You have 8 character slots you know? You can still make an orc.

No, we are not a fansite. It can take up to 3 months to become one, and Blizzard is pretty strict in what they want. We are a guild website. We do not bring anything new to the game. No unique news, etc. If we did, it would all be orc related and we would need a separate site from the clan website. One that says it's a fansite. Then we would have to be approved by Blizzard to become an Official Blizzard Fansite.

There are two emails. One from the Roster Script, that gives you a random password, and one from these forums which says click a link to activate your account. You can login to the roster here: http://www.thehonorempire.org/roster/wow.php?act=login As to the other one, I do not know what password you used to sign up with. All of that information is sent to your email account. Make sure you check your junk mail because a lot of emails like hotmail and yahoo will filter just about anything. It should say from T.H.E. Community in the subject line.

That's because you did not click the link in the email that is sent to your email address to activate your account.

Start a new topic if you have questions about the orcish language.

If you received an email saying that your application has been approved. Then yes, you are in as a Peon, which is a 2 week recruitment phase. But you must be active during those two weeks. You can't sit idly by, twiddling your thumbs for two weeks and be expected to become a Gruntee. Every Gruntee here has done something worth while to get their position. And it’s the Gruntees, as well as at least one Grunt, that you have to prove yourself to in order to become a Gruntee.

It seems that Blizzard has sent some more official screenshots to fan sites. Check them out below! WarCraftWars.com http://www.thehonorempire.org/gallery/WoW/marine09'>

1. There are no tests to get into the clan. We base your application on your age, experience, and how well written the application is... There is a two week period as a Peon in the guild. In order to become a Gruntee you must have the approval of at least 2 other Gruntees and a Grunt or higher ranked Orc. Currently that is being done by the Warboss and Vuduboss, Grulg and Uglutz, aka Balandar and Martok. However, I encourage all current gruntees and grunts to make recommendations on peons they feel can become great orcs or if you are a troll/tauren, great guards. 2. The guild will be starting in the full version of the game. Since getting into beta will be pure luck, it is doubtful that either the Warboss or Vuduboss will be able to make the clan in beta. If they do however get into the game, they may test the guild functions to see if they will work with our current guild ranking system. When open beta comes out, then we most likely will be in the game.

No, only Korea and the USA. This has been posted by the blizz employees for months.

No. I hope they have this feature for guild warfare, but they have released next to nothing about PvP and guilds. Hopefully with the beta some information will be given out.

Will we be able to visit the old deep sea oil rigs and foundries that existed in WarCraft II? Even though it’s been well over 20 years since the time of WarCraft II, a vast array of historical sites can still be discovered. After so many years of war many of these places have become ruins. Some of the landmarks you might sight are ancient guard towers, abandoned oil refineries, ogre mounds etc. Can players visit the Outland? Players can visit the Outland once it becomes available. The Outland will become available through players summoning the Dark Portal. This will be a server-wide, world altering event. Once the portal is opened .. it will remain opened for good, allowing all players’ access to the Outland. Can we go to Quel'Thalas? Quel’Thalas will not initially be available however there are lands in place that border Quel’Thalas. What famous places can we expect to see? Some of the famous places that you can expect to see are Blackrock Spire where Lord Lothar was defeated, Mount Hyjal where the Burning Legion invaded the world and the Ruins of Lordaeron’s capital city where Prince Arthas murdered his father. Do High Elves still exist or are they all Blood Elves now? There are definitely still High Elves left in the world, although not many. Most of these are scattered along the borders of Quel’Thalas. It’s important to know that the transformation from High Elf to Blood Elf is not physica in nature but is instead an ideological change. While the majority High Elves made the cross over to become Blood Elves, there is a small handful of High Elves that hold true to their original identities. Including jewelry, will all equipped items be visible on our characters? Most equipped items will be visible. At this time however, jewelry can not be seen without viewing a player’s paper doll. Will the ammunition for ranged weapons have to be replaced? Yes, the ammunition used for ranged weapons will be consumed as you use it. Ammo is inexpensive and sold in stacks of 100. Will there be throwing weapons in the game and will these weapons be lost after they are thrown? Both throwing daggers and axes are currently available. Like ammunition, throwing weapons are consumed as they are used. Likewise, they are inexpensive and purchased in stacks of 100. Will there be more than one type of ammo for each ranged weapon? Yes. Ranged damage is calculated by both the damage done with the weapon and damage done with the ammunition. Our plan is to have a variety of ammo types available for each weapon. For example, Engineers have the ability to craft various qualities of bullets and many vendors sell ammo of varying grades as well. Do you need Alchemy and Herbalism to create poisons as a Rogue? The Rogue’s poison ability is learned directly from their trainers. Like a tradeskill, poisoning does use recipes to create its deadly poisons; however, it is not a tradeskill and is instead a rogue only ability. Alchemy will have no bearing on poisoning. A rogue might wish to explore Herbalism as some, but not all, of their recipes will require herbs. It’s also important to note that poison recipes will require a variety of ingredients which are bought from vendors, found on creature corpses and cultivated via the Herbalism skill. What is the difference between the Warlock spell “Find Herbs” and the “Herbalism” skill? Warlocks do not have a spell called “Find Herbs.” “Find Herbs” is a skill that comes as part of your apprenticeship in the field of Herbalism -- it’s used to … well … help you find herbs. I understand that Voidwalker pets lose life over time and Infernal pets are only brief summons. How long do they last? How often do they need to be resummoned? Neither the Voidwalker nor the Infernal lose health over time. Both will remain with the Warlock until killed, unsummoned or the Warlock dies/logs out of the game. Is the Imp still a useful pet to the Warlock at higher levels? The Imp will continue to be a strong pet through all of the Warlock’s life due to its keen buffing abilities. This is especially true in group play as the Imp will automatically buff all members of the party and continue to refresh these buffs when needed. Can we get an update/more information on racial benefits and abilities? The racial trait system is currently being reworked. No updates at this time. Will I be able to drop stuff on the ground so that someone else can pick it up? Items can not be dropped on the ground for others to pick up. Items can be destroyed, traded or placed in bags and banks. Are they still planning on eventually adding player housing? Housing is still planned for after ship and is in early design which basically means that it’s currently a concept, a concept that continues to change and be modified. When we have a better idea on the scope of the project, we can better determine when housing will be released. Will your mount appearances be customizable or will they all look alike? There will be many varieties of mounts to choose from. Shopping around isn’t a bad idea if you are trying to find one that looks a certain way. Do instanced dungeons automatically respawn after they are cleared out or does a new instance need to be entered to fight them again? This really depends on the dungeon. As an example, Wailing Caverns in the Barrens does not automatically respawn while Shadowfang Keep in Silverpine Forest is set to continually respawn as it is cleared. ~Kat

Don't forget to vote every month for our clan at the WoW top 200 site. http://www.gamesites200.com/wow/vote.php?id=126

Some have been playing it, do a search on the forums and you should be able to find some posts about it.

Be careful about that. The Elder shamans such as Uglutz still can get pretty mean when he wants to. The Warboss fuel's the clan's bloodlust. The Vuduboss temper's the clan's bloodlust. An example. Picture a large group of alliance members facing off against the clan. Grulg gathers his orcs and gets their bloodlust to soaring heights shouting about all the injustices caused by the alliance to our kind. He is just about to charge when Uglutz stops to speak with him. Of course they argue and shout at each other for a bit, the younger orcs squirming a bit watching their leaders discuss something important beyond their understanding. Uglutz then walks out front and start wriggling his fingers and mumbling strange sounding words. A bolt of pure white light flashes from his fingers, slamming into the alliance force. The white light bounces from one person to another. Grulg grins and watches the other orcs howl in glee and excitement at watching the carnage. Grulg orders the charge and two score orcs charge into battle howling. Uglutz grabs his weapon in one hand and charges in with Grulg. In the above Uglutz convinced Grulg that chain lighting would be just as fun to watch as charging in, plus it would weaken the lines of the alliance. Grulg agreed half heartedly. Of course, all the orcs just wanted to charge in and start the slaughter, but the Vuduboss temper’s that bloodlust. Grulg fuels it. Sometimes Uglutz will not be able to temper that bloodlust. Uglutz, at times, will charge in at Grulgs side clomping people, unable to control even his bloodlust. It all basically comes down to the fact that we are orcs. Not the carebare orcs of Thrall’s. But true bloodthirsty, battle hungry, howling orcs.

I sure do love to clomp undead. It's not as messy as squishing a regular human. Less change of clothes, you know? The smell is pretty bad though..

Heh, you are now in the members group. And most do hang around unless they completely leave the online gaming world, which is unlikely. Most of us are addicts. Especially those EQ guys and gals.

No Undead. I would have to talk to Uglutz and discuss it, but I don't see us writing up a story for an undead to be in the clan. The best you could do would be to play any horde race other than undead. Oh, We will not have trolls speaking with a Jamaican accent. It takes away from the fantasy world too much. Every time I see it I think of the real world, unlike orcish which is a fantasy language. Same as Elvish, etc. If you could choose which undead your character looked like, like an undead orc. Then we might be able to write something up. But only for you Something like an undead orc who doesn't know she is dead. Anyway, orcs are above any other race in the warcraft world. Why would you want to play a lowly undead? The common language of the horde is Orcish, the orcs are the ones to have the first major battles against the humans... the undead did not even come into play until a lot later in the history. Other than smelling like a skunk and having worms crawl out from innards, I see no appeal in playing an undead. And Vradish is right. Seems several members convinced an undead to play an orc >:]

A large orc wanders by the fire pit. "Skah!! Vradish!", Grulg shouts, "Lat hab tu kleen owt da ghassh pit nuw. Agh den lat kleen owt me bagronk!" Grulg walks off towards Uglutz's tent grumbling to himself about young orcs.

Yup, I am back. http://forums.thehonorempire.net/index....T&f=1&t=5069&s=

They all show up for me in both IE and Netscape, on both computers.

Okay, here is my vacation. More or less. http://www.pgoh.org/balandar/fl/

WoW will have a built in system for displaying character information through the blizzard website. I hope it will include information about active players. Then we can just boot people from the guild using that.

I would like them all to speak in orcish if possible and not in OOC. But if they must say "Mom's in a car wreck, have to go", I can understand. But "I need to take a smoke", punishment would be swift in coming.... (Me nub gruk wud lat blahn abowd, lat hab tu huld clowds? *clomps*).
