Where are you playing that has lots of rogues? Least played class on my server according to realmpop.
Everywhere. Every guild has too many rogues already.

Haha, I did that like two weeks ago. Got too frustrated and I've just given up since. My account has been active since 2004, so I still have a sliver of hope that Blizz will let me in on an invite wave, but it's getting kinda late.
Rouges seem to be a non-serious throw-away class as of late, ether people twinking or strictly using them for PVP, I hardly see any in PVE...
Yeah, been there since the get-go, and no key, kinda almost don't care anymore, the way they handled this beta sucks...unless you are some streaming star or a bot you don't get a key unless you are lucky.
Sucks.
I have an i3 with intel's onboard graphics. At medium settings its pretty smooth for me, but if I do raiding on it, I have to set everything to low. But its definitely smooth, obviously you sacrifice some quality for portability.Hey guys slightly off topic

750M should be able to handle wow pretty well. Just make sure there are no power saving settings on for the gpu as that can really hit the performance.

What ilvl are you? I did it as Enhance and was probably around 505-510 at the time and after a couple of deaths I ignored the "correct" strategy of breaking bubbles, as far as I recall, and simply went for Bo first and once he went off and creates the shields to be invincible I ignored him and pounded on the other one. Continually scooting around dodges the rockets and maelstrom heals along with spirits wolves, healing totems, and the talent that heals you 30% (or whatever) of the damage dealt is easily enough to keep you healed up.
If you're Elemental I don't know a proper method.
And I believe the gold is given for beating a fight for the first time. Or is it only when you rank up?
I wanna try that gif.
Hey, JSoup, what are you going to buy during the next Steam sale?

Yesterday a fun run with 3 guildies to do Tempest Keep..and first run and Ashes of A'lar dropped..lost by 3 or 4 numbers by a roll. Man i wanted that mount so long did another 2 times on my other chars and no luck
And so the long grind for you begins. Took me about 14 months to get it.

Hi guys, I've stopped playing WoW for three years, and now I'm considering a comeback tour and rush my character to Lv90 and get used to the new mechanics before the new expansion comes out.
I used to main a Human Rogue on Shadowmoon server, but he died and became a Death Knight which I leveled up to 85. I was there since Vanilla and played most of the content up to the first year of Cataclysm before they revamp the talent tree system (my Frost DK was still the tank build back then ~_~).
I'm also planning to start from scratch an Alliance Pandaren Monk on a brand new server-- So... Does anyone have any recommendations ^_^; ?
(Preferably one with a raid guilds recruiting *cough* I had SOME experience with small raids, but I've never got the chance to do the big scale epic raids. I plan on moving my Death Knight over eventually...)

For Alliance, Stormrage, Sargeras, Kel'Thuzad, Proudmoore are the big ones. Stormrage being the largest Alliance server. You can look here if you want to browse more.
And outside a couple niche reasons, I would highly, HIGHLY suggest going to a high-pop, progression realm. Preferably top 2 or 3, but nothing outside the top 15 or 20. It makes such a huge difference having a strong and vast economy with a variety of good guilds to choose from/people to group with.
I am not happy about this..wanted it even back when i was level 70. Ugh..well time to get to work.

Thanks, but what do you mean by high progression? Is there a way to check that?
(And wow, those are some pretty lopsided populations ^_^;; 24171 horde vs 13 Alliance?! wtf @_@)
EDIT:
I forgot to mention, I'm currently in SEA but I'll be spending most of my time in UK, so I guess I'll need to factor in timezone...
I just returned to wow after having quit 2 months after Cata release (bored me to hell).
Holy shit @ all the changes. Talents are all weird. I still don't know what transmorg is supposed to be. Now I gotta level my Shaman (enhance / resto), Druid (resto / boomkin), Warlock (destro / demon), Huntard (beast, marksman)...
and my new Monk (Windwalker)
So far I am having a lot of fun with the instances and stuff though.
If anyone is on the Skywall server, drop me a line -- Shioka / Shihouka / Nephtis / Elhaym / Domesticated

On that rank list, lower numbers (which means more guilds that have completed the progression content faster.) And yes, all the top realms are lopsided. If you want a balanced realm, you're gonna have to dig a bit. But there really isn't any benefit to being on a balanced realm anyway - it's just fewer people to play with.
Those are US realms I was referencing btw, I don't know if you play on Oceanic or EU - you'd have to flip tabs on wowprogress and do some more research.

Transmog is essentially taking any armor/weapon in the game, and making whatever you have equipped look like it. Thus, you can wear Tier 2 armor if you want, but still be getting the stats from your level 90 items.

Alright thanks, this is a good place to start searching ^_^
Yeah I was thinking if I ever wanted to try out the occasional PvP, having a balanced server would speed up the waiting queue... Then I remembered that battlegrounds and instances are now across servers OTL

90 boost is probably the worst thing to happen in the proliferation of bots. Really fucking hope they catch those accounts quick cause it's so stupidly easy to spot.
Transmog is a great addition. But the bank and bag space takes a toll tho
Tell me about it. ;_;
At least once WoD hits, I can free up a TON of bag space with the Toybox and that extra Void Storage.
No joke, I think a good chunk of my bank space is nothing but toys.
(Plus, most mats stacking to 200 in WoD should help greatly as well.)

This is the biggest boon to bankspace since they removed hunter ammunition and soul shards from the game.
So, blizzard gave away quite alot of beta keys at gamescom today. Two employees went through the crowd and gave out keys to people at random. Or they chose someone and he/she had to answer a question from the host, right answer would get another prize and a beta key.
First, the guy right next to me gets a key...then the guy right in front of me gets a key.
After the event you could queue up for autographs from blizzard developers. I was standing in line, there was a couple in front of me. They both won previously (nd artbook and WOD 2015 Calendar), so they had keys. Suddenly a guy from blizzard walks up to them, does a little smalltalk and gives them another 2 keys...they said they already had one, so he said "Well, then I guess it's your lucky day. Now you have 2!"...that was harsh man. The girl even teased me with "maybe I should give it to you!", but she didn't mean it. Life is cruel, indeed. Hah.

Maybe this will be a leadup to the next expansion?

Unless they re-vamp another area like Cataclysm, I don't know where we could 'go' to stick 7 more zones/another continent besides Draenor again on the Ogre continent.
Even Draenor is kinda like a Cataclysm revamp of Outland, albeit much more intensely re-done.
But the Azeroth 2:Burning Legion won the third war could be interesting I guess, since you can blow large chunks of the land apart and only have 7 zones worth of space on a desolate Azeroth.
Then again, the way they talk about this is that it's a split off timeline, kinda like Alternate 1985 where Biff had the Sports Almanac, and there is no other Azeroth. If there was, why wouldn't Garrosh attack that one ripe for the taking instead of one that has already beaten him?

Welp, sub is done until WoD hits. Amassed about 20k gold in 3 weeks, maxed all professions and geared my main enough for leveling 90-100. I'm satisfied with that.
Sticking with my Shammy come good or bad. That dual Axe wielding nutbag has been good to me even though I skipped out in MoP raiding.

Gearing for levelling seems like a lot of misplaced work - all the weeks and months of effort raiding and grinding get erased in a week of levelling. At best, the gear will last until level 100 blues. I expect even the legendary cape will get outdone by a low end epic in the first raid.
I've asked in the guild and more people said Northrend
Any advice in how to go about it as far as the sub-zones?
also i'm alliance, dunno that i can walk into Orgrimmar ;p

and on top of that for 100 Gold you can unlock a new Crafting mats Bank space. has like 40 slots for herbs etc
I did Zygor once. I appreciated the efficiency and accuracy of it, but I also started to feel very removed from the experience. It took a lot of autonomy and joy out of my experience.
Yeah, I'm pretty curious about the cape.
Sure, they'll get outdone stat-wise by like a Lv100 Rare or Epic item, but the procs are still fairly powerful and unique.
(Looking at Wowhead though, the cloak procs seem to have modified a little bit as far as WoD is concerned.)
Yeah, the only thing I want are those heirloom weapons. Will be nice to have for 90-100.
I don't think there has been any rpg in existence that has dealt with the concept of new content new loot without replacing your gear. I've seen some games that take away your previous gear to kinda make you weak and vulnerable again, but games with loot in general are made to be replaced. Do people just want new gear to beworthless in general?
God I hate legendaries for everyone, especially ones required for progression.

Been spending some gold lately on little stuff I want. Gonna grab a ‎Ethereal Soul-Trader pet since I always wanted one, then grind a little gold, up to about 200k then hold for the expansion. Might level my Monk, but theres not much left for me to do in game until the patch. Im not terribly interested in the heirlooms from Garrosh, I like the feel of running the new dungeons and updating my gear when an Expansion hits.
