I've been using an add-on called WIM that does that same thing. And for keeping up to date on addons, I use WoWmatrix, which is how I found WIM.

i'm on the euro servers,
level 80 resto druid, been playing four years or something
got lvl 70 alts mage/hunter i just cant be arsed to lvl and a 64 dk ofc
did all the tbc end game stuff cleared black temple etc, all wolk instances done on heroic, bored with running 10 and 25 man nax atm waiting for rest of guild to get geared so we can move on :)
but got myself a lovely girlfriend 3 weeks ago and not been on wow since :)

It's rogue goddamnit!!!! Sorry pet peeve, I played a rogue in EQ, and got tired as hell of people calling me red cheek make up.

Plus I've been a poster on The Safehouse for, well since about forever. And we rogues don't take kindly to others misspelling our title.

This isn't really a spelling flame just a pet peeve. :)

I've spent the last two nights working on Achievements.

Shadow, my friend just told me about WIM last night. Was thinking about giving it a shot. Just haven't gotten around to doing anything with it yet.

Smooth, I never understood the rush to run up like that. I'm sure you took longer than some, but to run enough end game content already that you have to wait on your guild to catch up to.....that's a commitment to the game that I just can't fathom. Grats on the g/f though. It's nice to have a different kind of distraction.

i was basicaly working getting home and raiding 3 or 4 nights and farming mats the other days while eating at pc , became a addiction really, taking week off work to play wolk really brought it home :)
got some great mates on there though from all over europe we meet up once a year for a long weekend and have a great time

I played hard when Lich King first came out. Jumped two levels in 5 hours. Then not this past weekend but the weekend before I played hard and jumped up another four. I've never taken a day off to play though. Every once and awhile I just get into a zone where all I want to do is play and then after a few days, I get on do a few quests or a dungeon crawl and then sign off. That goes on for months on end.

ok so I too am a WOW player, I have a lvl 80 balance druid on gnomeregan server, both my husband and I play hes a warrior lvl 80
:thumbs:

I haven't called in sick because of WoW. I have taken a vacation day, and spent it doing nothing but playing though. I did call in sick twice back in my Everquest days because a raid ran past 2am, and I needed to sleep.

I kind of have a rule when it comes to that. If I'm playing and I have to work the next day, but I'm in a dungeon crawl I give it till 11:30 pm my time. If they don't like it because the healer leaves oh well.

The first time I did it was because of a corpse run. In EQ you used to respawn naked at your bind point. You then had to retrieve your corpse with all your gear on it. We had a horrible wipe, and there were only two of us rogues at the raid. I bet I still have the screenshots of me standing under Vox's but while asking for permission to drag corpses.

Back when I played EQ, I owuld sometimes have problems with my interface: after I respawned, occasionally for whatever reason, my coprse would not be visible on my screen, nor could I interact with it. I checked, and it was visible to other players. I'd have to log/relog, eventually the corpse would show up.

Until then, I'd jump up and down on it. I think it amused some people.

That's a lot like Ultima Online. If you died you got respawned somewhere had to run back pick up your shit and hopefully it would still be there. Luckily, World of Warcraft is not like that.

Question for the Hunters: Any tips on where to go for level 80 gear without hitting heroics? My mom's main is a hunter and at level 80 she only has 1900 attack power. Most of her gear looks to be early 70 quest greens and because of this she is having problems getting groups to get the heroic gear. She doesn't play on my server so I have no way of really helping her beyond doing what I've already done. Which was to respec her. I can't play her toon through a few dungeons because I'm not used to hunters and I don't want to mess up her action bars. So any tips on what dungeons to run and anything else you can think of would be much appreciated.

Not sure how much this will help, but some of the gear for getting exalted with the various Wrath factions can be helpful (I can't speak for hunter gear, cause my hunter is no where near high enough level to consider going to Outlands, let alone Northrend). Additionally, if she has the time to put into it, the gear you can get from honor via the battleground or Wintergrasp (which also has some nice gear) can be helpful. I only rarely run heroics (and only when a friend needs an extra hand), so this is how I get most of my better gear.

I didn't even think about pvp gear to help get her up to where she needs to be. I'm not fond of it, so I don't think about it. PvP just isn't my thing.

I'm not a huge fan of it, most of the time. But there just those days when you want to kill something other than CPU-ran creatures :roflmao:

But, truthfully, I really enjoy Wintergrasp on those occasions that I do show up for it. And Strand has its moments too

PvP can be a lot of fun as a break.

I hit 80 late last week. So I've been just messing around, trying to finally get epic flight. I haven't been this broke since I got my first mount at 40.

I have my epic flying mount, but I don't have my epic flying skill. Still trying to get the money for that one. I keep advertising in trade that I will give them nothing in exchange for the amount I'm short. No one likes that idea it seems. Guess I have to do it the hard way and actually work for it. Ewwwww. I've done wintergrasp once and all I did was shoot one of the big cannons at the tanks that were rolling up. That was fun.

Best option to gear anyone up is to focus on reg dungeons and get faction rep. As you get exhalted with each faction...youll get access to better gear and be able to hook up more heroics. Also theres plenty of decent epic craftable items that people may be selling on the AH.

BTW my main is a shammy on Echo Isles. Also my old main was a pally...and I have a hunter on cenarius that I'm leveling :D

Finally, a fellow shammy. What spec? I'm resto all the way. My question and problems are with my mother's toon, which happens to be on a different server than me. Otherwise, there would be no problem. I told her to run regular dungeons and one of her guildies made her an epic gun to use. Jumped her stats quite a bit just switching out the gun and a pair of gloves. She's still got a way to go. Thanks again for all the help.

For those Pixies that play and haven't logged in today: 3.1 RELEASED TODAY! Which means we get several new things so make sure you read the patch notes. Some include changes to abilities (lots for Death Knights), Ulduar of course, a new pvp area and several others. Also, I haven't noticed any updates for addons, so be sure to load your out of date ones. Carbonite quest and Warcraft Instant Messenger didn't work at all for me. I even had problems with whispers the old school way. Have fun and hope to see you in game if you're on my server. I'm still Kiamvir on Blackhand.

OK.....I'll pass this info on to my stepson and his gf.
And also my gf!!!! It seems *** has recruited his mom to play and I now have a MONSTER on my hands!!!........I'll probably be here a lot more!!...LOL :)

1000G for dual spec!?

I've been working on tailoring, thought I'd have a little longer before the patch. I literally have not been this broke since I was level 20. I have less than 20G.

Oh No :rolleyes2






:thumb: :D :boobs: :x:

Silly girl !!! I can hear you giggling all the way from here :)

I am so tired that you'd likely only hear Zzzzzzzzz today, instead of giggles :rolleyes: The giggles will return though, I promise :x:

"The giggles will return though, I promise "

I know hon.....I know :)

:)

Woot! All my addons are fixed. Carbonite has been retooled and is sweet to behold. I highly recommend it. You can't get it from curse.com anymore though. You have to go to carboniteaddon.com. As an added note of personal accomplishment, I am 803 gold from having my epic flying skill. I forgot how much money simply questing could bring in. I enjoy the new dailies for the area they added. Still have to do Sons of Hodir and Oracles. I want to see what I can get the egg to hatch into. Have fun.



PS-Don't forget to love your loved ones. I know it's hard to leave the game, but petting the puppy every once and awhile never hurts. LOL

Got my epic flying, I'm exalted with Sons of Hodir and working on Ebon Blade. Haven't been doing my oracles. Started leveling a priest and decided I really hate Durotar. Been working on my hunter and death knight's trade skills. It's patch day so I have to wait for the downloads. Anyone got any updates they'd like to share?

I quit working on my main about a month back (I seem to go in cycles of wanting to play my shammy and being completely disinterested in him). Since then, I've been leveling my alts (I have a tendency to want to play everything, so I run one of every class on my main server). My mage is up to 55 (which is where I wanted to get him too, since he can then disenchant Wrath magic items). Since the mage hit 55, I've been working on my Death Knight and Warlock. MY DK is up to 68, but I'm keeping him in the Outlands until he gets all of the Outlands' Loremaster achievements done. My warlock is up to 73, but I've really only been doing the daily jewelcrafting quest with him. All my other characters are 50 or below, eventually one of them will catch my interest again and I'll start leveling them again.
Unfortunately, my main server was one of the few that is still down, so I probably won't get a chance to level tonight.

I know what you mean about not wanting to play the main. Hence the leveling my hunter, priest, and messing with my DK.

I've been working on achievements. It took me three days but I finally got the title of Explorer. I also soloed all of the old world dungeons, and I soloed, Strat three times yesterday working on Argent Dawn faction. I usually hate grinding faction, but I can try and get the Baron's mount in the process.

some one please tell me what is soo addictive about this game as i have seen RL marriages destroyed because of it

Thats a great ????

my gf is playin right now :)....:(

i dont know what's addictive about it...my husband and i both play...we play together on our separate accounts. so do my best friend and her husband and a couple of people from both our jobs. I do know, i've NEVER played a game like this (RPG type) that i've liked...never wanted to...i started this one and loved it. hubby has ALWAYS been into games.

please dont kill me!
 

many of us who play the game tend to be escapists. there is something in our lives we dont want to face, so we hide in a different world where if you try hard enough, no one can have better things than you. no one can judge you on anything but your skill which can be changed. You're dealing with other somewhat socially damaged people, and you seem to bolster one another so you seek out that feeling of belonging and soon the game devours all your free time and you're having to make time to play the game. this is only based on my viewings of people i have known and met personally during my time of playing The Game and my realizations upon my life changes that resulted in my losing the ability to play The Game.

paid for by the law offices of Bama and Kyttn.....

wow. I need to get out more.....

i play a game called second life and its alittle escapist and fun
but nothing like wow.

I worked at a company where this one employee would play 40 hours on a weekend. WTF. That makes no sense to me. He now hashis gf playing and money is tight and who knows what will happen..Sorry but in my own opinion that is not worth it.

my understanding of second life is that its the barrens (hoarde reference) of WOW mostly social?

To an extent Bama is right about WOW being a place where socially damaged people can be with other socially damaged people. I got into it because a friend of mine played, and his now fiance plays. It's where I met Bama in the first place. While there are those who take it to extremes there are also those of us who do it for social interaction (built in chat system) and it is a place where you're talking to like minded people and already have something in common. I don't go out much, because I'm not big into crowds. Especially if I don't know anyone there. If there is someone there I know I generally talk to them and only them. On WOW I only talk to those that I want to, I can ignore the "crowd" because it's in a little window in the bottom of the screen. I'm not forced to be social, but have the option. Add in the fact that you get to go around and kill stuff, do quests, there's professions, dungeons and you get a fairly addictive game. I could and would live without it if I had to, but I hold down my job, do stuff around the house, and still do other stuff besides the game so why should I? Also, imo, if your relationship is broken up by a game (any game not just WOW) I think that it had issues to start with. I could be wrong, I'm not very practiced with them.
