When im questing i like my mobs untagged.<BR/>So i guess its a matter of when you want people around you. Do you want them around when they are just an annoince or when you -together- can build something up and reach those higher goals through team-play.<BR/>I don't need my mmo to be filled to the brim with people *all* the time :)Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-16217982597540258912009-02-11T09:35:00.000+01:002009-02-11T09:35:00.000+01:00@Faulsey: Yeah, I guess most new rollers roll a DK...@Faulsey: Yeah, I guess most new rollers roll a DK this days... I imagine EP is pretty crowded. I haven't yet started a DK so I'll wait and see.<BR/><BR/>@Devv: thanks!<BR/><BR/>@Gnomeaggedon: yeah, I don't want it to be crowded. But a little company doesn't hurt. Yesterday I got that for a while. I soloed a 2-man-q (yay!!! Rogue rocks!) and just as I finished a paladin came by. I offered to help her when the named mob had respawned and then we did another group q together and chatted a bit. (It turned out she was familiar with my guild). We ended up on each others friends list. It's those meetings that I miss when the area is too empty.<BR/><BR/>@Klepsacovic: Oh I wish I hadn't all those lag problems. If so I'm convinced I'd just love Dalaran. As it is now I sort of shiver every time I'm forced to go there.<BR/><BR/>@Gevlon: You ARE a lonely wolf aren't you?<BR/><BR/>@Flawlless: I'm alive and as hooked at WoW as ever! I hope everything's fine back at KT. Don't hesitate to come by and say hi! (you don't have to roll a lvl 1 this days, you have the DK option!)<BR/><BR/>@Esdras: I've never done that - checked how many people are in my zone at the moment. Should do that at some point. Maybe I was less lonely than I thought.<BR/><BR/>@Carra: probably yes, but I'm not entirely sure that it always goes quicker. Some group quests are soloable but there surely are times when you wish there were people around.<BR/><BR/>@Oriniwen: yeah, it definitly is relaxing if you're in the right mood.<BR/><BR/>@Darraxus: I did both the areas, following Jame's guides. But yeah BT was probably a bit special.<BR/><BR/><BR/>@Dw-Redux: oh you really sound a bit bitter. You must have had some very bad experiences. But seriously an MMO without other players around isn't really an MMO?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-1209862141218478852009-02-10T19:27:00.000+01:002009-02-10T19:27:00.000+01:00I have become hardned and cold now it seems.

Mobs that I had to queue for hours to get a chance at, nodes that I would have waded hip deep through Hordies to even ping for my Gatherer mod and quest items that should have been labelled 'legendary' for how difficult they were to get are now all easily acessable.<BR/><BR/>It's nice, it's relaxing and it allowed me to savour a bit more of the quest and world content than I did the first time around when I was ruthlessly battling my server for very limited quest resources.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-40031763731921633212009-02-10T12:26:00.000+01:002009-02-10T12:26:00.000+01:00It does have one benefit: faster levelling.

DK starting area was a bit crowded but didn't really slow me down a lot. And by levelling to 61 in the plaguelands, I skipped the outland rush. In fact, I played in a deserted zone (plaguelands) just to level faster.<BR/><BR/>Seeing the zones deserted is a bit sad though. You see as many lvl 80s in the old world as you see people who still level a character.Carrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155709707982913637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-4670367587222039052009-02-10T11:31:00.000+01:002009-02-10T11:31:00.000+01:00Its a bit funny being in empty lands.I am leveling...Its a bit funny being in empty lands.<BR/><BR/>I am leveling my death knight mining and skinning and then in wetlands mining i done a /who and kept checking and for just over 20 mins i was the only one there ona Friday night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-4603822670033566572009-02-10T08:53:00.000+01:002009-02-10T08:53:00.000+01:00Ha..

Certainly it's not like when I was leveling my paladin right after WotLK and everything was terribly crowded. Now I think there is a perfect feel: not empty, but a few people. For my paladin I enjoyed getting past the starting zone and seeing people only occasionally. They reminded me that this is a multi-player world, but they were infrequent enough to indicate that is it a large world and difficult to crowd.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand I love that Dalaran is packed. Shattrath felt weird with people all spread out except clusters near inns and BGs. Orgrimmar and Ironforge also feel good since people tend to congregate near the entrance, bank, and AH, all of which are very close to each other, causing people to naturally congregate and create a busy feel without truly being packed. Those two cities make me optimistic because they are really just the same they were three years ago, and that means that the wave doesn't have to always pass by.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-91413416218451450382009-02-10T04:32:00.000+01:002009-02-10T04:32:00.000+01:00Now you see, as a late entrant to WoLK, I have the...Now you see, as a late entrant to WoLK, I have the opposite impression.<BR/><BR/>I, of course, experienced the same desolate misty environment that your rogue did.<BR/><BR/>It was an abandoned place...

There were loads of other people in the starting zones. Thus, to me, the newbie zones are always places I envision should be heaving with crowds of players.<BR/><BR/>Now, whenever I roll a new character, the starting zones are almost empty - it's sort of sad actually, even though there's no real need to team up before level 10, it is something fun to do whilst learning your new class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
