My first toon was a rogue. Good times. Just don't let it consume your life like it did mine for several years!!

I totally forgot I put my real ID on here, I got a couple invites and didn't know who they were, I accepted though..

I'm trying to put together a challenge mode group to knock out the WoD challenge dungeons before the patch hits on the 19th.

If any experienced players want in, send me a message or post here. It's not easy so know what you're doing.

Jonathann, I have been using Roth UI (Diablo themed) for about 4-5 years now and I really like it. I'm going to go to minimal addons in Legion because they are making a good bit of improvements. Playing Legion Beta has helped me get back to the more basic style as well.

Titanpanel was a good suggestion, I just never took advantage of it so I deleted it.

ElvUI is very popular. I've heard of some more serious raid groups making their raiders use it for consistancy.

ETA: Roth UI is going to stop being updated by the original creator in Legion, another reason why I'm switching.

Also, people post their Real ID (like SBvital#1350) because you can see them on different realms, Unless theres a guy on my server named Raijinkajin I won't be able to add that name.

Unless somethings changed.

Ok, I think I got my Real ID name, its your Battletag right?

If so its Merek#11923

So I finally went ahead and bought the game. Still waiting for my account to get upgraded to full version, which typically takes 72 hours.

Yeah, RealID is Battletag, I think it used to be called that or something and it just stuck with me.

Advice? Join a guild or find some friends you like to play with. I can only play so much by myself. If you decide to buy the game up to current expansion, you will get a free max level boost. I wouldn't do that until you leveled your first character through it to make sure you know what your doing.


How do I get my free max lvl boost??

I started playing on this yesterday. Man, really brought back memories. No addons, no baked-in quest helper or anything.. there's something about the simplicity of the game that makes it fun.. I think the fact that you have to read the quest dialogue to see what direction to head for a quest and actually explore an area to find what you need is what made vanilla so fun, particularly as a first experience. It forced you to immerse and explore, whereas all of the extra help in the game now takes away from the immersion.

I played Nostalrius before it got shut down, 10k pop was fantastic. Don't want to put in time to another server just to have it shut down again ><

I have a few questions.

After sending a message to SBvital in game, I cant figure out how to get back into local chat. When I activate chat it says [SBvital].

Looks like I should of choose undead for a rogue instead of a night elf.

Finally got to level 10 and have to choose a specialty. Not sure what to do here.

And Finally, how do I check my skinning and mining skill?

Hit tab and type / then name for chat

Specialties have different abilities so just pick the one that looks most interesting

I think the book that has your skills has a tab at the bottom for professions

To the OP.

Is this your first MMO?

My advice...

Don't be in a hurry. Don't rush to the level cap. Don't skip areas. Explore, quest, and soak in the lore.

UO is about 1,000x more complex than WoW so you should be fine.
