if you know another character's name, just /invite [char name] to group, regardless of where they are, and then they'll show up on the minimap. But if you're different races, you'll need to level up a bit before you can travel and meet up.

I'm going to hate to see Booty Bay and IronForge with all these people on board. If it isn't an instanced quest I wouldn't even try it at peak hours.

Just /1 in the command window, and it will pop you into general chat for the area you are in. Also in the large towns, /2 is the trade channel. But trade channel is restricted to some of the towns.

What if you did /leave 1 and thus you no longer have a 1. chat room?

If you did that, then you no longer will get general chat. The only other items to show in that window would be /tells, /party, /guild, and items that drop off of monsters. I hope that helps. You can always /join 1 again if you need to.

Its teh invalid channel namesz. It's so lonely not hearing people scream at each other.
I'm Whiskeyjack, a Night Elf hunter in whatever the hell that cliched elf tree city is called. I think it has shadow in the name, to the surprise of nobody, and I think it's on the island to the north of the main continent. Why am I a chick? I literally just forgot to click back on male when before I hit create. :\
WOW its name and my reaction, this game beats FFXI at everything.
Dieing isn't long an painful. Graveyards are like 10 secs away.
The environment is beautful, and great sound. Awesome art.
The draw distance isn't cut off cheaply, even when there's like 100 people on the screen.
Most of all, it's freakin fun.

It's probably not the same reason why every diehard FFXI fan takes offense to anyone sharing an opinion opposite their own.

Lesson of teh evening: Don't randomly jump into the great sea without a plan on how your getting back.

Um... his post is comparing a game he's trying out to a game he used to play. So now he suddenly is bitter and sucked at FFXI?
Honestly, his post is completely devoid of any negative or aggressive attitude. What the hell is your problem?
Oh damn I love this so far. Runs great on my mediocre comp, high res is ok if nothing special graphics wise, but some nice effects and NO slowdown at all. A bit of popup, more noticable in the snowy mountains where my gnome is.
No lag, at all, that I've seen. Hundreds of players running around, usually you can see dozens of ppl in front of you in more populated areas, and very few are lagging noticably.
I've stopped playing the night elf and decided to to a Gnome Mage. Great fun, lvl 4 now.

Just some helpful info. Orcs, Tauren, and Trolls all start close to each other and you should be able to meet up around lvl 10 if not sooner. Trolls and Orcs and Dwarves and Gnomes actually start in the exact same areas. The same goes for Dwarves, Gnomes, and Humans. Night elves and Undead start a little farther away but should be able to meet up soon after with either a zepellin, boat, or griffon ride. Always be on the look out for more quest. That is where the real fun lies. Around lvl 20 you should be able to find some instanced zone quest. Dont' be afraid to travel as that will help you get even more quest. Your quest log can hold up to 20 at a time. You can level up fairly fast to 15 and then it slows down a little bit but progress is still at a pretty fast clip. The only auction houses in the game right now are at Ironforge (Alliance), Orgrimmar (Horde), and Booty Bay (Mixed) so those are the busiest cities on the regular servers.
I doubt they have a pvp server up for the stress test, but just so you know, the horde should almost always be less populated than the alliance.
And probably the most newb friendly class in the game is paladin since they're similar to warriors in weapon/armor proficiencies (although they don't get any ranged) and they can heal themselves. Warlocks are probably the toughest to get into, and also are going to be polished up a lot in the future, meaning right now they're a bit sucky compared to how they used to be (although quite frankly, what made them good was pretty much a bug). Another class I wouldn't really try is a druid, they're also due for some polishing. Not really a bad class, it's just that the most polished classes in the game right now are warriors, rogues, mages and priests, with paladins and shamans lower (they don't have talents like the first 4 classes I mentioned do, but they're probably going to get talents next).

any tips for Rogue Players?

"why is it most of the rabid WoW fans are the same bitter people who sucked ass during FFXI?"
Blew ass? I got to lvl 20 and it just wasn't fun.
I had to run for hours to go back and forth from places. WoW has fixed this.
FFXI just felt empty. It had no style, and had shallow art. It wasn't like Final Fantasy at all.
WoW screams art and style. And I love the music too. FFXI had cheesy music, like the extremely annoying login process that you had to enure, it had this terrible music...
FFXI was just a piece of trash that I held onto too long to justify the ridiculous software cost.
Your opinion on it is yours. If you like the game, great. I just can't understand why anyone would.
Edit: I'd like to add I've seen far less lag on Blizzards stress beta test than I've seen in on FFXI's retail software. And that game cuts the viewing distance of characters by like 75 feet, whereas this game I saw at least 100+ people at the spawn point 1 hour after it started. It ran fairly smooth.

i don't have the client. when i heard about the fileplanet subscribers only thing, i stopped caring. if it'll be too much trouble for me to download, you can go ahead and give the key to someone else.
edit: i don't really have much time to play this anyway. the key would be wasted on me. thanks for the offer, though.

Has anyone outside the US got it to work? I have a feeling thats's why it's not working for me, i can log in on my account, but when i select a server it sits there for ages until it gives me this message:
"Failed to connect. Please be sure that your computer is currently connected to the internet and that no security features on your system might be blocking traffic."
I don't use a firewall, only norton antivirus, which i disabled anyway and it still didnt work... does anyone know if this problem is related to me being outside the US or if it's something else? If it is because im not the US, does anyone know of any program/method of hiding my IP from WoW so it doesn't keep me out? Any help would be VERY appreciated, i went through so much trouble getting this to work and getting the client and i've really been looking forward to playing...
