I will not get sucked in again.

Submit! SUBMIT!

You know you don't even need to buy Cataclysm to get all the new old world content, right? Joooooin uuuuuus.

Presumably you can only access the new races with the expansion pack though? Otherwise it'd render the expansion pointless.

yep, new races are expansion only, as are the new zones and (i think) the level 81-85 stuff.

New race/class combos are open to all though. I may be making a troll druid, if only for the pink mohawked bear.

When's it actually go live? I'm on the verge of resubbing anyway. Looks like my subscription lapsed for all of a week.

Shattering is tomorrow, that's the whole dragon popping out of the ground and all the low level content becoming less shit part of it. The expansion, with the new trade skill, new areas, new races etc goes live on the 7th.

I'll probably miss that anyway, but I might resub now and start downloading the immense patch.

I don't think you need a sub for the updates.

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding somewhere, but I mean I need to re-enable my game account. Unless they quietly took up the F2P model.

He just means that all game updates come before you ever need to log in. So download the patch now, then resub when you can actually play.

Ahh, good idea.

I don't want to break but I'm sooooo close!!!

I think I'm 6 months cold turkey.... but that might be closer to 4 in my delirium. Gaaaaah!

Gamon has 1.9m hp, he hits about as hard as a raid boss.

I wish I was there for the first person who found that out.

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » November 24th, 2010, 18:37

Could well have been me.

Well all looking very different! Had a mooch around Org last night - looking good for the 7th!
