...right?
I want WAR to be good so hard.
But I don't know if it will be the "wow-killer" people claim it to be.
WAR needs to come out soon though, cause I hate WoW so much right now.
edit; I don't think it is going to be a "WoW-killer" either, but anyone who claims it to be such is just naive. They both share the word "War" in their names, but they are really going to appeal to completely different markets. WoW will lose that type of player to WAR or AoC or whatever, but it will never lose their type of player until something of that mold can replace it.
Ya, neither did I...
Someone's gonna use the non-cooldown transmutes into arcanite and those plus the bars bought to make some twink-ish arcanite gears?
So did anyone else park themselves outside the gates to the new Isle so they can get there super fast tomorow?

PIMP YO MOUNT!
Haha. My account runs out on April 4th. I haven't played in over two weeks. I'm not sure I want another MMO - Warhammer doesn't interest me.
If anything, I guess it'll be EVE, but right now I'm playing Bioshock again and working on my new gun.
Look, devs, it's really simple: take WoW's basic PvE gameplay...overlay your property (Shadowrun, D&D's Forgotten Realms, Marvel Universe, whatever) and watch the dollars come a-rollin' in. It really is that simple.

Actually people probably wont even do skettis anymore with Sunwell out.

No, but it's a pain in the ass being dazed and hamstrung while trying to move in one's non-epic flight form one side of skettis to the other.

June 1- Arena Season 4 begins
August 1- Blizzard sets November 18 (giving the world two weeks to celebrate the election of President McCain) as the release date for WOTLK
October 1- Blizzard announces that WOTLK will be delayed until January, 2009
December 1- Season 4 gear is made available for purchase with Honor Points. Raiding ceases as everyone farms Honor to stock up on gear that they will be replacing within a week of the expansion's release.
If they could dismount me I'd probably mind.
I will on my paladin (daze immunity), since the daily cap has been raised to 25.
My mage will probably avoid it though.
I mean, no one really wants McCain to be president...do they?
RE: Those Bleeping Kaliri. My own theory here is that Blizzard has decided Skettis's bombing run was too easy without an elite mount and is trying to encourage people to head for the money sink. I know *I* don't feel any pressure to burn 5000 gold, but then my only 70 isn't a gatherer.
Nerfing the Prisoner quest, again? This I don't get. Maybe they're tired of people fighting over it? At least on my server most people advertise that they're about to start it.
Compared to who
Not that I am bitter about this or anything, considering that I just learned that I needed epic mount training before I could purchase flight mount training. My previous flight-mounted toons were Druid and Paladin, so I never knew this gold-sink existed.
Blizz is very concerned about inflation and do things to try to keep it in check. They put in a 25 daily cap that gives you more gold, but also put in a NPC that you donate money to for rep. They also put in new patterns with a high pricetag. This all keeps the amount of gold out there somewhat reasonable and in turn, keeps those boe epics from getting ludacris.
There was a rumour going around about a swimming mount for Northrend, possibly a swan, a few weeks ago.
I'm not entirely sure if it was a joke or not. I can't tell anymore.
It is a money sink (which is a good thing) but it's not nearly as big a deal as people make it out to be, it's not like it takes any real effort at all to accumulate the 1000g for flying, or the 5000g for speedy flying.
Uh, actually I did...
But you are right, if you hit 70 before doing the majority of the SMV/Netherstorm quests you will have no problem digging up 900 gold for flight + mount.
It's not like you need to have both those zones left to afford normal flying. They'll net you about 3-4k gold, considering the drops etc. you'll get whilst there. I think the price of normal flying is a perfectly normal ammount of cash to have to hand by the time you hit 70, unless you've prioritised other things over it in which case there's nothing to complain about as you'll have your cool item or maxed proffession or whatever.
It doesn't necessarily have to be mount training to be a money sink... It's always been a mount, because increasing your movement speed has been king.
What about training you can pay for that allows you to fight on your mount? Or training that allows you to swim on your flying mount?
I highly doubt they'll make more, faster mounts, considering the fact that Gryphon taxis fly at 400% run speed, and you can already get around faster in TBC by flying in a straight line (SCREW TAXIS!).
