Re: World of Warcraft
A sticky thread has been opened for users to display their character and server information. It should make exchanging the information easier than scrolling through lengthy discussion threads about the game.
I hope it helps.

Re: World of Warcraft
Be warned! The latest patch to this game is the worst excuse for an "improvement" I have ever seen. They (Blizzard) introduced an "honor system" that allows you to gain honor but no dishonor. What this means is a level 60 (the level cap) can go around ganking lower levels gaining honor and rewards with no punishment what so ever for these dishonorable acts,in fact they reward such behavior!
 Also with this patch players go around killing quest NPC's so that you can not even turn in your quests. Not only that there are area effect spells in this game and even if you are NOT flagged to take part in the PvP you can be killed by these types of spells. Some areas in the game now are completely impossible to navigate due to lag from the PvP battles and you WILL be caught in them if you go there, flagged for PvP or not. If you die they will camp your corpse and kill you over and over. So you talk to the spirit healer at the graveyard and guess what they camp the graveyard as well. Even the original Ultima Online, where you could gank to your hearts content, had punishment for this type of behavior. This company, Blizzard Entertainment has no clue what so ever in the Player vs Player arena and that is strange considering they have or had Rob Pardo from the original Ultima Online team as the Lead game designer. He must have quit or been fired I guess. This really shows a poor effort on the part of a company that came up with such a great and fun game and have now basically turned the entire thing into ... Lord of the Flies. Rahl |

Re: World of Warcraft
Still sounds like a vast improvement over the God Mode PKers of the original Diablo days.
Lace has the conch? Well, there goes the island.  Actually, I first misread Lace's post and thought he made a drug reference.... [Additional Note: Speaking of the original Ultima online game, wasn't the company sued for not protecting their paying customers of the server from hackers?]

Re: World of Warcraft
That's what was precised when I downloaded it yesterday. Honor system only on PvP servers. But it may be a specificity of french servers.
however I'm more into EQ2 and sport games for work currently.

Re: World of Warcraft
Yes. And it's quite good, not as easy than WoW but richier (sp ?) in history. Graphically it's a beauty.
Sport games : - Rugby 2005 - FiFA 2005 - LFP - Rugby Pro Manager - Tiger Woods 2005 - Top Spin (an oldie but boss wanted tennis) - Cycling Manager Pro (same with cycling) - NBA 2005 Soon will be testing the Gizmondo, PSP and DS. Just come back from a demo by Gizmondo. And have a zillions MP3 players to test...

Re: World of Warcraft
The Patch I posted about is for the North American servers I am not sure if this version is on any other servers. It is on all servers in North America RP, PvE, and PvP. It has the most impact on your gameplay on the PvP servers and it will make it nearly impossible to level a character to 60 now that this patch is in place. So having said that, if you do plan to play WoW on the North American servers, I would recomend you choose an RP server or a Normal server.

Re: World of Warcraft
I found EQ2 to be way too clunky compared to WoW. WoW just feels more fleshed out and smoother than EQ2, despite its history.
