can you suggest a server? is alliance still flat out retarded on the whole? we're hopefully looking for somewhere where we can scoop up some talented guys for lich king.

play on any of the mega pvp servers. mal ganis / mug thol / etc. basically all the hardcore go there for the pvp / raiding. your average pvp'r tends to be good in raids as well. normal servers are shit holes 95% of the time.

downside of course is competition for outdoor resources(mining/herbs/etc) but the economy is generally better.

Jame's guides are great. And with the release of 2.3, you can basically cut out the grinding sessions and any in-between killing he has you do, and come out ahead of the guide as far as levels go.

What level about should someone go to the hinterlands as horde? My warlock is almost 45 now, been a long time since I did my shaman and that was before they added that quest hub for horde in the hinterlands anyway.

Do some research. Most good players tend to flock to servers where they have a chance at getting into a good guild. All though it may not seem like it you have a better chance of starting your own raid guild on a server with a lot of raid guilds already established than you do on a server with very few, if any. The only problem is guild hopping can become a problem with your members jumping ship for guilds already progressed further once they get enough gear to be considered as a recruit. It sucks. So you can go to a server with very few raid guilds and hope you're lucky enough to find dedicated/smart people to raid with, or you can go with the sure thing and try to endure the guild hoppers. Either way you have a high probability of failing.

You could clean up Hinterlands with minimal issues. There are a few quests that might be rough like but overall it's pretty easy. Have you finished most of Feralas yet?

you should be in the clear. i usually do 45-47 on the non elite quests then 47-49 on the elite ones. remember to do searing gorge ? as its got a really easy quest furor made for insane xp.

We decided to go with Mal'Ganis horde. 10 BT guilds, couldn't pass that up. seems like the unofficial raiding server.

My name's Severe if you and your bro want to roll with us. Shoot me a tell.

GTFO, Mal'ganis has bad enough queues as is. I still don't understand how the fuck it came unlocked again.

i didnt want to make a new thread for it right off sooo...

what are recomended mods / ui's?

i play a paladin(main) and a rogue (just got back into playing)

id like something clean and with multiple chat windows. but the important part is clean and slick looking. but not look like its locked in its setup.

im running 1680x1050.

Grizzlebeard · 12-09-2007, 11:54 PM

I pretty much use the following:

X-Perl Unit Frames - For the general UI.
CTMod - Mainly for the customizable bars.
Fubar - Fubar and all the associated "FU" addons are really useful. There's a specific one for paladins as well.
Auctioneer - AH tool that makes life significantly easier for the lazy bastard.
KLH Threat Meter - Mainly a raid tool so not so important if you're levelling from scratch but you might end up using it in Instance groups.
Lexan - Allows you to have multiple windows open at once.

Sometimes you need to adjust the .toc file to display the latest patch number if it doesn't work correctly. For example, when Lexan is installed the first line of the .toc file probably reads:

## Interface: 20000

Just amend the Interface value to 20300 and the addon should work correctly in most cases.

Vorph · 12-10-2007, 12:07 AM

You shouldn't change the toc number, just check the load out of date addons box.

And people should really stop recommending KLH now, Omen is superior in every way. I'd try very hard to never use anything that isn't from www.wowace.com too.

For Paladin-specific stuff, PallyPower owns for keeping track of blessings on party/raid members and it also syncs up with other paladins in the group so you always know who is doing what. I use SmartBuff to remind me when Righteous Fury is about to fade or I have the wrong aura up. It can do blessings too, but nowhere near as well as PallyPower.
