You're in China? In Europe, or anywhere else???
Come and say hi here!

Hi everyone!!!

To the boss Globuline, to the firstcomers and those you'll come!!

I'm Pouetpou, in China and am a French expat!
27 years old, I think I'll bend on WoW quite soon from China with a French downloaded version of the game.

What else, I live in the south of France, at Toulouse, the pink city...

Thank to Globuline who had the idea to create this forum! I hope the community will grow fast.

Anyway, welcome again everyone, even if we're only 3 right now...


French :
Bonjour à tous !

Merci à Globuline (la patronne) qui à eu l'idée de créer ce forum!
J'espère que la communauté va croître vitesse grand V.
En tout cas Bienvenu à tous encore une fois ! (même si on est que trois pour l’instant…)

Very well, my turn.
Lucille, 21 years old tomorrow ( fell free to wish me a hapy birthday ).
In France right now but I'm going on with my studies in England this September.

3 years of Chinese behind me, I work my Putonghua with WoW with my honey, Weirdal .

I love the demonists, It's quite my favourite class, although I like druids too. I prefer the gnomes, cute and small... Even if I get crushed al the time. But some day I'll reincarn myslef into a tauren! You'll see!!!!!

next...

Hi Everyone! And welcome to those who come to give us a small visit.
I'm Weirdal, Paladin level 24 (but its grows fast).
Right now I'm in France (Angoulême, La Rochelle or Saintes, depends of the weeks).
So as you can see, we have started up a smalll community of French WoW players.
We think the guild won't be only French (We won't go very far with only 4 players) but mainly constituated of foreign expats. The Chinese players are also welcome if they speak at least English (their Chinese skills could be precious for us).

As for my personal background, I have started WoW in China around June 2005. I have mainly tried the hunter, the mage and the paladin, so if you need help about these classes, you can ask me.

Appart from that, we want to warn those who'll use a non chinese version of the game: You won't be able to read the Chinese hanzi (which means the Chinese players' name and the chat).

What else... Don't hesitate to speak to your friends about this community. The more the merrier...

Oh yeah, we're also looking for a name for our future guild, so if you have any ideas... We mainly look for something that shows we are foreigners, and in English.

C U on 玛多兰 Ma duo lan

Yoyoyo!

Thanks to Globuline I could play from China Shanghai. She made a great tutorial at bonjourshanghai.com (a bit of publicity ).
Then, I successed in making them move to the Shanghai 1 server, and now we're 3 in this adventure...

As for me, I'm hunter... and mage for fun...

If you're in Shanghai, I can lend you my English WoW, it will spare you the 3 days DL....

See you ingame.......

I know you're all interested...

Hi everyone

My name is Thomas, I'm 24 and I have just finished my last year study placement in China and I'll stay to learn Chinese at Nanning University, in the Guanxi province.

I'm a beginner at WoW, it's been 3 days that I'm playing at the French version, but I can't see the Chinese characters when I want to change realm. For me no problem but fortunately my fiancee is Chinese, and I could never have created a Chinese account without her. Moreover I needed a Chinese ID number...

About the game I'm a paladin lvl 9 and I have troubles finding the quest because of my very bad orientation feeling. I also don't know all the shortcuts names so I may often ask you for help.

See you in WoW I hope!

Hi Thomas and Welcome among us! :cheers:

You say you have the FR version? Did you DL it or buy the game in France?

I'm playing with the English version, In french it should be a lot better...

MP me to tell me more about your version!!!

A big welcome (again) but it's always nice to see our forum growinf up !!

:pirat:

Thomas, you have to joign us on our realm, we'll give you a hand... Don't play alone by yourslef

Hello,

Sebastien, I'm French-speaking, between Paris and Shanghai, but still a little more at Paris. Right now I'm on WoW Europe, and I saw Globuline's post so I told myself why not trying in China? So I'm gonna buy what's needed, while I'm still in China.

Otherwise, more personal, I'm almost married with a Chinese girl who lives in Shanghai (from where my comings and goings). I'm gonna try to convert her to WOW ;p

I should come to WoW China when the PVE opens again and when I have Internet at my new flat.

That's all. See you!!!

I went shopping and I have found the DVD box at 10 rmb
And I bought 4 cards to start 2 accounts. 30 rmb cards.

For the Chinese vocabulary, I saw your list in the forum, it leaves to me to do the pinyin version to stop loosing mylself in this mess.

For the list, Don't Worry, it is already under update.

But you can add anything you need progressively. Like everybody by the way!!!

Hi everyone :)

Let me introduce myself: Louvreboite (you can call me Louvre).
Warrior 60 defence (300 alchimy, 300 Herboristery, 300 1st aid, 220 fishing, yup, fishing takes a long time to up! :p)
In my free time I also have a girl priest lvl 5 for disenchantment.

Me and my family are moving to Beijing in early September. It forced me to ask myself about my future in WoW (and in real life too...).

Right now I'm on French servers and am part of a really nice guild and raid. But with the time shift with France, I fear I might only become part of the landscape.. This is why I'm looking for a community in China and came here ^^.

I have 2 questions before starting with you wild raids at BWL like they say.


Has somebody already make his character migrate from a French/English server to a Chinese one?
How do the Chinese to write hanzi in the chat?

that's all folks. (May this community grow fast :)

see you

Hi and Welcome,
I don't think it's possible to transfer a character from a French realm to a Chinese one... You'll have to create your own again huhu!!!

Then, to write in hanzi in the chat, Globuline surely will answer that question, I only play in French, zagzag !

For now, I have 2 characters on 2 PVP servers in Shangai 1: realms :
雷霆之王LeiTing ZhiWang (Lightening Kings) and卡德罗斯 Ka DeLuoSi ( ???? ) with a human warlock 21 and a shaman orc 22 (I don't remember the rest). It's not been a while that I play now, but it's really easy.

If you choose a PVP, take 卡德罗斯, horde side ;-). I'm upping my shaman at the maximum! For the alliance take 雷霆之王, the warlock ain't really my favourite by I can play it quite well...

For the PVP, when it works again, we'll see ! Globuline and Weirdal are on MaDuoLan 玛多兰 with wild characters, as I heard ! (^,_,^)

c u

Hi Louvre and Welcome among us :cheers

To answer your questions, it appears that indeed you can't transfer your characters (too bad, with a lvl 60, you could have helped us a lot). But if you wanna try with your character you could from China, the thing is, with the internet quality over there, you'll ping so much that you actions won't be affected by the time shift ( it means you wanna do something at X hours in China, your friends will see it at X hours in France ). No, seriously, it should ping arounf 800 and 1000 (can you play like that???)

For the Chinese hanzi, we're still looking for the answer but it seems that you need a Chinese exploitation system (IME doesn't seem to be enough)

I myself have a question for you: for a warrior, 1st aid ok, fishing ok it's free, but alchi-herbo? aren't these for a mage?

HI there! A lvl 60 with us!!! But 220 fishing.......
, it still shocks me to see fishermen... I admit that when you have a time-play calculated on minutes, I don't wanna wait for the fishes to come...

And same as weirdal about alchi-herbo. :suspect:

As for the hanzi, I still wait for my guild to answer me, but they doesn't seem to know, still I'm sure there is a solutionn when I was playing in China, it was on Chinese computers, I have never written in Chinese even if the Chinese hanzi system was on.
And does it mean you would take the Chinese version? Soooo... You speak Chinese?

For the raids, I'm just waiting to be lvl 60! Someday...

Quote :

with wild characters as I heard ! (^,_,^)

I beg your pardon???? But...but... not at all.....

well for alchi-herbo, it's a youth mistake

For Chinese, except beer and thanks, I don't know a lot, so if I play directly in Chinese, it's gonna be hard for me

Anyway, the first thing i'm gonna do is to have an inernet access. By the way, how does it work to get internet in China? Is it ADSL with montly payment like in France ou something else? I suppose you need a Chinese bank account?

Maybe the answer should be in a new topic ( the question too by the way )

Not a bad idea.... alright.... moved...

Hi all!!!

Nice to see you here^^!
This is Sweetpois(mage lvl 23), new in this forum and haven't played WOW for a long time. I live in Shanghai now and play in MaDuoLan(玛多兰).
I began this game about a month ago. My boyfriend (lordyto) has been converted me to WoW. And I like this game!

See you in WoW!

Sweetpois^^
xx

Welcome again Sweetpois! It's nice to see an other girl here!!!!!
See you in game! ! !

Hey,

Welcome to all new members have fun...

P.S. I think it is useless to tranlate each post in English and French...keep the translation time to level Weirdal :D

I'm now runnin 'round as "Buglet". After playing the game for quite some time on US servers...I feel a bit fortunate in that I know a little bit about what's going on. I have another friend joining soon (never played, English speaker) that's gonna have a helluva time I think. Anyway, I've joined the foreign server, and you might see me around. Please say "Hi", not "helloooooo" if ya do

Cool, one more...

i'm Krougi

Hi everybody, my name is Ombre and i'm a french living in Shanghai since 5 months. I'm 29 years old. I play on shanghai serveur 1 with the chinese client and it's very difficult but very interesting .
I've played nearly two years when i was in France on Cho'Gall / guild Dark Tribes, so when i arrived in Shanghai i didn't want to forget WoW
A Chinese friend helped me and i'm now in Chinese WoW since 2 months.
I've got a rogue undead level 26.
Oh I forgot, I' m from Toulouse

FRANCAIS

Salut a tous, je m'appele Ombre et je suis un francais vivant a Shanghai depuis 5 mois. J'ai 29 ans. Je joue sur le serveur Shanghai 1 avec le client chinois, c'est tres complique mais tres interessant.
J'ai joue presque deux ans quand j etais en France sur le serveur Cho'gall
/ guilde Dark Tribes. Une fois arrive a shanghai je ne voulais pas oublier WoW. Un ami chinois m a aide a ouvrir mon compte et hop je suis dans wow chinois depuis 2 mois.
Je joue un rogue mort-vivant level 26.
Oh j'oubliais je viens de Toulouse

Hi Ombre!
First, you don't need to write in both languages , it was only to translate our French messages into English for the English members, so they could know too who we are (and as respect for the original messages, I kept the French part).

Then, great, an other Chinese client player!!!!!

And do you know your Chinese realm? It would be too much of a coincidence if it was 玛多兰... But now you know where we are, if you want to reroll, me and the GM Weirdal will be playing in less than an hour. Just /w us or give us your character name.

non je ne suis pas sur 玛多兰, je peux toujours faire un reroll pour venir taper la causette
Mais je ne joue pas trop donc tout remonter sur un autre serveur encore ....
enfin je viendrais vous voir promis

Hello there,

We're several French guys in Beijing, and some of us have been playing WoW for quite a long time now. It's such a shame we didn't find your site earlier... Now it seems quite constraining for us to change from the BJ server to your Shanghai's one...
Quick introduction: my name is Simon, 24, Master candidate at Tsinghua University (double degree with Ecole Centrale in France). Came in China in July 2005, blablabla...
My roommate and I both play French Version (who said "lazy"?? ). He plays a Priest lvl 32 (but he keeps getting on fairly quickly ^^), and i play a Paladin lvl 30 (try to stay on the horizon...). Some other friends join us from time to time (especially a Mage, which makes a pretty cool 3-members group ^^).

Well... maybe we'll join your group one day! Would be soooo great!!
Btw: excellente idée ce site! Vraiment dommage que nous soyons passés à côté!!

Baci,

Simon

Welcome there Cureuil

You are only lvl 30...it is not too late to change...after it will be harder for sure.

Here, we can already make 2 groups...and we are from lvl 14 to lvl 47. the 4th biggest level help the others to up quickly...we can do the same for ya

Welcome anytime...

a plus

Hi everyone
I have finally managed to join 玛多兰, paladin lvl 6 nammed ThOmAx. But I still don't know hot to do to talk to you or join the guild. I'm still very new in the communication in WoW as I never had anyone to talk to lol. I hope you will get in touch with me soon, if we could meet at a certain time on the realm it would be nice. This way, I'm sure I will find you!

See you

Hi everybody,

I just arrived in Beijing three weeks ago and now I am happy to have found this page

well, I am Matthias from Austria, studying at BLCU, at the moment I have a lvl 24 hunter on the European servers (my first one, I started playing just in August). I am thinking about creating a priest/cleric here in China.

I managed to create an account at 9cheng BUT I cannot find a CD key here... the only thing I got is a fake chinese WOW version without CD keys (I am a beginner at Chinese...)

--> every help is very welcome!!

a bientot,
Matthias

Matthias! Hope you can enjoy your time with us!

If you don't have the Cd key in your game, that's normal!!! It's not a fake version (well, where did you buy it?). We were also confused at first, but the thing is, you have to buy the CD Key. As I said in the topic to help you subscribe an account, you need a reload card which ALSO is your CD Key. Then, all the other reload cards you'll buy will just be for realoading the account.

If you still have trouble, you know were to find us!

And BLCU is a quite good university as I heard!!! And you're going to play in chinese even though you're a beginner? We'll help you find your way through this nightmare / hell / great time of fun!

Welcome again!!!

PS: A PRIEST!!!!! AT LAST!!!!

oh, so there is no "real" cd key like in the European version... the search continues.

The game I bought at Zhongguancun for 14 快, and there is so many fake things there - you never know - well, I was just curious to see if it works (I never tried it though because there was no CD key . I will continue using the German version.

Now I know one thing of BLCU: it's damn hard (and that's the good thing about it, though I am quite lazy, so we will see how much time I can spend on playing).

Yes, I'll try the priest

hehe! Got my new headphones there for twice your game . Could be a fake... But it means you didn't get the beautiful box with the stickers in it.

And about the german version... Do you still have some names in English, or is it completely translated like the Spanish version?

By the way, you know where to buy the card, don't you?

ooohhh, no stickers , well, seems I have to live with it... lol

hmm... I think they translated quite some names into German (like "Dunkelküste" = "dark coast"??? if you play the elves), and some they kept - I don't know other versions however.

For the card: I tried at one internet café but they did not have any there, do you perhaps have a special hint???

Easy: there are many newspaper kiosks all over the cities (2 at Zhongguangcun for instance). Once there you can ask them a moshoushijie ka （魔兽世界 卡）. 30 kuais 1.

Take at least 2 for a start. If you have managed do get an account at 9cheng, I think you'll be fine entering the cd key.

Ok, my turn ^^

This little community seems to be growing fast presently! I will introduce myself a bit to help you to keep up with all these new names...

I'm a french one, studying in Beijing thanks to an exchange program with my French university, and I'm the roommate of the "Cureuil", another newcomer... (Yeah, yeah, I know...it's a zoo here... ^^ )

I found your MaDuoLan realm... you now can find a "Mercurochrom" player... The problem is that my connection on that realm is really ...wicked... (With a latency upper than 8000ms at 2am, is it playable??)
For the moment we are 4 French playing at "Beijing 2", on the ZhuZaiZhiJian (主宰之剑) realm (PvP), If some are interested, dont hesitate to call for Aerith or Beldarane! O, and we already have a Priest lvl 33 here ^^ No, no...don't be jealous =)

That's all folk,
See you soon in WoW... this website...
*sigh*

8OOO ping???????
Not possible... Even from England and France we don't have that much ping. I think your connexion has a problem.
And, you've created "Mercurochrom" but you're not gona play it? With a name like this, was he priest???

And, can I cry cause you're not going to play it?

Well... I'm playing from the campus of my university, and the internet connexion is strongly related to the number of person connected... and when you are living in a campus of 30 000 souls... well...
But still, I don't understand... When I have no more than 20 ping at "Beijing 2", I have this horrible 8000 ping at "Shanghai 1"...
怎么办 ???

Please, tell me that I just made a little mistake, and that in this realmlist.wtf file, you don't put "set realmlist cn1.grunt.wowchina.com" but another stuff...

So, I'm just waiting for you to make me happy... ^^... make me hear it !!
... and don't cry yet... =)

I've just talk to the guys ingame and... It's probably the university connexion. But do you also play at home? Or is this your home connexion? Kazuki plays from shenzhen with a ping of about a 1000 (which is playable), but thomax from nanning has about 80 ping I think.

And what about the realmlist cn1.grunt.wowchina.com thing? Do you think it could change something? cn1 if shanghai 1 I think, so I guess you can't change it..

yes, because i always have 10~50 ms...

I'm about 2 hours south of Shangai, and my ping rates vary from 25-100 most of the time. I'd guess your Uni connection would be the culprit...as there are probably too many machines sharing it.

Actually, I just started playing today. I was planning to join the guangdong group (server 4) but I am not sure anymore since I found out that the ping is so high (700+).

I don't know what the ping would be like if I play on MaDuoLan. Maybe a Beijing player on MaDuoLan can tell me what the ping is like there? I prefer low ping (<150). I'm getting like 15ms ping on server 6

I also know that there is a small group in Beijing 2 but I prefer to be with a bigger community if possible. Let's all move to Beijing server!!

+1, this guy
Sorry panda, the law of the crowd...
And about the ping, depends if you are on a university connection (not going to mention anybody here) or not (I would like to mention somebody but I don't remember who it was...)... But it is pretty low as far as I remember.

And, why does everybody keep telling us to change realm?????

Well... what can I say ?!
I would do the same if I could ... ^^

... but you still can come a bit and discover the delight of the PvP realms with us
MaDuoLan is a PvE one...

I am not on University connection. In fact I'm using the connection from my work place and it's super fast. Ultimately, I would really aprreciate it if someone could lend me his/her account so I can check the ping. Somehow I doubt that will happen..

By the way, I was from a PvP realm (Nerzhul) which is one of the top pvp realm in NA. Not sure if I can get used to PvE.

Last thing, where is this server 7 located? If it is anywhere close to Beijing, I think we should all start fresh there. It will be a good experience. ^^

My MSN is sumofsupa@hotmail.com Add me if you want to chat!

Euh... if you check this forum a little deeper, you'll see the time that it took to this little group to be all together on MaDuoLan...
Don't you think that it could be frustrating / annoying / bothersome ... not very kind for them to reroll again... ?! And for what ?! ...

Beware of "Mademoiselle l'Admine"... she has beheaded a lot of people for less than what you wrote....

And for you to check the ping with another account... well... i agree with you... I don't think it will happen... ^^

But, welcome anyway !!

I was just joking about changing realm....

The truth is no matter what server you move to, there will be some people who will suffer the high latency, since everyone is from different location. But hey, we can all dream right?

Any Beijinger with hand on experience on what the ping is like on MaDuoLan?? (Besides LePanda. Sorry dude )

well, the ping is changing quite often with my connection, but it's most of the time like between 700 and 1000ms (on saturday afternoon/evening worse)

sorry, I think I have to add that I have connection at university...
