Well, when I'm in a big city it gets very choppie. Its like I'm taking a picture of the screen, I don't move for about 2 seconds. When my computer catches up, I'm about 30 yards(estimate) ahead of where I was and facing the opposite direction. During this whole time, I have crazy HD accessing going on. If I'm out by myself soloing I have no problem.

I've been seeing the 9600 Pro(used) for about 60-70 shipped on ebay. Also, this is the only game I play on the PC. If I just have to add RAM that would even be cheaper.

I upgraded my RAM to 1 gig on both my laptop and desktop for this game, and it definitely helped. The only times I really lag now are instance load screens (damn you addons) or very large group battles (AV) and some larger instances. The only other lag issue I have is that Bloodscalp is full, and gets quite laggy when you can actually log on.

My priest is only up to 44 now, I recently joined a large guild so I've spent some more time playing my rogue. Hopefully this weekend I can hit 48, and start farming gear in Mara.

Your hard drive accessing like crazy is a sign that's there's a lot of swapping going on because you don't have enough RAM. I would upgrade to 1G ram first and see if you have a lot more problems after that.

Oh the joy of being stuck on the "Retrieving Character List" for +20 minutes every night. :hairpull:

And I also loved that they released a small patch to fix some of the bugs from the 1.9 content patch, only to release another mini-patch a couple days later to fix the stuttering movement caused by that patch.

Blizzard :bmonkey:

hey innocentfreak (Allesara) I am on cenarius to as Borg :) send me a msg sometimes



To all the new people who just started, if you are still playing by yourself I would welcome you into our guild on the cenarius server if you cared to roll a character there. :)

I went and brought another stick of ram, so I have 1G now. There has been great improvement from when I started. It is very playable right now and there are hardly any slow downs when I enter a big city. I think I'll keep looking at ebay for a 9600-9800 Pro for a reasonable price. Thanks for everyone's help. See you on WoW........

Good to hear!

Ok, that was so me screaming like that. I swear I miss half my hamstrings when pvping.. argh! Damn coneheads!

no, but really.... that was rather funny.

Ran UBRS last night with a pick up group of 15. lots of fun. it was pretty easy and the group worked out great. I got the Dragonrider Boot, which i wanted. Now i just need blue bracers and pants (and rings and a trinket) and i'll be green-free.

I got dragged back into WoW by my brother-in-law. He got the game, loves it, and I started a new Tauren Shaman on his server to play with him. Of course he's paying for the subscription, so it's all good :lol:

He's a Tauren Druid. I was curious, though. He said he couldn't find the first Druid shapeshift spell. What level do you have to be to get it and where is it? Also, what is it called?

Woot! Our guild got our first Ragnaros kill tonight. Not too shabby considering our first MC run as a guild was just over a month ago.

at level 10 you get bear form. You have to talk to a night elf spirit in moonglade. At 16 you get seal, at 20 you get cat, 30 you get travel form, and 40 you get dire bear.
there aren't many druid quests though. after you get the water form and cure poison, you can learn everything else from the trainer. We don't even have a cool level 50 quest for cool blue items, unlike every other class

I sympathize with starting a new char. I am going to try and powerlevel a NE druid on Burning Legion so that I can play with some RL friends for once. Are there any good websites that I can find people who want to trade level 60 chars? I have a Arthas human mage and an Eonar Tauren druid.

Where's Moonglade at?

Oh and has there been an explosion of new players? When I stopped in October, I was able to log on just fine, alot of the servers weren't full, etc.

Now nearly every time I log in, I get a 5-20 minutes wait, and most of the servers are full, so they've been making new ones.

Moonglade is north of Felwood which is north of Ashenvale but I think druids get to teleport there. The new players seemed to have joined after Christmas which makes sense.

So the Druid can teleport there, but no other classes? Is it safe for him to go there?

Yes there are no mobs to fight there, it is completely safe for him to go there. Only druids can teleport there, as to how to do it that I don't know, I assume it's from a quest or from the trainer.

As a Shaman, what talents should I focus on?

Also, what professions? I chose skinning and leatherworking. I almost thought of getting herbs and alchemy, though. I definitely didn't want to deal with mining and engineering/smithing.

Okay, so my brother finally convinced me to join the ranks of the WOW. Cool game! Just started last night and got my Troll Hunter up to level 6. May have to create a character on Cenarius some time to play with you guys. If anyone has some spare silver lying around.... :)

It also depends on whether you are on a pvp server.
If you are, the other faction can kill you.

I got an offer for my 2 lvl 60 on Archimonde (pvp server) for $150.
Any opinions on whether this a good deal?
Only have 1 epic item and an epic mount, but have over 1200G on that account.

Wonder what I could sell my lvl 60 human priest which has complete MC epic armor set, epic priest staff, epic mount and 400g? On Dragonmaw server.

Just before x-mass....I saw a few Druids going for 300.00+ on ebay...You should look there to see how much they are going for. I have my full teir1 set, and most of my teir2, also full Tank, PVP (Rank 11) and Cat gear. If I knew I could get 400-500.....I think I would sell, and start another

The Shaman talents you should focus on while getting to 60 should be enhancement and either elemental or restoration. Then you should respec at 60 to elemental and restoration. I would do herbalism and alchemy especially now for the war effort turn ins, you can turn in peacebloom or sell it for much more than you could otherwise. Herbs sell for alot of money on the AH. Leatherworking seems to be only profitable with the patterns that are hard to get whereas alchemy your potions will sell regardless of the level.

Ok, I'll make the switch tonight.
