Well I'll be keeping loose track of my adventures in the World of Warcraft in this thread (I was encouraged to do so by a few posters over in the WoW thread to make my own).

I'll just kick it off with a pic of my favorite character.

Name: Melwing
Race: Gnome
Class: Mage
Current Level: 18
Guild: Fellowship of Beyond (guild master)

Special Skills:
-Engineering (153)
-Mining (95)
-Fishing
-Cooking
-First Aid

Good start, special skills fishing and cooking hey.

Do you get to do both those things in the game ?

by **Donatello** on Fri Dec 31, 2004 11:36 am

yes you can honestly do just about anything in this game. for example....

i bought a fishing pole, and a bobber, and learned the fishing skill from a trainer. So I went fishing- and after some practice I can catch fish reguarly. I then learned cooking- and bought recipes to be able to prepare different kinds of fish. Then I learned how to make a fire in the wilderness so I can actually cook without having to find a fire.

After I cook the fish, i can either eat them to regain health, or sell them to another player or a vendor.

Fun stuff

And that's just extra stuff- there are lots of quests (over 2000 already, with more being added all the time) to do, also............but you don't have to do them if you don't want to

Can you become an NBA player, attack a fan, smoke weed, and pick up a hooker on the way home?

Why did u take the Gnome??? :crazyeyes:

by **ATTENTIONWHORE** on Sun Jan 02, 2005 2:17 am

Err....I play StarCraft Online...the new Halo map pwns. However, my friend plays Warcraft and he seems to enjoy it a lot. I think it is very funny - the voice acting is awesome. :lol:

Anyone who wants to battle on StarCraft sometime - just PM me and give me a time.

No more updates?
I guess your really gettin' into it right now

by **Donatello** on Wed Jan 05, 2005 4:48 am

And, my Dwarf hunter character Bosh (with my friend Matt's character Brummel):

by **trubucksfan** on Wed Jan 05, 2005 12:10 pm

good lookin stuff, i was thinkin about picking this game up sometime this week. ive been reading about it alot lately and it seems extremely confusing,maybe you can help clear some things up if i talk to you on instant messenger or something. btw,what server are you on? ive only played sports games my entire life so this is something compleltey out of my element.

by **Jay-Peso** on Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:13 pm

Wait, you can fly on a friggin bird?

by **Donatello** on Wed Jan 05, 2005 4:04 pm

i spelled it wrong up there :oops:

it's spelled Gryphon in the game....but yes, you can ride them. Think of it like a taxi- they take you from place to place (for a fee) so you don't have to walk there.

Update:

Melwing is now level 13.

I started a guild called "Fellowship of Beyond" dedicated to group questing/exploring/adventuring. Just opened today and already has 22 members.

by **Jay-Peso** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 6:38 am

how much is the online service cost monthly?

by **Wormy10** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 9:03 am

Glad to see that you didnt give up on us

I think he told me its free for the 1st month and then $15 a month after that?

by **Donatello** on Fri Jan 07, 2005 9:51 am

yeah the first month is free, and then it's 15 bucks a month. the game comes with 2,000 quests and they add a few new ones all the time.

by **Donatello** on Mon Jan 10, 2005 2:01 pm

melwing is now level 16

guild has 94 members....heh :shock:

by **Wormy10** on Mon Jan 10, 2005 2:06 pm

and counting .....

by **Alcoholic** on Mon Jan 10, 2005 2:23 pm

Why don't you make tauren! I played this game pre release, and it was fun. Dwarves... pfft. I had the best of times.

Nothing like a raid gone awry, 30 dwarves chasing you into the ocean.

P.S. eventually I'm going to try to upload and show you guys a bunch of wow pics from my experience (which was during the beta). I have one right here I just converted, I thought it was kind of funny. :lol:

Most of these pictures are from the end of the world party when the beta servers were about to go down for good... I was undead and I ran, jumped, stowed away, and swam all the way to the human land to party.

by **Donatello** on Tue Jan 11, 2005 5:38 am

hahah yeah i have an orc that lies dead on the road from northshire down to goldshire, i wake him up occasionally to kill cows and chickens. i want to kill that little bastard joshua every time, I right click him even though I know I won't be able to....heh..oh, i didn't know that undead spoke the common tongue! i guess that makes sense, though. when you went to goldshire with him did you come up from grom'gol or did you come south?

*edit: i guess it might be a testment to my skill (haha) that i got a level 2 orc all the way to human lands

by **Alcoholic** on Tue Jan 11, 2005 1:14 pm

To be honest I don't remember.

All I know is I traveled wayyy down to Ratchet, rode the boat to booty bay, and from there I don't know if you can still do it, but back then you could avoid fatigue by just jumping it out, so you would basically jump off the docks at booty bay and swim along the coast to the lighthouse. From there I just avoid the monsters and guards until I can get to goldshire. The problem was there were guards where everyone was dancing. I even tried to respawn in the inn, but the guards sniffed me out and killed me.

I was looking through some more pics from my final adventure in the stress test, here's a pic of me intercepting human battle plans.

It's good to know common.

by **Donatello** on Wed Jan 12, 2005 5:17 am

yeah if you go within the actual city limits they'll get you every time. gotta stay just outside goldshire in elwynn forest. i also have tried ressurecting in the inn, but i think the guards are a little TOO good in that respect. they just instantly know that you're there even though they're outside. i think someone should have to yell, or alert a guard first, when you ressurect inside.

EDIT: notes on that screenshot: how did you make it almost into stormwind?? great job.

update on melwing:

yesterday i worked hard on his engineering, got his skill up to nearly 100 (Started the day at 0, zlich, nada), he can now make rough boomsticks (guns), dynamite, and lots of other fun stuff. progressed to the rank of "Journeyman" in both engineering and mining. Today I'll be working on those a bit, as well as getting my fishing and cooking ratings up a bit. I'll also be hardcore trying to get to level 20, with the help of a few guildsmen. I'm sitting at 17 right now.

by **trubucksfan** on Wed Jan 12, 2005 9:07 am
