There's a difference between waiting until max level and waiting for a content patch.
Just saying.
Yeah. Like it or not, this is a totally different approach to flying in WoD. This is no flying for 5 months, or longer if they don't add it for 6.1.

So I was considering getting back into this game but as it has been a VERY long time since I played, I have plenty of questions. My last expansion was TBC so would I need to purchase all prior expansions? I notice I am on "Starter Edition" and when I click upgrade it gives me a $20 option as well as a $30 option that includes MoP. Does that mean those options simply give me access to all prior expansion content?
Also I noticed all my characters have been deleted. My Battle.net account has never been hacked and despite my long absence I see no reason they should be gone. Should I open a ticket or was there a wipe at some point?
Finally, is there still a monthly fee? If yes, how much?

The only expansion you would have to purchase right now is Mists of Pandaria. They just folded every expansion up to Cataclysm into the base game and that should go for previous accounts as well.
As for deleted characters, since you are using the Starter Edition it has created a new WoW account inside your Battle.net account. Thus what you're seeing isn't your actual WoW account and you'd have to resub in order to log into it.
Yes, the monthly fee is still tied to the game at $15/month.
Thanks for the response!
Also how come it lets me into the game without paying the monthly fee? Do they have like a 30 day "please come back" trial or something?

I edited my previous post. I glossed over the Starter Edition part of your post. That would be why because the Starter Edition is basically an unlimited trial account.
I believe you can play for free up to level 20? Could be wrong about that, but you can technically get into the game without a sub.
Edit: beaten

It's still a major issue. On my old main's server, I can't level toons on it well because of constantly getting ganked by horde. I had a friend on Sargeras invite me to a group so I can level on his server instead. I went 85-90 while on Sargeras (a server dominated by alliance) and saw maybe 2 horde. With CRZ it should be more balanced, but it wasn't. It's basically the same thing with my rogue. My rogue is horde on Kil'jaeden, a server dominated by horde. From 85-90 I again only saw 2-3 alliance the whole time, something that shouldn't be happening with CRZ's.
Mine :
Wanted it simple and clean (oh baaaaby...don't go)
I don't like how most UIs cover half the screen. I like to see pandaria.
Buffs appear above my name, debuffs under it. Basic stuff like that.

Anyone know what pieces of armor the the challenge mode procs are tied too? Are do you need the whole set to get the procs? I like to mix and match but I'm thinking of resubbing to get the hunter and maybe pally sets before they're removed.
Pandaria isn't CRZ by default, the only people not connected to your realm that you'll see are people that've been invited.

They're tied to pieces of gear (typically shoulders) afaik. You don't need the whole set active to see the proc effects.
It was a nightmare, but in a good way. The zone was dangerous and scary, and I think that's probably what they intended.
As I've mentioned before: I willingly did not pick up my flying ability in Pandaria until I'd Loremastered everywhere, and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. I suspect Blizzard will cave at some point, but I'm completely open to no-flying-in-WoD-full-stop if they choose to do so.
Lack of flying in Isle of Thunder and Timeless Isle strike me as promising starts, anyhow.

Oh cheers, that's great news.
Now to finish pandaria leveling my paladin for the sole reason of getting the challenge mode set.

^Is that xperl?
What guides/compositions are you all running for CMs? Looking into that as the next thing to tackle as I finish my cloak soon.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I honestly don't know about guides. Two of my buddies have been doing all the leg-work on that and then just telling the rest of us the important bits for each individual run, like when to invis pot, which boss to lust on, etc.
Our comp is monk tank, pally healer, frost mage, destro lock (me), and rogue.
looks like shadow unit frames.

Why does he wear the mask!?
If I was to preorder from https://www.g2a.com/world-of-warcra...d-key-preorder-global.html?___store=englishus would i get my 90 boost and would it work on an eu account?

Yes, but two things: You won't get the key (and thus 90 boost) until right before the game launches, and that link is a referral. If you DO buy it from the site, go to it manually via google unless you actually know the person who provided that link and you want to give them referral credit.

Ah I'll just get it direct from Blizz for £35

Some info on what they will have ready in their booth at PAX East 2014:
The intro experience ought to be in Tanaan Jungle, of which there is currently no gamplay footage.

Or it might be the Shadowmoon/Frostfire experience they featured in the recent Korea/Europe events since that hasn't come to NA at all yet.

So it seems like ToT LFR is impossible on my Warrior. Long ass queue times and everyone leaves after Jin'rokh. Not to mention I still need to kill Horridon to be able to queue for the next wing.

lol LFR is like impossible now thanks to boosted characters.
I boosted my priest and did an lfr.
Only like 3 people stood in jinrock's puddle.
The 2 tanks on horridon swapped after every new stack and tanked him where he spawns.

To be fair, it's not like ToT LFR was a fun or well-executed experience prior to the boost going live either.

didnt the boost only allows you to get to ToT? Blizz should raise the Ilvl for the last two rooms

I've never had either of those two things ever happen before and I did used to do ToT lfr quit a bit.
This is like literally incomparable to how it was before.
I thought the boosted 90s would get some kind of little training/intro to help with the new class you have no experience with?
Anyway, i assume most people who buy those boosted 90s already played those LFR raids, and are not a bunch of newcomers. So if it seems worse than before, its probably because all the good players probably gave up a long time and are playing Flex raids or simply stopped playing because of lack of new content.

Sounds like you hit the jackpot, since ToT is the reason I stopped doing LFR until a few months into SoO.
That's not coming until the expansion proper. It takes place in Taanan Jungle.
I think it's more astounding how, if those were boosted characters that had done it before that they didn't know how to do the fight in a different role.
I know this is crazy talk around these parts but
I don't care if it's LFR. I at least find a briefer before going into the queue

If only there were some series of tubes that held information about anything you could ever want to know.

Every class it accounts for ~5-11% or so gain.
Spent about a good two hours last night trying to get the achievement for Durumu.
You Said Crossing the Streams Was Bad
Jesus...you'd think people have never done the fight properly.
Anywho, wasn't until I put myself on watch duty (so I could mark wherever that damn white spot popped up) that we started to get anywhere.
But most of our problems generally came from a few things:
-People not knowing shit about the beams. WHY.
-People moving the beam too slow or too fast.
-People dying to maze. (You have to go through two mazes...)
-People getting blasted off the platform.
(This is where I learned that Durumu does this stupid attack the instant you end the beam phase assuming it doesn't take too long. I got booted one time because I wasn't expecting it right then while killing Fog Beasts.)
We got close a few times to completing it, but we generally had too many people die, and we'd fail.
Hell, we even had one instance of the Blue and Red Beams focused on one person.
That wasn't fun.

I think I'd die to Durumu's maze at this point. That mechanic is easy to get rusty on and there are times you can stand in spots that are clearly full of shit and take no damage. Probably the worst implemented new mechanic we've seen in this expansion. It's like trying to dodge Heigan's dance except you have to step on cobblestones instead of pie slices.
In terms of boss mechanics, I hated Garalon's Pheramones far more. So many times would the switch happen twice in succession, resulting in back-to-back crushes. And yet other times it would take a few seconds to switch. Caused more wipes that it should've.
Funny thing about the maze - first time I joined my raid in ToT, they took bets on whether I'd die or not. Made an easy 5K just by surviving when some people who had it on farm didn't.
