I get some crazy lag when I play on gurubashi.
Like I click raptor strike, and he doesn't do it until 2 seconds later.

Wrong. They have servers on both the west coast and east coast in separate datacenters. The east coast datacenter was hit by a tornado during beta.

Just dinged 30.

Well I just checked my latency on Gurubashi (PST) and it was 224ms. I then went to Mal'Ganis (CST) and my latency was 232ms. I live on the East Coast. Therefore, I think my argument that the server timezone should not affect latency stands.
 
I just transferred my 62 rogue over to this server. My name is taken so i'll have to come up with a new one. Start bugging me for dungeon runs and free gold!

yeah, right now my ping on gurubashi is 121ms and I'm in EST. not quite the east coast, but close enough.
 
So when do you guys want to hit up some instances?

YES. Please and thank you. (player name Nimbal:D )

I'm at level 16, but I'm planning on hitting WC when I hit 18. Grab all of the quests for it and blow through it.

I'm level 15 now but I'll do WC at 18-20ish for sure. guess that means I should head over to barrens sometime and get those prequests.

ok, I just hit 16, but I'll probably hit 18 sometime after I wake up a few hours from now. I should point out I flip flopped and went BE mage after I got bored of my orc lock... but I'm the same level on both guys so it doesn't really matter, heh.
 
I would definitely be interested in this, as not many people where I live play WoW, so it's hard to find a good group of people you can trust to play with.

How bad do you think the latency would be coming from the UK? I've played on a US server a little bit from here and it didn't seem too bad at the time...

I used to play hardcore on the US servers, and you can play fine, I used to raid MC and crap way back. However I wouldn't recommend it, you'll have to stay up pretty late to raid, and generally you won't be online at the peak hours.

Nah I'm a notoriously bad night owl when it comes to what time I play my online games (I don't get off work 'till late so I usually play for four or five hours before I go to bed, and on the weekends I'm staying up late anyway.

I should be alright, I just need to get a character transfer for my level 63 warlock, as I really hate starting up without any backup help. I think I'll role a priest unless the guild has enough of them already? I'd like to roll something useful anyway...

I think I've just run out of steam with this game. Loaded up my character and just cannot be bothered to move him anywhere :lol

Ah well.

I'll be up on this once I get off work. Hopefully we can get it to work. I'm really sad about my guild on regular side. No personality and gaming isn't fun with them anymore.

Wow, how convenient. I have an old level 11 Orc Warrior on Gurubashi with 100 gold from an old goldbuying experiment. This might pull me back into WoW again. Oh no! :lol

honestly, when I look at what the guild needs, it seems like they need warriors and maybe some kind of healers. not really sure on that last one.

I got my mage to 22 but I bet I will hate him when I start going into contested zones and getting one shotted by night elf rogues/hunters with nothing better to do. I already had some stupid druid trying to annoy me in ghostlands yesterday, as if I couldn't tell he was level 70.

I guess I shouldn't say we need warriors... I don't even know what, as a guild, we "need," but looking at the roster there are very few tanks, shamans, and, really, just about everything but mages/locks/priests/druids. not that it really matters since most of the guild is pretty low level.

geez taking forever to get patch 2.3.0. I have no clue how long it's gonna take me to get all my mods and buttons right again :lol

You realize how much time you spent on that stuff when it's all gone.

I always just use Photek UI. Fairly minimalistic, doesn't bog performance down.

Wow, so awesome, thats why horde rules, no goddamn treehuggers :D

There's a fanmade video i've seen in the past few days (its old but i only recently bothered to check), both videos are from the same guy, really good production value for fan made

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/stream.php?id=55423&stream=Stage6

1st movie is some staged story and some pvp, some good fights too.
2nd movie about Xmas, i laughed out loud when he gave the gift to gamon (you know, the tauren that hangs at orgrimmar tavern and always gets killed).

well, was working on an undead priest and wasn't too sure about him so thought i'd try out a tauren warrior. i got ya covered!

Edit: What's the opinion on multiple characters in the guild (never been part of one before). The Warrior I'm playing is near caught up to my Priest but isn't part of the guild, think I might prefer to make him my main.

Hey, if anyone needs some extra herbs (lower level) for starting Alchemy or just randomly, let me know.

If you guys are seriously leveling and shit I might roll a shaman or something, I've never played a healer really, spec'd my old shaman resto for like one Kara raid, but I assume I'd be ok.
 
So having never really tried a combat heavy class I have opted to make a Warrior alt named Dimmu. Someone in the guild please add me. For I am lonely. /cry

Started up a Blood Elf Hunter named Vaelyris.

I'll probably end up making another character too, not sure what yet though.

I have a 28 Resto Shaman on Gurubashi now, so if anyone needs a healer for instances send me a tell and I'll get on him.

Just upgraded my account from trial to full + BC. Blizzard is like a drug dealer, the first hit is always free :lol

I will say that it's cool that Blizz lets the rest of my trial run out + my free month before charging me. Essentially I get to play free for a month and a half.

sorry that I haven't been on gurubashi much lately. I just got hooked on leveling my shaman on a pve server again, plus my WoW account runs out (temporarily) the same week that SSBB comes out. I'm not leaving my WoW account cancelled for a long time, though. soon as I have the money again for another 3 month plan I'll renew and play again.

Bout to roll a ud preist. I'm a bit of a newb, I had a 20 warrior and a 49 warlock on my friend's father's account playing sparingly for about two years. Looking forward to joining the guild.

Who all has the power to invite people to the guild? Is mana the guild leader?
Yeah, plus several officers. Just do a /who Gnomes are Food on your general chat to get a listing of nicknames and bug one of the higher level guys for an invite.

Anyone want guild leadership? I'm still playing, but I don't know how active I'll be right now. Some things are going on and the guild is flourishing and I don't want to see it die off.

And with this, the guild usually dies. :(

How many people are in the guild right now? I am thinking of starting up again so I can have a 70 in time for Lich King and a NeoGAF guild would be sweeeeet.

Most of the time when i'm on I see about 3 people on in the guild. maybe 2. So not too good. I'm thinking of moving to a friends server after that 3 month timer expires.

yeah, I've kinda dropped off the server. it's just because I'm trying to get my shaman on my main server to 70. if nothing else, should the GAF guild be around when WotLK comes out I'll make a DK on there if all the rumors they've had about the DK unlock are true.

Manabyte made me guild leader yesterday, but today my mom exploded and deleted the game off the mac, deleted my profile and password protected the mac so i couldn't get on. Therefore the guild is officially dead. I have no way of getting on to transfer leadership. Also, I apologize to Valanos as in the near future there is no way of me being able to pay you the 600 gold for the mount you let me borrow because there is no way of me being able to get into the game.
