Gosh, what a lot of days.

it wouldnt' be one guy though, it would be every power levelling & gold faming service out there. I hear what you're saying, but I understand why they have the policy, esp when you can have a 10 day free trial.

The policy is to stop you selling chars though. Seems fair enough, can't really think of a better way? Make the cutoff level 22 and you'll have sites selling 21 chars. Ruins the game, innit.

And what level?

My recently rolled 17 mage: 1 day, 0 hours, 42 minutes. n00b.

You?

Stop being a bitch. Roll a horde lock on a pve server and come join the fun!

Drop me a pm if you want one of those levelling guides that tells you where to go etc....

Hehe, thx

It never dawned on me to mention in a 'what do I need to know?' thread that botting was Bad. I kinda took it as a given.

Ya, me too. Didn't stop to think that paying someone else to play would get me banned/was bad, but hey. Didn't think about whether they'd bot or not.

They'll just come back with a canned response I reckon. They must ban a shitload of accounts each week and to be fair botting is up there as the biggest offender apart from harassing other players and selling gold.

Ya, most likely. Worth a go though.

So can you sign up again and start over? Or are you banned for life (on that address/credit card)?

And if you can sign up again, will you?

Meh. Yeah, I started a new character, but am pretty bummed tbh. If I was doing it on my main I'd be able to accept it more, but to be fucking around with another character and lose my main.... that hurts.

I'm still hopeful that my appeal will be successful: once they reply to my mail I'll send them a pleading 'i was stupid, please let me keep my main' email. Fingers crossed it works out.

You know, I didn't even think about it in truth. fucknuts. Here's what they said in their mail to me:

"reoccurring trends in exploitative endeavors on your accounts have ultimately lead to their closure"

and

"Section 5, Paragraph C [Rules Related to Game Play] states that you may not do anything that Blizzard Entertainment considers contrary to the "essence" of World of Warcraft."

Exploitative endeavors? Eh? Bot?

So i made a big mistake this week: wanted to try VC with a different class to my main or secondary, so I paid a chinese outfit to power level up to 20 for me. brand new character, same account. Honestly didn't think for a second that it was against the rules/cheating. Just wanted to see what it'd be like to do VC with a lock. You can, of course, guess what happened next. Account banned. Fuckidy fuck. My 35 priest and 23 warrior, fucked. days and days put into the game, gone. Very stupid of me, but I was only messing around... honestly didn't even think about whether I was doing anything wrong.

Gutted.

) :

i was at raven hill with three others yesterday, taking out ghouls and whatnot. Two horde (Undead and Troll) turn up and start giving us grief... fade took the ghouls off me, shield kept me safe(ish), fear or if either of the above didn't work, and i was able to focus on fighting the undead and troll.

Or am I missing something here?

No, fade is completely pointless in PvP. What it does is reduces a mobs threat on you for a short period of time

Right, so if you're getting jumped around non player characters, it comes in handy, non? Allows you to focus on the player character rather than the mob.

For mana regeneration, when you kill a mob with spirit tap your mana regen doubles for 15 secs if you kill the mob once outside the five second rule otherwise you gain 50% either whilst casting or until you get outside the FSR. It means you have little to no down time drinking. When in the FSR you don't naturally regenerate any mana, although later on you'll pick up items that have MP5 stats on which isn't affected by the FSR.nd to be for those "oh shit!" moments, or when you're well into the Shadow tree and killing 4 mobs at once.

This was particularly useful, btw. Thanks. I just realized i could respec, so I ditched all the stuff I didn't need and went full shadow, with the exception of two points in healing focus. I'm starting to be able to look after myself a little bit now, which is ace!

Fade is completely useless in PvP. Aggro doesn't exist when you're fighting player characters.

Depends where you're fighting them, no?

Ok, I'm level 25 now.... starting to like being a priest. First 20 levels were kinda tough, but i'm starting to Kickass now so it's a bit more fun. PVP thing is fine: shield/fade/fear. Sorted.

And yep, am in the US.

I'd highly recommend sticking your first talent points in Spirit Tap

Took wands, but why spirit tap?

Also - can anyone point me in the direction of a good resource for learning about talent point (and how I get them), and the various professions? I've done no training in any professions just yet....

yeah, i did that too. Total rubbish.... would die before the hearthstone worked.

I'm loving my wand though. and all the other tips... thanks folks, I guess priests aren't so rubbish afterall

I just bought myself a wand. Excellent: I'm not getting creamed anymore.

Awesome, thanks everyone. Exactly what I was looking for. I just hit level 12 and am dying a bit less now, which makes it more fun.

Back with more questions later, I'm sure

I'm on a pvp server (Magetheridon), have a level eight priest. Seem to be dying rather a lot.

Any must-have addons that'll actually work? Tried some of the ones from the addons thread, but all seem to be incompatible now.

Anyone got any good general newbie tips for me? What do I need to know?

Ahh, ok. I'm very new to it all myself, see, and my main character is a night elf rogue

Night Elf Rogues can fuck right off.

Porque?

Woo, quite a lot of vehemence and vitriol. =)

Perhaps related to your snide response to the first reply in the thread.

Well, he is at least pimping his forum with something relevant. There are people who want to know tech details for the system too oddly enough (like those with import machines but no component devices) , so I'm not sure what the problem is with the link itself.

Well, he himself says:

1. Do your own damned research before asking stupid questions. Google works, use it.

So this thread should get deleted really.

Awesome! Not sure why you're telling us/me this, but I'll be sure to give your unsolicited opinion the consideration it deserves.

Exactly what I was thinking about your forum. Spooky.

Am watchign this all the same, but it still feels like a show that didn't quite make the HBO cut. It's they had that meeting where they brainstorm as many plot ideas as possible, but forgot to have the meeting a little bit later where they cut most of them.

Garcia’s story is different. He’s had a few knocks but they’ve all been of the professional variety and he is young and talented enough to take them in his stride.

He might not have delivered in the majors yet but he is a major-league performer in this event. A bit like Monty, he putts in Ryder Cups as well as Tiger putts every week on tour.

And he also pulled off the most remarkable recovery shot I have ever witnessed, and I’m not sure the TV cameras picked it up because his drive was so wayward he was off their radar. The on-course radio commentary certainly knew nothing about it but the 500 or so who witnessed it will never forget it.

The shot came at par-four 11th. It dog-legs left and the Spaniard was clearly thinking about that when he hooked his drive into within 20 yards of the 12th tee, which is what everybody around me was looking at when his ball clattered into us and came to a rest under a tree.

At first nobody could work out where the ball had come from. It was that bad. But then Sergio came bouncing up the hill towards us, politely asked the crowds to part so he could see where the green was and then started to plan a flight path.

What followed was stunning. From an uphill lie, he sent the ball high over a huge oak tree that stood about 50 yards in front of him, blocking his way to the pin. Having cleared that, he managed to bring his ball to a halt, 10ft to the left of the pin.

Middle-aged men were hugging and high-fiving each other all around me. It was pure Seve Ballesteros genius.
