Hey all,

After getting myself WoW and TBC and reformatting the hard drive (WoW kept crashing my pc during installation) I finally got everything installed and wanted to do the sign up thing and lo and behold .... the sign up and maintenance page is not available ...

And they still thank me for my patience ... Haha, being a S'African, that's like being cut off in traffic and being thanked for it!

Anyway, I know this has been done before and rather recently but I am looking for a server with fellow S'Africans. Call me fussy but this is what I will be playing and what I would like to achieve:

There are two of us who will be playing:
1) Tank and either pure / hybrid healer (druid / Pally). I might try a warlock for a change tho.
2) PvP is in our blood (Love BG's).
3) We want to hit 70 but will be taking it rather casually.
4) We would like to try Ally for a change (Did Horde on US servers, For the Horde!). Ally will be our mains for now and an alt PvP server for some horde characters.

Essentially, we would like to eventually join a guild that doesn't require us to raid / lvl like speed demons.

Hope I am not too demanding.

So if you folk out there have server suggestions, that would be great.

Ciao

EDIT: Forgot: Bought EU copy of WoW

I'm also rather new to Wow and I'll give my input.

I started a Tank. Very nice to play and the gear rocks. I'm now lvl 40. Once I hit 70 I'll start a Rogue.

I'm so tempted to start a rogue now but it would just break my speed for now. If you want a Killing machine get a Rogue. Tanks are always in demand and fun to play with however when it comes to PvP. The warrior sucks - Rogue Owns.. !

Just my 2c
 
Did you install EU or US?

I'm not very familiar with EU realms, but as far as US is concerned, Stormrage seems to be the realm with the most South Africans on it, according to the GM's. And there really is alot - if you see someone somewhere in the game world, chances are almost 60% that they're South African.
 
Hi,

I bought an EU copy. I have played on Stormrage for a bit, but switched to a PvP server, Horde side for most of my US stay.

I have switched due to a few overseas mates who also want to start up. They are all UK based gamers.

Finally got registered, need to patch when I get home, so I guess I'll only be on from tomorrow.

Last patch was bout 350 - 360 MB's. Depneds on how old your copy is. Should be done with the patches in about 3 - 4 hours :(

Start on Burning Blade server. Join the Alliance and we can have some fun together
 
How many locals are on Burning blade?

I was contemplating Dentarg but am easy. Just so long as there a few locals, I am quite content on any PvP server.

Excluding myself about 10 i think. I can list their names for you. There is a Guild there to run by a Local. His In-game name is Alwyn. Guild is called Legion of Light.

My name:

Pitbullza - warrior lvl 40 :o
 
To go a bit offtopic... Warriors far from sucks in PvP. In fact a warrior in PvP can be deadly in the right hands. There is a good reason why everyone complains about warrior&palla 2v2 teams.

Now Pala I can agree with.

The only thing good about a Warrior is his HP/Damage dealing.

Straight face to face combat.

That is where it ends. Untill you reach Beserker stance lvl 30 I think, you will get Fear from mages. Once you have beserker you can combat the fear.

Then It comes to hunters. They trap you and then you cant get close enough to deal damage and you also have a pet to worry about.

Rogue. They go stealth. Given you can detect stealth but only lasts a little while and has a big cooldown. They "Sap" deal damage sap deal damage. You're powerless when that happens. Now for a group the Warrior is good but for normal encounters and the War has no healer..... PWNED !
 
We used to play a Warr/Priest combo. It worked out quite well. Got heals, slows, a nerfed fear (still worked okay though)

We are thinking Druid / Pally combo. Both can tank and heal and can deal with both close quarters or ranged attacks. I just do not like the whole Michael Jackson look that the N/E has!

I have made a warlock on Burning Blade who will be my ALT. My son is starting exams and I'll only make my main after he finishes.
