Just something to think about if you want to redo your talent points.
But maybe yours works, I set myself up to be great for duels and Battlegrounds when they come out. | I don't really group so the group aura isn't really useful to me. I've grouped twice, one at around level 35 and I grouped once at 49. The only mobs that I've found immune to Serpant Sting are Elementals, other then that they stick on everything, 77 dmg every 3 seconds is a nice bonus.
At 60 I may want to respec if I group more but as it stands right now unless I'm doing an instance groups only hinder me XP & loot wise.

Still well worth it. Wait time is only on the servers with a billion people...and downtime is usually in the middle of the night. If you're playing at 4am...you can't really blame Blizzard. It's still pretty new...
The fun is well worth $20 a month. It's only $20...

[edit] for those of you that want to buy the game, take a look at the WoW Forums before you decide to plunk down the $60 | ill renew when my 6 motnhs are up. and i think they just started last month cuz they gave me a few free days and i had a free month to begin with.
it's well worth it still
any new online game always has shitty servers for the first few months
remember diablo II? hahahaha. remember SWG? fuck man. of course they're gonna have problems when like over 200 000 people sign up over a period of one month and flood the servers.
plus down times are only like a few hours or a day. it's not like youre LOSING it all. they do give people free days to make up for it. and also u get the rest exp bar. i only play 2-3 times a week now. i let both my chars. rest then use the exp bar up in those 2-3 days a week.

The fun is well worth $20 a month. It's only $20... | NOT down at prime time? haha, it was down all sunday night, thursday it was down for 16hours, every tueday it goes down for "4 hours" but usally takes 6-8hours.
This is one of the worst launches in MMORPG histroy.
even penny arcade has had there say about this problem.
---------------------
In other news, we hereby revoke 2004 Game of the Year status for Blizzard's "World of Warcraft," effective immediately.
If you are familiar at all with the newspost, you know that it has been a spigot of almost unmitigated goodwill towards the title. We've been playing it for months in another form, and even chose to write thirteen comics for the guide. Understand that we don't need to take or even entertain projects if they are not utterly delicious, your readership of the site itself guarantees that. We took it because we loved the game and had faith that any hitches in the experience would be ground down before release. This has not been borne out.
I would not disagree with you if you said that the game was good - indeed, as delivered, I still maintain that in the Massive genre it provides the greatest reward for the least nuisance. It also succeeds in many ways corollary to that, but I've said plenty of things along those lines, and the puff piece phase is over - particularly with the European launch en route. Now is actually a good time to appraise their technology. It is, in a word, wanting.
I'm putting aside issues like class balance or Gamemaster abuse, because honestly those things are only a problem when the fucking server is up. They will no doubt be very interesting topics eventually, but it's actually four and five times a week at this point that I can't even log in to the game. It's not like I'm sitting here trying to connect at odd hours so I can catch them in something, either - this is in prime time, or on a weekend. The mail system works when it is good and ready. The servers themselves appear to have other things on their mind.
Every week, there is some new calamity that necessitates some huge response on their part, servers are coming down, but if you think that the servers coming back up again will represent an improvement in the basic functionality of the game you're mistaken. They took them down most of the day Thursday (and again for "emergency service" on Sunday), and when they came back up it should have been something supernatural but it was actually utterly imperceptible. It should have been like when the Genesis device hit and a lifeless rock became a fucking paradise. That didn't happen. So, if I say, as I'm about to, that their emergency service amounts to parlor tricks, what evidence can they give to the contrary? Because near as I can tell they've been doing "emergency service" since release, only they used to credit people's accounts for it.
If this happened in Galaxies, or Dark Age, or AO, of course it'd be everybody everywhere piling on. But it's Blizzard, and since they made a few good games years ago now they can do whatever the fuck they want to. Great policy, and it totally serves consumers. Good job. Where's Lum The Mad when you need him.
When a young person comes into a noticeable sum of money, it is often the case that strictures are placed on its expenditure. The thinking is that such a person will plow their inheritance in things that are critical to them at the time but do not represent a wise long-term investment, such as Sweet Tarts. A trust fund protects this amount and purifies its purpose. So it can be said for the coveted Game of the Year award - it was given too early, and they have squandered it. It is now withheld. It will be released only when they prove themselves worthy stewards of it.
(CW)TB out.
