whose gonna go on retail?

whose gonna go on retail?

i have never payed for playing so i will never play p2p servers.... this is just a game, whats the point to play on?!

I'm definitely not going to retail. It just seems when I pay to play I'm obligated to put more time in so I won't feel like I am wasting money, instead of playing just for fun.

Also WoW addiction isn't quite as harmless when it takes the money you would normaly use on bills, food, or other more important things.

If you can efford paying retail, real life obligation goes first! We all understand this.

Me & Arky or going to buy time cards tonight.

I'd go there too, but i got problems with my debet card... it seems they accept only credit cards... ??

I'm going for retail in 4 hours ^^
First time ever :O

Yay! When you will know the server your at.. Tell Arky on msn i'm sure he will be happy

Those who go on retail, go on Mug'Thol alliance side. I wont play right now because im i have a lack of money i just got back my car from the garage.

i mean i have money....its just that i dont wanna pay just to play with my friends.

I'm going to pass on retail, money isn't an issue considering I easily spent far more than WoW's monthly fee on Toxic via donations. Retail WoW just never managed to capture me.

Assuming Toxic stays down I'll probably just wait for Aion to be released.

Me, Arky & Sorey are on Blackrock Horde side..

Arky - oxarkyxo
Adel - Xianita
Sorey - Celaron

If any of you decided to join us.. /w

Great that u are playing on retail gz, but i can't i don't have any bank cards, and my parents won't pay for the game, sorry ;]

Don't worry groomaz.

We'll be alive and kicking some private server soon ^^

I kinda did the 10 day trial but nah i don't think i will go p2p in the near future...my family is in a financial crisis,my coworker got fired today (we were a team of 2 designers now I have to do all the work) along with a bunch of other people.I gotta watch every penny in the next 2-3 months.

There are other nice MMORPGS that are free to play so I'll try one of these until a new wow private server spawns my attention...they can't replace wow but seem nice enough to give a shot...

I was considering retail wow but I have no real desire to buy the game and all the accompanying expansions.

I think I will wait for Aion as my next p2p game.

I thought you could download all the game/expansions free

You can but I'm 99% sure you have to purchase them all first and then pay a monthly fee for retail.

I don't really intend to go buy classic, TBC and WTLK when Aion is coming closer and closer.

Ok, so I am new to the whole private and retail servers. I never thought there was a choice. I am on a Blackrock realm, on a retail server. I really like this guild and am thinking about putting in my app, but how many of you are actually on the retail side so we can play...or is the private server just a mirror of the retail and you deal with either donations or basicly play for free but we could still technically play as a guild? am I understanding this correctly? can someone please explain this in more detail. . .

And yes Cynic you are right, you would have to buy and install all three. if not, then when your char hits 60 you wont lvl anymore, same for 70 if you don't buy WotLK. disregard this post if you haev already found out this info. But I was just trying to help!

Well, basicaly everyone in use to play on Toxic-WoW Private server.. but few months later the server got shutdown by blizz...

So a few of us joined the retail and decided to re-make !

The guild kinda split up.. few joined another private server 'Apex' .. clone of toxic...

from wikipedia.

Server emulator is a term that is used to refer to an internet server that mimics the behavior of another server that is usually more well known. This is implemented through cloning or reverse engineering of the original server. Other synonyms include server reimplementation, server engine recreation, or server-side emulation.

The term is widely used to describe reimplementation of MMORPG game servers, typically unauthorized clones of proprietary commercial software by a third party. Technically, a server emulator does not emulate by the traditional definition, which would permit software from one hardware platform to run on a different one; it is more similar to a terminal emulator.

You actually need to buy the game to play on private server.. also play for free..donate if you want to..Private server are not legal.. and really not the same as retail.. At least with retail everything works.. no bugs/crash ..ect..

Thanks Adelila for the quick response. It makes more sense, and after I read about it earlier I researched it and came up with the same thing. Glad you guys (and girls lol) decided to come to Blackrock!
