Latter Deis Sanctus is a part of a larger community at mormonbattalion.cc. On the Horde side, we are on the Kael'thas server and the Alliance are on the Vek'nilash server. <br /><br />We have mostly Mormons, but not entirely. However, they do have to follow the same code of conduct. <br /><br />This is not meant to be a guild promo, just a note if you are wanting to see the social side of the game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827498795976512084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350783821016198693.post-59267534791245088332012-10-10T14:54:17.404-05:002012-10-10T14:54:17.404-05:00I haven't played in over a year, but I can hon...I haven't played in over a year, but I can honestly say it's the most fun game I have ever played. I played for a few months before quitting for the first time, then started up again and I knew more what I was doing. I have a couple of tips for you to help you have the most fun:<br />1. Bookmark wowhead.com and use it often. Blizzard has made questing very easy compared to vanilla (the original without expansions) but sometimes it can still be confusing and annoying.<br />2. Play with people you know. It doesn't matter if they are friends from high school, college, the local ward, or some previous quorum buddy or whatever (I played with one of my high school friends' mom even) it makes the experience so much enjoyable.<br />3. Realize that WoW is ALL about end-game content. if you get MoP (Mists of Pandaria, which will take me to number 4) the game really picks up at level 90<br />4. Learn the jargon/lingo so you can actually understand the chat in the cities and in dungeons and pvp. which takes me to my next point.<br />5. PVP and run the dungeon finder while leveling. If you win a battleground, you gain a TON of XP. Dungeons are great for finding the gear you need and for gaining xp fast.<br />6. Have fun with your character. My friends all wanted me to play, and I said the only way I'd play the game is if I could be a bear, thinking that that wasn't possible. It was, the druid class can shape shift into a couple different animals, the bear being one of them. I got a little bored, and went to a different class. Trust me, the way to keeping the game fun after years of playing is trying out various play styles and characters. I DO currently have 5 level 85 toons (characters) all with purple gear.<br />7. Learn the basics of gear. Every expansion, there's the saying "green is the new purple" that's because the better the gear, the different the color= grey<white<green<blue<purple<orange. BTW, don't waste your time on orange. it's for hardcore players who seriously live for the game.<br />8. Don't feel like you absolutely have to get your money's worth out of it since you're paying 15 dollars a month. WoW is partially addicting for that reason.<br />9. If you are on one realm and your friends are on another, add their blizzard emails so you can be "real life friends" and do dungeons/raids/pvp together. Since you're still relatively new, it might be worth it to start a new character on friends realms. I wish I had done that before getting 3 lvl 80 toons on one realm only to realize that most of my good friends are on other realms.<br />10. Horde is not better than alliance, Alliance is not better than Horde. It all depends on the realm you are on. for that reason, it MAY be worth checking out http://www.wowrealmstatus.net/ - you don't want to be a new player on the alliance side on a heavily horde dominated server, unless you want to get ganked constantly.<br />11. This goes without saying - don't get sucked in to where you start losing friends. I quit twice, first time because I had a girlfriend who I wanted to spend time with instead of WoW, so I quit (Stephen knows her). After I picked it up the second time, I played with a roommate. I Then played for a full year and a half, being absorbed into it. I quit when I started realizing I was blowing off relationships for the game. It's fun, and addicting if you put yourself into bad situations... but then again, anything is.<br />12. Don't ever play a gnome. Have some self respect and don't play a gnome.Jordan Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570331842725456177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350783821016198693.post-50453584295662338542012-10-10T14:22:32.113-05:002012-10-10T14:22:32.113-05:00I'm on Vashj.I'm on Vashj.
