I'm sorry you think so.  Bye!


I'm not going to argue the point that I like RP servers more than other genres, but I will say that I do like them better.

I'm just tired of getting reported for cursing, and people seem less intelligent on RP, end.

I was reported on Deathwing for saying "fucking" the first week I started playing.  You're stupid for swearing like you were in general.  You said some stupid, offensive things.  You'd get reported for the dumb assed things you said on any server.

I was reported twice for the following:

Quote
Details (Note - Times are listed in Greenwich Mean Time, GMT):
10/12/2005 01:16 (GMT) - Screenor General - Darkshore "FAG = Four Angry Gays"

That was in General chat, nothing offensive unless you're an emo who looks to games for a social life of any sort, and even to that point shouldn't be taken offensively.

Quote
Details (Note - Times are listed in Greenwich Mean Time, GMT):

2005/10/14 09:16:32 Screenor Say "Now, if you don't mind, I have a woman to fuck."

This one wasn't in General chat, this was me screwing with an apparent newly wed couple, who were trying to have "sex" at the Inn at GoldShire, and I was then pretending I was stealing his women.

Both of which were put under the subject of "Sexual Harassment".

Other then that, we were on TS and I was doing that, you know you were laughing your ass off, so don't say you didn't find that funny and turn your back on me now, k. They weren't dumb, they were funny.

Now you're trying to justify your behavior?  That's foolish.  You obviously didn't read the WoW TOS because those are both reportable offenses.  You'd get reported for those on any server, as I've already mentioned.  You just need to stop being stupid in general chat is all.

Rested experience caps at 2.5 levels.  Not one level.  :P

Secondly, I'm not trying to get anyone to come play on an RP server.  In fact, I'd discourage them from doing so (at least at this time) if they aren't comfortable playing with RP'ers, because it is common.  I'm in an increadible guild and I love my server (and characer -- Sabetha, 60 Priest;  see avatar), I'd never leave it. 

I have a lot of fun with the friends I have on Feathermoon.  I know them all better than everyone on the Thunderlord list asside from Blaze, Warrior and Joe.

If you ever want to mess around on Feathermoon (if Thunderlord is down or you want to make an alt or something), I'll probably be on Sabetha (my Priest) or Larinda (my Rogue); both characters are Alliance.  Both Mythix and TSE play NE Druids on Feathermoon:  Ghetariong (Mythix) and Thorezard (TSE).

I think he means "/w user" and not the messaging involving mailboxes.

Would make sense, since I wasn't aware of a battle.net equivilant of the "message" system.  It's pretty much exactly the same as battle.net:

/w <user> <message> for a whisper

There are a few extra things you can do that are nice, though:

/r <message> (replies to the last whisper you've recieved -- you can press <TAB> to switch through the list of the last 10(?) users that have whispered you).

Alt + Up/Down scroll through the messages you've sent as well.

There's also another pretty nice feature in WoW which was also present in lesser significance on battle.net:  The /who command.

It's a lot more powerful in WoW mostly because there are more variables for each player on the game compared to the games played on battle.net

You can include level, part of name, class, race and location.  For instance, if you were looking for a Warlock in Tanaris to summon you to Gadgetzan, you could do the following:

/who Warlock Tanaris

If you're racist and want only a Gnome Warlock:

/who Gnome Warlock Tanaris

If you met someone a few days ago and want to talk to them, but have since forgotten their name, you can use a level range.  If you knew your friend was level 34 druid a few days ago, chances are they're levels 34-40.

/who 34-40 Druid

There's also some weird formatting you can do that is ultimately useless.  I'd guess it exists to provide some clairty to anyone else you show the command.

/who c-"<CHARACTER NAME>" l-"<LOCATION>" r-"<RACE>"

I'm pretty sure there are some more letters you can preappend values with, but I haven't cared enough to check into it.

The scripting interface for WoW is also pretty powerful.  This WoWWiki page provides the best reference for it that I've ever come accross.  WoWWiki is just about the best reference (for general knowledge.  Thottbot and Allakhazam are better for more item specific inqueries) for WoW in general you'll ever find.  It has information on all the zones, characters, lore, instances, etc.
