Hi guys,
I’ve been gone for a while. I decided to head on over to EQ2 to give boxing a try there on the PVP server. Shortly after I realized that without extreme amount of dedication on twinking out each individual character that I would not be a formidable foe. The time investment to do that to me wasn’t worth wild. On a good note with the brand new expansion the gear rewards are awesome, which wouldn’t be much of a problem. That is if you want to spend $40 x 6 for it. Speaking of which that’s a all in one package so if you ever wanted to try to box it now’s your chance with the price.
Bunch of friends IRL and on¬-line talked to me and stated they wanted to play together so the six of us in total created a static group and have been playing EQ2 ever since. I was having a good time over there, just really a blast. However last night while I was unable to play they all decided to reroll back to WOW, and for that matter on a different server.
I gave it a lot of thought and if I do in fact return to wow I’d rather resume my 5 boxing setup at level 65 then reroll as a single level 1 noob. The last time me and this group came to wow they all quit, much like this time in EQ2. So looking that far ahead in the future I think it will be in my best interest to play my 5 box team.
What kind of sucks however is I am on a different server then the rest of you. Mainly because I like it a lot there and all these friends played there. Now there moving too a different server. I’d rather not shell out $125 bucks just to move again.
The thought has crossed my mind however moving to Mag where most of you seem to be. So tell me do you guys do anything together? Besides good company on maybe vent do any of you get together to raid towns and such? If I get back into it I could have a lot of fun with that.
Anything that I should know about in the last couple months that’s new? Perhaps a new add-on or something handy for boxing?

Yeeeey! WB! Hoping for more movies, loved the two first.
Too bad about your friends, I know the feeling after playing EQ, WoW, LOTRO and EVE and loosing a lot of friends along the grind.

Bradster, we've missed your voice bud :)
I know the frustrations of having friends move to a different game. Let me tell you a little story about Star Wars Galaxies and something called the "New Game Enhancements" I like to call them, the "Shitty Ass Attempt to Make a Game Toddlers can Play Craphancements"
My guild, who we were all good friends, rerolled to City of Villians, needless to say, I didn't like that game at all, and then finally to WoW, but they all played as Alliance.
And so I ended up in WoW, and now am playing on Magtheridon. And loving it. Last night around 130 am EST I was getting ganked at Nesingwary, and along comes Reprisal to clear them all out. I think Diego made it down eventually too. While we don't have the most talkative guild chat, it is definitely more fun than playing with other guilds and I think that once all of us hit 70 the real raids will be coming. I know I plan on trying for some. A giant sync'd raid on Stormwind with multiboxers would make PC Gamer for sure let alone across all the forums of WoW. If you do decide to join us Brad, you will be welcomed with open arms and embraced as the brother you are.

Heyas Brad, Welcome back.
Not a great deal has happened (Aside the influx of hundreds of new types).
Pop in on IRC once in a while, we are all very talkative in there.

Thanks guys. I think IRC is blocked here, i'll look around for the IRC info later and give it a try.
So hows this new built in Vent with WOW? I left right before this patch. I fear I may logon and have 500 people sending me a voice message calling me a cheater :lol: DO gold sellers use voice chat yet? U buys gold I has a family?
Xzin still have his hands full? Has he came back to wow yet?
About joining you guys on Mag.
How many boxers are on there now?
What level is most of your boxing teams?
Anyone play from 12:30am - 5am EST on weekdays?
Brad....
Didn't you transfer OFF Mag?
And wheres my gold?
You should come back to Mag again.

You can set it to work in a party, in a raid, in a bg or in a channel but not all of the four at once

You should come back to Mag again.
Thinking about moving over there. The reasons I moved to this server are pretty much void at this point. Going to get started here in the couple days and try to get a feel for how things are going to go.
About the gold I never told you to take off anything, I will never look at belt buckles the same again after.... but if I do move over there I will take care of it.
Are you playing wow again? Once my wife pays up her share of the bills I can make the move over to Mag. If that ever happens (a story not worth getting in to!).

Get your ass on Mag!! We got lots of boxers on now, and I'm on every night around your time as well. We can help you with startup gold and bags if you need...
Cheers,

Thanks Stealthy
I'm 65 x 5 with epic ground mounts, Not sure how much I have saved up for the cheaper flying ones. I didn't buy gear except at level 20, other then that I bought maybe 4 items since level 20. So I'm good with the cash flow in game. I'm going to fire these things up, I left everything as is so most likely have a bunch of out of date Addons to fix. After which I should be in good shape.
Going to spend a couple days fooling around and see what I think. Then I may create a 5 Box team over there (my alts) try it out for a bit. If I like it still by 20 then i'll move my mains there. I'll keep you guys posted when I make my guys there.
Will be all troll shamen (elemental). Its kinda funny I allready have 2 troll shaman at 60 and a cow one, I used to love the class (Enchancement) I pondered doing Shaman over Locks before, so least soon i'll get to try it.
Not sure if I can't start this week. I'm hopeful.

You might as well take your priesnt n lock team to 70. Priests received some nice buffs last patch - namely fear ward trainable now, PW:S affected by healing & spell damage, pain suppression targettable on friendlies and the cooldown reduced to 2 minutes.
Basic flying mounts are 900 gold each (800 for the training, 100 for the mount itself).
A good tactic to make sure you're cashed up is to bascially do all the quests in each zone up to Nagrand, then grind up to 70. Then start doing the quests in Blade's Edge, Netherstorm and Shadowmoon for cash.
Anyway, pst me when you start on Mag and I'll throw you a g-invite.
Cheers,

Stealthy, your from AU right?
I play alot during the daytime and quite a bit from 10pm --> 5am AEST (Melbourne) are many of the boxing crew on at those times?
I am only Level 32, and will probably continue on Barthilas and see how all my mates go with their characters but if interest dies off in re-rolling I will move to Mag.
My major concerns are:
a> What is population like on Mag
b> What are the battlegrounds like? I play bg9 and am curious to see if Ruin is anywhere near as popular.
c> what is world pvp like on mag, on barthilas there is massive amounts of world pvp ... and i am keen for alot of world pvp.

You should definitely come to mag. At the moment The Zerg has two groups of 70s, I just hit 69 with my priest/lock group, a group that is 66, and several groups from 30-60. I also know of one more 5boxer on the server that has a couple groups of 70s. I keep weird hours so i'm online at all hours of the day. I think mag has a medium population, haven't done any bgs yet so i don't know how they are. There is a decent amount of world pvp, I know i spent 2-3 hours defending halaa tonight until i got bored with it. Plus you will get a lot of people in full gladiator gear thinking they're badass enough to take all 5 of you at once... I still laugh my ass off every time i rock their world.

Definetly food for thought.
My team isn't very PvP focused (even thought thats what I"ll be doing 95% of the time at 70) but I am not too phased at how well I do I just want to enjoy something a little different.
We'll see how things go. I wont xfer till I'm at least into Outlands and want to see how far my friends get with levelling before I piss off to another server.
Not to mention I host teamspeak for a number of Guilds now and host website/forums/domains etc. :P

The more the merrier. We were just discussing tonight how much lag we could create by raiding some alliance town with 7 or 8 of us. :P Ebolah, Reprisal and I did my run through Ring of Blood. The DoTs were stacking up in two full rows. :D
Helping another group speed up so we could jump in:

ROFL that picture is great.
Edit: Got all my clients and addon's patched last night. Well most addons anyway. Enough to do a quick ramparts run before I had to log.

Man... That looks like so much fun.
Are you guys gonna try to do Kara or Gruuls at all when you get the people?
Isn't Magtheridon in Battlegroun Ruin? If I can talk my brother-in-law on rerolling too, I'd be more than happy to transfer! That would also allow me to get 67 warlock off of m 70 priest's account :P
Though I would have to warn you, I am quite talkative.
Yes, Mag is in the ruin BG.

Then I might have seen you guys at one point or another. I play horde on Mannoroth :)
