Yeah.. so I'm extremely bored of wow... nothings fun anymore.. I can arena and get higher to get barely better gear for what point? To be more bored...
Can't hardcore pve raid.. Have all the pvp gear available for all specs on my druid.. been all specs on my druid fully epiced.. badge gear aren't upgrades = heroics are boring..
What is there to do..
/Goes and plays D2 again
/cry
When I got bored, I completely mixed everything up. I rerolled:
PVE to PVP
Horde to Alliance
Rogue/Shaman/Priest to Warlock
Starting afresh on a new server where I didn't know anybody and didn't have any high level toons to supply me with gold and bags was the most refreshing thing I ever did. It made WoW feel like 2005 again.
Don't be afraid to turn your back on 1000s of hours of work. What good is it doing you if you're not having fun.
I have 70s on both PvE and PvP serverQuote:

I have a 70 of almost every class and really starting over at lvl 1 on one of those new classes would be the most boring thing (I did and got to 15 before I almost quit from the boringness of it)
I pay $15/month for my guild's vent, $5/month for website, $30/month for 2 accnts on the server with the guild.. rerolling on a new server would not be cool.
Still bored :whistling:
I suggest doing something completely different then. As in, something other than WoW. Take a break for a week or two, play on a console, read a book or whatnot. Just don't log in.
Worse case scenerio, shut down your accounts untill the expansion comes out.
See but then when I do get back into it I'd be pissed at myself for those many weeks of not getting arena points lolQuote:

That's exactly my point. The more time you spend away from the game, the more it will feel good when you return to it.
I have to work a lot and tend to my family, so I don't get to play very often, perhaps mabye 10 hours a week.
Besides, why would you miss out on arena points since it's not going to award you anything but useless meager trinkets compared to what you got now?
season4 comes out in 1 month, all of that is upgrades, if I don't have enough pnts saved up I'll be far behind all other arena teams for a long time.Quote:

I think you have to seriously ask yourself why you're playing.
Because about 30 people I know IRL play on Magtheridon with me. lol.Quote:

I made a team of 4 tauren shaman and a pally and I was in the same boat as you. I bg'd until I had 2 parts of s1 gear for each of them, ran around the barren world looking for some world pvp, and at that point I just decided I needed a change. I played horde through 5 70s leveled as singles and leveled the old fashioned way. So I recently rerolled alliance on a high pop RP-PvP server (Emerald Dream). I'm having a blast so far. All it took for me to start having fun again was a change. I've played alliance side before, but it was so long ago I forgot most of it. Plus, I haven't seen any of the post 60 alliance areas for myself. Not to mention I remember probably less than 10% of the alliance quests I've done in the past.
Another thing that helped refresh my interest in WoW. I'm taking the time doing things I don't normally do. Like leveling tradeskills, exploring more, and reading the quest dialog... :x
Maybe you just need a change.
So, since you re-rolled on a RP-PVP server...do you actually roleplay? And...if so, with multiple characters?Quote:

Every guild seems to concentrate on being pubbies with complete lack of skill and common sense or running nothing but heroics and raids ever, that is my problem with WoW right now. Nobody can gear up in my guild but damn if we're not going to raid every day. What would make me regain interest in WoW would be a fresh server, PvP or hell, even PvE. I'd get to reroll and start over with new people. Endgame WoW is a bit better now that there are blue honorsets giving you a real good advantage over most people in battlegrounds, but that's it.
I rolled a pair of warriors on one server, had such a great start that a warlock there gave me five gold because he laughed at my guys who looked like hulk hogan. I think I might play them more. Might find people to play with, make new friends. Variety is the spice of life and there is but dust left in World of Warcrafts spice jar
What was the point of your post? You're bored but you keep playing because you are afraid of going behind.Quote:

QQ more imo.
I totally agree with quitting for awhile if you're that bored. I quit for well over a year and probably wouldn't have came back if I hadn't found out about multi boxing. Did I miss playing? Yeah. But did I miss the boredom? No way in hell. There were plenty of other things that grabbed my attention, and I got the the chance to catch up on some much needed reading. (Terry Goodkind? Meh...never again).
I say, if you're so worried that you're going to lose points instead of mindlessly treading along doing something that supposedly makes you bored, then there's something else that's wrong. That's a question only you can answer. I'm one of those people that is lucky enough to not get bored very often, but when I do I go find something else to do. Easy problem that has an easy fix imo.
I'd be emo if I wasn't dualboxing WoW for gaming. Until Warhammer Online multiboxing, the best thing a lot of us bored with WoW can do is to roll whatever faction, horde-alliance, we don't have a level 70 on, on another server to start from scratch.
It doesn't seem like many people really roleplay much on the server. I mainly rolled there because my rl friend plays there. He seems to be into the RP aspect more than me. If I'm going to RP I guess I need to think of a good background as to why I have 4 characters who look exactly like me following me around. I'll just say it's the paparazzi.Quote:

Playing on an RP server doesn't necesarily mean you RP. You do avoid a lot of the "lols" and "wtfnoobs" and if you enjoy a greater degree of immersion, its pretty cool to see people walking around in various outfits chatting in /say and not bitching about how billy took her doll or he's going to twist her head off. Its not like playing on an RP server makes you some sort of crazy yuppie looking for picnics in Goldshire and cybers in the Deeprun Tram.
"So, since you re-rolled on a RP-PVP server...do you actually roleplay? And...if so, with multiple characters?"
I've rp'd with 5 hunters before, and it can be pretty fun all things considered. I never used a direct follow command, I had them chain following each other so they moved in a line, pretended they were all brothers, gave each a different personality
It actually went down quite a hit, and I had a lot less "Omg reported!" than on normal realms, work that out ><
It does sound kinda fun to be honest. ^^
Id have to agree, I had a priest and warlock before I started multi-boxing. The lock and priest both had full S3, every piece, all the badge gear and such. Plus the lock had full t6, so I didn't have anything to do... Once your fully geared in WoW it can get rather boreing, thats why WoW makes you farm so much.
Then I started multi-boxing, and oddly enough am actually enjoying leveling.
i'd say re roll, or if you want a new game, I'd try CoD4 if you like FPS, C&C (3? The newest 1) if you like RTS. Also I hear the new vegas is good.
62.5 on my druid duo, got hit by "This is the same old crap" syndrome again, realizing what I had ahead of me. Now I have three mid 62s I don't feel for.
Maybe it would help if I wasn't in the worst battlegroup for horde in existance on European realms. Tried a mid day EOTS, alliance was full of level 69 twinks. Tried a mid day AV, did not see a single alliance that wasn't geared up in Season/honor gear and level 70. Horde of course wearing now't but greens. I think it would help too if the level 70s in my supposed "cool casual" guild cared about their non70s and helped them out, as it is I'd be lucky to get enough to get normal instance blues etc to get accepted into their "cool casual" karazhans. Then it would help if I felt for the pvp in the game which I feel less and less for day by day as I realize how bad they're breaking up the game because of arena imbalances, letting their workarounds and fixes affect the entire game. Then the millions of goldfarmer spams, whispers.
I'm going to have to struggle to get these guys to 70. And I wanted to PvP on them. What was I thinking. Battlegroup where horde wins one BG a day at level 70 not counting AVs which they win two a day tops, with 15-45 minute queues? My life currently is sitting here on heavy medication, with muscles too ill to walk, when you're in this condition you need something to do and kill time with, and Blizzard have turned WoW into something no longer fun. PvP is unwelcome to rerollers thanks to the way Arena works, PvE is hard to get into even in a guild that raids a lot, as with most guilds on my server as I found out, they expect you to gear yourself up in tenman epics before being taken places.
I think I'm going to see if my level 10 human warrior duo Hulkamaniac and Hulkamania on Karazhan-EU will make things more entertaining :/
What I'm trying to say is:
WoW is getting seriously old and busted. Half a year left until Warhammer Online. /wrists
Then you'll realize those same S3 tards, goldspammers, and idiots will be in Warhammer too, because they plague every game, and it's twice as bad in Warhammer because the graphics are just barely better but still very similar looking to WoW's(Most notably in the Goblins); you're gonna be in for WoW 2.0 pretty much, enjoy the same old stuff under a different name ;)
@ Peeps on RP Servers
I was going to roleplay with my 1 BE Priest, 2x Tauren Druid, 2x Tauren Shaman. The BE is female and the Tauren are male. I was going to make them her bodyguards but I wasn't sure if anyone else had ever roleplayed multiple characters. Granted, I've never roleplayed before but we'll see. Good to see others have tried it.
You're not thinking straight, you're thinking.. Richard Simmons non-straight. It is not World of Warcraft, it is a new game with new content - that borrows a bunch from it like every other game does, who cares about the looks - were there more players on the DaoC classic cluster I'd return, and this time since I will be gearing up since the start, I will happily become one of the S3 tards. Goldspammers should be less than what I saw in Hellgate London, and the endgame should not be what it is on most WoW servers and guilds I have seen - once maxed out and geared you're fine, between rolling a new character and that you're screwedQuote:

Shhh, let me blindly hate on Warhammer =( lol
I found like the three best pubbies on the realm, permagrouped, played all night, expd real fast, did the math on Lifebloom and decided that its overpoweredness will make me feel more interested in healing and pvp. So I think the solution is to do what every single raiding member in my guild has done - not kidding, every last one - roll a druid alt.
I played on a RP server for two years and participated in several roleplaying guilds. I never could get the whole thy, thou, and thines down to where I didn't sound like an idiot. (I beseech thee m'lord. Thou presence hast been called upon to quell the unrest of thine subjects.) That crap sounds good but I know it ain't right.Quote:

People that RP, I mean the folks whose sole reason to log in is to RP, are too busy roleplaying to level. I knew a woman on Earthen Ring whom when I met her was 19th lvl, and after about 18 months or so when I saw her again she was like 32nd lvl or something. They lose themselves into their characters. They typically do one or the other; level or roleplay. Most of the time they choose the latter, they'll roleplay the ENTIRE time they're logged in.
I roleplay my teams all the time and have created persona's for each of them. Gotta have one that is nice, one that is mean, and one that is just cool. One of my male toons is an asshat to my female toon and treats her like crap. Not only her thou. He treats everybody like crap. My other toons hate him. Hell, my friends hate him...except for one guy. He thinks that toon is misunderstood. ;)
That toon will straight up yell (all caps) at her for being either poor or when he dies because she didn't throw a heal his way. (meaning I messed up getting a heal off). She apologizes profusely and almost seems to cry when he doesn't stop yelling.
More often than not other people will come to her defense and she'll get some help doing a smackdown on him. She can hold her own when she wants to, trust me on that. :thumbsup:
She supposedly never has any money so she's always asking for cash. A couple of times he was so mean to her at AH that strangers came up and freely gave her gold! Another time someone whispered he had been reported for badly trashing her but I never heard from a GM so I don't think he actually created a ticket. (See how I speak about them in third person? That's something me and my therapist are currently working on.)
One woman, she has to be a real female, spits/slaps/rude whenever she sees my rude guy. They're typed so quickly that she has to have them macroed. (Oh, he's been rude to her too, but it was provoked since she jumped in a "conversation" she wasn't invited to.)
When I'm roleplaying, even thou my guys are always together, nobody picks up that I'm multiboxing. To the untrained eye it appears it's two people who are too lazy to control their characters that they /follow another character, but are "there" since they interact in whatever conversation that is happening.
My friends get a kick out of watching, and are getting more comfortable participating. Strangers walk up to see who is "putting their stuff out in the street" and sometimes will get caught up in a show that's designed solely to entertain them! I get a huge kick out it.
Yeah, I know all of this sounds very twisted and sick and borders on multiple personality syndrome or perhaps schizophrenia, but once you've actively roleplayed for an extended period of time you'll always do it in one form or another.
M'LORD.
/bow
PLEASE ACCEPT THY HUMBLEST APOLOGIES FOR YE WALL O' TEXT.
Dude have you ever like played WOW on WEEEEEEEEED.
Lol sorry couldnt resist throwing in a Half-Baked reference
I might have to join a RP server and just walk around IF and see what's it like... don't think I could ever get into it because I'm not social online... but might be worth checking out anyways. 8oQuote:

Their numbers are few, so you'd be sorely disappointed when you wouldn't see any on your walkabout through IF. Ask on the Wow forums, or ask in game if anyone knows of any RP'ers and someone will stick their hand up and say "Over here!"
They're extremely friendly and are always looking for a new recruit. You don't have to participate, but like anything else, you'll have more fun if you do.
If you want to watch RPers in action, create a toon on Alliance side Argent Dawn (US) and go to the Goldshire Inn. There always seems to be 20-30 RPers there during peak hours.
Though, once I am 70... *evil laugh* ... well, they'll see.
I've played on RP servers since launch, they're the best. One piece of advice I can give is to not get to flipped out by the 'thees and thous'. RP is what you make it. Take a minute to read the quest text... you rarely if ever see an NPC talk that way! If you spend too much time on your delivery you'll inevitably miss all the good moments.
I can tell you that playing FIVE characters opens up infinitely more rp possibilities. If only for the fact that random people you meet are BEGGING for a chance to interact with you, good or bad.
Have fun! =)
Go Running !
I roleplay with my four shaman and it is shitloads of fun. xD Typical sister like, always argueing with themselves. (I only roleplay when there's actually other roleplayers around tho. :P )Quote:

[align=left]RP is fun but it's not enforced on my server and the RP you find in Silvermoon is pretentious bullcrap from belves controlled by twelve year olds cybering, rarely anything worthwhile or good or improvised on the spot ever. I hit 70 on my moonkin duo which was my goal and decided to toss in the towel. The game is constructed in such a way that my only chance to get things done right now? Either find the few pubbies that are sane, or use three of the Stonehoof sisters. Level 70s in seemingly every guild doesn't care about helping out outside of a raid or heroic, people are expected to gear themselves up, goldspam gets worse, etc.
Here's for Warhammer Online, may you suck me dry. [/align]
I have been playing since december 2004 and have become bored more than once and just took a break each time only to find I wanted back in the game.
I hit 60 then took a 3 month break, I hit knight-captain and then took a break, I found a great 5man team and ran scholo and stratholme over and over till we could run with no wipes, then took a break, then TBC hit and I played till 70 and then tanked all the heroics and Kara I could stand then took a break.
Then decided arena is where the game is headed and decide to be the best I can be at arena. My best friend and I are playing 2v2 and went down to 1200 and then learned stuff I never knew and came quickly up to 1600. Its fun beating teams in full S3/BT gear while we are in just S1 and my friend is still wearing blues from 68. We cant wait to catch up with a current season gear set like all S4 when it comes and see how far we can climb.
I found multiboxing and now hooked again for a while. I so want to run 5shaman and just go play around in BG/arena.
I bet I will be taking a break soon only to come back.
I'm on a RP server because a friend was on there, and like 90% of them don't rp.
(Until recently).
Two of my guildies decided to get married. As Guild Master I was the one marrying them, but thought it would interesting to play it as a drunken priest, who hits on the bride and tries to dissuade her from marriage and run off with me.
There were a load of us there, and all sorts kicked off - great fun.
In cities and the like I'll RP if someone comes up to me (In fact I rp'ed with a draenei on my two box shamans).
I don't subscribe to this "Thee and thou" though. It's not medieval England, it's azeroth.
Thou dost protest too much methinks malarky.
Although i do try to hiss sibilantly on my undead lock (he's evil you know). or If i were on an alliance dwarf would try to do a bad scottish accent like shrek.
I only RP on my Lock, a lock has no choice but to be evil. I make sure that a lot of rabbits, dear, cows die as I run around - (note to self: create MWAHAHAHAHAHA macro)Quote:

I RP on Emerald Dream. Look up hot or hat and you should find me. It's a little different. My guild is Tyndari. Basically, the theme is that Tyndari is a blood elf family who's sole purpose is to enslave all other races. :)
The fun part though is I have macro's set up for chat delays (legit, non safe functions), so I run around with the characters talking amongst themselves. I'm the evil blood elf who controls a legion of undead. (Sounds like a death knight?)
The thing about RP-PVP servers is, it's still wow, you don't have to RP, but you can find people to RP with.
I'm planning on making awhole bunch of random evil macros for my DK >: )Quote:
