Glok'tur

Yes Welcome, though I'm late in saying so. =/ You'll get the hang of the language. I've said it before and I'll say it again; once you are in the game you will catch on quickly. And "dialects" will most likely develope on their own. Once you are in the mindset of slurred and broken, of "orcish" you will easily know what people are saying even if they spell or word it fairly differently. But for now, everyone is encouraged to stick to the basics. ~Glok

Yes, tradeskills will provide a lot of what we need. I also agree that "jobs" will fill themselves in over time. I like your suggestions Rhoach, and can see a few of those easily being implemented if not all. As has been stated, the question is still "What will the game mechanics be?" Once we know, then it will be easier to figure it out, but even then it is more likely that things will just fall into place. ~Glok'tur

Glok'tur was among a few of the clan elders, around a small campsite within the outpost when the horns had sounded. He quickly jumped to his feet and gathered his equipment. He was already wearing light leather armor, and he donned his shoulder guards for added protection. There was no time to return to his hut for better armor, so he headed for the outer fort walls, to inspect the situation. As he climbed the scaffolds he observed the frantic commotion; peons bringing ammunition for the watch towers, and other various supplies, higher ranking orcs organizing groups of warriors and preparing them for battle, trolls scaling the scaffolds along with him, throwing spears bundled upon their backs, tauren hoisting large defensive materials and structures around.. It was a sight to see. Reaching the top of the scaffold, Glok'tur looked out over the area, and could see the forming mass of the night elves marching orderly and steadily towards the outpost. There was even a fabled mountain giant among them, holding a massive uprooted tree as a club.. Glok'tur knew this battle could not possibly be won. He turned and shouted, "Ged a moov un id!" to a nearby group of peons, hurriedly reinforcing the nearest fort gate. His mind raced, the battle raging within him already as he fought his pride and extreme reluctance to even consider withdrawing to meet up with the reinforcements which he assumed had been sent for. He reminded himself that his people were now ravaged and far fewer in number thanks to the Burning Legion, which they were finally free of; perhaps it was best to withdraw and increase their chances of survival. There were atleast 200 horde members stationed at this outpost, and a 3rd of them were not orcs. He decided to make for the Orc Captain and suggest a withdrawal, though he was concerned that he may look weak in doing so. He hoped that through expressing his reasoning, the Captain would agree. Afterall, it was highly unlikely that Glok'tur was the only orc who began to think outside that which the Burning Legion had conformed them to, correct? He hoped so. (OOC: As is apparent, my story fits in somewhere before Surek's viewing of the burning outpost. Just trying to fill in here and there. )

Welcome! Make yourself at home. Everyone's anxious for WoW and doing their own thing to keep their minds off of it. But it's not totally dead here. *laugh* ~Glok'tur

Heh heh, now that would be something. An MMO that allows players to place self-designed structures in the gameworld, and claim the land they sit upon. *imagines...* ~Glok

Islam and Christianity have the same base, which is why they are similar. But the key beliefs are extremely different. It's hard to say Islam isn't bad of itself right now, because so many of the "officials" within it are supporting killing the infidels, and things that are jus plain wrong right now. But I don't know enough about it to say that it's "f***t up." However I don't need to know. I've already found the truth. ~Glok

It seems a lot of people are going to make shamans. I hope we have enough warriors. *grin*

Hope things settle down for ya soon! =) Atleast you're putting food on the table, and WoW in the future. =D ~Glok'tur

It's so true..

Thanks! I'm in no rush. =) ~Glok

That's a pretty bare lady.. Heh heh. It's a cool pic though! Serves her right for going out like that.. attractin' big orcs to take her home in pieces.

Wow, very nice pictures there. You should make me one! Been trying to find a picture for one of my freeform RP characters... It would be of a tall, broad paler elf with light brown hair, shoulder-length, with a sword similar to the War3 Frostmourne blade, jagged, crystal-like and glimmerring. The blade a dark metallic blue with hints of green within. I have always pictured him wearing black or grey-black studded leathers, with a large billowing black cloak. There's a challenge for ya! (IF you actually do that, I promise to grovel at your feet and give you credit for it always.. I wouldn't *dream* of removing your signature from the pic.) Haha... ~Glok

That game is waaaayy to anime for me. I admit seeing an "orc" female as shapely as theirs is interesting, but it totally ruins the roleplay aspect for me. That game doesn't feel fantasy to me, it feels goofy. ~Dav

Ug Kor! Me Glok'tur, uz shayr guud klompin' en fyuchur. *grins orcishly* ~Glok

He comes here while I wish I could go there. Heh heh. ~Glok

Kongradulashunz! Dat bubhosh!!! *grunts* ~Glok

Surek you serious?? Lucky bastage.. =( If you want 700KBytes per second here in the USA you have to pay for business-level DSL, or T1+ lines. (And that's like $500+ a month...) As for the system, I prefer AMD. But you have a *very* nice computer. =D ~Glok

It's all so exciting! I've been anticipating and keeping up-to-date at the only-wow site for a while now. Vradish, if they have an open beta, it will probably not be for a while. ~Glok

I've been... being bored wishing I could play a game, period. *sigh* Crappy computer... crappy dialup. I will have a 2nd phone line downstairs, so I can use my own computer(which is still crappy, but atleast plays games like CS and DAoC decently.). Of course, that's still dialup but it'll be near 56k, so I should get a 300-400 ping most of the time, which is good enough for MMORPGs. (This dialup is 38.6 because of old wiring.) ~Glok

Har! Welkum den! Guud lat am ash ub uz.

Actually, Only-Wow said anyone in the fansite's community could participate. I was under the impression there *might* be a few lucky Europeans in the US Beta, if they wanted to be. Though, it would be more laggy for them, heh heh. ~Dav

Yeah, but his disposition is a lot like Glok's, except Glok doesn't concern himself with humans. In actuality, I would prefer an RP orc guild that is more involved with humans, but that won't be possible in WoW due to the faction restrictions. ~Glok

Hey Dag, if you have any questions about the language, there is a section on the website, aswell as in "The Firepit" category of the forums. ~Glok

There will be instanced PvP arenas, is all we know. They are going to work more on PvP though, but right now they say WoW will be 90% PvE. ~Glok

Jamaican accents would be a little much, I agree. Though I think it would be cool to throw in a few of the War3 phrases. They kind of decide the lingo, War3 is fantasy, but it's got it's own very different culture, and I have grown to love it. Watcha be creepin'? *burps* He did it! - No HE did it! *farts* Weee did it. ~Glok >:L
