2 mins till the world implodes
I'm not sure whether I'll roll a Male or Female Goblin Hunter, so I grabbed both "Howitzer" and "Hackwrench" on my main server. The first would have pets named after military vehicles (A Bear named Panzer, for example) while the second would probably have pets named after characters from the awesome cartoons Disney used to make when I was a wee lad. I figure since I'll be going Engineering that last name is fitting :lol.
I'm still shocked that the name "Starkweather" is available on most servers. Got an Undead Rogue I'm rolling with my brother (when he can find the time to play) and I was surprised nobody had taken that.
Anyways, good luck at all the Midnight launches and such. I digitally downloaded but I'm not saying up until 3 AM to play. I'll definitely be sucked in tomorrow though.

Outlands goes by REALLY quickly so it's not so bad.
I got burned out on my new alt after doing like 5 quests in northrend :lol
I was surprised at some of the names that I secured for my goblin/worgen alts...
Fotm wasn't even taken.

Petition a GM. They often will if the character doesn't show up on Armory.Rokam said:

Are any of the guild achievements retroactive? I'm probably going to work on those pretty hard while getting up all my toons to 80

My account was deactivated for 2 years and everything is as I left it. They only keep active characters in the armoury but they are never deleted unless you delete them.

What's the best way to get my paladin's healing set up to snuff for leveling dungeons?
I'd jump right in with instances (I don't like soloing, even new zones, it's just not fun for me), but since I just dinged to 80 last week and am only around ilvl 210, I don't know if that is smart.
I would also love to tank, but I think that will be more of a stretch than healing with my gear. :lol

I didn't even think about leveling through heroics...lmao.DeathNote said:
I wonder if I get all the ICC 5 man stuff, I can then jump into Cata 5 man and just not have to do any soloing.

As Notworksafe said, petition a GM. At the very least, it can't hurt to try. I'm not sure if there's any clear guidelines by which they will give a name to you, but I would imagine that they have a certain level of account inactivity that has to be met before it can be considered.
That's how I got the name "Howitzer", since I like the idea of a little green guy running around with a huge gun.
I'm sure there's a ton of great names that inactive dickholes are squatting on, so it never hurts to try. I just wouldn't do it a lot.

Logged in, learnt flying, EPIC. Goto hyjal via quest on dragon, land and die instantly to a 20K crit from an angry guard, then the game locks up.
Ah... Memories..... :lol

Yeah just set that up and made a macro to target the flight trainer, so much easier now.DeathNote said:
So while us Americans have to wait, lets share some launch day stories! Back when BC was released we had one of the worst ice storms here, and Gamestop still decided to have a midnight release. My nephew and I packed my car full of blankets (heater didn't work). We had a lot of fun driving the normally 20 minute drive, which became about an hour. The line was ridiculous luckily the store was inside of a mall. And there was somebody randomly dressed as Darth Vader who the employees constantly made fun of, was the only midnight launch I went to but it was an enjoyable time. Looking back it was really stupid to go out and drive during that shit.

Ya, I'm sure they will. The problem that I'm suspecting is that even if I do decide to quest, which I'd prefer not to, I'll need to pick up the dps plate rewards in order to progress in the content, not the healing plate--because I certainly won't be questing as holy.DeathNote said:
"Level 80 or higher players get 10% of normal experience for killing Lich King creatures.
"
Looks like if any people were planning to grind instances or Lich King mobs while they wait for the first quest hub in each leveling zone to thin out are out of luck.
Never heard of this as a plan.

Well, that sucks. I will probably just keep leveling my hunter then. He's 77, so I will have pretty smooth sailing to get him to 80 ... then I'll have 3 80s to choose from.DeathNote said:
Ok... you can get a full set of greens in the starter zone andhave an average item level of 272.
There are also greens that are 289, 318.
Assuming this is accurate:
You should be able to make two sets of green, healing and dps, and do all normal instances and gear up both specs to do heroics.
All you need to do is level in the new zones mang.

In today's edition of Mistakes in Quest Text, we highlight the Defias Brotherhood questline in Dustwallow. This questline is riddled with clunky descriptions and redacted threats since all of the premises of the questline have been unmade: You are meant to deliver to Jaina the dire news that the Defias have taken a hand in holding Varian Wrynn hostage, and that even more dire, the malefactor in this plot is Lady Prestor, advisor to Anduin Wrynn, and ONYXIA IN DISGUISE!!!
Well...
Varian Wrynn is no longer captured but busy modeling for statues in Stormwind between bouts of fury and his scheduled afternoon orc-smashing. Lady Prestor is no longer advising Anduin, because Onyxia is no longer Lady Prestor, because Onyxia is fucking DEAD. And the Defias have been all but wiped out by SI:7 and some dog-men. The Defias in Dustwallow are just the last to hear the news.
This leads to awkward missions, such as delivering an URGENT MESSAGE from Jaina to Varian informing him that... oh, you're alive. And you were held hostage, but you aren't now. But we know who did it! It was Onyxia! Who you already killed... And the Defias! Aha! Varian responds to this stunning news with his customary fury and vows to destroy the dastardly Defias, who nevertheless persist in wandering aimlessly on a handful of islands off Dustwallow.
But the best part is the trip back to Theramore, given to you free-of-charge at the King's expense through a custom portal by Archmage Malin. When redeeming your One (1) Free Portal you explain that you are working under orders from Lord Bolvar! The Lich King himself commands you! What a sudden unexpected twist!
