I installed/patched last night, and did the first few bits of DK starter, got appaled by the base UI, tried some UI packs, wasn't so happy with any, but by then I was too tired to really play much / contact manz (there were only four dudes on at that point anyway).
Dalaan the moocow DK is incoming though!
(I'm on the server with no resources whatsoever, if you feel like sponsorin' some scraps (bags, cheapo enchants, good ideas, bad ideas, things you think I should have....) I'll devour it all.
I'm thinking about going herbalism and either inscrip or alch (Riding around the old world gathering peacebloom is a fitting DK thing). Which would be better / easier?
I can't say I know much about the server's economy yet, but inscription is a pretty great moneymaker. Pairing it with herbalism would make you fairly self-sufficient, a benefit for a lone character.

I would say Mining and JC would be a good money maker/give you some nice raiding buffs, especially if you decide to go tank, but it would also be good for a dps.
I thought about JC, but I levelled it on my pala at the end of TBC, and it's a fucking pain. Expensive (And my character has... 2 gold... at the moment), and tedious even if you do it while levelling. Let alone if you have to ride around oldworld to get mats to skillup.

That's why you reduce the cost by levelling Mining. And you don't need to do it while ya not 80, as you wont have any gear worth gemming till you hit 80, as you will be levelling pretty fast.

Man, the recent flood of Cataclysm information has me stoked about getting back. They're really pulling some awesome stuff outta their ass for this, it's certainly shaping up to be a fantastic expansion.
I just got off the horn with the repair shop, the guy said it should be done sometime later this week or possibly next. Won't be long now. Might just hit up a netcafe or something in the meantime, maybe tonight. We'll see.
So, I've been looking for a new server for a while when I noticed this thread.
Was very briefly in OS a long time ago (Mericet - lowbie rogue) but I doubt anyone remembers me.
I rolled a little shammie (Kezzerdrixx) and the gf has rolled a warrior (Mymbi) and we've been pootling around at low level, but we have 80s we can transfer if things go well. I have an arcane mage, just about geared enough for ICC and the missus, depressingly, has a super-pimp resto druid amongst others.
Any chance of an invite? or a pointer towards an application form? or something?
My lock is not geared. My hunter is. I don't really like healing on my paladin so I think I'll scrape that idea.
I used to be all about the lock but I kinda lost interest. Maybe I'll try that for a bit. I dunno. I usually prefer hybrids that can heal so I can do randoms more easily.
ok just to update my priesty thing that i intend on transferring over at some point soon is now level 73 (sorry i love my current server too much to tear my druid away xD)
but i should be finally joining you guys in the next week or two, finances and levelling time allowing
So we did some ICC again yesterday and being perpetually low on healers, we had to pug two:
Apparently I fail at taking screenshots and missed some of the last bits, I told him that our other healers weren't any better geared and I guess we fail, if by failing he means doing ICC without issues, while "undergeared". Some more "l2p nab" and "u fail" ensued.
Making my way towards Northrend at 66 currently, tanking is proving quite fun (though so far, fairly easy too, have to see how exciting it gets when things get rough). One thing I notice is that DK tanks great when things are going the way as planned, but when things go unexpected then sometimes it's a challenge, because so many of your skills are on cooldown most of the time.
Of all my tradeskills... cooking is currently the lowest. Turns out Zangermarsh doesn't really drop much cookable stuff at all.
Alright, hit Yes for the raid tomorrow, but it's more a tentative. Ain't no room for that on the iPod. so I'll see about hemming and enchanting in the morning and, outside life permitting, I'll be glad to shoot crap.
Sooo I might have to venture your way when I return for Cata. Seems like my old guild (from Vanilla onwards) imploded when the new officers cherry picked some raiders and faction swapped to alliance side in what they are calling a 'merge'. They let the rest of the guild know after they swapped
Either way, doesn't sound like I will be going back there when I want to get my WoW fix again.
I have to say I was tempted to return, but more for the people than the game, good times were had. I'll probably give it another look when Cata comes out.
is this guild active at all? I just ordered WoTLK so I'll be in need of a guild soon. I was a part of the original Obsidian Spur before it got all wonky, so I'm looking forward to playing with more PA people

Come Cata, I will need a home for a couple of Horde alts

Pick one: Lock/Hunter/DK/Priest/Shaman/Paladin

I'd say Lock or Paladin if it's of the healing variety.
We have plenty of priests and some levelling DKs. Wavefront will fill the shaman shoes and I don't like paladins.

We have 2 paladins at 80 I think, so a pala would be cool. But I think we have no locks at a high level, so that'd be wicked cool.

Just /join PA to see if anybody is there to invite you.
Will probably be online tomorrow again for shenanigans
actually that sounds like it might be fun
maybe
Raid is scheduled for 19:00 server, btw!
but i should be finally joining you guys in the next week or two, finances and levelling time allowing
This intrigues me.
Huk!
Doooo it, the old dirty dozen (or however many it was) back together again!

Hahaha
Oh wow, thats classic.

I dont think I will play again before the expansion. But if I am tempted I might bring Veila to the darkside.
Do it.
Do it now!

I'm not sure if you have Empower Rune Weapon yet either as that is a life saver.
I want to know more PA people on Twitter.
