Everything go smoothly? Any lag, server problems, connectivity.......

Or was it shining success?



There's a thread for this.

man what sucks is i haven't been able to play anything in the past few months, so i never got to see the changes being slowly implemented.

what changed exactly? Just Azeroth? This will be interesting as I have 2 characters - a 80 priest somewhere in northrend, and a high 40s, low 50s pally somewhere in kalimdor....and I don't remember exactly where LOL.

I heard initially nobody was gaining experience at lvl 80.

My Death Knight is sitting pretty at level 82 after a few hours work. I have had no issues at all after the first few quests but that was due mostly to overcrowding and not being able to kill what I needed too.

Just a few hours? So I assume its not going to be some month long grind to hit 85?

I just happen to have recorded my thoughts on the Cataclysm launch.

TLDR - Server not down much, annoying decisions by blizzard in quest construction.

Your looking at about 2-3 hours per level ~15 tops for 85 if your questing. The questing is for toddlers honestly so far I have completed most of Vashj'ir and the entire zone is one extended questline. You just go from area 1 do all the quests it takes you to area 2 etc. Theres no way to skip around. A monkey could level as fast as I have been so yes the grind looks very short.
