[QUOTE=Skammer] I’m still planning to do an Undead Priest, unless it looks like we’re going to have too many healers and not enough DPSers? [/QUOTE] Go shadow then. Shadow priests are generally more sought after than holy priests at higher levels. ---

[QUOTE=Vihaga] That works well for some things; my current guild has a semi-official enchanter and jewelcrafter. For things like tailoring and blacksmithing, though, a lot of the good items require a specialization and are BoP. [/QUOTE] Not only that, but it’s better to have the crafting professions shared, so that one person doesn’t have all the rare patterns. It’s generally a bad idea to have one person be the main _anything_ as if they vanish for a while, or straight out quit, you’re hosed. ---

ok here’s my list: the 3 sister bloodelfs - Cliodhna/priest, Thvia/warlock, Visaria/mage Orc hunter - Niobrara Undead Priest - Mullo I’ll probably play the hunter the most. ---

[QUOTE=Pleonast] Forgot to answer. Cairne is a new server, so transfers are disabled for something like six months. Important Question: what’s our policy for guild invites? Should we restrict to Dopers? Allow family? Personally, I’m fine with Doper family, but I’d rather not allow other non-Dopers in. Keep it in the Cecil family, since that’s the founding point of the guild. [/QUOTE] I vote family and close personal (read: real life) friends, though we may want a screening process for the latter. [QUOTE=Pleonast] Once you’re on Cairne, type /join smdb to enter our chat channel. Introduce yourself with your SDMB name, so we know who you are. Someone will send you an invite. I’ve started two characters, an Orc Shaman with skinning and leather-working, and Tauren Druid with skinning and herbalism. Once I get my leather supply together, I can make leather armor for anyone who’d like it. If we have any Alchemists, I’ll send my herbs to you. No charge for guildies, but in-kind trades are much appreciated. Our class balance is looking good so far. Amazingly, no Hunters yet. I highly recommend the class to anyone new to the game. [/QUOTE] I have a belf hunter named Ophielenis for alting (I don’t think my druid will be much needed, though I may level him just to have a good gatherer). ---

Chiela, tauren druid. Tailoring, and I can make linen bags. If you want a bag, send me 6 scraps of linen. ---

Okay, I got started last night - Kene, Undead Priest. Got to lvl 7 in a little over two hours, so not too bad. I found out that starting a new character on a new server is challenging, because you’ve got 50 lvl 1-2 players trying to kill the same mobs and complete the same quests in the starting area. But once I got out into the world it was better. I’ve got tailoring/enchanting, so I’ll let you know when I can start making bags. In the meantime if anyone needs a linen shirt… ---

Hmm, should I resubscribe? I am mulling it over now. The reason I bailed the first time was specifically because I didn’t feel like I had anyone to play with. Even on “teh internets” I’ve always had trouble introducing myself to people. ---

Being new to WOW, I’m not really finding a Horde race/class I want to play yet. I’m on a PvP server to play with my son, but I’m not enjoying the PvP aspect. For the SDMB guild I’m looking for a less complex class than I’ve played in past games, and I’m not very twitch. Any suggestions? Otherwise I was wondering what PvE server some of you folks are on. I’m going to make a Draenai Paladin. Thanks. And I still don’t know what Burning Dog refers to. ~ Clueless ---

Hi, just spotted this thread. I’m assuming that the new guild isn’t all filled in yet. 😃 I’ve actually started a couple of Horde characters, but without a guild lost interest fairly quickly. I’ve been fairly busy leveling up my Alliance level 60 elemental shaman, but if you can put up with my irregular schedule (sometimes playing all day for days on end, and other times not at all for a few weeks) then I’d like to join. I’ll probably start another shaman (I \<3 hybrid classes), no idea of race yet. My name, like all of my toons, will have “Risha” in it somewhere. I’ll give you guys a shout sometime in the next few days once I’ve created her.
