I've probably played a good 5 months of Burning Crusade and 4 of Wrath. Definitely don't like what the game has become. But I too, was hoping Cataclysm would change things. I was thinking of transferring off my hunter off an RP server at some point, but I guess I'll wait it out.

Mal'Ganis is 17:1? Surely that is in favor of Horde.

Um they do. They give out free transfers off of certain server. What do you want them to do?Lyphen said:

Maybe they should delete some accounts while they are at it, no?DeathNote said:
Forcing people to play on X server with X person is never, ever going to work. Never. Ever. Well, at least until the game is unpopular and they can't afford to run that many servers profitably.
Blizzard doesn't give two shits about competitive PvP balance, and they are totally right in doing so. Fuck that shit. It would an incredible business blunder to force anyone to play on a server they don't want to.
Did anyone know that the Talondeep Path (tunnel between Ashenvale and Stonetalon) was a physical on-land road in beta? I heard it from a friend and quickly went to wallwalk my way on top of the mountain range over the tunnel, large parts of the road there are actually left. Interests the shit out of me, I'll go see where the road would have ended in both zones.
I'd like to see more faction-specific voluntary transfers and opposed to the mass dumping they used to do. And server-merges. My current main is on Steamwheedle, which is pretty balanced, but I know of a lot of servers that are underpopulated and imbalanced backwaters (mostly the ones introduced during Burning Crusade).Angry Grimace said:
People used to be a lot more vocal about server balances and population back in 05-06, but I guess we all got used to the fact that Blizzard has no intention on fixing it. Or adding new dances. :lol
That's what I mean. I accidentally didn't put in that Mal'Ganis was 17:1 in favour of Horde, but that's what the server is, fanboys constantly flocking Horde-side M'G to be with the big leagues. Comes out a bit offensive, but whatever.Fularu said:

My server (Ravenholdt) is about 70% horde lol. As alliance, winning wintergrasp becomes the stuff of legends

square pies = communism
On Alleria, Horde side is really small compared to Alliance. We almost never have Wintergrasp, but at least it forces everyone to be a lot more civil. You never see raid pugs forming and asking for obscene gearscores. It's just, "Ya wanna do raid XYZ?" Some people say, "Sure" and off we go, and they've been working out surprisingly well, with a refreshing lack of nerd rage and stupidity. I guess there are some positives to being on a small server, then. Factionally speaking anyway.
Nah, not really. I don't really understand why they'd switch a PvP server to a PvE one, really. Merging low-pop PvP servers would have been better than completely ruining the main reason why current players would decide to roll on a server.Entropia said:
Pretty bitch move on Blizzard's part. Especially since in came right out of nowhere.
Edit: Merging has a lot of problems too, like different datacenters, not angering the population, etc. But I think it's a better solution. Merging servers together and offering a free transfer after 2 weeks to those who feel like can't adjust would be good (but I bet it wouldn't be loved by everyone). I don't know. It's complicated, but Darrowmere isn't an example to follow.

Well, he was quite a trifling (hmm, maybe he says something else, been a while) gnome, his arrogance was certainly his undoing.
Well, gunning for two more upgrades yet. Need a good trinket (Deathbringer's Will would be nice) and I guess i've been screwed waiting on a pants upgrade, so I'll finally make the craftable 264's.
As far as massive imbalances, yeah, they should fix them, but I'm sure they have to consider pop caps on the servers.
ONE last edit:
Bladestorming wars can now be disarmed. What a huge explosion of tears this has caused. Especially for an ability that they claim is garbage as is, for some reason.
Anyone else had major problems with cast/abilities/looting delay since Tuesday? I've never had any serious problems (except for when everyone else on the server has). I'm on Kil'Jaeden and none of my friends/guildies are having any problems but every 5-10 seconds my screen will freeze, I can still press buttons for my abilities and spells (basically create a mini queue) but the screen will basically hang for 5-10 seconds and then everything will catch up in super speed with all my abilities and casts springing to life. Then a another 5-10 seconds later, it'll happen again. It's really annoying the heck out me, as it's screwing with my dps and awareness fights. I tried removing the WTF, Cache and Interface folders and still not any better. I'm download a fresh version of wow atm and hoping that fixes the problem. I've checked all the port forwards on my router for wow and those are still good and I don't think it's a computer issue on my end as my computer isn't a slouch (about a year and a half old with a brand new graphics card). It's just strange that this problem is totally out of left field...

Are you sure EJ is still on the server? I haven't seen anyone with that guild tag running around in forever.

Been in HoR 4 times today, not completed it once. Someone always leaves after the first boss, sometimes before if more than one person will be rolling on the tanking cape. I'm never gonna get the Crypt Fiend Slayer.

They really should have stuck with the ToC system for Hard Mode tier gear imo. What a pain in the ass.Entropia said:

Thanks for the information. I'm in Duskwood right now and I think I'm doing pretty well for myself in terms of leveling. I think I'll come close to hitting level 30 but if I don't I'll be sure to check out some other areas. It's pretty hard to get a group going on this sever (at least, at this level) so Ive only been able to do the quests which can be accomplished solo. Thankfully, I'm a hunter so I'm able to hold my own most of the time.
Speaking of hunters, can anyone recommend some good add-ons that'll make me a more efficient hunter? Perhaps some reading material or some video's I should watch as well? I like to think I'm doing pretty well but there's always room for improvement and I want to be prepared for more difficult quests and hopefully instances. Should I be using traps? I really haven't found them to be useful at all.

With all the stat changes, and basically recreating talents, everything from level power flow, to gear is going to be affected.
I think many things in Cata will be initially broken, because of all the changes. But I hope it will be for the good of the game. I could just imagine many people will be complaining because not everything will work as intended from the get-go.
Something I have learned from MMO's in the past, is never to be upset or care about the power of a class. FOTM is just a fluke in the long term, and the class being overpowered/underpowered will rotate as long as the game is going.
Of course I too am one of those players that gets facerolled by Paladins daily, and instantly, but honestly... It does not matter. Just play, and try to have fun.

what a stupid post, most of the contributer's to the EJ forums are not members of the guild, but the forum itself is a valuable tool to the game's community, the spreadsheets and other discussions there are only to players benefit
and i guess being a top 25-50 guild is bad
EJ has been around since launch. They were the best guild on Mal'Ganis for years and if I'm not mistaken, I believe they got the world first for General Drakkisath. Being the best guild on the most popular server in the game should afford them an egotistical name, even though their name had nothing to do with killing npcs.LAUGHTREY said:
And who even gives a shit about world firsts? Who cares if some Euro guild killed mobs a hour before they did? It's not like they wait for bosskillers.com to release strats for them. :lol

Jug rerolled PVE ->PVP after killing M'uru (Jug 2).
MG is hands down the best horde PVE server right before Illidan. End of story. You want to comepte and show off, as horde? You do it on one of those two.

Since we pug through EJB, we don't have to put up with people not knowing how to play. Does that answer your question? And no, no one cares about random daily. Not enough to cry about it anyway
Tamanon said:
Yes, but the part immediately afterwords implies that he'll live on somehow, probably as some kind of spirit or maybe reincarnated somehow.
That does suck though; since I'll probably be rolling Paladin Number Six (well, the sixth past 60, at least) as a moocow, I've been kind of noticing them in the game more and actually paying attention to their lore. So it sucks to see these peaceful cowfolk losing their leader because of some young upstart.
All of these changes within the Horde make me kinda not want to play them. Don't get me wrong, I don't sit around and bitch about the Lore, but... it still has some impact. That said, the Alliance also has a brat for a leader too, so I guess it balances things out.
LAUGHTREY said:
Ok, but what you are describing there is exactly what their name entails ... they are being Elitist Jerks. Just because you don't get world first kills doesn't mean you cannot be Elitist and expect everyone to perform to their best ability and be pissed when they don't.
Why are you surprised?
