No Karen, no Horde toons for me!
I got Windows 7 installed on my laptop today, so I've been busy. Missed fishing and everything.
Andrea

That's great Andera! How do you like win 7? I still have XP.
I wish I had a laptop, maybe one of these years
You should try a Blood Els sometime, their a lot of fun to play
and got some pretty fun & easy quests to do.

Lindy don't you have a Horde?
Do you have any L4L?

I had to go to the Dr's today then did some Christmas
shopping so I never got a chance to play today either *rats*
but I'lll be playing tomorrow for sure!
Hope to see you guys!


Doc

Alright, so I finally reached lvl 20 - but where do I get a Mount in the Elwyn area, and how much do they cost?
I tried buying a horse at the lumber place, but were told, that I needed "something" regarding Stormwind??

DocBoomBoom, I have several Hordies and so does Soot, but they are over on Burning Blade as that is where sons like to play. Silly sons

Missilo, try This Page.

You have to go back to your starting area to get your mount. They are much cheaper now than they were when I got mine--you will need to pay a Riding Trainer (who should be right next to the mount seller) to get trained, and then buy the mount from the seller.

Karen
I have several Horde's on another sever. One is a level 80 hunter. It has been nice to play ally, something different.

Haven't been able to play at all tonight. Blizzard's new patch has completely blocked me from playing. Can't even download the patch, nothing is working tonight. Sigh.

Wasn't that a second patch in like what 3-4 days?

Other than that, I found the guy who can teach me to ride, but I don't have enough gold
Guess I'll have to come back to him at a later stage, lol.

Andrea, hubby told me there was a patch--I need to download it this morning.

Misslilo, sorry you didn't have enough gold. I know I didn't either--it's great that they lowered the level to 20--it was 30 for me--but I didn't have enough gold even then. A friend of my son's sent it to me so I could ride.

I was able to download the patch early yesterday morning with no problems. I did have probelms getting on to play last night. It was the big 3.3 patch that has made alot of changes. The one change that I want is to have soul shards stack in your bag, but it didn't happen.

Will try to play today.

Well, I had to uninstall the game and install it fresh to get the updater to run. Don't know what was wrong, but I was finally able to play before I headed to bed. What a relief!
No help from Blizzard. Humpf!
Andrea

Yikes Andrea, I'm glad you got it figured out.

Bliz was a big help to hubby as he tried to figure out what was wrong with his a while back.

We both had some quirky glitches last night in our mail system. Maybe there will be a patch for the patch

Hi missalo I have the same prob, I don't have enough
money either bummer it cost 95 silver for the
horse and I'm not sure how much for the trainer yet?
But I'm saving every penny I get so I can RIDE RIDE!!


Does the patch load itself or do you have to load it yourself
somewhere??

L4L Tell son THANK YOU so much!! I can get all the
soul shards I need now with no problems!! The problem
was stupid me was using Drain life instead
of Drain soul spell!! How dumb can ya get Karen DUH!!
I feel like such a BOZO!!

Lindy & Andera why don't you
guys make a Blood elf & play with me, it's really fun!
really! Lindy that soul shard stacking idea is GGreat!!
they need to do that bad!!

Karen~

Well, I have almost gotten enough gold for the training and a mount.

Been doing a lot of low lvl quests - or so I thought they were - one turned out to be quite hard, especially when you do it alone, lol
Got myself killed maybe a dozen times, before I got through it ;P

My problem is, that I'm not a very good team player - I hate having others depend on me.
I much rather prefer to be able to call someone, and then when done, they can leave again, lol.

Karen, son said anytime--and hey, it happens to me all the time.

I'll forget about certain attacks or spells I have--my kids enjoy my attempts to play though, and are patient with me.

No feeling like a Bozo--everyone has to learn!

See your PM.

Missilo, you can play just the way you described. Just PUG (pick up group) it, and when that quest is over, you can resume solo play.

That's one of the things I love about WoW--you can pretty much play the game they way you enjoy!

DrMojo if you need any further help with your Warlock just let me know, my Warlock is far and away the favorite character I have played so far!!

Whenever you are ready to distribute those talent points just let me know and I can meet you and go over what the benefits are of spreading them out in a few different ways !!!

Happy Hunting!

You guys need to create the Gameboomers Guild. Wouldn't that be a hoot?!

That would be a hoot. You need 10 folks though to start a guild (Unless you want to pay for signatures) and the bank tabs are pricey :santa:

A Gameboomers guild would be awesome . . . you could just call it BAAG THat's funny that you suggested that Deb I was pondering the same earlie this evening LOL ... With as many Boomers that play WoW you would be able to do instances and raids with no problems !!! Plus I think it would be no problem finding someone in a specific profession to help out with crafting .. .. .. unless everyone on GB is doing herbalism and alchemy

I've wanted a GB Guild for a long time! But we do need more members. Maybe more GBers will get interested in playing. We'd all have to be on the same realm (server) I think.
Andrea :wave12:

What a AWESOME idea!! **GB Guild** :bravo12:
Asha you'd be the ring leader or whatever he's called,
Lets see uuummmm...... so far we have Asha, Soot, L4L,
Lindy, Andera, Karen, Missalo, we only need 3 more!!!!
Does Deb play??

Thank you so much Asha' are the talent pts anything
like the game Quest for Glory? did you ever play that?
GGGreat game, you'd like it, it's a lot like WoW!
there's Fighter, Paladin, Thief, Magic it's my all
time Fav! where would I meet ya to discuss this? if it
would be easier you can play my toon again & assign my pts
for me?? would that work?? your little man, Perbear is
sooooooo cute!! I love his name you must be very proud
of him :grin12: Thanks again for all your help~Karen

I think this is a awesome idea. I'm ready to join.

Linda :santa: :happydance12:

It's a great idea, but unfortunately we need to be on the same continent too.
I'm on the european server

Luv2Travel : Yup Yup we would all have to choose one server ( realm ) to roll characters on so that everyone could be in the guild together, but I love starting new characters so that's not a problem

DrMojo : The Talent points basically customize your character beyond the normal talents and abilities you pick up along the way. With Warlocks specifically they give you the chance to either increase the damage your DOTs (Damage Over Time spells) do to enemies, increase the effectiveness of your summoned pet, or increase the damage of your Destruction based spells . . . I actually spent a really ridiculous amount of gold in game constantly trying new specs so I have a pretty good feel for all three Warlock skill trees LOL. As far as when and where that is completely up to you, I can just meet you where you are with your Warlock and go over the different trees until you find one you like! Just pick a date/time and we will see what we can do! Thanks, I think Per is absolutely adorable as well, although I am a bit biased

Lindy : Alright! One more in our clutches!

Misslilo : I will have to ask some friends about servers . . . I know when I used to play more often I had 2 clan members that were overseas ... one in Australia and one in Switzerland and they were on the same server I played on . . . they may have changed some things in the last patch though ... honestly not sure =)

Okay time for more coffee =)

:::Edit::: Back with coffee .. .. ..

@Misslilo : Okay I have my coffee ... I'm looking at the Realm selection screen, and at the bottom I see three different tabs, United States/ Oceanic / Latin America, and then from there you choose a realm . . . does it not give you the choice to choose a United States realm ?? My friends overseas said they just chose to play on the US realms ... let me know if that works!!!

Super Asha'man! I've been really interested in starting a Warlock and maybe a Horde one! Muahahah! (evil laughter} Sounds really fantastic! I have 3 toons right now on Draka. A Night Elf Hunter lvl 50, Lalais; a Human Mage lvl 25, Ardyth; and a Dwarf Rogue (!) lvl 22, Bronoreen.
Just let me know what we're going to do. I will definitely need your help with the 'lock! I paid for a fast leveling program from a site called iDemise before I upgraded to Win7, and can't figure out how to add it back into the game as the program files have changed and I can't find the Add-ons folder anymore. It was working fine until the upgrade and the WoW 3.3 update, but I had to delete WoW and reinstall to be able to play again. :duh12:
Andrea :santa:
:holidays:

@Asha´man:
No, we only have tabs for English/French/German/Spanish/Russian

Probably because I signed up on UK battlenet
