I appreciate people trying to help me figure this out. I really do.<br /><br /> I know this computer handles everything I ask it to do without issue, even WoW. Despite it being so old, the graphics end of it is actually doing very well.<br /><br /> I talked to a few people offline, who I didn't know played WoW but now I do, and it seems it's not ready for Heath Stone. However, they believe it's okay for everything before it. So I should be okay for a while. This gives me time to save up for a better computer that will handle my music and video entertainment, my websites work, writing, etc, and WoW.<br /><br /> My biggest concern at this point was that they were going to do something and I was going to lose what I already had, but the people I talked to offline said they don't believe that is the case. They think I just won't be able to play Hearth Stone until I get a better computer. So I'm guessing a newer, better all purpose type of deal would work well for me.<br /><br /> Thank you again for everything.<br /> Deanna</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40963.20&return_msg=40963.20" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40963.20"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40963_21"></a><div class="message" id="message_40963_21"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: DeannaG (CYBATRON)<span class="message_time"> 5 Mar 2014 20:52</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: koswix <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 5 Mar 2014 21:48"></span></span> <span class="message_count">21 of 34</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.21">40963.21</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.16">40963.16</a></div> <div class="message_body"> How do I find out what my power stuff is on this machine?</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40963.21&return_msg=40963.20" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40963.21"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40963_22"></a><div class="message" id="message_40963_22"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: DeannaG (CYBATRON)<span class="message_time"> 5 Mar 2014 21:08</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: af (CAER) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 5 Mar 2014 22:29"></span></span> <span class="message_count">22 of 34</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.22">40963.22</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.19">40963.19</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Well, so far I've got up to Cataclysm. My gnome is only in the low 60s. So I don't think I've nearly gotten through what I've bought yet, plus I have to keep going back through some sections for stuff I somehow missed and gathering herbs for potions.<br /><br /> Of course I'd probably be further if the people with the skulls on their bars would stop popping into places, chasing down my little gnome warlock and killing her. lol I seem to have a gift for running into what I think might be horde raid parties, and they don't like me. lol<br /><br /> If my system will hang on for a while, it'll give me some time to try and get the money together to get a newer one. At one point I was drooling over Alienware, but my financial situation changed. Until it changes for the better, I'd say they're out of reach.<br /><br /> I'm assuming a gaming computer would also do other stuff. Like my music and video entertainment, websites work, writing, etc. I need a system that will handle WoW, but also do other things too. If a gaming computer won't, then it wouldn't work for me.<br /><br /> I need something as all purpose as I can get it. I'm glad to hear the system I was looking at it might do the trick. When it comes to hardware I know extremely little and find it extremely confusing most of the time.<br /><br /> Thanks for the input. It's appreciated.<br /> Deanna</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40963.22&return_msg=40963.20" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40963.22"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40963_23"></a><div class="message" id="message_40963_23"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: af (CAER)<span class="message_time"> 5 Mar 2014 22:30</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: DeannaG (CYBATRON) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 6 Mar 2014 02:31"></span></span> <span class="message_count">23 of 34</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.23">40963.23</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.20#a40963_22" target="_self">40963.22</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Eek, you're playing on a PvP server?

The only issues I'm having are with the characters with the skulls. I don't know what Pixillian ever did to them, but they sure don't seem to like her. lol<br /><br /> Most of the time I'm just doing on my own stuff. Which is cool, because I can go at my own pace. I get hit with a lot of please join our guild, but I decline them. I haven't heard much good about guilds. A lot of nitpicking and clicky behavior, especially over things like schedules. As for the invites popping up during combat, if they can't be polite enough to wait until something isn't trying to kill her, I don't even read them. lol<br /><br /> I think the server I'm on is Sen'Jen. It was the first one at the top of the list when I first logged on, and it said Normal and PvE. My character is a gnome warlock named Pixillian. Sometimes I think I should have picked something with longer legs, but I do have to admit, since she learned how to fly, I'm saving a fortune in gryphon fees. lol</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40963.24&return_msg=40963.20" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40963.24"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40963_25"></a><div class="message" id="message_40963_25"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: af (CAER)<span class="message_time"> 6 Mar 2014 09:27</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: DeannaG (CYBATRON) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 6 Mar 2014 19:09"></span></span> <span class="message_count">25 of 34</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.25">40963.25</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.20#a40963_24" target="_self">40963.24</a></div> <div class="message_body"> The skulls don't necessarily mean 'bad', it just means that thing is more than 10 levels higher than you. Possibly the PvP people are showing up on your server because of this cross-realm stuff where certain areas are merged between servers. If you're on a PvE server then you shouldn't be attackable unless you actively engage with them, i.e. deliberately hit them. You can see if you're PvP flagged by the little Alliance shield icon near your character's health bar/portrait.<br /><br /> I'd definitely recommend joining a guild, but generally avoid the ones that just spam invites out to anyone. Sometimes you get lucky (I did, once), but usually it's best to ask around, look on the WoW forums at the guild recruitment pages. There's guilds for every kind of player <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span> If you were in the EU you'd probably fit into the guild I'm in <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span> FWIW, there's an option somewhere in the Interface Options to disable guild invites.<br /><br /> What spec's your warlock? I levelled <a href="http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/shadowsong/Caenogh/">mine</a> as Destruction, which is fun, but I recently tried Demonology and that's fun too, turning into a giant demon every now and then and zapping everything <span class="emoticon e_grin" title=":D"><span class="e__">:D</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40963.25&return_msg=40963.20" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40963.25"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40963_26"></a><div class="message" id="message_40963_26"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: DeannaG (CYBATRON)<span class="message_time"> 6 Mar 2014 19:09</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: af (CAER) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 6 Mar 2014 19:40"></span></span> <span class="message_count">26 of 34</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.26">40963.26</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40963.20#a40963_25" target="_self">40963.25</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I chose destruction.

So hopefully they'll stop popping up while I'm in the middle of a mess and trying to get out alive. lo<br /><br /> If I'm hitting the skull people, it's not deliberate. Believe me. I have noticed my void walker seems to have a mind of his own sometimes and I have to try to reign the bugger in or end up in a fight. He's wandered too close to something more than once. I turn to avoid and he doesn't turn fast enough, then I'm in it. I think the butthead is doing it deliberately. lol<br /><br /> The imp and fel hound I like. The seductress I'd rather dump for something else.
