Congrats on the bow. I carried a friend through SWP on my Warlock to get him this. It took about eight trips with him.

When WoD goes live, any character that has not been logged into the world since 11/08 will have its name marked as available for someone else to use for their character.

Be interesting to see if this is a one time thing or a continuous check of some age range.

Uhm, why? Doesn't make much sense to me. At least they should make it 8 years or something. People don't like coming back and losing something they paid for and thought they had. Taken names hardly stop new people from playing either, the most popular ones will always be picked up within hours anyway.

What are the odds of them coming back after 6 years vs 8 years?

Probably a 1 time dump, maybe per expansion. They will kill old names if you submit a ticket, so I'm sure this is just reducing their work load.

I started the quest, i finished the 10 sigil part but i don't think i will be able to finish it before the WoD launch, at this point i think i will stop trying to gear up since the expac is so close to release, ill just level up my warrior and rogue in the mean time

IMO with the buff, the hardest part about the quest now is the 3000 valor. It is going to take you 3 weeks to complete that no matter what. Secrets collection took me 2 weeks. I am one the Runestone one now and I only got 4 last night :(

It looks like they are removing the 3000 valor part of the questline when 6.0.2 drops. Who knows when that is gonna drop though so I'd probably get through that ASAP if you can.

I got the cloak on my main and my primary alt. I can't bring myself to do it on any of my other toons though, especially at this point when it will probably be replaced on day 1 of WoD by a random green drop.

so been reading on the official Bliz forum. Was going to post there but not at home and every time i log in from not home i have to reset my password because Bliz thinks my acct was hacked..so

The question of flying being removed in WoD.... I read that as just in WoD zones but later... is it the whole game it is being removed from or just new zones?

That will suck if its the whole game. I just came back to game a couple months ago and been 2 boxing. just got to 60 and flying this week. Dropped a ton of (for me) gold on training. Would hate to see flying disappear from old zones.

still having fun in game and i guess i can get over it if flying is gone and enjoy while i have it. I have played off and on since release but never was able to get past the mid 50s level. So it all new to me now.

i usually try to avoid reading the official game forums as from reading it appears i should really hate the game and not be having so much fun.

I would go and get eggs for 2-3 months then take about same off. Nobody on my server shouldn't have any of the pets you can get and I stopped vendoring the egg yolks long ago and ust trash them.

When World of Warcraft's fifth expansion pack, Warlords of Draenor, releases on Nov. 13, it's not likely to have perfect balance. There are going to be some new elements that could break certain player-versus-environment encounters or lead to frustration in the player-versus-player game. But developer Blizzard isn't just alright with this reality — it's downright excited by it.

Players aren't looking forward to that quite so much.

Ah my best moments of PvP was with my DK when they first came out. Ripping faces with plague strike.
