After taking some time off, the people behind Bagman, Beowoof and Bloodstar (formerly of Blackhand Alliance) are looking to come back to the fold (in other words, me and two of my brothers are starting new characters). We will likely be playing only a night or two per week (what with kids, jobs and other responsibilities). Are people still playing on Blackhand or has the GWJ Alliance shifted to other servers. Can anybody recommend a good server for us?
Thanks,
Edgar Newt
We're still here, Peec and Duclama are back(among others), and if the current crop of 40s can get to 55+, we might be able to do some bigger than 5-man raids without too much outside help. (I think - don't we have close to 20 if we get the current crop of 40s to raid level?)
If Blackhand isnt locked I may make another char there, but Im not one to lvl up alts for the sake of it.
Edgar, welcome back bud. Is there a reason you don't want to use the same characters and finish leveling them? Blackhand is still the one and only GWJ Alliance guild.

5-man? Try higher. We pretty often fill up a 15 man raid on Thursday nights and we're only 2-4 people away from filling up a 20 man run all on our own on Thursdays. And that's even with not everyone showing up at once, which is always our problem.
Wow, fast posts. Edgar, lots of people play alts when not raiding, so once you get to level 20+ you should have guildmates to group with.

Blackhand has never been one of the servers locked (thank goodness). Come on over!
I have a lvl 28 rogue named Whisque and I'm a slow leveller, so you'll probably catch up with me for grouping...
My main is only 34 on Sen'Jin but I belong to a small guild so sometimes nobody my lvl is on.
The problem would be I love being a Gnome warrior so I would want tohave the same type of guy which means same quests. Actually I think I did Human area quests from lvl 5 up, maybe if I stay in the dwarf area this time it will be new.

Uhh... I did say "bigger than 5-man"... doesn't it go 5, 20, 40? Or are there specifically 10, 15?
I am SO GLAD to hear that Blackhand remains strong.
Good thing you're on the other side.
If you're looking at the max players per instance, then yeah you have it right. There are dungeons capped at 5, 10, 15, 20, 40.
5 - Dire Maul
10 - Everything not mentioned
15 - Lower and Upper Blackrock Spire (LBRS & UBRS)
20 - Zul Gurub and west AQ
40 - Molten Core, Blackwing Lair and east AQ.
I did not know that, thanks, Leap!
Oh, I hit 48 last night and Peec's 45. I think I'll get her to hit Searing Gorge with me, that's a fun zone.
Good thing you're on the other side.
Razor, just so I wouldn't be "dead to you", I started a Horde character (an undead Warlock). Now can I join the club?!!

Nice! My 51 rogue has been sitting idle for a while, and I'd like to burn some of the rest off!
Edgar,
That's great news. Don't worry about not having folks to grind with, there are a plethora of toons on the Alliance at all levels. Adonfanna (Pigpen) has about 20 and I have 19
I just rolled a Warlock and a mage, neither of which are above level 8 so I'd be happy to run with you when I'm not playin my role of Sir Tanksalot!
I also have a priest at 18 that needs experience in instance groups.
My brothers deleted their characters,
I'm not dead yet!!!!
I just took a sabatical!!!

Well, tried to make a char after a 15 min queue and it said char creation is disabled at this time.
EDIT: Well it seems you now can't make new chars if there is any type of queue on ther server of choice.

Wow, really? Oh well, Blackhand doesn't have a queue most nights before 9:00pm, except Sunday.
Weeknights when I log in at 8central, there's a queue every night but (sometimes) Friday.
I'd suggest logging in one morning, making your character, and logging back off.
Or at lunchtime.
More dwarves? Man, what's Azeroth coming to?
Welcome all...let us know who you need invites to...and that and much equipment will be coming shortly!
Okay, now that we three are coming out of our self imposed retirement (my story is that I ran off with an exotic foreigner and started a family - and has the benefit of being actually true ) we are a little rusty on some basics: Number one, interface pluggins: What are you people using? When last I played I think I was using something called cosmo? Yesterday online Leapin mentioned CTMOD, and Edgar is pushing insomianix. Quick poll: What do you guys like? If there is a recent relevant thread please point it out.
Thanks, and I'm really looking forward to getting back into the fray,

I really disliked all 3 of those.
If you like/want smaller unit frames(the player and party health/mana bars), look for Perl Unit Frames and set them both to compact with a console command. Not as small as I'd like, but good enough until I make the leap into Discord.
For anyone that can cure poison/disease/remove debuffs, Decursive is indispensible.
Whispercast is a great little addon.
And Infobar. I'm currently using Bhaldie's InfoBar, but lots of folks like Telo's InfoBar and TitanBar. All good mods.
I like some of GypsyMod(which I think might be based on some CTMod code, but I prefer Gypsy).
Oh, and you must find the BananaPhone mod. No GWJer should be without it.
Edit: Another indispensible mod is ReagentInfo - it adds to the tooltip which professions/classes use the piece of loot you're hovering over. Never again wonder why something like Fish Oil is not grey, ReagentInfo tells you it's a Shaman reagent. An alternative to this is Auctioneer (and/or Informant), which has other great uses, too, but is easily gamed, especially in light of recent articles about gaming Auctioneer users.

I think you might have me confused with someone else.
Mods I currently have installed:
Bag Status Meters
Cooldown Count
CT_MailMod
CT_RaidAssist
Damage Meters
Decursive
Gypsy UnitBars
Money Display
Stance Sets
Weapon Quick Swap
I use Insomniax, and turn off the parts of it I don't use. It's really awesome, except for their lag in updating the mods post-patch. Then again, there are a bunch of buttloads of mods included, so I'd conjure it probably takes a few days.
Thanks everyone and Leapin, my apologies, your right, it was someone else my bad. Anyway, I hoping the gods of warcraft can resurrect Bloodstar from the binary graveyard. In anycase, Beowoof will once again wander the world in search of adventure.
Cheers,
Jayavarman
