Resubbed for the first time in about a year and a half in hopes that the new PvE endgame will be more to my taste. Very excited to have the player back in the old world and back in their faction capitals. I've hated Dalaran ever since the WotLK beta and not having everyone sitting in the same capital might return some of the "Horde vs. Alliance" feeling the game has been missing since BC launched. Who knows? World pvp might even become a factor again.
Paid Race Change to the new class combos will be available as soon as they are available to create (with the release of 4.0.3a)
This is an update to the previous expected functioning of this service. We're in the process of ensuring everyone here has this latest updated information, just know that this is what's now accurate.

Looks like they flipped the script on this one, now race changes available tomorrow.

Just fired up the launcher for the first time in about a month or so. I was getting ready to resubscribe probably tomorrow after the patch and I was presented with this popup:
First time AVG has ever given me a warning concerning WoW and I've been playing since 2006.
Should I be concerned? Is this a false report from AVG or perhaps has one of my files been corrupted or something?
Account wise I use an authenticator and have never run into issues of security (knock on wood).

To resub or not to resub.. I guess I could finally finish leveling my 71 rogue to 80 and either have that as my main or my 80 priest for Cat.
I stopped playing right before ICC opened up. Is the DK still going to be a bastard class that can't tank or dps as well as the rest? That seemed to be my issue as it was my main in WoTLK

DK tanks are the best in the game right now. Their DPS is quite competitive as well.jlai said:
This is an amusing post on mmo-champion's forum:
"The Shattering killed my unused alts
The Cataclysm has taken many lives, including toons I never really found time for:
Blood Elf Mage: Struggled to learn her skills in the Barrens. Was swallowed up by the divide along with her training partners while hunting Kodo.
Tauren Warrior: Became a racing junkie and spent all his time in the Shimmering Flats. Deveolped a huge crush on Daisy the starter girl. Killed by the initial tidal wave in that region.
Night Elf Hunter: Efficient battleground assassin. Gave it up to shack with her Nelf boyfreind in Auberdine, until it was destroyed. Managed to rescue a few residents before getting caught in rapids and drowned. Side note: Her pet spider was found wandering the hills of Darkshore weeks later. Now lives a happy life in Moonglade."
All of mine were in inns for rest xp.

Numbers were pretty good across the board at the end of beta. Cata will probably launch in, by far, the best state of any WoW iteration, not surprised it was time for them to pull beta down. There's more work to do, but a lot of it is stuff that will probably have to be gleamed from live servers or mass PTR. PvP was getting better towards the end, except Mage horseshit, but PvP participation on the beta just wasn't very good.
I never saw any real problems with Ret though. Ret was always in the greater pool of things. The only thing I ever saw from Ret were massive, "REDESIGN THE ENTIRE CLASS" posts, which probably comes from being spoiled rotten from all of the reiteration Blizzard does on that class.
That's basically all you ever get out of the dipshit Paladin community though. No matter how good shit is, it's never good enough. If they have one single weakness, if they're complicated to play, if they're simple to play, whatever, it doesn't matter, they will make shit up and make a 50 page post about it asking for every single ability from every single class.
Next expansion, they'll give them a Charge clone, then they'll cry because it doesn't proc Heroism and freeze time.

there's been a ton of changes to the class since the time you raided and now. the biggest is there's a dedicated tanking tree, blood. can't be used as dps.jlai said:

Gah. I don't know what I should go check out for one last time tonight. I hate to use the time just running random WotLK dungeons. =/
This is a good indirect explanation of why The Shattering would happen 2 weeks earlier instead of 1.

blizz can't even do any crazy shit on the last night before the shattering? I'd love to see a Ragnaros type elemental just show up in Orgrimmar owning shit.

Oh yeah, i gotta put one of my alliance in the SW Park tonight, just to see where he ends up tomorrow. :lol
Meanwhile, Blizzard only put a "regular schelule" news in the logging screen. Not even bothering to warn people.
All the people that aren't following the game through forums or MMOChampion will have quite a surprise tomorrow.

From the outside looking in, it must seem very silly. It never occurred to me, but it makes me sad to think that my characters have seen the sun set on the last 5 years forever. It's hard to know how to feel, honestly. Should I park my character someplace of significance? Should I tend to all of my characters (including my first, a 60 Human Female Paladin who's RIGHT NOW wearing a mix of Lightforge and various 5-man pieces?) and make sure they're in an inn, out of some insane sense of respect?
Crazy to think on your alter egos in this way, I guess...
It's 10PM here. Servers go down in two hours. Fourteen hours later, from everything I've heard, it's a whole new game. Glad I managed to hook up with some GAFers before it happened so I have someone to chat with while I stroll through the ashes of MMO-memories. My home server is lonely.

Going to log out in Dalaran, then take the Warsong Hold zeppelin back to Orgrimmar. Should be a suitably epic journey back into the changed Azeroth.

I thought they went down at 3am PST? That's still 8ish hours from now.Retro said:

Don't worry about it, I got the same warning a few days ago. My assumption is has to do with AVG and not WoW, likely something they changed in AVG11. It hasn't had any adverse effects on the game from what I can tell. It should only ask you once, so it's no biggy

This we discussed in this thread recently.
There's other stuff. Another confirmation that you can race change into the new combos. Hybrids vs pure. etc.

This is going to be a very dumb question but is there anything special for me to do even though I'm only a level 6? If so, what and where? Or do you have to be a level 80+ to take part in whatever it is that everyone is so excited about?

Just wait until tomorrow and you'll get the same "OH SHIT" that everyone else does.

Yeah, I think a bunch of GAFers are rerolling Horde side on Area 52. The game is much better if you have others to play with, in fact you might never leave. Level 6 should only take you an hour max, so don't worry about losing it.

Yeah, I was figuring the time change the wrong way, like a moron.
Also, like a sentimental moron, I parked my first character in the Stormwind Cathedral like a total nub... even got out a nice looking outfit I had saved.
Damn, she had rockin' cleavage going on.

If you want to level quicker get the shoulders and chest for 20% to experience. But if you want to see what they did to the old world longer, just get the ax two hander that looks like the old arcanite reaper. They should have re itemize everything and you won't need any of the armor. Just get the weapon.
