Thought about doing this also, no way I can keep up with the leveling crews. But gonna give it a go on Whitemane and see what happens. Really would like to have some fun with the world PvP while it's sill chaotic and fresh. If later the ganking gets to be too much I can always reroll.

LFD is a great tool for the masses. And WoW was definitely a game for the masses. But a lot of people don't mind inconvenience if it builds communities, and LFD is not a good community builder. You should try classic. This is going to be fun, even if most of us don't last long. There aren't any...

Aye. Getting on a no queue server now just means it will be a dead server in a couple of months. High pop servers have the best term prospects.

Slow year (decade) for mmo news.

/shrug There are pros for both sides. It makes business sense to reserve the names of top streamers, so if Blizzard had it wouldn't have bothered me. But the look on Asmongold's face in that pic is priceless.

Not sure if this was posted / linked but the server list is up. August 12, 2019 3:00 PM , players with an active subscription or game time on their World of Warcraft account can reserve their character names by creating up to three WoW Classic characters. Please note that all of...

God this show is hard to watch. Picked up CBS all access for 2.99 on Amazon. FIgured I would watch the 2nd season. First season had a lot of cringe moments but it somewhat redeemed itself by the end. But fuck the second season. Fucking hours of "FEELINGS IN SPACE". No plot, no science, just...

Looks good. They gave away AoW 3 free on steam not long ago. Haven't had a chance to play 3 but I liked AoW 1. Will pick this up eventually I'm sure.

I understand the problem with overpaying quarterbacks, then watching a superbowl team disintegrate trying to pay them (calling Joe Flacco). But the Raiders were without a decent Quarterback for over a decade after Gannon. Derek Carr might be over payed but he is a decent to good QB and if you...

That's probably pretty close. These guys play mostly PvP, Black Desert, etc. So it isn't the PvE or grind that will bother them. I don't think they realize what happens on WoW PvP servers though. Haven't warned them. And some of them will love it.

Heheh. Old news for you all I'm sure. But when my friends started talking about Classic after spending years panning it, it kind of blew me away.

In spite of Blizzard's massive screw up with BFA, they are going to make out like bandits with classic. Plus their timing is amazing luck. With the total lack of new mmos recently, Classic is going to pull in massive numbers. I have friends that have never once been interested in WoW that are...

Caffeinated cancer

Classic Flames Forums return. Nice, cool, AWESOME.

Yeah, WvW is in a bad place. Taking waaaaaaaaaaaay too long to create the Alliance changes. At this point it seems doubtful Alliances are going to happen before Star Citizen launches for our grandkids. Haven't played the event, it didn't interest me. My buddies and I are playing other games...

Picked this up for the first time over Christmas. Pretty good mmo imo. Didn't reach endgame, or do any min maxing. Heard there is a bit of a grind at max level. So can't really attest to that. But it entertained me for a couple of months of casual play. Probably will go back eventually.

My memory is foggy on this but wasn't the Horde a huge underdog on most servers during launch and BC? I just recall making Horde toons and loving the fact that BG's had no queues for Horde. But Alliance was always complaining about the queues. Could be wrong about all of that. Purple haze and all.

The little bit I played of New World was enjoyable. Very polished for an alpha. Not sure where they are going with the game or if it's my type of play style, but really hope they do well with it. Need to encourage other developers in the west to make new AAA mmos. Best way to do that is for...

Collector's editions of mmo's use to give you a beginner mount, early access, and the like. So there was an in game benefit. Always got those, anything to get ahead. For single player games it really depends on what's included, but usually it's a pass. Didn't see anything in the C77 editions...

GW2's Combat is pretty fun. Constantly moving, with deep combos, etc. possible, especially in PvP. Until Black Desert came out, I thought it was the best of most of the mmo's also. But since BDO there have been a couple of mmo's with good combat. And never got around to Tera, which is older...

Unless they changed it recently, the main issue is the auction house. But other than that, I don't know how much it matters, other than the look of a list full of empty servers.

Didn't mean to imply that WoW classic servers will be totally empty a month after launch. Far from it. Just meant that it will be like all the other mmo launches and EQ progressions servers. A huge influx in the beginning who then leave within weeks. While a minority sticks around. In WoW a...

I think you are right, at least at launch. Going to be huge. Then the population will drop like a rock after the rose colored glasses break. A sea of empty classic servers after a month or so. Probably going to play and I'm about as casual as you can get in WoW. Subbed less than a year total...

WoW 2 would be my preference. Start new and sunset WoW 1. It's already being abandoned by the players. Do the EQ thing and launch classic WoW progressions servers every couple of years for people who like the race.

Guess you missed Woodstock (as did I). Every generation of kids just out of school and home always rebel against what they see as Tyranny. Even though it was just their parents telling them to take out the trash.

Loot and drama. The main reason most raiding guilds fall apart. I wonder how real life pirates dealt with it. "Arr matey THAT'S MINE!. I did more DPS on that gold filled galleon! To the yard arm with ye!" Buff out the main tank (or whatever is the critical class) first and hope he sticks around...

Excellent stuff. Hope to see more like this in the future.

Yeah, I worded that badly. If I recall correctly you use to be able to stop leveling at 19 and just play a twinked out toon in low level BG's forever, or well, until they changed it. But it's been a long time, don't recall the exact details anymore.

This thread reminds me of... pretty much every WoW thread ever.

BG's during TBC were a ton of fun. Most of my time playing WoW was during that time in BG's. Never made max level, but loved playing BG's. Even had a lvl 19 twink after a while. Think it was a druid, but I played a lot of low level BG's on various toons back then. If they let you twink again, I...

Yeah. Love the franchise but it's a bit weird and creepy sometimes. Different cultures and all. After the general population has moved on in a few years, most of the players left in the west will be the creeps. Happened to Aion.

Pretty hard to believe since GW2 is one of the most popular MMO's. What I've heard is that they are working on Living World Season 5, that will come out next. After that, another expansion. Lol. Yeah, lots of people complaining about the time gate. Still working on earlier episodes so haven't...

Path of Fire (PoF) gives you access to mounts. You will need that at a minimum if you want them. They are extremely helpful, even in the old world. Heart of Thorns (HoT) has a ton of content and meta events that people like to farm. I definitely recommend it. Most people go back to HoT zone...

Last episode of Living World Season 4 is up. Free for a week or so if you log in. It has the new mount - Skyscale.

Playing Elite Dangerous recently. Good game, has been for a while. SC has a long ways to go to beat Elite. At this rate, I'm seriously doubting they can do it before we all reach retirement age.

Plenty of mmos being made in Asia. Most of which are grind til you're blind games with P2W shops. It's the west that has given up on mmos.

The media likes QB's. Nothing exciting about this draft's QB's, even the short one. Lot of value this draft in the defense, just not as easy to evaluate or put a meme too.

They are still working on base systems (64 bit client, network stuff, etc.), so it will be a while before anything cool is available to play. I think Mark mentioned in a post somewhere that once the base systems are done then making he rest of the game will be relatively fast because they are...

Finally got an invite. Played a bit a couple of days ago. Very polished, especially for a alpha. Didn't get far but the beginning is interesting.

There is no game yet to review. The people panning Pantheon are actually just attacking Brad for various reasons. As for Pantheon, it's just too early to say if it's good or bad. And being a crowdfunded game, it will be a very long time before there is a game to play or have a valid opinion of...
