Heard I missed a pretty good show. Apparently teh Dev's released a bunch of uber-bad guys and raided the servers one location at a time.

In any event - Ill be buying the retail and signing up.

Who else?

I'm extremely tempted. But the last time I picked up an MMORPG, i got addicted bad.

My son will for sure, I may. BTW, I was just in the beta 10 mins ago.

Did you witness any of the Dev raids?

I deleted the beta this afternoon and wasnt able to see it - Im hoping some screenies show up on the boards.

WTF is DEV? and what game are you guys talking about?

Guns
They are talking about Worlds of Warcraft, a Massivly multiplayer online RPG

Dev is developer.

Very good game... Did they fix the lag issues in the beta on test 8?

I am in Halifax and have not played since saturday.

I will be buying and playing.

Ahhh surprisingly I've never gotten into warcraft.

Oh I do not like the RTS game at all, but the WoW rocks, it is lots of fun.

Nothing like the RTS except the setting.

I like anything by Sid Meyers, alfa centari and all the CIV games. I also got into the command and conqure series. Recently I tried my hand at settlers 4. I do like strategy games so It's suprising that I never got into warcraft.

The GM raids at the very end were crazy! Mj just happened to be in a city at the time (we only had one beta account, so i was watching over his shoulder) and we saw all these bones lying around and couldn't figure out what had killed all the people and then these infernals and doomguards came out of no where. Mj's poor orc didn't stand a chance. Apparently later on he and a bunch of others got together and managed to kill a couple of the doomguards. The GMs were even raiding the new character areas too, taking out a little beta aggression. Can't wait for next tuesday when the game offically opens, we have a great clan going. :-)

I have a few shots if you care to post an addy I can mail it to. Nothing special since my camera eye isn't exactly the best, but you'd have the general idea of the chaos--felhounds, doomguards, infernals, dreadlords and such. I'm not usually one to get into RPG type games (I've been known to make fun of EQ'ers), but I've always liked the Warcraft series. I still dust off the original now and then. Plus it's a PC game that my wife will actually play too.

"Very good game... Did they fix the lag issues....."

The lag was 90% resolved by the end of beta testing. Still a little now than then but nothing like a few days ago.

Loved the beta. Going to love the game.

I'm buying it and setting it up when it comes out on Tuesday, but I don't really plan on playing it for a week or so. I figure I won't have much time over Thanksgiving anyway and the hardcore WoW nutz are going to be saturating the first 10 levels worth of quests.

Same here, almost exactly. The only difference being that I dont have a ring on my finger.

Found some screenies... looks like I missed a good time. I really hope stuff like this happens every once in awhile during retail.

I also hope that we'll be able to have some good old fashioned fun raiding opposing faction towns and such in PvP servers.

Speaking of which... what servers are you guys all going to set up on?

Here are pics of the "burning legion," some better than others... the text buffers are funny, anyway.

wow... that thing was hitting for 700+?!? I'd be running with my tail tucked between my legs.

Blizzard hasn't renamed their servers yet. We plan on joining one of the PvP servers in the central time zone. If you're interested, I can post it when we've figured out which one that is.
