Want to make a Rogue, I'm behind the curve

Hello all. I would like to start a Rogue and level up in Classic, with the intention of getting through all the raids in the end, catch up to get in AQ and then be ready for Naxx. I am generally off Wednesday-Saturday in the Americas EST. However, I would like a guild who raids late for my timezone or really early in the morning. Late being 1AM EST. I am open to either faction if the community is right at this point.

Basically looking for a home and people to play with who are active. Thanks for reading!

Your preferred time will probably be a problem. That’s too late for most NA servers and too early for most EU servers. Your best bet might be to focus on NA west coast. Good luck.

That is later than a vast majority of guilds will raid, but there is one guild that advertises 10:15 PST start time on grobbulus horde, I forget which guild it is, but any large west coast server should have a niche guild that caters toward late night people. My alliance server is east coast and has one too, but on an east coast server, their idea of late is 8 15 PST

Pick a PvE or RPPvE server and then just make the rogue. Every server will have a place for you.

But seriously, don’t go PvP. They’re cancerous and full of manchildren.

In what way do you mean Dreamsphere?

It is great time to start. Much gear is cheap. Phase 5 brings new drops to catch up. Tier 1 belt and bracer are 50 gold, blues are 8 gold.

Classic you can’t be late for. It’ll be this way forever. It’s the blizzard museum promise.

About PvP servers? Just consant greifing. LEvel 60’s running around STV killing level 30’s for hours. People waiting outside instances/flight paths for the sole purpose of dispelling world buffs. They’re just absolutely terrible servers filled with terrible people.

Try playing on a Wesocoast server or Oceanic server to counter your time difference.

If you are looking to PvP in the future, even TBC and don’t want to deal with a bunch of laggy players, then west coast is the most practical option.

I have two Alliance 60’s on a PvP server, and I’m leveling this guy on a separate PvP server now. I can honestly say this hasn’t been my experience at all.

Yeah I was thinking West Coast but just trying to make a solid choice, don’t want it to be crammed with people but also not dead. I’ve read some realm population reports but I’m not sure how much to rely on some of that information.

tbh i dont see a huge difference in pvp-pve as a rogue. We decide when we fight 9 times out of 10. i’d imagine you would find more individuals doing the same type of thing on a pve server though, leveling alts that is

Maybe it differs based on the server. My original toon was a level 40 something druid on Fearlina. Couldn’t quest in STV because level 60s just patrolled the zone killing anyone regardless of level. THey’d then camp your body and /laugh spam. Trade chat and LFG was people constantly talking about getting buffs purged or being unable to raid because the horde would camp outside of the MC portal.

I rolled on another PVP, can’t remember the name, and it wasn’t much different. I got to level 20 or so and was already hearing people complain about STV to i just went PvE.

i was one of those losers who got to 60 two weeks after too so i missed a fair bit of pvp on early phase 1

I haven’t gotten a character past lvl 23 because I keep rerolling to find something that clicks.

Part of the issue is that my favorite class, hunter, is considered “pretty okay” but my other favorite specs: elemental, balance, shadow and old school enhance are considered “don’t”.

So I don’t have many options.

Anyway when I make new characters I still see plenty of lowbies out and about and I still lfm see in chats. I’m on Mankirk and Bloodsail

Did you play in the original launch of WoW? STV has been the bane of many people on PvP realms. Has a history of being a brutal zone. Hillsbrad is probably up there. Great questing zone which is why that sucks but…I would avoid STV myself.

I’ve never experienced constant griefing, in my 16 years of playing WoW. I also leveled an Alliance character during Phase 2, in Classic on a Horde dominant PVP server.

Obviously, my experiences don’t speak for anybody else’s.

I’m sure the greifing isn’t on every PvP server, but there are youtubers making video’s about how bad it is. I guess blizzard even banned a guy who literally spends his day waiting at flightpaths to dispel world buffs.

I mean, someone waiting at a flightpath isn’t greifing, imo. Following a particular person constantly, is.

During phase 2, the warlock I was leveling with and I (a paladin) in STV were camped for about 30 minutes by two rogues and a priest who were about 3-5 levels higher than us, until we were able to kill them, and move on, but that’s PVP, not greifing.

You Horde on those realms? Mankrik is pretty Horde top heavy yeah?

Yes.

Mankrik is PvE, High pop (though not like Faerlina numbers) and extremely Horde dominant.

Bloodsail Buccaneers is RPPVE, medium pop, and very Alliance dominant.

The Bloodsail horde community is wee but it exists and is pretty tight knit.
