hi.. just installed and played WoW. I just want to know on what realm do you people usually create your character on? I created mine on Thaurissan and Frostmourne.. but why is it that it seems like that there is nobody around?? Where is everybody? hope i can find a server with many malaysian..

Jubei'thos

But i hope u won't mind waiting for 800 queues

?? you mean you have to wait for 800 queues before you enter the realm?? what about the latency? is it high?

sabilfikri, there is nobody around probably because you are at the starting area for newcomers. Most players do not hang around that part of town.

Another reason could be that you log in at a time when most people are not online, ie, weedays past 2am server time.

When you reach major cities like Orgrimmar or Stormwind/Ironforge

Pick Oceanic Realms, and if you are not toward PvP, suggest Nagrand. Its the fresher realm in Oceanic Realms, no queue at present, I believe.

WoW is not like a free MMO where everyone is noisy and chatty. Ppl in WoW are more demanding when it comes to common courtesy and how you treat other players.

If you're asking for help a lot in the general channel, you might not be so welcomed. Some ppl will help but most people do not bother because they do not want to help i.e. bz with their own quests and they don't want to share quest with others.

It's not too hard in the starting areas up to level 20. After that, it's slightly more difficult but not so much.

Just remember that this isn't like RO or those Free MMOs where it's normal to shout for help all the time. If you do that in WoW, you get told off very harshly and you might carry the n00b label until you're up to lvl70.

I'd suggest u do a bit of time reading on www.wowwiki.com and www.wowhead.com .

You probably won't get someone to help u quest but if u need to know where to look for a mob, usually someone will say something. And it gets more interesting once you start off your first dungeon run.

if you want good ppl to help you can find myremi XD LOL

hmm.. im currently only at lvl 10.. i guess i better level up quick so that i can join up u guys in the other cities.. and thanks myremi for the website help

Yeah, just don't look for Addict.

On the contrary though, I find people in WoW are MUCH more willing to help than people in RO. Probably main reason is there is no PEOPLE in RO, just bots and I don't think they are smart enough to help :b

push me too hard and i will post your handphone number on a gay-ad website.

He changed his handphone no already. Come I give u his new one to publish at a gay-ad webby

Jubei'thos is a good server, there are long queues sometimes during peak hours, afterwork hours, during dinner. but i dint it better than Barthilas.

I'm PVP oriented, so i like these servers. Frostmourne is too laggy.

come to nagrand, horde side...ally side....lots of malaysian and singaporean


I'm level 70 horde hunter at nagrand..but my guidies are from nz or aussie

Gorgonash has hell lot of Malaysians there. Most of my uni friends go Gorgonash.
Too bad they are alliance.

I pulak damn kesian stay in Zuljin. (Well, i introduced my friends to wow but they all flocked to alliance for some reason =.=")

I have an RO turn RL friend in gorgonnash, but I can't remember his guild name. It's in another language...something something domitus or something. Alliance.

Also know another guild called Kraken, also Malaysian guild, in Gorgonash horde.

Lots and lots and lotssssssssss of Malaysian/Singaporean at Thaurissan Horde, that I know!

one other thing about guilds. if you're new and currently leveling up, look for a friend "leveling" guild.

because the raiding guilds at lvl70 will probably not help you to level. they might help their guildies (who already have existing lvl70 toons that are their main characters) but they won't usually help with new players who are learning to level and learning about the game. can lead to a lot of frustrations when in a raiding guild.

Hi sabilfikri

First of all, welcome to the insanity that is WOW.

The other guys have given you some good advice so I'll just add a couple of things you may not be aware of that will help you enjoy your stay in Azeroth (and Beyond).

There are a couple of excellent websites, but I think the best collection of everything you wanted to know about WOW is at http://www.wowwiki.com

I suggest you start here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Newbie_Guide

This will help you along much better than random advice from strangers in general chat.

couple of don'ts

1. ask level 70 to run wc for you
2. money begging
3. spam the LFG channel
4. invite level 70 without asking what purposes

did you do it?

i'm tired of it....low level asking those things....there's no peace for me in ogrimmar..level 2 asking gold, level 10 aking gold for repairs..level 10 asking wc run for him...and will swear to me if i say no.

And all of them were Blood Elf..maybe the kids from alliance crowded horde opulaton

1. say no first.
2. if still spamming, right-click nick: report spam.

QUOTED FOR TRUTH!

I only found 2 Malaysian and 1 Singaporean in Tanaris.... the others all American, Australian, and Canadian....... really hope some1 would join me in Tanaris realm

Hi, I'm from Zul'jin. Been stopped playing for some times and decided to play back now cause my sis wanna play too XD. For the Horde!
Crosemila - Undead - Warlock - 6x
Verosen - Undead - Priest - 2x
Zindayan - Troll - Hunter - 3x

Actually, its better to lvl on ur own with little help from high lvls if u're new to the class or the game. Nothing teaches better than learning from ur own mistakes.

The best you can do to help them is point them out at the right direction ie. teach them to research quests, items, dungeons and such @ www.thottbot.com www.wowhead.com wow.allakhazam.com wowwiki.com bla bla bla etc etc and the only times that you should help them is if they are unable to get a party for certain grp quests ie. dungeon quests.

but but but.... sometimes its fun to spam!

/2 hey pips! myremi is leaving the game and will give 100g to the first 15 ppl to pst her.

fun times

the other aspect of joining a leveling guild is that it's less lonely while leveling. even if they aren't free to help you to level, at least there's someone to keep you company while leveling. it can be very lonely when you first join a realm.

doh! cheeky flush. free gold. i report you better still.

for starters i think better u go for fresh new server whr other ppl also will be around ur level so easier to get group for lower instancec(lol, if u want to)
pick oceanic server, dont choose frostmourne,barthilas n thaurrisan(sp?)
those server kinda old especially frostmourne, thaurrisan dunno? new?

nagrand is fresh

20 knothide leathers sells at 5g average

Try going for an oceanic server...

I find ppl there much more helpful than American ppl...

but supposedly oceanic servers have less skilled players than US servers. then again, it's an observation that is spoken by a lot of my guildmates when they transferred over.

sheesh.. i just hate being low lvl.. i've been soloing all along from 1 until 22 now..i found lots of people hanging around stormwind.. but havent found any malaysian though..

off topic: another question.. how do i join a guild? and where to find one? also what is the purpose of guilds??? ive been playing a lot of those free-to-play MMOs but never joined any guild though...can anybody explain.. sorry for such noob question.

when you hit lvl70, all the end game dungeons is 10 and 25 man, without a guild, you wont be able to run them

everytime u see a player questing near you, ask to join him...then if he is friendly and u get along, keep him in friends list....then ask if his guild is accepting applicants

you need to build up a minimum of 4-5 regular quest buddies....a tank, healer and dpsers....so you can run 5 man dungeons togther

Can be difficult but once you broadcast yourself on the general chat, you might think otherwise. Or even telling a friend and the next thing you know, you get hordes of tells. >.< Also, the chat system is regional so it's not easy to look for fellow asians anyway. And yes, a lot of ppl hang out in SW or IF but mostly to go about their business.

Guilds are a group of people who form a team to get things down. It's kinda like a huge association like those Foochow or Hokkien Association. >.> Usually ppl who share a common interest.

Depends on the type of guild that you want to join. Since u're still leveling up, it's usually good to join a levelling guild where there's people who are like you still leveling up. It's easier to find someone to help you level but it's not obligatory for guildmates to help you level, especially those who are in the higher levels.

Once you hit 70, then it's time to decide whether you want to stay in the leveling guild or move on to a raiding guild. Some guilds are a combination of both but it's usually a casual guild who have problems with raid progression.

Ppl will do Guild Recruitments everywhere so up to you where you want to join. Realm Forums are usually for raiding guilds. For leveling guilds, usually recruitment is done via General chat in the major cities or in whichever region they are currently questing, be it in Azeroth or Outlands.

hehe.. i used the Brian Knopp's Alliance guide.. its a very good guide which helps you to perform quests in an orderly way and avoiding you from having to go back and forth just because another NPC gave a quest which happens to be at the same spot with the quest that you have just did.. yeah.. travelling can be REALLY BORING especially if you're alone! it also gave you the coordinates for the quests on the map..neat!!. downloaded it from torrent

ah, i've not had brian knopp's alliance guide.

and only reason i use www.wow-pro.com was becoz it did optimized the rep grind for pre-BC days.
