I'll be sure to check this new version out, Plaguebearer. The map has been pretty cool with the previous versions.

If I don't have the game by some set date that everyone's going to start playing, you can go ahead and take me out of the roll and let someone that will actually be able to play have a spot.

I think he wants us to start from the beginning with new characters, Slink.
As for character choices, as long as I'm not a Barbarian I think I'll be okay; I had two or three barbarians over the course of my past D2 adventures, so it's been kind of overplayed. I'm thinking I'll go for a druid.

I'm surprised lolfighter didn't lock this one to prevent us from wishing someone happy birthday as well.
Anyway, Happy Birthday esuna. We're sure you already know how to have a really good time, so there's no need to hope you have a good birthday. :lol:

I just don't see why people have to go out of their way to post negatively about a game in a posotive thread. I don't try to get people into any games that they seem set on not playing, yet people still have a burning desire to tell me how much the game I enjoy sucks, or how such-and-such other game is better, even if they havn't played the game in question. It just really gets me down; I almost didn't even come back to look at this thread, let alone post in it again, because it's extremely extremely discouraging to even think about it anymore. World of Warcraft is fun for me, and for a lot of others, and that isn't going to change no matter how much the game 'lacks originality or innovation' or 'doesn't have such-and-such feature from such-and-such game', because I'm not looking for innovation or copies; I'm looking for something I can enjoy, which is what I found, and I don't understand why people can't be satisfied with leaving me or any others with our entertainment.

If I can find some install disks that aren't scratched just enough to be unreadable, I might join up. I've been bored a lot recently, and it has been forever since I've played.

You're making assumptions when explaining what "Role playing" is; I've never thought that in order for something to be an RPG, it had to have numbers and stats. I've enjoyed many games like Devil May Cry and the Zelda series; Action-adventure games where you are playing a character without a typical RPG stat system, no but you do find ways of improving your character as you progress through the game by getting new weapons and learning new abilities. I understand the idea and I enjoy the gameplay a lot.
I really think you should play the game before you argue that the player is merely 'watching the game'; There is nothing automatic about any of it except for a basic melee attack, and if you go around trying to use that constantly, you'll get your ass kicked. You have to decide when and in what order to use your other abilities, and factors such as mana/energy, cooldown time, and which ability is better at a certain situation come into play. Do I take the chanceI blast this Kodo with some damage to try to kill it before it kills my partner? Or do I heal my partner first to guarantee his survival? The former would probably generate enough aggro to distract the beast to attack me, but I might be low on mana when I need to heal myself, while the latter might drain enough mana that I won't be able to cast any damaging spells against the beast, thus prolonging the battle. And the game was made so the macros cannot be abused; one attack per macro, preventing long chains of attacks/ability uses to basically bot your way through the game.
Also, the 'stats' in World of Warcraft aren't like the stats in most normal games; When you level, you don't get a certain number of stat points to allocate into strength, agility, energy, etc. You do gain stat points, but it's an automatic thing that increases depending on your class. There is a stat-type thing along the lines of weapon and magic proficiencies; The more I use a stave to attack things, the more skill I gain for that weapon, and so on for different weapons and types of spells. The talent system will give you points that you can use to increase something specific about your character, like mana regeneration, but that's about as close to choosing stats as it gets.

I'm actually considering getting XM Radio with whatever setup I get; Normal radio stations play too many commercails and talk too much for me to want to listen to them. All I want is music, music, music.
