Well, I got it anyways. As you can guess by this message, I have been playing quite a bit of it lately, with breaks in between, though.

Overall, it plays pretty decently. Been working up my skills pretty well, ESPECIALLY Skinning on my Orc Hunter. Up to journeyman already.

Other highlights:
1) Some guy payed me 25 silver last night just to sign a guild charter (or whatever it was), and I don't have to commit if I don't want to!

2) Another guy (before that) was trying to help me level. He was 40th-lvl, so it didn't really matter to him. Anyways, he trades me this harness he found (much better than that hand-stitched leather vest I was wearing).

People can be pretty nice, even on the internet.

Gratz, btw. If you ever come on Dragonmaw server, perhaps I can help you out with something, I play an undead priest there.

I've got a shaman on stormreaver, haven't played him for ages though. if you want, you can add me to your friends list (name is Yeltsu) That way you will get a small message when I log on (can't guarantee that I will though, shaman playing style didn't suit me.. ) Anyway, welcome to the World of Warcraft, and I hope you will enjoy your stay

Will do.

Honestly, though, I seem to get my jollies as - you might guess - a Dwarf, so most of the time now I'm playing the Alliance side in a different realm. Still, I often switch realms when I'm in a rut in one or the other, so I'm not sure how difficult that makes things.

Edit: Tried to add you guys, and it said 'Player not found' in both cases. I don't get it. Is it possibly because I'm an American player and you guys are in Europe? Don't know.

don't get TOO dismayed.

Looking at your time table, you will NEVER have time for Molten Core, Onxiya or Black Wing Lair raid groups... Which sometimes take upwards of 6 hours if things go a little awry.

However, that said, a good raid group can run Upper or Lower Black Rock Spire in 2 hours, Black Rock Depths in about the same. Stratholm, Sholomance, these can be done in 5 men groups over about 2.5 hours, or in 10 man groups in under 1.5 hours.

The only proviso on these times is... You need to be co-ordinated, celver, good at what your character is designed to do and not arguing over loot. Your best bet is to go to your realm forum, tell people where you want to go and when, ask them to join your group and help you out so that when you log on you have a group ready to go instantly.

And these times are only if you can form your groups/raid in a sensible timeframe as well... unfortunally, it can take hours to form groups and getting everybody to be there at time.
