Well, finally got in, trip to Vashj'ir was fun, managed the first 4-5 quest before calling it, just too many people camping quest mob spawns. Decided it'd be more fun to try Archeology, and I was right, I quite like it (edit: once you get to the digsite, all the flying around is a bit of a pain).

Well looks like I'll probably be either spam running dungeons for awhile tomorrow or leveling my paladin or level 60 hunter since the quest zones will be filled to all hell.
Applying critical updates. This will take some time.

I still had ~200ish megs of data to download "in the green." Like, since 4.0 came out even. Hopefully the next stage will be recognized, and start downloading.
So do we know how tonight is gonna work? I know it says 12:01pst Cata is live. But are they taking the servers down before that, or does everything just go "Pop! Welcome to Cata"?

Servers will restart, so you'll be kicked before it ticks over.

The latter. You will more than likely get kicked at 12:01, and then can relog to experience the new stuff if the log-in server doesn't immediately crush itself.
Also, I have so much trepidation for this expansion launch. The new dungeons are going to be a death train and i suspect most people won't be ready to deal with it. Tanks who don't mark targets or los. DPS who don't interrupt or ignore CC. Healers who can't manage their mana. Everything is going to be like pulling teeth outside of guild runs.
Q. If I've already installed World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and upgraded my account, will I need to do anything special at midnight in order to access the new expansion content?
A. Once Cataclysm is marked live on all realms, simply exit out to the login screen (the one featuring Deathwing's toothy grin) and log back in. This will provide you full access to the new content -- including the goblin and worgen races and level 80-85 zones.
Woah..... So ebgames wants $58 for std edition while jbhifi is selling at $37.
How do they plan on selling any copies?!
They plan on selling them to people who don't realize that EBGames isn't the only place in the country that sells games. Even Big W is selling it for $37. I don't doubt that GAME/Gametraders/whatever other store you can think of is selling it for less than $40 as well.

A lot of people are still in exceptionally good gear after months of farming whatever it is that people raid in nowadays. And dungeons will be balanced so that a recent 80 should be able to run them (otherwise what's going to happen to people levelling new characters). I don't think the shit will hit the fan until heroics.

It seems like you already know how to solve your problem.

I think they'll be balanced for level 80's quest greens. They're likely to surpass most if not all of the gear people have now.
But the new gear itemization is more focused on stamina. New gear is absolutely filled to the brim with the stuff because enemies hit like a truck in the new zones.

Guess they wanted to fix the problem where Ensidia rushed to 80 and cleared Naxxramas in Tier 6.

I guess I don't see the point of being in a guild that's too small to even get 5 mans organized (aside from bank guilds). Especially now, with guild leveling in place.

Some people like to play with close-knit groups of friends.

We can reliably get 10 mans of guildies together long as we plan for them. 5 mans are beholden to whoever is on. I suspect it won't be a problem since everyone is excited to be playing again, but it is a mystery.
Edit: Also, doesn't guild levelling only care about the top 10 or 20 contributors?
I think they also wanted to change the issue where plate wearers had about 10-15k more health than cloth wearers (Especially mages)
What? Why would that be a problem? Casters are meant to be squishy.
Caused problems in pvp and raids, where there was too big a gap in survivability. Blizzard couldn't have plate-wearers take more damage as a trade-off, because that would make them mana sponges in an expansion where healers are meant to care about their mana.

Can we still buy the expansion upgrade from the website?
I did, about an hour and a half ago, so I'd say yes.
Does anyone know if Hyjal and Vash'jir have profession trainers like Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord did, or will have I have to train my profs before I leave Stormwind?

Guild reputation system is pretty cool too, although it's weird to be farming to impress... yourself?
Thanks for the tips guys. Really surprised at how quick the process was.

Now I sleep
They don't want you buying products with STDs.
Usually the prices are double what they are elsewhere.
If you can get away with importing, do it.
Or buy it from blizzard direct, it cost the same as what JBHIFI charged, and I didnt have to leave the house.
So if we're logged on our mans we'll just be able to head to the new stuff at the stroke of midnight?
I did, about an hour and a half ago, so I'd say yes.

Hell, I can't even come up with a good name.
