…I’m hoping to be in tonight and re-learning where all the keys are.
I take it by the tumbleweed blowing through the site there isn’t a plan to go prise Ashbringer from the Cold Dead Fingers of Kaeldusomeoneorother?
(I’d go and look it up but I’m not allowed to in here…)
I’ve not respecced yet, so could be talked into tanking…

I need to do some cleaning, so I should be in about 20:30.
Stormeagle needs the key fragment from SL before moving on, and can tank or DPS. (He could also do with running Auchenai Crypts, Sethekk Halls and Mana-Tombs, at some point, if we wanted to go for a lesser challenge.)
Lorac just needs the Arcatraz piece, but hasn’t done the break-in questline. He can tank or… tank. It’s a while since I played him much, so I’ll need to remember how to play.

You’ll have spotted that I wasn’t in at 20:30, as I said I would be. I got in around 21:10, but you seemed to have gone already. I didn’t stay on for long – I just checked what the BG daily was, and decided I would rather eat my own toes than run WSG. I’ll be in tonight, probably from around 19:30, if not earlier, though I can’t guarantee it.
I don’t know who will be about, but if we can’t field a full party, then maybe one of the lesser dungeons would be fun.

That was OK, though I doubt I’ll be in tonight. I was the only one in when I got in last night so didn’t stay long but ought to be in again at least once later this week.

Since I cannot post again for some unknown reason..Ill post this here

So I logged into the WoW:WotLK beta last night and started a Death Knight (horde side). I honestly have to say it’s probably the best 2 levels of any MMO I have played. It shows almost every trick that Blizzard has learned over the last few years and has an amazing epic feel. Everything from the location to the story line to the actual class\talent\spell introduction is so polished.
First thing they have done is given the expansion a graphical tweak. There is a little more detail in environment and the draw distance has been really extended. This makes the opening starting location for a DK look amazing. You are standing on a balcony in a Scourge floating city looking out over the lands (way) below. Amazing how much more Epic this makes things feel (it’s something LOTRO had from the start).
Second thing that hits you is the Death Knight storyline. It’s brilliant. It’s a super introduction to Arthus\ the Lich King. Giving loads of background on how you have come to be. It’s full of great set pieces from getting your scouting the local village to stealing your mount. It’s almost worth the price of entry alone in my view.
The DK itself seems to be a great class. A hybrid of magic and melee with a rather interesting Rune stone and Rune Power mechanic. It’s so good in fact I’m afraid you will be seeing a ton of DK running around for a some time to come. They are just too much fun! Although I have to say I’m not looking forward to dropping out into the old world after finishing in the DK starting area…
So far I’m pretty impressed but not sure how it will keep my interest in the longer term. I will say when you start WotLK it might be a good idea to check out the DK first give as great deal of background….
Anyway I’m gonna copy my toons across to the server (if the server ever lets me log in) so I can muck arounh with what other specs might be link since they are really cheap to change on the server!

I should add that, before my new computer comes on Saturday, any declared time for me being isn’t certain, as my current computer tends to reboot about once an hour, sometime more often.

Surely the DK post should have had a spoiler warning?
Not so much for me as I forget stuff almost instantly mind you. It sounds great and it’ll be funny to see how many Death Knights there are on the first few months of play. Any non DKs on the beta realms yet? Will look at posting issue tomorrow if I can.

I think the posting problem could be that you have two logins? I have two accounts now because I (stupidly obviously) forgot to capitalize one of the names, even though both use the same email address.
Just a stab in the dark…
