I've been playing WoW on and off for about three and a half years... I'm currently "off", and have been for a month. But I'll probably go back when things get interesting again.
I'd just like to point out that I'd like to shove my raid leader in front of an oncoming train.
But that's more or less irrelevant. I've been a long time player of WoW. I've got a ridiculous amount of characters more or less at max level. I raid at ridiculous Australian hours despite being an American and I've met several of my best friends through the game.
With all of that said, this game has eaten my soul and I am constantly in a love/hate battle with it.
Don't bother with a train, just shove your raid leader onto the back of a gigantic, angry, molten, world destroying dragon. And take away their mouse. :| Or, barring that, find a song they hate and play it constantly in vent.
I have eleven 85s (eek), and it was getting to the point where I wasn't getting anything done other than playing WoW... so I had to take another break. :
It's weird to see someone with the same server combo I have! I'm also Alliance on Cenarion Circle and Horde on WrA. I also have a couple Allies kicking around on Norgannon, including my very first character who I'd transfer but her name is taken on CC. ;_;
I haven't played a lot lately, but I've been thinking about dusting off the ol' Shadow Priest when Nano is over, just to scratch the itch. I've done everything from RP guilds to Casual Raiding to Hardcore Raiding, but as much as I like killing baddies for awesome loot, I don't think I could raid like that again.
Just don't have time for it. I love raiding to pieces, though. Best times.
But I don't raid or anything. I mostly level, farm rep and achievement grind. D: I'm not good at raiding or PVP. But I play constantly (when I'm not in school, like now.)

Shu'halo! Is the best...even if we troll...well ok maybe we aren't :P Alyiette/Keamy are my mains I am leveling a Pally with my sister...I love the horde way to much and ah never have managed to level an alliance :D
I stopped playing WoW for a year... year and a half because I only had a 40 Gig hard drive. Now I have a 1 terrabyte external hard drive. Unfortunately, I can't afford getting the Payable account... so I'm doing the Freebie stuff. I love the Paladin Tauren... is Fun
Cinari of Cenarion Circle here! All hail Union, the greatest guild (in my honest opinion) ever!
I've been playing World of Warcraft for about three years, on and off. I've had many characters during my time (*cough*altaholic*cough), but I think I've finally made a decision and my wonderful 85 Disc/Holy Priest has become my main character. I am an ex-roleplayer who has decided to take up the mantle of a casual raider. Don't know how that's going to work with work, college, and Nano, but we'll play it by ear.
I just healed my first Z-heroic (ZA) last night and, after wiping seven times on a single boss that wasn't the last boss of the dungeon, I've realized I'm in major need of some UI overhauls. Better to learn it in a troll dungeon than Firelands, right?
At any rate... if you're looking for an escape, stop on by and send me a /wave. I'll be bashing my head against bosses over and over until they finally drop me some loots.
Videos of raid boss fights scare me... not only because the fights look so hard, but because the person taking the video makes it look so easy. They don't yell and scream at the monitor when the RNG decides that things go very badly at the very worst moment.
Yeeshy, yeah. My guild is doing Firelands, and... yeah. We've got the Shannox fight down pat, we're pretty practiced on Bael'roc and Beth'telic, and if you read the fight first the Rhylioth fight is doable first try... and we're wiping, wiping, wiping on Alysrazor. Repeatedly. It's brutal.
But honestly, it's the most fun I've had in a raid in a long time; much more than ICC was.
Hi Cinari! I've never leveled a priest but I do a lot of resto heals in the ZG/ZAs.
I can recommend Healium if you want a UI healy add-on--it lines up all your heals next to healthbars and then you just point and click with the mouse. Makes it pretty idiot-proof (which is why I use it!). I know a lot of people love Healbot too.
Feel free to look me up on Cenarion Circle sometime!
I actually just got rid of Healium! I've been using it for about a year and a half now, but since I was going to jump into raiding I thought I'd use something that incorporated raid frames easier. I had a bunch of mouseover macros set that I used in conjunction with Healium.
I switched to Healbot last week and couldn't stop trying to use my mouseover macros that don't exist anymore. I put Healbot in a really awkward place, however - hence all the terrible wipes. I've relocated it (with some other pretty UI clean ups) and I feel much more confident. I've even (gasp) gone back to using cooldowns like Desperate Prayer!
Oh and because I forgot to answer--resto druid all the way, I actually have two of them! Though I'm thinking about leveling a shammy to try it out there too. I love healing in WoW, so much fun and exciting.
I have... an 85 Resto Shaman, an 85 Holy Paladin, one 85 Holy Priest, two 85 Disc Priests, a 72 Resto Druid... and a level 20 of every other class because I hate DPSing and Tanking.
>_> I think I have a problem.
I've been thinking of taking up my Druid mantle again... it's just that Druid healing is so different from all other healing... and Cat really made that difference notable. I struggled to keep Lifebloom rolling and to use Swiftmend correctly... so I abandoned her to level my latest Priest. Now that Cinari is ready for raids though, I'm really thinking I might give it another shot.
I just look over at your profile... and I want to read your Nano, badly! I miss FFXI and how it used to be before The Change... please keep me in mind if you need a Beta reader or anything!
*counter-stalks* I'm sorry Healium didn't suit--I've only dabbled in raid healing, got a FL win on my alt (not my main yet which is frustrating!). I didn't mind Healium for raiding but I agree that the raid frames just don't work with it. I haven't tried Healbot yet but I know most people swear by it...
And sure I'd love a beta reader or anything, I was sad at how few people seemed interested in Final Fantasy in general in the Fanfiction thread over in the Other Genres forum! I guess it's on the way out, more's the pity :(
My main issue with Healium is that it broke about a month ago; it stopped telling me about dispel-able items. I wasn't about to get Decursive and run two addons when one should do it. I used mouseover macros anyway (with my Razer Naga - Yum!) so I could easily switch to the Blizzard raid frames when I got into a raid group.
Healbot is working pretty good though. I was able to adjust my frames so they are under my character's feet, and now my tunnel vision works in my favor since I can watch for bad stuff AND heal. GTFO helps for when I get really tired... but I've found that since I've switched to Healbot, I don't hear that obnoxious noise as much anymore.
Hi there! I've a Disc priest myself (was ms Holy for all of Wrath and up until 4.2) and if you ever need any pointers with UI/healing tips/anything, feel free to hit me up. I'm Rilke on Drenden. I'd also go ahead and suggest Grid, as it's my favorite raidframes addon for healing.
Hi Maggs/Rilke! Thanks for the suggestion! I was kind of disappointed in Grid... because you need to have Clique also. I am running WoW on a three year old laptop, so too many addons makes me a sad panda. I finally settled with Healbot... I don't like it as much as I liked my old mouseover macro set up (and I keep trying to use my mouseover macros when the buttons are set to things that aren't heals...) but it's still pretty nice. The buffs on the healing bars gets pretty annoying... but I haven't quite decided if I want to turn it off completely yet.
I'm also not 100% thrilled with the bars turning colors when someone has a dispel-able debuff; it makes tracking HP a little difficult. I think I just need to play around with the options more though.
Feathermoon here, been playing since a month or so after launch. I need a break from WoW though, and I think November is a good chance to take a longish one. Unless the new 5 mans are fun to tank, and then I'll get my death knight and go do that after I make my word count.
I'm a semi-casual player on Moon Guard and Wyrmrest Accord. Did pause my account for November to minimize distractions, though! (Although my current time card is good until mid-November, still. Phooey.)
I gave my guild strict orders that if they see me online, they have to yell at me to go back to my writing.
Ex wow player from Tarren Mill and Argent Dawn. Had some of the best times of my eary 20s on that game. (I'm 25 now) played for around four years and my boyfriend for around seven. And, lovely story, we met on wow not long after I started playing on Tarren Mill and are still very much together. :)
TBC was a wonderful expansion and my favourite! Illidan is so much love and such a brilliant character too. I'd love to write something about the wow universe because I completely adore the lore.
Kadiith of Shu'halo here! Also Taes of Blackwater Raiders. Have Horde and Alliance toons on Blackwater Raiders, but only have Alliance characters on Shu'halo so far (new to the server, recently transferred to play with some friends). Been looking to level on a new server, preferable RP, but can't quite decide where to go. >_
Wyrmrest Accord (with a side of Tichondrius for good measure)! My guild chat has been woefully silent of late, so please feel free to give Panache a shout on WrA (Hordeside, natch).
Currently on Grizzly Hills US (have some on Kori and any other user that is on Kori we know pain all too well yes?), have one maxed character that took about 3 months to do. Really should delete that shortcut from my desktop, but I need to get more raids and such done. Right now my current focus is Loremaster cause I have nothing better to do with a mostly dead guild T_T.
Grizzly Hills is cool.. if you're looking for a decent Guild that is highly active, go for the Bonewalkers. If they ask who sent you... tell em Manix says Hi.
I just hate the idea of switching guilds when I currently #4 with experience in the guild. That is so hard to give up XD. Might switch soon tho, at least on one of my alt toons.
Haven't been playing much since there are so many other things I'm trying to do at the same time. Eventually I want to find a new raiding guild since the last one fell apart. Not working out so far....
World of warcraft
For all your world of warcraft discussions!
Re: World of warcraft
Casual player on Alliance side Muradin, with alt's on The Venture Co and Sisters of Elune.
Re: World of warcraft
I'm Horde on The Venture Co. If you PVP there, we've probably killed each other. ;-)
Re: World of warcraft
I PVP in that same battlegroup as Venture Co. Alliance Side... so maybe we have also. ;)
Re: World of warcraft
Whoo VCo! I was Horde on VCo for years, rolling Alliance there now. ^_^

I've been playing WoW on and off for about three and a half years... I'm currently "off", and have been for a month. But I'll probably go back when things get interesting again.

Good thing souls are overrated, yes?
Re: World of warcraft
Don't bother with a train, just shove your raid leader onto the back of a gigantic, angry, molten, world destroying dragon. And take away their mouse. :|
Or, barring that, find a song they hate and play it constantly in vent.
I have eleven 85s (eek), and it was getting to the point where I wasn't getting anything done other than playing WoW... so I had to take another break. :
Re: World of warcraft
Hrrrm. I might just do that. Or just have to swap to my priest and make sure he gets "accidentally" life gripped into... things. -winks-
You did however make me feel slightly better about the amount of 85s I have. :P
Re: World of warcraft
I'm a casual player myself. Only play an hour or two a night.
Yeaaaaah, setting someone on fire in game is a lot better to do than the train.
I'm from Cenarion Circle.
Re: World of warcraft
D'oh. Forgot this part:
Play Alliance on Cenarion. While my warlock is 85 and my first one, I spend more time on my Frost Mage, Heosphoros or my druid, Sarrason.
Have two Horde lowbies on WrA.
Jekthal, troll rogue and a goblin warrior that I just started and forgot her name. >
Re: World of warcraft
WrA ftw!
Re: World of warcraft
Oh weird, I'm also Cenarion Circle - A. Hello!
Re: World of warcraft
Hey there! We're slowly coming out of the woodwork. :)
Re: World of warcraft
Cenarion Circle represent! :D
Re: World of warcraft
Woot!
Re: World of warcraft
It's weird to see someone with the same server combo I have! I'm also Alliance on Cenarion Circle and Horde on WrA. I also have a couple Allies kicking around on Norgannon, including my very first character who I'd transfer but her name is taken on CC. ;_;
Re: World of warcraft
I'm a on and off player. Mainly a rper. On Argent Dawn EU
Re: World of warcraft
=O Who are you?! Haha.
Also an RPer on AD EU! Used to be Alliance (Celeira <_<) now a goblin (Fizzlaia >_>)
Re: World of warcraft
Been playing since 2005. Currently on Steamwheedle Cartel US, Alliance side. My guild might be missing me for most of November. ;)
Re: World of warcraft
Chilling on Dreadmaul most of the time. Not sure if I should buy more game time for November or not considering I have exams and NaNo on.
Re: World of warcraft
Moon Guard, represent.

Re: World of warcraft
Not playing much these days, as most of my guild (myself included) are planning to bail once SWTOR comes out.
Still raid tho! On Sentinels. Imma tank.
