The WoW Roll Call Thread

Sorry to doubt you Flux but are you sure I can use the OB client instead of reinstalling?

I am never 100% sure until I try something myself. One of the reasons there might be conflicting stories, is that some people are probably trying to use the stress test client, which is the wrong one. If you remember, a specific open beta client had to be redownloaded by everyone and that is the one to use.

I just got in using the open beta client and can confirm for sure you won''t have to re-install. You just fire up WoW, hit manage account and create a new account, entering your CD Key and new account info (payment method, etc.) and then after your account is created you log into WoW. Easy as pie. The client is the same.

It even suggested Blackhand when I told it to suggest a central non-pvp server. So, hopefully Blackhand is a less populated server.

Making my character now!

Thanks, leaving to get my copy and Pirates! right now.

Cosmos is working too!

Thanks for confirming that! Will be nice to save 1/2-hour.

God, it''s going to be a long day today. Even longer once I pick up my CE at lunch and have to sit here in the office with it next to me all afternoon.

hoochie - gnome rogue - Ronsy - Blackhand - Alliance
- priest of some kind - TBA - Blackhand - Horde

V-O - Undead Mage - Guste - Blackhand - Main
V-O - Dwarf Pally - Muiris - Blackhand - Alt

Spynavius - DE Warrior on Blackhand

So, just curious. If we are having opposite factions on the same server, won''t we eventually PVP against each other? haha

Umm, it''s a PVE server Flux.

In that case friendly competition never hurt anyone...

Well, ok then!

I was just confused because I could have swore we were going to try 2 different Central servers (one for Alliance and one for Horde) but I guess not.

Ok, I usually come on this site because it is a source of both great information and great laughter. I was always tempted to sign up but never got aroun to doing it.

I just got in using the open beta client and can confirm for sure you won''t have to re-install.

But now I just had to sign up tu be able to ask a question about this. You say the Open Beta client still works. But do you still need to buy the game? If you don''t then I''m pissed at myself for deleting the installer yesterday.

To answer Momon:
You still need to buy the game to get the key to create your account on WoW''s website. None of the CB/OB/ST survived the wipe.

Here''s Spy and his little diablo. He just told it breathes fire, too. 8)

I''m quite excited! I won''t have my CE today but I''ll have it soon enough. I''m just waiting on Amazon to ship it out. Hopefully, by the time I get it the true newb rush will have died down and I can start my character.

Anyways, welcome to the site, Momon.

What is the dif between a Role Playing server and the regular ones (PVE)?

On a RP server you''re supposed to use words like ""forsooth"" in lieu of ""Oh crap"" and ""serving wench"" in lieu of ""Certis"".

Here is a sarcastic example of the differences between a regular server and an RP server...

RP Server - ""Hello and well met! I am Vorcha of the Night Elf lands. Be mindful of the forest spirits and beasts as darkness roams the lands""

Regular server - ""WHat''s up dudes! This Night Elf noob zone is SWEET! Check out that big ass spider!""

I hate ass spiders, big or little.

D''oh! I found that my local Best Buy has the WoW CE in stock so I did an online order with an instore pick-up and by the time I went to go cancel my Amazon order it moved into a shipping state and now I can''t cancel it! Crap!

Doh! installed but gotta wait till later to get the girlfriends credit card... store didn''t have any prepaid cards and it doesn''t have any alternative payment methods (paypal, direct bank payments).

Oh well got to go to work anyways.

edit:
Sell the extra CE eddition on ebay in a month.

Alright, I''ll admit it. It looks cool, too bad they''re useless and most likely stable fodder.

Does everyone and their mom have a CE pet?

Reap, you can just return it to amazon. I think they even pay postage.

Just ""return"" the Amazon copy to Best Buy.

There ya go. I am sure they will resell it before it even gets back on the shelf.

Don''t you know, Certis? Best Buy is cracking down on dishonest actions such as filling out and submitting your rebate and expecting to pay the price they actually advertise in their weekly circulars! But who knows, they''re probably too busy screwing people out of their reward zone returns to notice someone actually defrauding them.
