i'm going troll mage.. horde rule I was going to go ice but I've changed my mind - Fire with a few arcane spells (like mana shield, polymorph, blink) thrown in for fun
I'll post what server I'm on in a few minutes - once these files are downloaded i'll start installing it and have a shower while it's doing that. Took bloody ages on my other PC.
edit: PvE means player vs enviroment, which is basically just you vs the monsters and NPCs.

Yeah I have a spare account too... I wasn't sure if that BLIZRD OPEN BETA thing was the key or not, so I was expecting them to email me it. WHen they didn't I thought it had broken and so I created another account :/ Oh well, I'll keep it in case my brother/rich wants to play and didn't manage to get an account.. if not, theres an account up for auction. NM gold only plzMy poor boyfriend spent like 48 hours downloading the game to find out his computer is evil and won't play it. Guess his 3d render-er or something isn't up to date. So now he has an account and the game but it's useless to him.
hehe, jk, message me if you want the account, and i'll see if neither rich/my brother want it, and if so you can have it.

And I might even be ready to play. Yey me
So now I do this annoying thing, where I ask for help ^^
Okay... I know theres a way to do this somehow, because I read it in the FAQ... however I've looked for info on the website and I even read the manual but I can't work out how to play the game in a window (or have the choice to switch between fullscreen and a window)
Normally I'd play fullscreen anyway, but on certain nights (tonight being one of them) that isn't feasable as I need to be able to see the Windows clock- I've been set on "last second" Ebay duty by my mum and it would really help if I had the clock in an obvious place... like onscreen
(Unlike a watch that I wouldn't look at. I've already hunted round the house for non-plug-inable clocks that I can stick right by my screen, but not found any so far >_< It seems our entire house is digital clocks )
Anyone able to help me?

I hope to but it all comes down to my finances. If I do it probably won't be immediately after release sadly. I'll just have to play like crazy for the next week or so, however long open beta lasts.Who is gonna play when retail comes out?
I know i am

Level 12 troll mage For profession I'm going enchanting and possible alchemy, but I'm not sure on the alchemy part yet.
Have the nightmist timer set on for every 5 min then just alt+tab out and check, that is if the nm timer command makes a sound. /shrug
lol, I don't know about other people, but for me I can guarantee that I wouldn't hear it over the screams of the thunderlizards
Oh btw mark, you can (it seems) go both fire and ice, providing you have enough money. I think the only difference being the 'mages talents' (skills) that you get at level 10, and a point in each level after that. So you get a limit of 50 points but theres 49 fire ones or something like that, so I think that's how they are limiting it. But yeah, providing you have enough cash you can have all the spells I think...
my strategy is:
fireball, fireball, fireball, frost nova, move back a bit, arcane missiles (instant cast, 25 sec cooldown - around that anyway), fire blast (instant cast, 8 sec cool down) walk in and bash it with my over powered staff killing it without being hit. That takes about 1/3 of my mana and it takes about 30 seconds to regen it all, so it's kinda easy to train.. but you just need a lot of xp yo actually level.
If I get the chance to i'll post a few screenshots of the spirit world/orgrimmar/when i'm on wind riders and stuff.

Some people seem to complain about lag at times, but tbh I haven't really noticed any. It can sometimes take a second or so to accept a quest, or to load up the shop menu, but I don't really mind that.
A few screenshots:
That's the 'sprit world' that you are in when your dead. You have to run back to your corpse to respawn, but you get increased movement speed, can walk on water and don't take falling damage (because you're already dead lol)
Wind rider going from 'The Crossroads' to 'Orgrimmar'... see that sexy troll in the middle? That's me
This is a larger version of that sexy troll (it's also the account manager bit)
Side entrance to the city Orgrimmar.
Fried lizard, anyone?
View of Orgrimmar from the front.
I'll try to post some screenshots of spell effects later, but it get's a bit jerky when I hit the print screen button, so it's hard to catch the brief images.

Unfortunately there is a slight level difference between us, which makes grouping kind of tricky hehe. I did also create a tauren warrior... but I reached level 2 with that before it got boring loll. it just doesn't as fun as my level 16 troll mage is :/
Any updates on how other people are doing?

I think I'm going to try to steer towards a Paladin with auras that help the party members take a lot less damage. The Warriors/Roges and Mages/Warlocks can worry about dealing damage.
