Okay, just for anyone having the same issue: logging in and out seems to work. It didn't work the first time for me when I logged off the the night, but trying again did the trick.
I think that is an exaggeration. In particular, I think the movie moves WAY TOO FAST, the scenes after the first couple are like, 30 seconds long, one after the other for quite a while.
But there's a lot to like. If you're a fan, it's worth seeing, I think. I love these iterations of all the orcs. They did something quite interesting with Thralll, I think. Doomhammer/Durotan bromance is pretty great.
Yeah I mentioned that in the WoW thread. Most negative reviews focus on that the story moves at a breakneck pace and if you aren't familiar with the world already you're going to spend a lot of time confused. There's apparently 40ish minutes of cut scenes that Duncan Jones wants to make in to an extended addition?
I'd go see it if I wasn't poor as dirt.
I actually thought they really spent an extraordinary amount of time outlining what was happening to ensure people weren't confused. That seems to be more the problem, the movie moves fast plot wise, and you haven't got enough time to spend with characters and really get to know them.
I logged back into Cho'Gall, apparently I still had a Tauren Paladin from my free trial on there. Sunk a couple hours into it just to see if I wanted to roll something else.
I'm level 11 now and I just finished up in Thunder Bluff, so I think it stuck.
If y'all need a (fairly inexperienced) tank, my character's name is Therum, and my Battletag is ThatJerkRMED#1682.
@Zenyatoo got me a Grove Warden and now my life is complete
I look forward to using the water bug mount always and never even seeing myself riding it
But for now! Man its a good looking mount
The moose can fly, though, so there's that, at least.
Also what's the weekend quest thing for WoW? The client isn't telling me and my account is inactive but I was considering shitting 47k to reactivate to sell a bunch of shit.
Nah it was definitely a lot of fun and they did a pretty amazing job with the effects and bringing the world to life but I dunno if I'd call it a good movie. As a warcraft fan it's worth seeing but there's at least a couple scenes where you'll roll your eyes.
It's not boring in the least. The visuals are phenomenal (even if the Orc garb is a little over the top at the times), and the action scenes are well-choreographed.
But yeah, I was with Rhylith on the eye-rolling at times. Fortunately, those parts that seemed shoe-horned were never delved into deeply, but that's also because nothing in the movie was delved into deeply.
Put your bar around the level of, say, The Mummy (the 1999 Brendan Fraser/Rachel Weiss romp), and you'll get exactly what you want.
E: Any hey, if I've sounded like a Debbie Downer about it based on what I've posted so far, I did not intend--I had a great time! My girlfriend, who had never played a Warcraft game in her life, had a blast, too. By all means, go see it!

Man, The Mummy 1999 was great!
Also it's Montina's favorite movie
all this movie stuff has had me remembering the story of the setting from (the retconned, expanded version of) WC1 up to Frozen Throne, and how much I love it
it works way better in broad strokes in an RTS than it does in an MMORPG

It's also not a truly fair comparison, because Warcraft takes itself quite seriously, where it seems like everyone involved with The Mummy was all about keeping their tongues firmly lodged in their cheeks so as to not spoil the fun
Disappointed to hear from a lot of sources that basically every scene in Warcraft is super short, though. I bet the longer director's cut will be pretty solid.
The 1999 Mummy movie was probably the first movie to do the schtick where people pretend to be zombies to not get eaten by zombies, and 17 year old me thought it was the funniest thing ever. I actually haven't seen the movie since then (half my life ago, fuck me) and it's on Netflix, so maybe...
So given current income opportunities, without 'playing' the AH which can generate ridiculous amounts, how hard is it to farm enough gold to buy time with each month?
If you're at max level, you can essentially turn your garrison into a money farm--only hire followers that have the gold-boost buff, get them to the requisite ilevel as to a reasonable mission-completion rate, rake in the money.
You can only hire one follower per week from the tavern, tho, so this can take some time to set up.

This is becoming nerfed once legion drops so I wouldnt consider it viable anymore unless you're already mostly set up.
Regarding farming money for tokenage. Usually you just do the cataclysm raids. If you're able to do them in 25H (Fairly simple for geared characters) you can get something like 6000-8000g a week from them.
That becomes 24-32k a month from what amounts to relatively little time spent each week. No longer enough to buy a token outright, but it'll definitely get you close.

3,000 gold in the bank
3DS: 2981-5304-3227
And it has a free month attached.
So I guess now I have no excuse not to play this game.

Weird, I got my tickets through Fandango and they gave me the code when I went in.
The only thing I missed out on was the drawing for Blizzcon tickets; apparently you have to buy through Regal and have a loyalty membership for that.
If it comes with one month, you'd just have to pay for the second month to qualify, right?
As a side note, does getting a WoW Token for gold count, or does the subscription have to be paid for with actual money?

They spend an awful lot of time together, that' for sure.

It was pretty awesome. I was surprised.

I'm ok with a not-good movie if its at least entertaining to look at

If not no sale
He's not drinking water but they do something like this with Medivh.
Mages can't cast Innervate, they totally didn't follow the game at all
Also Blink never got stuck on a leaf sticking two inches out of the ground, totally unrealistic
Sure. If I come across any I'll mail them to you
Medivh is clearly subclassed into Druid since he can turn into a bird and all.
I thought it was a great way to launch a franchise
lots of cool moments
