from internet, youbeli.com or pcgames.com.my(i forgot if there is a 's' r not)
there area also some lowyat forum wow player also sell the game too, they should reply to this threat if they seen it(i forgot the name, sorry)
and buy 1 battlechest, it got the original wow(we call it vanilla) and one expension named The Burning Crusade.
then 2nd expension (wrath of the Lich King)
next and current expension (the Cataclysm)
for cheaper game card, you can buy it in the garadge(i fail spell)

there are both horde and alliance in lowyat net,
and on both pve(player vs enviroment, play against computer) and pvp(player vs player you are most likely kill by other faction if seen on sight... and camped) server.(which server type do you want to play anyway?)
i only remember in
thaurissan(pvp) horde; alliance there is on hard mode due to horde out number alliance 10:1, play alliance IF you really want a real man's challenge.
Barthilas(pvp) an old server, slightly better than thaurissan server, 3:1
Barthilas's Escorts Guild are form by Lowyat forum player.

i don't know much about pve server,
i guess they will replay and ask you to join their guild.
you can also check their guild recruitment in this forum as well.

its better you decide which faction and what race or class YOU want to play; then choose server and server.
its ok if you want to gather info now and decide later what you want as to play smile.gif

good luck adn have fun, don't play too much. smile.gif

hello,
very thank for ur info btw.
i found 1 person that selling those cd key and now waiting him to reply me.
about races and class, its doent matter what races rite? just the class divide ur style playing? am i correct? or certain races is good for certain class??
example like if i play human, i have to make warrior to or i can choose any class i want and it will be same strong??
i dont mind playing PVE or PVP, i just need frens to guide me what to do and where to go in this WOW world.
i mean guide and not help* (gold, powerlevel etc etc) so if any1 can guide me, muchly appreciated. rclxms.gif

about races(male or female) and class combo, there isn't really any noticeable in stat/number between the race at the high end or at level60
pretty much the same.
(ok, i admit, if you roll female toons people tend to treat you sightly better than male)

for hardcore player, the main diffrence is the racial ablilty, they want to squeese every advantage they can get. some racial does make a diffrence in some situation.
say currently for pvp racial: forsaken's will the the forsaken; human's everyone for himself. both can re-gain control on certain spells
and etc...

for pve racial: blood fury(add slightly more damage for a small amount of time);
Night elf's quickness(for 2% more dogue rate, slightly better for druid's bear tanking compair to tauren's Endurance Base Health +5% druid's bear tanking.)
etc... its all debateable. in players point of view.

while other player just pick some certain race just for the looks(brute or beauty), or the story behind the race that inspire you.

mostly is just:
its pain that you play a toon, and in the middle, you felt "man, X+Y combo is better" then you felt you waste your time, and decide to re-roll again. that pain.

there are 3 very useful website you can browse that can serve you as a guild(if you can find anyone to help)

1st, the MMO-champion, this one keep update the latest news, patch note happen over the world about wow. got their own forum to discuss stuff.

2nd, Wowhead, all about quest/spells, very informative and very upto date. got their own talent calculator got their own forum to discuss stuff.

3rd. wowpedia, most infomation from the old wowwiki(wowwiki now are outdated), due to some drama, the people move to this new wowpedia. read this mostly for the lore/story behind certain things.

and of couse, the official forum, where people post some useful stuff get sticky there(but mostly people post qq, troll, lols, etc junks)

this is very useful info for newbie like. thanks alot. i'll check all the webs now. rclxm9.gif

WoW taiwan is boring , trade channel no lulz , etc

WoW US , you have lots of fun especially the trade channel in major cities..OMG , most of the time I'll laugh ..people ask questions like where to buy items with valor points and you've replies like go to stormwind (I'm a horde)

Well , i am not sure about you but I dont recommend buying at one go unless you plan to get WoW TW , with WoW Taiwan , you just buy the top up card and voila u get the entire expansion kit. Yes its way cheaper

If you wanna save money , play WoW classic - you can lvl till lvl 60 and you can umm enjoy some ol' content with 30 days subscription included. However the new cool stuff are in cata , so you may want to go slowly to that path

Wow and thanks, ya maybe i dont need to buy a full set, better start slowly and try 1st..

ppl spoke about LATENCY, if i buy lowerping or battleping, izzit any improvement? or still same?
whats the best product for this LATENCY issue??

Better yet go and play in Role playing server , whereby people take their names and roles seriously...I mean WTH , , cultist crap drop from silitus goes for 1k in AH , thats just pure insane

PvE is okay but RP is pure insane

basically,

wow US:
- english literate people
- 400ms - 600ms ping
- expensive entry fee (cd keys alone cost RM350 ++)
- enjoy true wow experience, ang moh style?

wow Taiwan:
- mandarin literate people
- 100ms - 250ms ping
- cheap entry fee (no need buy cd keys)
- enjoy the wow game, maybe a bit different wow experience
*

Deimos summed it up

If you are into storyline , dont' care about communication and dont  care about Chuck Norris jokes , then WoW Taiwan with English client is great.Quests , etc all are in English

lowerping is good , my friend from Thaurissan . SRS raiding guild , latency must be less then 250ms , uses lowerping - it really helps to lower down latency. Since money is not a question , WoW US is the way to go , for your case.

ok just to make sure it makes a diffrent. u realy helpful. thanks alot.
i already make a char at gundrak, and tonight will start upgrading my WOW.

Same reason, but completely opposite decision smile.gif

I assume you can read chinese (if no also nvm)

Well TS said he cant read chinese, same like me.

I've been in a foreign guild even I'm playing in US servers. First was chinese guild... everyone uses those chinese char thingy to chat. Guild chat is pretty boring. I only whisper between friends in the guild. I do get responses if I asked something or chatting something there, its just that most of the time everything they chat or talked is in chinese. sien... I've made my own friends out of guild but between whispers only... I lost to joy a guild chatting abit :< Then now in vietnamese guild. I didn't purposely apply for these guilds, its just that my best friends are in it, they do speak english but they don't own the whole few hundred ppl in the guild. So same situation, mostly chatting in vietnamese, i cannot tumpang their topic at all :< they can speak english btw, Whatever i asked n talked are nicely replied. Its just that they too started all their talks in viet.

This is just guild...

Imagine in taiwan server, the trade channel.. general and lfg... QQ
And how are you gonna make new friends?? I make lots of random friends, to the extend to knowing horde n adding them to bnet recently rofl... all these ppl are keeping me occupied, so does lots more from guild... but i really felt left out when they chatted alot in viet >.<

oh btw, latency is ok lah.. 200-300ms with tunnels is more than i can ever wish for.. even thought i secretly wanna b greedy and wished for 2digit ms xD

if you play in oceanic server.. more than half of the people there are playing same ping with you, no worries, you are not being left behind.

50ms or 100ms is like heaven, i would grin all day just by looking at it but i kept having this imagination, if i were to go taiwan, its like im a lone warrior, i'll probably enjoy pvp only with that ms... I pug alot :> i pug everyday. I like random chats. WOW is fun when socialize smile.gif if language is a barrier, will it still be fun there?

im 100% with u. i cant play something that i cant read or speak.
may i know u play what server? im new and looking for malaysian frens to explore things.
