If alliance, Iron Forge and Stormwind will be a pain during peak hours, but other than that, you should be fine if you turn down some of the settings (the game will still look good, too).

Groovy. Thanks!

Peregrine · 12-19-2004, 09:13 AM

Is there a general FOFC server? I bought this game to backup EQ2 and of course EQ2 starts with some mega crash where they corrupted all the character data on our server so I've been playing it for a few days. Been having fun with a dwarven hunter and undead rogue so far.

The_herd · 12-19-2004, 10:54 AM

Most are on Lothar. Calis and I are on Deathwing.

kingnebwsu · 12-19-2004, 02:05 PM

Me and 2 non-FOFC buddies are on Elune.

RainRaven · 12-19-2004, 06:27 PM

Finally picked this up today. I created a human priest on Lothar.. seems pretty fun so far for my first hour of playing. Character name is Dorrain.

kingnebwsu · 12-19-2004, 11:40 PM

Did they finally make a way to transfer servers? From glancing through the WoW forums, I think it may be possible, but it takes like an hour. Enlighten me great ones

Bad-example · 12-20-2004, 01:47 AM

I have been watching the local ads but have not seen this game on sale yet. Maybe Fry's will come through for me this week.

fflix · 12-25-2004, 06:02 AM

does anyone know of a site that contains information on selling prices of goods, such as metals or cloths? I'm just getting started with selling metals at the auction house, but am not too sure what reasonable prices are. The server I play on, dunemaul, has a low population, so there doesn't seem to be much info to go on at the auction house.

I doubt there's much info out there. The economies are very..fluid, depending on demand.

For example, I've been selling stacks of heavy leather for 45-49s buyouts. Yesterday I went to auction some off and there wasn't much in the marketplace, but a buyout for 65s and they went in 10 minutes. Two hours later, the buyout price was back to 50s.

sabotai · 12-25-2004, 10:50 AM

Well, the thing with the AH is that there isn't much on them. Most people either 1) Use the raw materials they mine/gather/skin or 2) Give them to guild members (At least 3 out of 4 people I see is in a guild). So you just don't find much on the AH and so a lot of times the price for the items is simple determined by someone guessing how much someone would pay for it. So there are times you can see things like a stack of Greater Healing Potion buyouts for 35s, and then you will see them with buyouts of 1G (which is where I put mine).

The best way is to just watch the auction house prices for a couple days and that should give you an idea of what a lot of the stuff goes for. Prices also vary greatly from server to server. On Deathwing, for example, the price for linen, silk, copper and other metals spiked considerably over a period of a couple days. While a lot of other servers are being flooded with skins and the prices for those have bottomed out. It would be impossible for a website to have suggested prices that fit all servers.

The economy in WoW is interesting. Forcing items to be Soulbound when used was a great move by Blizzard that has really driven the economy. Quicksand could probably enjoy a month of just watching the fluctuation of prices on the AH.

Just wanted to toss in that my wife is picking up a copy of this game for me on the way home from work.

People still around?

RainRaven · 12-30-2004, 03:17 PM

Yep, I am now an level 11 priest on Lothar and enjoying the game mostly. I like the quest system since it seems to be far superior to anything I ever saw in EQ. Question for everyone though, how many characters can you have at one time? I didn't remember seeing that mentioned anywhere including the manual.

Bad-example · 12-30-2004, 03:54 PM

I have a level 9 paladin on Lothar. I am still figuring out the game but I like it better than eq2 already.

Critch · 12-30-2004, 04:11 PM

I've switched sides on Lothar, gone over to the Horde. Seems to be fewer people playing as Horde, so no queues waiting for bosses to respawn like occasionally on the Alliance side.

Come on, come and join me on the dark side

The Orc and Undead capitol cities are worth the trip alone.

RainRaven - not sure how many you can have, but I've got 6 at the moment and haven't met any restrictions.

Godzilla Blitz · 12-30-2004, 04:57 PM

Shall I start a new thread to list up the various info about FOFC members?

Maybe the following:
FOFC Name, WoW Character name, Class, Server, Alignment, (level?)

sabotai · 12-30-2004, 05:32 PM

I think listing them here is fine. Everyone who plays WoW probably checks this thread anyway.

Here are my characters:

Sabotai - level 35 Night Elf Druid - Lothar
Atenkane - level 11 Dwarf Hunter - Lothar
Nadja - level 12 Human Rogue - Darkspear (PVP)
Neursio - level 7 Human Paladin - Magtheridon

And I plan on creating an Undead player (probably Mage)

fflix · 12-30-2004, 06:15 PM

I think you can have 10 characters per realm.

Aleena - lvl 13 Undead Mage - Lightbringer
Brand - lvl 18 Dwarf Hunter - Dunemaul

Bad-example · 12-30-2004, 08:09 PM

Loblo the Dwarven Paladin is on Lothar - level 11

The_herd · 12-30-2004, 08:20 PM

Kurigan - lvl 42 Gnome Rogue - Deathwing

Godzilla Blitz · 12-30-2004, 08:42 PM

Just to make things a bit easier to see, I've started a main character list in a separate thread. That way there will be one master list right in the first post. Might make it easier for people to figure things out. I've taken the info from your posts here and put it in.

flere-imsaho · 01-04-2005, 10:51 AM

Multiple Characters sending stuff to each other?

So, here's the question. Let's say you have a few characters on the same server. One's out exploring a lot, and does a lot of skinning and mining, but doesn't do crafting. Another one sticks to cities and crafts a lot. Maybe another is an enchanter. Can you funnel raw materials from one character to another? Funnel finished items as well?

I understand it's probably more fun to do this in a guild context, but since I don't have a guild to join (and let's be honest, I haven't bought the game yet), I'm wondering what exists for the single player.

You can mail your other characters stuff, so it is very easy to do. I've been reading about players creating a half dozen or so characters to support each other's skills.

I don't think I'll do this, though. For me, it would take a lot of the fun out of skill development.

What you can do is use the in-game mail system to send items from one character to another. It has some drawbacks, you can only send one item/stack of items at a time, it takes an hour to arrive, and it costs some copper to send. But it's pretty much the way to go.

fflix · 01-04-2005, 04:19 PM

A faster alternative, if you have anybody trustworthy around, is to trade your items to the person, logon with your alt, get the items traded back.

flere-imsaho · 01-05-2005, 09:50 AM

So, I'm looking at the maps that have been made for WOW so far, and notice that a lot of it, especially Kalimdor, is currently unmapped. Is this because there's still a lot of the world that's unplayable? If so, do you guys think this stuff will open up later for higher-level players?

Check out the cartography section.

Danny · 01-05-2005, 09:59 AM

These are know as unfinished zones. The plan is for high level content to be added to these zones as time passes. This will be a slow process I imagine, but hopefully the entire Warcraft world will eventually be complete.

Perhaps for an expansion Northrend will become available. Northrend is the continent between Kalimdor and Lordaeron far to the north http://www.x-plores.net/images/MapWo...apBeowolve.jpg.

For those that do not know, Northrend is where Arthas defeated Illidan and took the icecrown of the Lich King and thus joining spirits with him at the end of the Warcraft 3 expansion. Arthas commands a powerful army of the scourge.
