Aiya I have just created my first character, Kanafinwe, a dwarf hunter. I am playing on the realm "Durotan". Hope to see some of you there . Maglor

er.. if we play on different realms doesn't that mean we can't play together (i.e. the only 2 playing so far seem to have chosen different realms already )? Are the realms actually different servers? Guess that's why I was asking before where we were going to play and as which characters. Seems to play as a guild we'd have to have characters that play in the same area to start. My two cents...

I'm going to give Lothar server a try tonight. So we can compare and contrast, please give a small write-up on the server where you're playing (Server populations, that kind of thing, anything you think could help in the decision). We'll see which would be the best for us, if there's no real difference I'm leaning towards Lothar (he was always a pretty cool guy :})

Arathorn, I intend to mainly play on a pvp server, so my MAIN characters are going to be there... that's why I see my info likely being different from most others... however, I expect to have at least one character on the guild's server... I also started a Human Mage on Dalaran under the name 'Venra' but she's only level 1 as I haven't actually started PLAYING her yet... and my NE Priestess Eliara is on Sargeras...
When the Guild picks an official server I'll start a character with a name based off my guild name there...
edit: also, for the guild, we just have to be on the same faction... not starting in the same place... once you get to level 15-20 it's pretty easy to travel between different lands... (only Gnome/Dwarf and Orc/Troll start in the same place... every other race has their own unique start location.)

Arathorn, the Realms are different servers, just like in the OB with tests 1-35. So no, we wont be able to play with each other...that is also why I said where I was playing, so we would be able to play together... but I guess no one wants to join me . Eonwe, with the exception of population, all of the Realms are identical so I'm not sure what to write for a write up. Durotan had the lowest population when I was starting up, that is why I chose it. So far I have met a few nice people on there, and only put 2 on my ignore list -- ironically they were named frodobaggins and Sam . Maglor

Ok, I've just checked, and some of my other friends are playing on Stormrage. I don't know yet what kind of server it is, but if it is non-rp, non-pvp, I would gladly ask you guys to play there as well, that way I can play with all my friends without having to make a whole batch of different chars. (I do believe they are Horde tho.)

Gwaihir, Yeah, I realize that only certain characters appear in the same place, but that's why I was suggesting that guild chars should be of the same type so that we could start them together. Getting to level 20 takes a while, so playing with a guild member would be put off until you could visit them (although it's easy enough for a dwarf or human to take the railway system at a lower level to get to each other's territories... heh)
---
In any case, I still most likely won't be able to get WoW until next Wednesday (Grimbold was going to front me a copy, but unfortunately he hasn't found it being sold anywhere near him, so even he can't play yet *sigh*).
Once I get it, I'll revisit this thread and post my details. Hopefully by then we may have a consensus of where we can start up (assuming of course that guild members well into the game will be willing to start a new char ;D).

Well, I was hoping to pick a server based on something more than "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" but if we want to just get straight to the getting together,.. :}

Eonwe: You have a whole week to pick from my perspective, since I won't be playing until then ;D BUT once I get on I want to hit the pavement (or dirt path) running <rushes off to get fitted for "runnin' pants" a la Bugs Bunny>

Ok, I just got the reply that the Stormrage server is non-pvp, non-rp. I would suggest starting your chars there so we can all play together and have a good time with my other friends. edit: hold that for a bit, I'm not sure yet whether Alliance and Horde chars on the same server are allowed. If they are, go right ahead, if not, pick any other server you want to. (My friends are playing Horde, that's why

Horde and Alliance chars are allowed on the same server, but they cannot party or (I think) be members of the same guild.

I'm thinking Lothar would be a good one. USEast Normal Server.
I spent late last night on it, and alot of today on it, and it's held about a "medium" server population throughout.
Anyone looking for me there can find me as Auros, a Human Paladin. Remember to choose Alliance chars or we'll never meet :}
So, if there are no objections, let's go for Lothar.
