How did you pick your realm?

I am wondering how players decide which realm to roll their toons on?

Do you pick your realm based on playstyle, by that I mean, do you chose a realm based on it being a PvP, PvE or RP environment?

Or do you pick based on its population? Maybe you are swayed by auction house prices? Perhaps you chose your realm because your IRL friends all play on it?

How do you know if the realm will be right for you? Did you look on the official WoW forums for information before making your choice?

I have now played on several realms. My first ever toons were on the Alliance side of Hellfire. Then I moved a few to Chamber of Aspects when FCM opened up, but at the time, CoA was a horrible realm to play on due to suffering from horrendous server lag. I then played on the Horde side of Magtheridon, which is now down to a very low population and I do not recommend that realm to anyone!

After some forum trolling I found my new home, Ragnaros. Its a PvP realm that seems fairly well balanced at the moment. I was lucky to find a guild with excellent raiding progression and lots of friendly members.

So, I’m curious, how did you find a home for your toons?

4,3,2,1 movie review

So, I watched 4,3,2,1 last night. Noel Clarke wrote and co-directed this movie with Mark Davis and it stars Emma Roberts, Tamsin Egerton, Ophelia Lovibond and Shanika Warren-Markland as 4 friends that find themselves mixed up in a diamond theft.

The film is fun in parts but overlong, it could have been at least 15 minutes shorter and not suffered. Even a cameo from Silent Bob himself (Kevin Smith for the uninformed) didn’t manage to raise this movie to greater heights. The girls acting isn’t the best and I think they were cast based on looks alone. Especially so for Miss Egerton who is pure eye candy to the point of distraction.

Stick with Kidulthood and Adulthood if you want to see Noel Clarke at his best

I’m giving this a 6 out of 10
