 of his friends) that just make the game much more fun for me, despite the fact that I suck at PVP.

I don't have leanings one way or the other, really. Some people who play WoW should be relegated to playing insanely overpowered superheroes in CoH or something equally dumbed down.

I always get all flustered when I go in for PvP.

Yep, they're retarded. Couldn't be that they just don't care to really practive PVPing as much as you.
