World of Warcraft. Expac here. You are in a queue. Forever.

There's plenty of stuff to do outside of dungeons.

In other news, my guild got Hagara heroic done today after only a raids worth of tries. <3

Thanks Igor, StayDead.

I'll just stick to what I'm enjoying about it for now.

Concentrated obnoxiousness....you're not wrong there!

Just got a message from my sister on Facebook telling me about the Scroll of Resurrection http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/services/sc ... urrection/

The Scroll of Resurrection is currently on cooldown, but will be resurrected soon. Once it’s available, you will be able to earn a free faction mount when you use a Scroll of Resurrection to bring a friend or former guildmate back to World of Warcraft, but this offer will only be available for a limited time. Any active World of Warcraft non-trial player can send a Scroll of Resurrection. To be eligible to receive a Scroll of Resurrection, your friend must have previously purchased at least one month of game time at any point in the past, and your friend’s account must have been inactive since March 4, 2012 or earlier.

Once your friend accepts your scroll and pays for at least 30 days of game, you unlock your choice of the following rewards:

A Free Spectral Gryphon for an Alliance character
Or a Free Spectral Wind Rider for a Horde character

And, to enable you and your friend to play together in Cataclysm’s newest content, any friend who accepts your Scroll will also receive the following epic benefits:

A single character immediately boosted all the way to level 80 -- DING!
A FREE upgrade to Cataclysm -- regardless of your friend’s original box level
An optional FREE character move -- to your realm and faction so you can play together
7 FREE days of game time -- available immediately

Quite tempted

Ah, there's your problem. I went back to this for a month some time last year, I think - after a several year break. Oh, I how I wished it would be like it was back on release.

No, WoW is now nothing more than concentrated obnoxiousness. If you aren't there purely to satisfy the cunty little banana splits that populate the games group finders then you shouldn't be there at all, as far as they're concerned.

Dungeon finder is the reason for people being obnoxious. It's all down to the anonymity factor. Group up with a few people on your server and you'll notice people are generally polite and cooperative. That's because a reputation can come back and bite them in the ass.

Also, whether you like it or not, WoW was a huge gear grind back in the day - the reason it was so exciting is because it was a massive, new world to explore. That aspect of the game hasn't changed one bit.

Cheers, I've requested an invite for a guild that I've seen a few folk from wandering around so I'll see how I get on.

I hit level 55 last night and royally ballsed up my attempt at creating a Death Knight.

I spent ages agonising over a name for him and ended up with one which I wasn't overly happy with it but, as I'd had that many returned as already being in use, I just went with it anyway.

After a few minutes play, I decided I'd have another think about it and went to delete the character. The trouble was that it wouldn't let me due to the items that he held.

So, I started back up again and chucked all his armour and stuff, leaving a rather cold looking Worgen where a proud Death Knight once stood, and tried deleting again. Still no joy. Apparantly the mail in my mailbox was stopping me now.

I gave up on trying to get to the closest mailbox after dying for the 5th time and submitted a ticket asking if the character can be deleted on my behalf.

I think this is when a is most appropriate.



EDIT: Fixed now thanks to a friendly person at Blizzard. Just played a couple of hours as my new Death Knight. Oooh, it's a lot of fun, isn't it?

DK starting area is very enjoyable indeed. Some fiddly bits here and there but I enjoyed it so much that I sometimes used to create a DK on a new server just to play it again.

Expansion embargo has been lifted, new info http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/268 ... Press-Tour

edit: well I just about jizzed my pants at the opening line of info under The Mists of Pandaria Press Tour in 5 Minutes sub-heading. Not happy about the Alliance being involved though. We can sort our own problems out thankyouverymuch! No occupying forces in Orgrimmar!

This has been the longest period of time where I have gone without WoW, I knew I'd be back for the new expac. Though up until now I wasn't all that excited. Am excited now

Holy gooseberry fool! It's beautiful O_O

I hope there's a Great Wall of China type thing in there. That'd be pretty cool.

Game looks really good, Head over to MMOChampion for videos.

Just read this;
The final patch of Mists of Pandaria will be the Siege of Orgrimmar! Both factions lay siege to the city to bring Garrosh down and end his reign of Warchief.

MMOChamp claiming the Beta is due to start tonight!

Yep all Annual Pass holders should be on the look out for an email from Blizzard.
Can's wait to make my Kung Fu Panda

On another note can someone tell me the best armour specs for a frost mage? Is it Stamina/Intellect or Spirit?

I've made a decision to quit raiding at the end of this expansion I think. I've had a good few years raiding then I took a break and went back at the end of last year, I've really enjoyed raiding these dungeons together with my guild who re-formed, but I think it's finally time for me to hang up my tie on the old WoW rack again.

I'll play this expansion most likely and enjoy it, but I won't be raiding it with my guild or at all I don't think, I've come to the end of my tether with it, I want my evenings free again and raiding is starting to become a chore again. Told my GM via PM a few hours ago as he made a massive post saying he wants to take the guild back to 3 days a week and stuff, but 2 days is enough for me to handle right now and if I get more uni work I won't be able to handle doing 3.

I don't know why I'm posting all this gooseberry fool here, it's late and I'm tired, just wanted to say it.

A friend sent me a Scroll of Resurrection.

At first I was But then when I remembered he was a mount whore.

Still...

So they finally bring this change in to the game...

Mists of Pandaria Dynamic Quest Rewards

One of the interesting change made to leveling in the expansion is the quest rewards. In Mists of Pandaria, quests no longer have predetermined rewards and they have been replaced with dynamic rewards depending on which class you're playing.

For example, this is the rewards for the first horde quest of the expansion, from the point of view of 3 different classes.

Ended up being sent one and resubscribed....

It'll kill the lull of not affording to go on nights out when I purchase my new house at the end of the month, hopefully will fully level this time!

Finally quit again. See you at the expansion WoW.

Got my email to confirm BETA this morning.

Just got a scroll of resurrection...

Gonna go for the seven free days to have a nose about then that's it!
