Yes, that makes me remember the morning I got up really early to play in Zangarmarsh so the PVPers would still be asleep. I was in the inn and saw out the door a beautiful golden flying mount.

I said to my Son, "You've got to see this griffon hovering in the doorway." Son said, "That's a mount but don't worry, they won't kill you in the city."

2 seconds later I was dead in a heap--guards came running but the guy was too high for them. I waited awhile, then went running out to go quest in another area---Nope, he was patrolling the bridge.

So I logged and loaded a different toon in a different area I hope he waited a good long time

Looney, you can also let me know as well. My primary server is Burning Blade, and my character is Kailexx.

If anyone on BB needs help with quests or even a dungeon run, I'd be happy to oblige.

Thanks H4--Asha is always looking for someone who wants to run Heroics. His 80 is a Warlock and she is pretty deadly. Her name is Moonfayde.

I have Owlheart, Owlhawk, and Owlstryke on BB

Last night I was playing my rogue who has a lockpicking skill of 248. A player asked me to unlock a box with a lvl 125 skill. He opened up his trade window, place the box in the do not trade slot and when I tried to open it I could not get it to work. Now I'll admit that this trade window does frustrate me at times. It seems to be a simple thing to do, but it never works right for me. Maybe someone here can give me some ideas on how to open a lockbox in the trade window. I was clicking on my lockpick icon then trying to open the box by clicking on it, so what was I doing wrong.

Lindy, were you Right Clicking on the box?

Yep, I never did that except for maybe once, and it was on mine, but you usually have to right click it.

I was trying both ways and anything else I could think of. Oh well, maybe another time it will work.

Thanks.

Awww Lindy, sorry it didn't work for you

Edit: Lindy, what server are you on?

Hey All:

I haven't been to Gameboomers in about, oh, 2-1'2 years, mainly because I've been playing Wow. It's a wonderful game. I have three 80s now that are dual specced: holy/shadow priest; affliction/destro warlock and feral/restro druid. Got lots of other characters waiting in the wings.

I pretty much play at least 6 hours a day, so if any of you have any questions I can help with let me know, or I can ask some of my guild members. I'm on the Sisters of Elune server right now.

Oh, I started out here a couple years ago, I think as jmoorg. Hello to all my old friends. Nickie! I see you're still here.

JeanK

Jean, you found us before I found you! So glad to have another WoWer here.

Do you have a favorite of your toons? Which class are you eager to play next?

We have toons on Draka and Burning Blade--Draka for hubby and I (PVE) and BB for the kids (drat that PVP and being oneshotted)

Hi Looney:

My favorites are my healers. My priest is really well geared, but I just dual specced my druid so I'm learning on her. It's an altogether different style of healing. I've got a 63 rogue, 67 mage and a 22 shaman sitting waiting for me too, so I'll probably do one of those next.

I love PVE, and am absolutely lousy at pvp. lol What levels are you?

Lets see--I have a 70 Mage, a 58 Death Knight, a 27 Druid, a 49 Hunter, and a 5 Druid.

The first 3 are on the PVP because that is where my boys play and the other 2 are on PVE because I hate PVP. My life's goal is to get all my BB toons to 80 so people will leave me along

Of course, I do keep a list of names that I forward to son to go on a Kill on Sight list of those folks who camp me.

The idea was that we would always be playing as a big group on the PVP but it has not worked out that way. I much prefer the PVE. I loved my druid so much that I made a new one on the PVE to play with when I was tired of getting ganked.

I'm going to dual her--Balance and Resto just because I love the Moonkin and the Tree

I really want to do a shaman and a rogue but I want to get some of the ones I havee 80'd before I start any more.

Did you do any of the Fire Festival achievements?

Looney, I'm on Blade's Edge.

JeanK, since you have a lvl 63 Rogue, maybe you can give me some hints on how to open a locked box in the trade window?

Hi L4L!
Well, I've gone as far as I can with Pirates of the Caribbean Disney game and there's no new content, so since I already have WoW on a disc, though it's not the most recent release, I would like to try to get into it again. I only like PvE not PvP, but don't know how or where to start. I LOVE that type of MMORPG if it's well moderated and not full of griefers. Can you help me?
Let me know what to do and when and I will do it. I would really appreciate your or soot or Asha's help (or all 3)!
Thanks so much!

Andrea

Hi all:

Lindy, I havent' played my rogue in a while but will go back and check on lockbox. I'm pretty sure the person who wants you to open in puts in in their "will not be traded" box. You leave it there, right click on your lockpick stuff and then on the box. When it says it's opened click on trade.

I'll go back and check and let you know exactly.

Ok, I checked my rogue and I was right. Right click on your lockpicking icon and then on the box you want opened. If it's not opening maybe you haven't leveled the skill high enough for it?
You can talk to the rogue trainer and they will tell you where to find boxes to open. Or you can spam trade chat and say you are opening boxes to level your lock picking and will do it for free. Check back with your trainer, I think each time your toon levels, and you'll have the ability to go up 5 more points.

Hope this helps!

Edited to say: Looney, nope didn't do the Fire Festival quests but I did do Ahune with some people that needed help and got the little Scorchling pet.

Ahhh Jean, I wanted that scorchling and we did Ahune a couple of times, but it never dropped for any of us. Did you do it on Heroic?

No, believe it or not it wasn't on heroic. We did it 5 times, once for each of us, and it wouldn't have let us on heroic. I was really shocked that I got it.

The other day I went through with another group and we ran it 5 times and nothing good dropped except for the frost cloaks.

I'm so glad you got it. That will be my goal for next year

The instance was bugged the 2 times I did it. It would not allow us to summon Ahune more than once even though we all had the quest.

@ luv2travel specifically: The first thing you should probably do is open up a trial account at this page. Before doing that, however, I'm assuming the disc you mentioned is just the basic game, which is fine for the trial. You'll want to go ahead and install that and patch it up as far as it will go (basically run the shortcut it puts on your desktop after installation, the rest is automated but will take awhile. Lots of patches). As of July 7th, that should be 3.1.XXXX. You can download the trial client, but if you decide you like the game then you'll have to uninstall it later and installing the full game from the get-go will save you some time if you decide to upgrade.


After installation is complete and you've registered your trial, you can upgrade to a full account for $20 and purchase the two expansion packs, The Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich king here and here, respectively.


Of course, you can play the the game with just the basic game, TBC, or all three expansion packs. However, to play Wrath of the Lich King you must have The Burning Crusade installed, as that's the order Blizzard released them in.


Anyway, good luck to you and I hope you enjoy your stay in Azeroth.

lindy did you ever get your lockbox problem solved?

I have started the tiresome Sons of Holdir rep for my restro druid. Ugh. This is the third toon I've done this on and it doesn't get any easier. Anyway, I'm having to play her feral spec to get through it since it would be too hard restro. Do any of you feral druids out there have a favorite rotation for kitty form? I got myself to level 80 but haven't really seriously played the kitty form except for quests, so appreciate any advice. I don't see very many level 80 kitties on my server right now to ask.

JeanK, I haven't had a chance to open anyone else's locked boxes. I wrote down your directions in case it happens. Thank you.

My druid is feral combat. I have 41 points in feral and now will go into resto for 16 points then back to feral for the remaining.
I can't wait untill the new patch comes out so we can change the look of the cat form. I hardly ever play in bear form.

H4! I very much appreciate the info!

Andrea

Hi
I'm new to WoW, I'm a Blood Elf Hunter level 7 and I'm playing
with my good friend.
I was wondering if anyone knows how you get the Imp?
when my friend created his Blood Elf hunter he got his Imp but
when I created my Blood Elf Hunter female I never got one? why is that?
Can anyone please tell me how to get an Imp?
AWESOME game I love it!!!!!!

Hey L4L How's it going! what level are you on?
this game is sooooo great!!! YeeHaH!!! Does the Perbear play? lol
Thank you



Doc

Karen, how ya feeling?

Hunters don't get imps--they get pets but not until level 10, and then you do a series of small quests and get your first pet (which you can change at will though stabling them gets expensive.)

Warlocks have imps from the first, so is it possible your friend is a warlock and just had a word mix up? I do it all the time

I have a 70 mage, a 50 hunter, a 1 shaman, an 8 druid, and a 27 druid. I love my hunter, but I love all my characters.

What kind of pet will you get do you think?

PerBear loves the game. I put my toon on autorun and then he makes her jump all over the place. Since that one is a blood elf, she has lots of cute twirls when she jumps.
