So, hello everyone, just been offered a job out in malaysia so plan to be moving out in nxt 1/2 months was wondering i know that my euro characters cannot be transferred / do i need to rebuy the american / malaysian version of the game or can i still use the old disc sets / Euro keys to be able to start new characters on american servers?

Also there any good suggestions for servers with guilds which raid at viable malaysian times or even better malaysian guilds which after lvling would be able to join for mists of pandaria??

I havnt been playing WoW recently but cleared ICC 25 HM in top 200 guild so use to be at a high skill level not looking for that that kind of level anymore just some casual fun to ease into moving into new area.

Have fun all and hope sometime soon will get to see you guys online.

welcome...

o hi thar!!!

actually you can continue playing with your EU account (if the connection doesn't sux... which you can continue to dream it will happen... stupid TMNut...). you can create wow trial account to test connection to EU servers, if the line is bad then have to use extra services to smoothen the connection and reduce lags.

you have to get new keys to play in US server and there are few active players still plays around, notably thaurissan and barthilas.

since Malaysia is almost situated in the middle of every WoW servers (TW, CN, KR, US), there's actually another option for you to play in taiwan server (expect less 'nihao, joo wan geld? we sell cheap cheap!!' spam in trade chat) where you need to pay just the monthly fee to play. local players are located in server 'Wrath Bringer' and they speak fluent english. they have a post here

both options require you to start from level 1 again, but leveling from 1 to 80 is relatively easy if you roll hybrid class that can tank/ heal.

lastly, welcome to malaysia!!! do try out some local cuisines, they are delicious!!!

p/s:
do pardon me, i like to start my day off by whining how bad TMNut is when comes to gaming...

Oh dear didnt realise you guys were so screwed by WoW servers and poor latency
Think i might have to invest in some tunneling / learn how to change IPs and read up some of those tips and probably go as far as taiwan servers!

Whats the cost per month for those taiwan servers in RM?

the connection is fine for US server this time around, and TW servers are actually lagging; last time it was the polar opposite. investing a tunneling service would be safer.

special thanks to certain people who put up the slogan 'one marehsia, people's $$ first, cronies' performance now' and ended up with lots of Berkins bags for his wife to provide us with such 'excellent' service...

unlike US/EU counterparts that supplements 60 days subs, TW servers would be running either on hourly points or 30 day subscription. i'm not sure how the payment is currently (cuz i just went there to spy visit for few days)

maybe you can check and ask about it in their post?

If English is your native language, I'd suggest either Thaurissan, Barthilas or even Jubei'thos... there are not only Asians playing but Aussies, NZ and some US folks who work nights.

Barthilas is a good place to start.raid n pvp are balance.try it out

current wow latency is 230ms to Thaurissan/Eitrigg US servers/Pacific servers.

Hmm think i will opt for the US servers if i can get latency around 230ms im assuming that is with tunneling? Im not in malaysia yet will probably still be a month or so hoping i have time to get to malaysia and hit 85 before MoP hits !

Welcome to Malaysia! and yeah get a tunneling service.
If youre lucky you can get 200ish ms without tunneling depend on where will you be live in later.

200ms is without tunneling. I'll get around 190ms

Anyway US servers are recommended due to obvious reasons

I've played both US and EU. EU is horrible for our ISPs. I suggest you go for US.

Remember, fixed line is better than wireless. Welcome to Malaysia.

Alternatively, you may start again in Taiwan.

Sure you cant transfer your EU toon to TW, but nowadays its freaking easy to relevel again.

Reason being:

1) WOW Tw, no need to buy CD Key
2) Since Zero entry cost, could give it a try beyong trial / free 20 levels
3) WOW Tw typically better latency than US or EU in Malaysia, averagely 100 ms and below. (My ms around 75 and this is without tunneling)
4) Flexible gaming subscription (monthly or gametime)

I do not agree with the laggy comment. If its spike, all WOW affected, because its the ISP problem.

The only drawback is the language and community.

What we can suggest is to use English wow client for wowtaiwan, so that quest and gaming can still be in English. A dedicated English guild can help with raiding and grouping, but it will be limited and it will be a lil bit difficult to join LFG, if non mandarin literate.

Our Guild Roster consist of players from Malaysian, Singaporean, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia, Canadian, Danish, French and British etc

For more info, please refer this thread for Coffeenottea guild.
