Could somebody possibly IM me to help me figure out which character to choose. As you all know by now, I am NOT a gamer. I am not used to picking races, classes, professions.... yadda yadda yadda. The only one that looked of interest was a mage, but I am not sure. I was wondering if I told someone what kind of role I would like to play, that they could lead me in the right direction.

Had any fun messing with the GM commands? I've heard some of them are a blast, such as the insta-kill command and summoning world bosses into major cities.

Still haven't had the time to install and patch up to 1.8.0. I should have all the patches already, so I'll try a dual-install on my machine and hope for the best. I think as long as I install in different directories I should be fine. If not, oh well.

Choose something. Play it. As you learn the game more, you may decide to play something else. If that turns out to be the case, then make a new character. Play that.



I don't think tradeskills work (haven't tested, but from other servers I've been on I don't imagine they do). If you choose a profession and want to change later, you can drop it. If you decide to change back, you can pick it up again (though you'll be at skill 1). Some professions have a gathering component (skinning, herbalism), and an item creation profession to go with it. Some don't. Thottbot.com is an excellent place to read up on all races/classes/professions etc. as it lists in a simple manner what you'll need to know. Any questions you can likely figure out yourself through basic gameplay.



On legit servers, I played 2 characters for about 10 days before I made a rogue, and decided to play that. The game itself is just meant to waste time (IMHO), so don't worry if you start over 2-3 times. Hell, I've already made 3 characters myself.

I noticed alot of bugginess on a private server I connected to before bed last night, in the 10 minutes I was on. It seems they attempted to counter the bugs by offering skills/tradeskills without requiring the skill level normally required to gain the skills.

Combat classes looked broken - couldn't use charge with a warrior because my toon wouldn't stay in Battle Stance. As a rogue, you're able to go into stealth in combat or out and use all skills/abilities in stealth, and don't come out of stealth when they're used. Also, gouge didn't seem to work as intended as the monster swiveled to track me so I couldn't get behind to backstab.

Also, damage for all classes looked fubar. The rogue was doing 2 damage with Sinister Strike, though on my character screen I was supposed to be doing 18-21 normal damage. A mage was hitting for 80+ critical damage at lvl 5 (wow) with fireball, and otherwise hitting for 20-25 normally.

Cooldowns are screwed up - whoever heard of a cooldown for food/water?!? Instant abilities had a cooldown (fireblast).

I'm hoping it was this particular server that had alot of wierd problems. I suppose I could learn to play around it, but it was frustrating to have to relearn how to play due to the buggy limitations.

I'll log on TW after work and create a character, now that I have the patches and all downloaded - Thanks Ray!
