I have too few questions:
1)What is the Tauren capital city?
2)Which of theese transports I cannot use for aliance: Griffin, Ship or Airship?
3)How many characters can I have on one account?
4)What is "Kodo"?

Yeah. :), but that's why I work. :)

What's in a name anyway right? Personally I feel most names I see are silly and I don't like. Like I said a long time ago, I'm not a big fantasy type guy. I like real world stuff, that's why I'm a human warrior, but the game had great reviews and after hearing about it on here, I felt I needed to give it a try. I really like it.

========================================================
Actually I think I'm a tad ugly, but some women disagree, mostly Asians for some reason.

Actually the first month is free ::) So it's only $50 out of your wallet.
And I imagine that if you used a guest pass you could get 40 days free, but not sure if they allow that.

Anywho, I'll throw out my question.
To shield or not to shield?
Right now I have two options:
1) ~450 shield, 10 block, and 12.5 damage per second sword
or
2) Just a two-handed Paladin's holy beat-you-up-real-bad -cause-I-did-a-long-quest-for-this hammer that does 25 damage per second.
? I haven't tried option 1 yet, and I think it'd be hard for me to gauge anyway. Reason why I haven't tried is that I have to train my sword skill, cause right now I just miss every shot, and I've been doing quests soo...haven't had time.

Oh, and another question. What Seal should I be using (Paladin)? I got Seal of Righteousness, Seal of Fury, Seal of blah blah, etc etc. I usually use the one that boosts rate of attack (but decreases damage per hit; actual attack goes up though overall), but shrugs.

That is the lamest thing I have ever heard of. Good lord. Its a frigging game for crying out loud. Who cares if the next guy's name is spelled in l33t speak or is just something absolutely retarded?

I started to play Asheron's Call 2 the other day and named my character 'jerkface', which is sort of a joke between me and my roommates. I was going to name him something more inappropriate but I figured at that point the server admins might ban me for that.

I've yet to see a 1337 name. You can't even use non-letters, so I'm not sure how you'd go about that. :)

Anyway, on to the lightning round ...

Thunder Bluff.

Quote:

2)Which of theese transports I cannot use for alliance: Griffin, Ship or Airship?

Alliance use boats, Horde use Airships. Same function. Both factions have air transport in the form of gryphons or wyverns too.

Quote:

3)How many characters can I have on one account?

50, I think. Only 8 per server though (one per class, more than enough).

Quote:

4)What is "Kodo"?

Tauren mount. Big ugly thing, really. :)

Druid - Cat form damage per second increased

I'd like to believe that. I really would. :)

The other class improvements sound great. I hope the Warrior improvements affect my Bear mode too. You'd think missing attacks would make you madder; sure has that effect on me. ;D

Anyway, I'm online. Come whisper Shii.

I stopped by a computer store today to see if I could replace my new and not working SB Live! 7.1 for a real sound card (well, an older SB Live! 5.1). The staff was busy discussing World of Warcraft. I have spoken to people who have lost people they know because they went to play World of Warcraft.

Soon it will be everywhere.

I thought Taurens couldn't use mounts? Guide says they're too big and must use their racial ability.

Also, why are all the Horde big? I'm guessing it's to scary us small Alliance folk :P

I think it would be ridiculous if Blizzard banned "Allegrorick".

I don't think so. How would you like it if you were reading the Lord of the Rings and good ole Allegrorick joined up to help Frodo make it to Mordor?

And is it really so hard to pick a decent name for the sake of those that like to Role Play, even occasionally?

I would say, hello Allegrorick, come helps us. Because I would realize this is still a game, and that the name is by no means offensive. For 99.9% of the people playing that name wouldn't break the fantasy. You could never find a name that would not break the fantasy for everyone. No matter what name you pick, there will be a person out there that relates the name to reality and the fantasy world is broken. For us non fantasy buffs, we don't know how to choose a "fantasy" name, but are money is just as green as yours. :)

I usually make up names based on a random sequence of alternating fowels and consonants, then removing and shuffeling characters until I find something I like - although I usually end up with an existing name or a name that also appears elsewhere (then again, any pronouncable sequence of fowels and consonants is likely to be a word somewhere and this is even true of unpronouncable ones such as krk). Depending on the setting I may pick an ending for the name in advance.
Names I've made for various reasons (mostly fantasy stories and D&D) in this way include Dorior, Doric, Siane, Orman, Artican, Risic, Meleida, Dzhana, Deotan, Renah. Of those, I probably like Meleida most.
(EDIT: I don't plan on playing World of Warcraft, so I probably don't need any of those for a character name. Feel free to try them out if you're so inclined and see if they're already taken. Do let me know though).

I can pronounce "krk" just fine.
It's a funny thing with names since they depend on culture. And how should one know the naming conventions (as in: how WoW inhabitants actually name their offsprings) in WoW?
Also, since the players are the inhabitants, the names they choose refelect the commonly used names. While "Peter" might be a boring name, why shouldn't it be a valid name for a human?

Same for Allegrorick. If I'd see a person with that name in WoW I wouldn't be disturbed. In fact, I'd pronounce it Alleg-Rorick and would think it's fine. In fact, all that elves with names anding in -omil or -lendra really get on my nerves. And why end most human names in -orn or -mir?
You can't even choose nice dwarfen names, because you can't use long names or spaces.

So, why bother? (As long as you don't play on a RP server, that is)

Well, if Blizzard would take it as seriously as X-G, they wouldn't have added the /moon command.

It does exactly what you'd expect it to do :)
It belongs to the wide group of "gesture" commands supported by WoW...
