Aah, the sweet mystery of server populations. Our Deathwing server went from Deathwing through Deathping to Deadwing.
Should be a pretty popular server now, with the next expansion hitting soon.
I'm thinking of buying the game and renewing.... which reminds me... why can't they bloody give you a free month deal with the purchase of the game like other games do when they're new? It's not like it's going to hurt them much.
Anyways, I'll most likely go back, gain more levels and become a battleground dweller once again. Hopefully it's not as messed up as when I left it. And hopefully people in my server get serious about doing pvp so I can find a static.

I'm pretty sure you get a free month when you buy the retail version. I once saw a battered up box of the game + TBC + free month. It was discounted to €15, which is just a bit more than a month. :D
Of course I was clean and didn't buy it.
Which reminds me... if you do the free trial now, you can see how they changed everything for Cataclysm, right? And new race/class combinations are also included in the original game. I think. :)
I don't think the new classes are available in the original game, but you can see the changes in the game world (at least that's what my brother tells me :)).
I'm thinking of starting as well. Just need to wait a bit more..

Yup, the new race/class combos have been available for about 2 weeks now.. since before the expansion dropped. You get the new combos, and can play through the new azeroth without having Cata.
The thing you can't do is level from 80-85, and you cannot be a Worgen or Goblin.
Yeah, sorry about that, I read "class" but though "race".
Just a few weeks until I begin. Couldn't wait and started a character on my brother's account..

It's so tempting to play the free trial. I'm just afraid that I'll waste all my holiday time on it.

You can enter the worgen zone without cataclysm, it's ruins, nothing really there. And the goblin zone is destroyed after you leave it as a goblin, so no one can go there.
I really just wanted to chime in and say Vash'jir is amazing and riding a seahorse is the straight dope.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to mess with the 80-85 content yet, I have a low level hunter that I'm going for loremaster and multiple achivements with as I level on alliance. I'm tempted to try one of my 80's.. but I have too many of them, just trying to make this guy my main.
I'm using manual level caps to achive this too.
My caps/goals:
~Lvl 30- Complete all level 1-25 areas, All skills to 150 (Mining, Engineering, Cooking, Fishing, First Aid)
~Lvl 45- Complete all level 26-40 areas, All skills to 225
~Lvl 60- Complete all level 41-55 areas, All skills to 300
~Lvl 75- Complete all level 56-70 areas, All skills to 375 <-Gonna take forever
~Lvl 82- Complete all level 71-80 areas, All skills to 450 <-Gonna take forever
~Uncapped- Complete all level 81-85 areas, All skills to 525 <-IDK, probably gonna take a long time..
On the way I'm gonna try to hit up every dungeon at least once, except for the obviously abandoned old heroics which I'll have to deal with at 85. Right now I'm working on the 45 cap content. He's already exalted with all of the alliance factions (besides Gilneas)
So yeah I don't expect to see the end-game for another 4-6 months, if not longer. But it's fun checking out the upgraded Azeroth. Some areas are just a lot of the same, even some classic quests and bosses... but some of the areas don't even resemble the place it was. All of the dungeons appear to be the same with very few boss changes... and all of the dungeon quest givers are right at the enterence of each dungeon.
The quest layout is noticably better then even the BC and WoTLK quest layouts. When I went to the starting area outside of Exodar, and that place just felt broken. Just shows how much Bliz improved questing since BC. Now if they could go back to having characters with more individuality, and having a more diffucult end-game... the game would be perfect.

Give back 40man dungeons.

They should bring back at least one, and bring back the weirdo items...
Like a 2H sword with +666 Strength and no other stats. lol
I came across my first azeroth glitch in stonetalon mountains.. well second. In stonetalon I'm stuck at 59/60 quests. I looked it up, and a bunch of people sre stuck there too.
(The other glitch is Bloodmyst isle.. I have 60/64 quests completed, but it gave me the achivement anyway)
If anyone wants to restart, you might as well go off a referral I can send to you. That way we both get leveling bonuses as well a free flying mount I believe.

I always liked the Two Ring, described as being slightly better than the One Ring.

Lol yeah. The obscure items that the old game used to have were fun. I remember one dagger that looked like a broken glass of alcohol, it was lower level, but it was extremely slow and high damage for a dagger, so some end game people would use it...
How gear is set up now, everything is the same. It may look slightly different, but everything has the same stats. Each slot has bare minimum upgrades usually.

I reactivated my account, but I haven't made my character yet. I'm most likely going to be playing an alliance character on maelstrom.
Thinking either a dwarf hunter or a gnome mage.

You mean on Alleria? Yes, I think you meant Alleria.
