To Avoid Giving Characters Specific Ages

I'm really distracted by the "decade since the Exodar crash" at the beginning, given Blizzard's tendency to squish the timeline in official sources, rather than draw it out. Even if the official timeline hasn't been updated since 2007,  Buying world of warcraft account the stories and novels have been pretty clear on things like Anduin's aging to mark time passage since end of BC/beginning of Wrath until now (and consider that pre-LK Arthas met his friend Varian's infant son, too). That whole thing with "one year of lore time between expacs" still annoys me, since the two-ish years real time we keep ending up with isn't that bad. Even in real time, it's more like a half decade. ;) The unofficial timeline cited in that KYL post at the time tended to draw timelines out just a tad too far, I think.

I'm less annoyed by new night elves claiming to have grown up on Teldrassil though, as now in game, yeah, a young child could have spent most of their formative years into young adulthood there, WoW accounts for sale especially if we use real time of WoW's activity (and it started canonically 4 years post-Hyjal, making it something like 10-12 years!) instead of compressed "official timeline."

Either way though, with the mess of Warcraft's canon and timeline issues, "close enough" is usually good, and why I try to avoid giving characters specific ages ("late teens" "early 20s" "middle aged" "young adult" is often what I go with, especially in non-Human/drastically different lifespan having races we don't have a lot of age lore on--like draenei).

On the topic of the guild spotlighted here, it sounds pretty awesome. I love my draenei characters! I have a mage, a shaman I rarely play, and a new monk I am loving to pieces; finding stories for them is a lot of fun. One of my RP guilds has quite a few draenei, and we've tried an all or mostly draenei guild before on my server; lack of defined lore at the time (and this was in BC!) made it hard for some people. If I ever poke my head into Wyrmrest, I'd love to give Kharanei a look, even just to interact socially.

I like to go with Velen being super special in his connection to the naaru, and other draenei are long lived due to the Light and their inherent magic, but "immortal" is not something I tend to like. 

New draenei characters come out of a stasis pod at the start of their zone; with running away from Legion over the centuries, resources gotta be tight and keeping people safe is a big thing, so put some people in stasis for a time; maybe that's how folks from Argus are still alive? World of Warcraft accounts Depends on how literal the idea of Sargeras offering power and immortality to the original Eredar is, too.

See, now you guys got me musing on timelines and draenei lore. 

Trix Got Some Nice PR Here

 I love almost all forms of electronic music, so I sample from many different genres as long as they fit my sound and sets.  For this particular event, Cheapest WoW accounts when I have a two hour slot and open the show, I start deep with some techno, tech house, deep house, or deep progressive house to warm things up, then use some energetic techno to bridge into popular trance and trouse infused with some electro house, which is the main part of my set.  Towards the end, I'll take things to a more underground sound with dark trance.. a bit coldharbouresque in nature, using select techno or progressive house tunes where appropriate and when they fit the sound.  When I have a 1 hour slot, I skip the deep warmup.

Occasionally I'll do a special event, such as on Friday the 13ths or around Halloween where I'll do a mix of very dark, spooky techno, WoW accounts for sale deep trance for one half, and terrorcore the second half, bridged together with a demon summoning ritual.

I also usually try to have guest djs once a month who bring their own sound of a wide variety of genres, and our afterparty dj goes all over the board, often playing a lot of classics.

I have only been to about 3 or so clubs so far (Yuyuko of WRA) and it's nothing like a 'second life' deal. It's really fun to watch or listen to the music if you do not RP. If anything, it's something to do on those nights when you don't feel like going out or playing other games and just want to mingle.

Glad to see that Trix got some nice PR here. World of Warcraft accounts Hope to see more WRA events pop up

PVE is nothing but a gear grind

To all the PVP'ers out there that say things like, "PVE is nothing but a gear grind", Where to sell World of Warcraft accounts  I present Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street: "Ultimately, we want WoW PvP to be about skill and gear and not just skill."

You are now welcome to remove the phrase "PVE is all about gear" from your list of comments about PVE.  Thank you.

PS - I'll be over here enjoying this show, because I see hilarity in my future

 "WOW PVP is trash", "WOW PVP is awesome".... Doesn't matter to me.  The fact that for YEARS PVP'ers have been griefing PVE'rs about the "gear grind" saying "PVP is more about skill than anything" and then having the lead dev say that's not the case.... Oh, that's just delicious.

 Did PvPers think that the difference between Honor Point and Conquest Point gear was purely cosmetic or something?  Of course better gear helps you in PvP.  If you have two players of equal skill, then chances are the one with better gear will win.  Why do people think this is some sort of shocking revelation? 

 Well, I think both pve and pvp ultimately come down to skill and gear. Very few people disagree with this aside from a few trolls on the forums.

I find your glee at GC stating the obvious very curious; it's like you took personal offense to a few trolls and decided they represent everyone who enjoys pvp. where to buy WoW accounts, whatever floats your boat.

never be going to BG's to gear up in PvE gear

It has been clearly stated you should never be going to BG's to gear up in PvE gear. Invest in Contender's and suffer. buy cheap wow accounts The end. If you did arena ONLY, you could get someone who is well geared to help and go. You'll have almost 4 pieces in 3 weeks with no RBG cap and winning ONE bg a day. 6300 honor from those one wins per day. I don't get the complaint. This is way easier given the time committment and RNG of Raid Finder and Heroics. You're essentially WELL geared after 3 weeks. Personally, I would be annoyed if I worked hard for my gear and any rando out-geared me in a short amount of time. CONTENDER'S. SETS.

This is exactly why I quit the game after four years and three accounts paying $45 a month.  They should have left PvP alone since it was introduced in Vanilla.  Grinding through three stages of gear and the absolutely monotonous and repulsive dailies have made the game such an ungodly drag it wasn't worth the price of admission anymore.  I loved my druid healing and they broke that in PvP so I switched to a pally.  The pally was overpowered as healer and became shitty as hell as a tank when MoP started.   It became absolutely horrible to keep switching characters when Blizzard kept fucking them up.  I had 23 level 85s and 4 lvl 90s when I finally just let them expire.  The Golden Lotus dailies are absolutely horrible and the way they unlock more dailies simply adds to the monotony.  It is as if they spent all of their time and collective brainpower trying to make end game over task the player instead of making it enetertaining to the player. fast wow gold Great job on the questing from 85 to 90 but the rest of it is why I will never again give you $45 a month. 

 WoW was good and I still believe they will get it right but I am tired of paying them for not good.  I still plan on playing an arena season on the normalized servers.

It's Basically to Prevent

a) raiding as the only way to be competitive in PvP, and conversely

b) arena being the most efficient way to gear up for raiding

The past few months have taught me that WoW players are obsessed with efficiency and view any gear that isn't nailed down behind a schedule or skill barrier as required for them.  Any system that *doesn't* completely separate the gearing paths for PvE and PvP such that each is impractical for the other will result in players being compelled to cross over from one play style to the other to gear up, fast wow gold and even moreso than doing dailies to raid, that is ridiculously not okay.

I've enjoyed PVP on

So my warrior is the only character I've enjoyed PVP on, buy cheap wow accounts  and so I leveled him with the intention of doing some casual PVP and maybe running LFR a bit. Can someone who understands the changes here help me out: does this mean that PVP gear, even capped at 496, would be suitable for LFR raiding? I'd really rather not have to deal with two sets of gear if I can avoid it.

Monks and druids can use pvp gear as tanks and do reasonably well.  Paladins and death knights can to a lesser extent because they benefit well from haste.  Warrior tanking in pvp gear just isn't going to work.

 If you happen to be geared in full conquest 496 gear, then you should be fine in LFR. Theoretically, your conquest set should have the same base secondary stats as 496 raid gear. That said, there are a couple issues that you need to address.

The first is gems and enchants. Chances are you're gemming straight PvP power or resil, which is completely useless in PvE, not to mention a few of your enchants will be completely stripped of their value.

Second is hit and expertise capping. For PvP, you should only be capping them at about 3%. PvE, you need 7.5% to put out your full amount of damage.

Yes, you can LFR in Conquest gear, but you'd be gimping yourself in a few areas. If you have that kind of gold to throw around, then by all means go ahead. If not, good luck performing optimally.

 I hadn't even considered gemming/enchanting. how to buy WoW gold I certainly don't have the gold to be flip-flopping like that all the time. Guess two sets of gear would be the better option.

Character Out of Someone Beloved

The meme character who has had zero character develpment since his intro to wow, buy world of warcraft gold is the one who kills Nazgrim, an actual character who we have had interaction with since wrath.

I wouldn't have minded so much, if it wasn't Nazgrim he kills. I liked Nazgrim, and acknowledged him more as a lore figure then Gamon. Now if Gamon killed Malkorok, that would have been better, since Malkorok represented the worst scum in orcish society, according to tides of war (the novel).

I just found this tweet by Kosak:

"I can only assume you've listened to voice files out of context? Gamon only fights Nazgrim in special circumstances."

So while Gamon is involved in the fight, I guess we have to do something special to actually have him involved? Just though it was interesting.

I'm no fan of either side over the other but it saddens me a bit knowing Nazgrim's going to die... I don't know why but I've always had a soft spot for him!

Kick arse Gamon! I know that's hypocritical of me but Gamon deserves to finally kick somebodies backside! And no I don't count players he's killed.

Is it just me, or, is anyone else really psyched that this rather minor lore development is likely entirely the players' doing? Unless Blizzard has plans for Gamon from the start, I think it's really cool that they're making a character out of someone beloved and well known in the community despite his obvious intentions to be a very minor named mob.

The WOW References Music

The game references music, though. safe wow gold It's out there. So, I ask you, dear breakfast readers, to put fingers to keyboards and try out your Azerothian muse. What's the music you would add to game? Is it just battle chants? What about something with a nice flute? What would the music of Azeroth sound like?

A Gnome (Pict) Song.

You never look where you tread
Always your heavy hooves fall
On our bellies, our hearts and our heads
And you never hear when we bawl
You people pass by -- and that's all
And we gather behind you in hordes
And plot to reconquer you all
With only our tech as our swords.

We are the little folk -- we!
Too little to love or to hate
Leave us alone and you'll see
How fast we can bring down this state
We are the worm in the wood!
We are the rot at the root!
We are the taint in the blood!
We are the thorn in the foot!

Mistletoe killing an oak
Rats gnawing cables in two
Moths eating holes in a cloak
How they must love what they do!
Yes -- and we little folk too!
We are as busy as they
Working our works out of view
Watch, and you'll see it someday

We are the little folk -- we!
Too little to love or to hate
Leave us alone and you'll see
How fast we can bring down this state
We are the worm in the wood!
We are the rot at the root!
We are the taint in the blood!
We are the thorn in the foot!

Though maybe we are not strong
Yet we have robots that are
Gladly we'll guide them along
To smash and destroy you in war
We shall be small just the same
When have we never been small?
But you -- you will die of the shame
And then we shall dance on your graves!

For we are the little folk -- we!
Too little to love or to hate
Leave us alone and you'll see
How fast we can bring down this state
We are the worm in the wood!
We are the rot at the root!
We are the taint in the blood!
We are the thorn in the foot!

The 5.4 PTR Have Been Posted

Warlocks weren't exactly tearing shit up. wow gold for sell I don't get it. They should have just removed chaos bolt from the casting while moving if they wanted to nerf it a bit. It would play more like ele that way. But just straight up axing it to the point nobody will pick it is pretty absurd.

I don't think they understand what they're doing to warlocks.  GC says WoW can never be Street Fighter because it's server based, but it's too late! fast wow gold  We have eaten the forbidden fruit, and anyone who's put some hours in on a KJC lock knows damn well WoW can do fast, fun, high-action combat.  Now they're all, "Nothing to see here!  That never happened!  Go back to standing still and watching bars fill up like every other fire mage."

Warlock changes - boo!

Hunter changes - but I like teh silence =/

TG polearms - AAHHHH, RUN AWAAAAY, SCARY WARRIOR

Very excited for proving grounds & the virtual realms. Question though (I don't think I saw info on this in the notes) - will the virtual realms still be CRZ'd? How the heck is that going to work? o.O I'm guessing it'll replace CRZ, but I didn't see where it said anything along those lines.

As I understand it, buy world of warcraft accounts VRs will include ALL aspects of the game, whereby CRZ has been extremely limited to only low level zones and even then prohibitive in the way it allows you interact (or more appropriately NOT) with other players.

It will probably be too soon to say, but I'd wager that if VRs don't help the issue of 'ghost zones' and being able to complete ENTIRE story arcs inside a zone without seeing another player in a Multiplayer game, they will continue to use CRZ to counter this. 

However I cannot speak with any authority on the subject, if VRs solve the problems CRZ was designed and brought in to solve in the first place CRZ may well be a thing of the past, I will miss it, but I think I am the only one ^^

In short, if VRs populate low level zones, CRZ is likely gone, else don't expect anything to change IMO.

Flight Power of WOW

I think if you're on a PVE server there isn’t a problem with flying mounts but they definitely have a negative impact on PVP servers. I'm all for no flying mounts until level cap in new zones also as they just trivialise the journey which is what MMO's are meant to be about. Once you’re at the cap then it’s appropriate to have them for convenience and getting about but not before.

I just wondering how to buy WOW gold,safe WOW gold, where to buy WOW accounts, where to sell wow accounts.

I agree flying mounts should be locked initially. But there is nothing like playing my Druid in Epic Flight Form and soaring across the world. Sometimes I get lost for literally hours just doing that. Flying high, flying low! Swooping down over a newbies head! It's exciting.

I actually dont like Flying Mounts. It hurts the longevity of the game. Specially now that they are being brought in at launch half the time. The idea of Exploration is one of the selling features, the second you get on a flying mount you fly up look down and go "OH thats whats its like" with the flying mount you can explore the entire planet in a day.

I have been playing this game since it was released. But sometimes for some reason i wish things would become simple like they were at launch. Less crowded areas no flying mounts and hard content.

Lots of improvements were made with MoP but too much rep grind and i wish they kept the cataclysm 5 man heroic formula.

Also the theme for this expansion isnt very appealing. Flakes and heals bright, days and Pandas ....

rather than Burning legions or an undead and dark world. I want the good old bad guys back. But still game is going foward ...

I hope their next expansion will come out sooner just cause this expansion theme, landscape and art made a lot of my friends and guildies leave the game.

Now comon take away those flying mounts and next xpac make us De-level  instead of leveling up. Either that or open a revamped vanilla server with rereleased remastered gradually released content

Wow man, are we still talking about this? Very original article thank you.

This is a subject that's never been discussed to death over the years and a subject that is worthy of discussion time and time again thanks to ongoing research and findings on the subject. Your article really tackles the issue in a different way and brings a fresh perspective!

I mean as a boring forum thread i would understand but as an article on a big mmo site, no.

What kind of idiot in china or korea would play WoW when they have BnS? I am WoW fan boy and I buy WOW accounts and buy WOW gold once, but honestly BnS has more to offer than WoW and i don't see why people will continue to play WoW in eastern market. teh decline in eastern market is no doubt due to BnS. good for them and i think it is wake up call for WoW too, entire year kept suggesting to improve visual quality of characters/npc/mosnters, keep the cartoony look but improve it and make it look more real like pixar or disney animated cartoons. but no they don't want to, even though ghostcrawler admitted that current game engine is capable of miraculous graphical changes they are not going to do that because people are happy the way they are now. moronic fanboys and their blind money sinking really pisses me off.

Deferred revenue has nothing to do with transfers, that goes into cash.  deferred revenue is subscription time that hasnt been used up.  Most likely current months sub revenue + multi month subs.  Im not one of their accouttants so I don't really know for sure the complete makeup of that account, but by definition instant account transfers can't be deferred revenue.

i guess they may have to cut food...after 10 years, this number is beyond their wildest dreams and they will not produce any new mmo game (e.g. titan) before wow drops at least to 1-2m subs. so 8m subs after 10 years, unfortunately for who ever waits a new mmo from blizz, is still a huge number

They tried to merge but moronic oafs on those servers refused merger as it will "hurt their server pride". people like them really pisses me off.

It is Truly Amazing the Amount of Hate WoW Receives

WoW is still by far the best MMO regarding endgame PvE and PvP.You can buy WOW account.

Probably due to the fact it cause the almost complete stagnation of the genre. It's the mmo equivalent of CoD/halo.

While I'm no fan of buying the same game every year, so I don't, if these games could be improved upon, they would be. Saying WoW is the reason MMOs are stale is like saying pizza is the reason why Italian food never progressed after it was made. Whether a game is good or bad is all subjective. And sales figures don't tell the whole story of quality since advertising is often the biggest factor, not the quality of the product (look at Coke/Pepsi sales). That a vocal section of any other game population sits around whining about WoW is just funny, though. If I'm playing a game, any game, the last thing I do is waste my time whining about a different game that I'm not even playing. As if MMO nerd wasn't already hitting the bottom of the barrel, there's always someone willing to scrape it clean, I suppose.

It's sort of like when break up with your bf/gf and you move on to someone else. You talk to all your friends about how great your new bf/gf is, how happy they make you and blah blah, and yet for some reason you continue to bash your ex. No one will even bring them up, yet all of a sudden it's "Yeah, my new bf/gf is soooooo great, not like my ex, they are the ****ing scum of the earth and they need to die." You continue that for a month, then you start getting bored with that so-called awesome new gf/bf, you start saying "Yeah, my ex sucked, but we had some great times." Then you'll be banging your new bf/gf and instead of focusing on them in the present moment, your mind starts wondering and you're thinking "I remember when my ex and I banged in my car during my random great-great aunt's funeral. I wonder what they're doing right about now? Are they with someone else??", then another month later you "butt dial" your ex and you're like "oops i didn't meant to do that, sorry...so how are you?" and just like that, you're back to ****ing your ex. In short, people always find new love in MMOs, but as soon as the novelty wears off, they'll banging WoW again, because although WoW is a douche, it's probably the best ride you'll ever have.
