    Orc DKs in '08!!

    Has anyone gotten the Blizzard WoW installer to work downloading wotlk? Mine says it can't find the interenet.

    I thought they said WotLK would not be available for download right away?

    Curse and Blizzard have it mirrored but its basically worthless since it doesnt work.

    So what are you kiddies planning to do when you've rushed back from the midnight release and everything is all installed? Assuming I can log on at all, I plan to run to Dalaran, set my hearth there, then go to sleep. Wake up 4, maybe 5 hours later, then level until work at 4pm EST. :)

    Are you level 74?

    Alts and multiple servers are the answer to gankfest evasion.

    This is true, but then, you'd have to spend some time not playing the DK, and that's a horrible thought.

    I've got three servers available to me to DK it up!

    Even though one is Dark Iron.

    And another is an RP server full of griefers and cybererererers.

    Which leaves the least annoying RP server to play on.

    Heh, I don't know if anyone remembers my suggestion a few pages back on how to secure a CE for wotlk (by pre-ordering at a newly opened brick and mortar because people don't know that store exists yet, so they have high supply and low demand), but I called the place I pre-ordered at to find out what time they open tomorrow and to make sure my pre-order was secure, and they said they got a total of 2 pre-orders haha.

    So I'm set! Can't wait to make my Orc DK tomorrow night. Of course, I fully expect the servers to be balls and just not work at all.

    I play on a normal RP server, Earthen Ring. I actually quite like this server. Its a very peaceful respite from playing on Arthas, a pvp server for 2 years.

    Oh, and this sucks that the servers are down again. I needed to get some last minute transactions in place before creating my DK.

    Moon Guard is the only RP server where there's more dedication to RP than there are griefers.

    Unfortunately, there's still a good chance of running into undead characters who are ZOMG UNDER THE LICH KINGS CONTROL or draenei players that are like "lolz im teh erdarr!"

    I am seriously pondering going on a DK gank fest. Just to be a dick.

    Camp the Blasted Lands side of the portal to the Outland. You can't get to them in their newbie area, but they do portal out to Orgrimmar at the end of the questline at 58 and land right infront of the Org/SW gates. They are silenced when they land there and flagged so you might be able to kill them as they portal to there. But it might be easier to wait for them between Stonard/Nethergarde Keep and the portal.

    THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

    Going from a PVP to an RPPVP server was hard, because I had that exact vision when people would RP the characters. "zomg lulz I iz the forgotten sun o' thrall". That or the amazing amount of people who are into cybersex.

    My plan now based on this level of awesomesauce from bliz is to just sleep and work like normal until Sunday when I'm off and hope everything is back to normal. I laugh at my co-workers who either have the weekend now (we are a 24/7 shop), or the ones that took leave. They have hope that servers will work fine night of, but I have evidence to the contrary.

    Are you level 74?

    I was under the impression you needed to be 74 to teleport to Dalaran, but that anyone could walk into it normally.

    Edit: Hmm, looks like normal people need to be 74 to be ported to Dalaran, but that mages can teleport there at 71, and the portal has no level limit. Once in the city you take an attunement quest available at level 70 to be able to come and go freely. So, since I've got several mage friends, I just have to wait till 71. :P

    Yup, it is. Unlike Shatt though, each faction has a separate side of the city. So you won't be forced to mingle with the filthy alliance quite so much.

    Now we just have to get different water fountains.

    How separate? Like one side can't get into the other side or if you go on the other side you get attack by guards...

    Well I geuss I should have said they are flagged on a PvP server, normal servers you are unflagged.

    I don't mind giving you the info as my first DK will be on a normal server so safe from Horde gankers.

    I don't rememer Alliance/Horde guards in Dalaran while I was there, I do seem to think it was a sanctuary.

    I'm not sure on this. Doubtful though, it'll probably be like Shatt where even at hateful none of the npcs attack you.

    Technically speaking the Alliance and Horde don't have a spot in Dalaran. More specifically, there is one faction for each. You don't get to choose to be in one. I believe the Alliance one is High Elves/Humans and the Horde one is Blood Elves.

    Since when did these chuckleheads become the prime faction of the Horde? I had to deal with that shit enough in BC with the Scryers. I don't want to work under a bunch of panty-wringing sissy boys again.

    Yesterday I exploited the bug with Crocolisks in the City to get Old Crafty in Orgrimmar; essentially you have a much higher catch rate of the rare fish when the croc quest is active but incomplete. Today was Crocolisks in the City again, so I got my horde self to Booty Bay, teleported into Gnomer, and run up to Ironforge for my first enemy city corpse hop. Wasn't that bad, really, especially at 6 AM, so now I sit in that dark pool ready to fish. This morning I fished around 10 times and didn't get Ironjaw, which doesn't bode well for the exploit but I'm ready to try again tonight.

    Tomorrow would probably be the best time to fish in the other faction's city, considering every able-bodied 70 will be in Northrend.

    Yeah, the Sunreavers. You really can't get around it though. Trolls are only mages because of convenience, there isn't a lot of lore reasons for it. Undead haven't been around long enough to have any presence in the city. As annoying as it is, the Blood Elves are really the only logical choice for a horde faction in Dalaran.
