[WOW] Considering Outland EU need advice

[MPDias]

Hey Guys,

Im Looking for some advice on what you would do in my situation?

Some backround about me.
Started playing wow inTBC, and when my wife took some interest i open a second account so that we could play together, but she lost interest when her priest hit 45
I kept the 2nd account but never boxed them before.
I used to be in Hardcore raiding guild with my resto Druid, raiding 5nights a week for 4hours a day during WOTLK.
When my daughter was born 1 year ago, PvE came to a stand still, was kicked from the guild due to not raiding so focused more on solo stuff, Achiements/BGs
Moved my Resto Druid and Ret Pala to Outland because Tarren mill became a dead server.

Stopped playing my Druid and Pala on Outland because the Que times have just become unbearable once im finished putting my daughter to sleep in the evenings.

I have a 85 warlock ,85 Priest and stated leveling Shaman now 61 on Tarren Mill

I decided to start Boxing on TM about 1 month ago, Started with 3 mages now 30+ on Tarren Mill and then decided I would just go 5 account so my 1st 5 Boxing team also on Tarren Mill, 1xWarrior 3xlocks and 1xShaman currently level 53. (unfortunatley no RAF allowed in my Country).

Once I get the 3 new account to 55 I want to Start a 4 DKs team.

So my question is What would you do?

1) Start a new 4x DK team on Outland and use the Pala/Druid as the 5th. (this would be a pvp Team).
or Seeing that there is a FCM from Outland to Taren Mill, which i only read today and of course also expires Today
2) Move the Pala and Druid back to Tarren Mill and start the 4DK team there.

Advantages - Tarren Mill
1) Larger variety of Charaters to PVE with.
2) No Que time to log in
Disadvantage - Tarren Mill
1) Dead Server
2) Auction house economy
3) Longer que time for Battle grounds and arena
4) No other Boxing teams

Advantage - Outland
1) Autobots Roll Out is already established and it must be fun to play with other Boxers
2) Less que time for battlegrounds and Arena
Disadvantage-
1) Locked Server and 1000+ que to log in (guess i could log in when its baby bath time and by the time she goes to sleep ill be logged in)

All advice welcome.

Mark

You can change country in account management and get RAF going.

[MPDias]

I did look at that option but i need to contact support to change my country of residence, and i dont think it will be that easy to prove that i changed countries, or am i missing something?

Never Looked at this before, I looked at the restrictions and just left it at that

[zenga]

You have also the option to go for more populated servers, that don't have queues yet.

Kazzak horde is awesome.
Frostmane, ravencrest for alliance.
And there are many more (draenor is good for horde, but it's a pve realm).

[MPDias]

That could be another option, I was only able to find 3 servers mentioned below, in one of the posts i found a while ago.
EU - Alliance - Outland - Autobots Roll Out
EU - Horde - Grim'Batol - GIMP
EU - Alliance - Ravencrest

Autrobots Roll out i think is the most Active with all his post on both this forum and the WOW forum.
Been on Grim Batol a few times and only seen 2 Chars at most logged on.
Dont remeber if I could find the Ravencrest guild when i had logged in, think i searched for Nikita with no success.

Which is why i only mentioned the 2 options.

Zenga im guessing you on Kazzak? maybe ill pop in tonight and we can chat. hoping your ingame name is Zenga.

I was only suggesting that other high populated realms could be an option since you mentioned that you like to pug pve. The realms I mentioned are well progressed realms in terms of pve. On kazzak for example you have 24/7 pugs that clear several Dragon Soul heroic modes, if you are playing in the middle of the night you'll always find people to do an rbg with. This all regardless from boxing, and any boxing guilds.

I am indeed on kazzak (also on a few other realms). But I mainly play my toons solo, boxing is something I do when there is nothing else to do or when I just find like playing the game alone. So I am not really the most friendly person to socialize with nor the player you want to rely on to team up with for boxing purposes (really I'm a bastard when someone fucks up in a raid/bg and I'm a grumpy old man, definitely when you are from another continent and I can make politically incorrect jokes). Long story short: unless you can find other boxers on kazzak or if you like to play the game 'alone', kazzak might not be what you are looking for. If you still wanna chat ingame, your best shot is to just do /who santa maria; and any toon that looks like zenga with weird characters is mine, unless I have fanboys.

Ive been on outland eu for awhile now and yes the que times can be a problem, usually upto 20min wait at peek
Patch days like 4.3 had about an hour wait. Mop launch will be even worse.

I was on grim batol for a year (only moved because i prefer ally ) the guild gimp was full of multiboxers but as always people take breaks and at the moment not many people are on.
A few of us from there are now on outland.

At the moment currently boxing on outland are:
Ebony 5 boxing
Cyrberus 5 boxing
Hugsy(me) 5 boxing
Flask 4 boxing
Ashley 10 boxing
Quiding 10 boxing
Tanknspanker 10 boxing
There are other boxers who are currently on a break or have stopped

You can change your country of residence yourself. Not at my pc so can't check how it's done, but I remember it took me very little time to figure out.

Almost positive that this was recently changed because of people exploiting it. You now have to talk to billing and send proof if I'm not mistaken.

lies :D

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20663759/Howtohange.png this will yet you have a usa/eu starter accont we do it all the time to "bug" out the ptr char copy's as the eus are allways bugged

[MiRai]

I can change that setting as well, so I can shop in another region. I thought we were talking about changing regions on existing accounts? I'm lost... feel free to carry on without me.

well that yet u buy the other side so you can play on EU/USA even if u live in USA/EU. if we talking about you moved from usa to EU then u need to phone them but even then they say no and they wont change the acconts over you have to re setup.

but battle.net emails can be used to play both usa/eu if u buy the right copy off the game. or have staters.

I also normally Play solo as well since my Daughter was born, it just gets boring after long periods of time, and having my own guild with only my charaters in it seems abit little looney when i start chating in guild and then answer myself with another character, just so that i can see the green text :)

MiRai, seems that you and me are on the same page with this one, I have 5 accounts already on 1 Battle.net account and set to my country which is not eligible for RaF.

If im reading correctly, Ebony is speaking about a new accounts and Different Regions, and i need to change Countries.
When a select RAF on the account i get a Access denied Message "Recruit a Friend is not available in all countries, blah blah blah"

Guess ill have to just level the Long way :(



At the moment currently boxing on outland are:
Ebony 5 boxing
Cyrberus 5 boxing
Hugsy(me) 5 boxing
Flask 4 boxing
Ashley 10 boxing
Quiding 10 boxing
Tanknspanker 10 boxing

Now this sounds like fun, Guess you can add me to the list soon, if you will have me, just need 3 more levels on 3 toons and ill create the Dks on Outland.

Ahhh... that must have been it. People who were in regions where RaF was not allowed were still able to change that setting and alter their location to gain RaF benefits. They were exploiting that and Blizzard changed it for certain people in certain regions. I don't have a link to where I read that but, I can say that I came across an entire thread about the recent changes of being locked out of manually selecting your region. Obviously, this only affected those in regions who were not eligible for RaF in the first place.

Again, RAF is not available in Israel. I've changed the country from israel to something else (think Ireland, but not sure) and was able to do it. Now I have a total of seven accounts:
A, B->F, C->G, D, E.

Can you still do this right now?

EDIT: Nevermind... you've already switched.

Pazgaz, exactly how do you change it?

I found on Blizz Forum http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1302900047 , but would be interested to know how you change contries?

[Pazgaz]

I'm afraid that it was indeed changed.
I was able to change Country of Residence in my account settings but now there's a question mark there instead. When you hover over it there's a pop up saying you need to contact customer support if you want it changed.
Edit: I guess I was lucky and did it a few days before the change. Israel -> Ireland. I was planning on changing it back to Israel when I'm done with RAFing, but now I think I'll lay low...
