Okay, I'm gonna give it another shot on Feathermoon then. Hopefully I'll be able to get on late tonight and during the day tomorrow.

Looks like you may get an additional 4 extra play days for making a character on Lightbringer, CaptainMarvel since that was one of the the servers brought down. Depending on when you created your account, you may be looking at up to a week's extra playtime. Not bad.

DaveCole

I only played for a month on Sargeras. I played my last game of WoW a few minutes ago and I already miss it. It was a choice between studying or playing and if I still had the account I know which choice I would be making as my, "I am only going to play for an hour" became two and then three hours.

correction - my cap is now 300 not 250.
at what lvl in leatherworking do you need to start specializing?

CaptainMarvel

My night elf rogue is up to 11 now on Feathermoon. That's with maybe 10 hours of play.

This is a really fun game. I'm still a little strapped for cash though... I'm used to being poor in RPGs at the beginning, but not this poor.

One question: I really would like to learn how to use one handed swords. I think I can learn that at 20; the problem is, I think the trainer is in Stormwind, which is a completely different continent. I've figured out how to get to the Hippogryphs and boats from the Night Elf cities, but that really only gets me to the right continent... do I just have to walk on foot the rest of the way?

Groucho

There should be a Weapons Trainer in all the major cities, including Darnassus.

Phuzbox

There is a weapons trainer at the Warrior's Terrace in Darnassus. She's on the side of the building that faces the bank in the center. I'm not positive is she trains in swords or not, it's been a while since I've been over there.

If you do need to get to Stormwind, you'll have to take the boat from Darkshore to Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands. From there you will follow the path east and south which will get you to Dun Morogh. Follow that till you hit Ironforge. From Ironforge, take the tram to Stormwind.

CaptainMarvel

I found her, but she only trains in Bows and Fist weapons. It lets you ask her about other weapons trainers, and she said I'd need to go to Stormwind to get trained in swords (and really in most other weapons I'm interested in).

I'm using daggers right now, but I did train in bows so I could pull enemies a little easier.

Darkfriend

Yep, the 1 hand sword trainer is in Stormwind. He's in the weapon shop near the main gate and looks like a monk (Can't remember his name). There is no level restriction; just pay 10 silver to learn the skill. Now to get there, take the boat in Darnassus to Menethil Harbor. Once there, you'll have to go by foot to Loch Modan. Once in Loch Modan, follow the directions to Ironforge and then take the tram to Stormwind, voila !!

My NE rogue did the trek at lvl 12 and the only "dangerous" part is from Menethil to Loch; some lvl 21 crocs but keep your eyes open and you should be fine

CaptainMarvel

Thank you so much. I may make that trip tonight. I don't know why I thought you couldn't learn it until 20 (?).

I got eaten alive by a crock, but that was back when I was 6 or 7. I've got some new tools that should make the trip a little easier.

Interesting interview with Blizzard at www.penny-arcade.com today regarding all the recent server problems. A highlight:Wow.

CaptainMarvel

Oooh, goody... another NE rogue.

Any advice you can give me? I've been pumping my talent points into Sinister Strike so far, but I don't know really how I'm going to take my character after this. PvP is not a concern for me, since I have nearly no interest in it.

Phuzbox

It really depends on what kind of rogue you want. Check out your talent trees and see which one you want to master. You will only be able to accumilate enough talent points to reach the bottom of one of the trees so see which one best suits your style of playing. I have a level 50 rogue and the majority of my talent point are in the Assassination tree. I am now working on the combat tree and have zero points in the sublety tree. My rogue is pure damage at this point, with a pretty high chance at landing critical strikes. On a few occasions, I've done 1400+ damage on 5-point eviscerates.

DaveNinja

The penny-arcade interview is interesting. A lot of people are into WoW.

Darkfriend

I deleted her hehe. Now I got an undead rogue instead.

timewaster

can i get some directions on how to get to some of the higher lvl zones?
How do I get to Felwood?
How do I get to Azshara?

Phuzbox

You get to both thru Ashenvale. If you follow the path all the way east, you'll hit Azshara. If you follow the path north midway thru Ashenvale, you'll hit Felwood.

Maxflier

The name of the weapons trainder dewd in Stormwind is Wu Ping or something like that.

DaveNinja

Sorry to be a dork, but i think its Woo Ping, two 'o's instead of the 'u'.

CaptainMarvel

I found him last night.

The trip wasn't nearly as bad this go round... I only caught aggro once, and Sprint let me get away pretty easily.

It was neat trekking through Ironforge. I think I'm going to stay on this continent for a while. I like it better than the Night Elves homeland.

DaveNinja

Loch Modan (sp?) is the next area after the land where Ironforge is. Its pretty cool as well for level 10-20. nice and green.

DaveNinja

Saw this over on the anandtech forums:

pretty funny

So is there still a DVDTalk group pllaying? I just bought the games and want to know what server and all I should create my character in.

Thanks!!!

Groucho

I imagine there's lots of DVDTalkers still playing, but we're scattered amongst different servers.

As always, I recommend that you choose a Low or Medium population server. If you don't want PvP, RP is preferable to PvE.

Maxflier

There are several of us that still play on Cenarius.
