Any particular race?

Depends if you want to be horde or alliance. A good alliance mage race are gnomes. (I hate them) Or for horde would probably be undead. (Favorite race by far)
EDIT:what server do most people on the forums play on?

There's not really a server most of us play on. We all play on different realms. You should choose a high populated one depending on if you want a PvP or PvE server. PvP meaning opposing factions can attack you when in contested areas.

You sir, are awesome. :) I have a 61 rogue twink I'm going to get to 70 and get full brutal gear on. 70 twinking on my server is huge, there are literally thousands of people with 70 twinks who duel outside Org. It's very fun to watch.

I was just browsing around the WoW site, and saw the pvp brackets got changed? Apparently it was back in December which was after my account ran out of time, just wondering what's everyone's opinion on this?

(Sorry if I missed the discussion about this)

I'm bored and more important frustrated with the game now. They insist on balancing everything around arena which I have zero interest in, and in the process are nerfing classes left and right, especially my warlock who is my one and only high level character.

It's bad enough that I haven't logged in since the valentine's day event, and if I log in in the future it's to get whatever I get for my 1 year anniversary.

I'll be moving on to Rift once they get their account security issues cleared up and I get this computer upgraded. I have to leave WoW and it's arena mentality behind. I played the Rift beta and there was nothing about it I didn't like, and the graphics simply blow WoW's cartoonishness away.

It's not just pvp that was affected but random dungeons as well. The change makes finding rbg's super easy but dungeon queue times went way up. I used to wait ~10 minutes as a dps. Now I have to wait around 40.

I have around 3700 honor on my rogue. I could get a whole set of lvl 60 & 70 pvp gear probably but I'm thinking of saving and getting two war mounts instead. What do you all think?

Get at least one war mount, you get an achievement!

So today I started my grand UI update adventure:

Nice UI. The only thing I would personally change is the text font for combat. :X

It's http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info15381-DuffedUIv3.html which is based off Tukui. I don't like the combat text font either but don't know how to change it. All the addons used are integrated into the UI configuration menu with no way to access a specific addon by itself. It's good that everything works together but a little bad because of the lack of some options. At least I was able to change the unit frame text; the old unit frame text looked really bad on my small screen.

Changing combat text font is kind of tricky, but there is a standalone mod that lets you change it to whatever you want, it's like a drag and drop thing after you download a certain font off the internet, or one you already have, just drop the font file into the addon folder and it works. Changes only damage font, or healing. Basically the combat fonts.
But, it's standalone, and I don't know if it'll work with a UI package that has already changed it.

Yeah I find it that in low lvl bgs, Alli tend to win a lot. Fortunately, they get destroyed in 85 bgs.

85 PvP is pointless imo...so doesn't really bother me.

I don't know...mostly because some classes/specs are complete garbage in PvP and anyone can kill them then we go to the other extreme where other classes can push you through all your CD's and still beat you. Comes down to who has the most CD's/stuns etc.

Maybe in low level arena brackets or regular BG's, but not rated BG's and high bracket Arena. Skill>Class when it comes to PvP. Fury Warriors are completely OP right now, yet a skilled player can easily counter them useless if you understand the mechanics of what makes them OP. :shrug:

I love it when people talk [censored]. Playing twin peaks and this pally doesn't cap the flag when he has at least 30 seconds to do it. And I get a bit mad at him. Then he tells me "You cap it then clothie". With 3 min remaining I cap and we win 1-0.

People always talk [censored]. I was doing BG's today on my Warrior, and while doing a WSG, I was in mid distracting the alliance from our FC, people like to swarm to the mid, since I can take a lot of damage and deal a lot of damage, me and my healer buddy just farm HK's in mid while keep them off the FC.
Well, this horrible, horrible hunter and this rogue tried the ENTIRE BG to kill me, and I didn't die once. At one point, their ENTIRE team was in the mid, with just me and my pally healer friend, and we were straight ganking people like nobodies business, it was so sad. I literally 3 shot this hunter about 8 times, and he just kept coming back for more. Absolute hilarity. I ended the fight with 27 killing blows, 4.3 million damage done (#1) and 0 deaths. So funny. We won the battle too.
I was also 4th on healing, Warrior self healing is a little OP at higher mastery levels. I have 15.30 mastery in my pvp gear, my ER heals me for 70% of my HP lol.

Cartoonish is the kind of art that Blizzard uses on Warcraft since Warcraft 3, I simply dont see you point here

I agree on the other things thought, with the exception of RIFT, that svcked, well, at least the BETA


Except that RIFT beta was better than WoW in every way. No flying (the best one of all), no fast travel to most places via flight paths or portals, having to actually travel to a dungeon instead of just standing around town, more interesting classes, a more interesting storyline with two factions have have actual reason to be at war, no arena, reasons to explore off the beaten path, puzzles to find, no pop culture references or humor (there's the occasional exception but it's not plauged with them like WoW) etc. The graphics are just the icing on the cake.

Cata ruined my enthusiasm for WoW which was already waning before it's release. Stop focusing on arena, stop nerfing everyone but mages trying to balance pvp, and stop catering to the hardcoe players at the expense of the larger more casual crowd.

Like someone said on the forums during beta: "I think Regulos is cooler than Deathwing. He unleashed the shade, all Deathwing did is cause me to stop playing."

I'm gonna log in to WoW today though and see if I got anything for my 1st anniversary.
