| If things turns bad and WOW Taiwan | |
|
| | Tue 3 Nov 2009 - 18:00 # | Hello guys, if you are tired of Wow China and all these stories of ID cards, approvals etc and wanna see if the sky is better on Taiwan, please come discuss here. Juste before I've created a trial account(14days trial) on https://signup.wowtaiwan.com.tw/09Accountmgmt/CreateTrialAccount/index.asp Form is really simple to fill up with google translate and it seems that we can use our foreign IDs(passport) so feels good. Note that I strongly recommand to create a trial as soon as possible, caus if there's a blackout in China like last summer Wow Taiwan will lock the account creations to prevent their servers being overpopulated. I don't know how to update the account to a permanent one yet but credit wise you can buy game cards on chinese territory(FEDKA) and buy WOW taiwan credit on their website : http://www3.kaka01.com/Ykt/SearchProduct.asp?Keywords=%C4%A7%CA%DE%CA%C0%BD%E7 it cost 35RMB for 30hours of game, but 100RMB for a monthly abonnement, 300RMB for 3month, with unlimited hours. Right now patching my game to 3.2.2 and start a toon to test the ping and see how it looks. If more of you guys like to join come post here and we discuss about a destination and other details. It's not about definitly leaving Wow China for good, but \ it's always good to have a few options, and Taiwan allow us to play with our foreign passports + once 70 you gonna have the chance to immediatly take the fly for northrend | | |

and 召集令編號? cuz i cant see what novice number can be.... You don't need to fill these two fields. | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 3:46 # | Omg Resto!!! I was wondering if you were still alive, was sure you were stuck in Australia, man good to hear from you!
As far as wow China goes we are still waiting for Wotlk, and we have a new episod of Wow authorisation of dunno what, so some of us are tempted to start some rolls on Taiwan to test the conditions there.
Dunno how would be the ping from austratlia to mainland but I think it s much much better than playing from US or Europe, might be worth trying. WOTLK isn't out yet and there's some news saying that one of the office of the goverment didn't give netease the approval to run the game and now it's all very confusing, but people can play for free from now.
For your accounts no worries you have to merge them with a battlenet account, look at the stickies on the general forum. Note that you'll need to use the ID of your wife and use her real name when you enter the informations in the form.
We need a 3rd party program to run the game for now caus there was some compatibilities issues with the US and chinese versions so also look at the numerous guides in the forums.
Today I'm gonna start a toon on Taiwan servers, you can create a trial account for free, if you are interested we could meet there. I'm just trying to figure out where the foreigners on Taiwan are but most post on the forums about it are older than 1 or 2 years lol.
Hope to see you soon in game mate.
O and for Aion, that died. | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 4:03 # | Was looking at the forums and I think there's a good chance to find expat signs of life here - Quote :
Realm: 夜空之歌 (PvP) High Population (Consists of Taiwan and Hong Kong players as we share servers) Side: Horde (For the Horde!) For the others who commit the move, type /join english, and add Bolomas BE pally in your friend list. | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 4:11 # | What about the ping?
夜空之歌 (PvP) is your server?
I heard a while ago that you need a proxy to play there? Is that right?
How to make directly a real account? | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 4:51 # | Hey nous cannot test it now caus when I login It said my prepaid time is already used... seems their 14 days trial is a little bit bugged. I gonna try to recharge it with fedka and give you more info later. You can use the last foreign version 3.2.2 to connect on their servers so this is not a problem. I gonna talk more about ping and all once I get in but I don't think you need a proxy, ping should be ok account creation is here https://signup.wowtaiwan.com.tw/09Accountmgmt/CreateTrialAccount/index.asp , it says it s a trial but once you recharge it it will be upgraded as a permanent one. | | |
| | Da_Gus Corpse Posts : 6 Joined : 2009-11-03 | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 9:12 # | hey, what ID do we need to use? cause i used my passport number, and it says the length of the id is wrong, or sthg like that (<3 google translate-.-) | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 11:35 # | That's strange try to select 其他 on the option before.
Personnaly I'm a little stuck, I didn't find one of these famous cards, I'm sure other online payment webiste must offer the same service but I have to find it yet.
Trying to do it this week, but I'm done looking for today. | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 13:44 # | I need a little guide or something. I just can't understand the Google Translations... Like the first and second ones, what on earth do I put in there? | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 16:05 # | It's really easy to make wow.tw english, and generally all mainland china players use a proxy service to lower the ping, at peak hours it gets pretty bad.
银翼要塞 is my server | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 16:07 # | Well if no china wow. you know it going be serious hard even get on servers. remeber wating when chinawow was down. It was no joke.
i think more about changing games then go to a waiting period with tawain servers. | | |

| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 17:00 # | its about that time of year i get tired off mmo games. I think it time for a shooter game | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 17:12 # | Bah, let's not talk about switching games that fast alright? We've been here with WoW China for quite some time now! Let's not bail out unless it bails out on us alright?
*Pep talk ends* | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 17:14 # | There are a fair amount of oceanic guilds as well as ping reduction options for those who'd rather go to US servers over TW. I get 300-400 ping on average to west coast servers without any service lowering it. | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 17:35 # | But... You need to pay if you play on EU/US servers | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 17:58 # | Payment is roughly the same as the unlimited monthy fee of taiwan. | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 18:04 # | For me it would be only worth playing there if the ping is good(max 300 in a 10mans). Sad I cannot try it right now, cannot put credit in my account. How much does a proxy cost to get something good? Edit : talking about wow taiwan | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 18:24 # | US proxy is around 6-8$ a month, my GM said TW is less than 30 RMB a month, I'm setting mine up this week. He said all 8 of our guilds ToC raids require it, so it seems raiding guilds expect it as much as epic gems. | | |
| | | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 18:33 # | Start to feel like, no credit card=not gonna happen | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Wed 4 Nov 2009 - 18:37 # | Don't think a CC is needed... my girlfriend bought all my taiwan stuff on taobao. As for the proxy, I'll see, but for the most part wow.tw is fine without a proxy. | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 9:30 # | try to buy in taobao guys its called seasonal card (季卡) ... i bought mine for 206 rmb for 3 months unlimited hours. It differs though from one seller to another. A friend of mine bought the same card for 230 rmb.
i live in shanghai and play in 奈辛瓦里(na xin wa li) or Nessingwary in english with my fellow chinese colleagues and former guild in cn3.
I play without proxy, just using china telcom 2Mb connection and the ping is around 77-100ms. In Orgrimmar or any city i get 300ms max in a "rush hour".
its not so bad actually. A lots of new things tbh but we will catch up with it i am sure hehe.
c you guys there:D | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 9:41 # | Could you help someone like me set up a proxy? | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 9:53 # | Playah 100ms isn't bad at all, now most important to me would be to know the ping you have in a 10man or 25man raid withtout proxy, did you have the occasion to test it already?
Edit : is your server pve or pvp? ally or horde?

| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 11:46 # | i am afraid i dont have the answer yet bolo since i am not 80 yet. I am only 45 atm. But in 5men instances the ping is also okay.
All my friend in guild use proxy to play in TWOW, so i really dont have any accurate data for 10/25-men instances. | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 11:49 # | Oh and is the server a pvp server? Playing horde side? | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 11:58 # | yes bolo .. we are all hordes and the server is pvp. i am orc hunter again for the third time lol. I just love the class and the race:p | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 12:07 # | Mmm that seduce me.
I'm still considering a little caus I've spent so much time on my main already maxing profs secondary Profs and all, that's still a little heartbroken to leave everything behind, particulary if Wotflk arrives before the end of the year. Btw I saw the taobao cards you talking about, now I'm a noob at using taobao. Can you buy prepaid cards to recharge your taobao account? | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 12:30 # | Something bolomas just said was pure utopia. Are you able to find it ?
Hint : "if Wotflk arrives before the end of the year." | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 13:07 # | Do the bonusses count aswell for inviting a friend on taiwan servers? Last year or so I invited a friend on europe server to play wow with me we got like 3x normal xp so lvling was very easy and we could summon each other, i think we got 80 in play time 5 days or so ( the bonus stopped at 60 ). Just lvl'd my hunter and dont wanne do it all over again since i just did :p but with those bonusses it would be a lot less agony ! | | |
| | | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 14:24 # | Ok just created my Trail account just in case. Can anyone confirm how long it takes before the confirmation mail arrives?
And are the Us and taiwan version on the same patch 3.2.2.1025 or something like that ?
Is there no BNET in taiwan required ?
Best would be if recruit a friend is also available can someone confirm? | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Fri 6 Nov 2009 - 15:49 # | No recruit a friend from my research, can't use authenticators so really your account is damn vulnerable (no grid number thing either). there is no BNET in Taiwan.
Download the US version and update to the latest version. Then do the realmlist changes and add Chinese fonts. It's that easy. | | |

Because when i try to login, they said that i have to recharge my account! | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Sat 7 Nov 2009 - 6:34 # | I never got a trial, I had to charge it before I could play. /shrug | | |

| | | Sat 7 Nov 2009 - 6:56 # | halamadrid you can recharge 30 hours like a prepaid card, should watch on taobao. I think we can also buy prepaid cards in newspaper shops to recharge wow Taiwan, but right now I don't know which ones can do this. On fedka.cn the price for 30hours playtime would cost you a 35RMB prepaid card. | | |
| | halamadrid Defias Posts : 58 Joined : 2006-11-30 Location : beijing Character in WOW Server: 麦维影歌 Name: Eryx Guild: | Sat 7 Nov 2009 - 7:56 # | maybe i should go to bainaohui, the computer center of beijing to see if they are selling taiwan prepaid card, if not i will try taobao...hows the ping from beijing? | | |
| | igniter Dragonmaw Posts : 132 Joined : 2009-07-09 | Sat 7 Nov 2009 - 9:17 # | Pings are flaky, you must have a tunneling service for serious play. Right now I'm lagging out of badlands... at lunch time. Imagine later tonight | | |
| | riphisel Corpse Posts : 3 Joined : 2008-09-15 Character in WOW Server: 马多兰 Name: Cyllia Guild: Cow Eaters | Sat 5 Dec 2009 - 9:44 # | I had a buddy of mine pick me up a few cards from Taiwan. I can't charge my free trial until I enter in personal info, but it needs an address. How important is this? Can I put any address from the internet in there just to satisfy them (like a store address), or should I try and get my friend to let me use his family's address? | | |
