Playing again

Yep paid race, did it myself lastnight from my draenai hunter to worgen.

We had our first class level 85 at 9am Tuesday morning, 10 hours after the game was released!!!
Again expansion is far too easy to level, but the game got a nice refereshing face lift which will easily last until Star Wars Old Republic goes live.

Are the dungeons still tank + aoe spam? Or do you need to use crowd control, marks and care again (like pre wotlk)?

Crowd control is back and better late than never, i'd say. WotLK could of been a much better experience with crowd control.

Does that apply to the starting dungeons as well ? If I did take the leap to come back first thing I'd do is sell everything on all my characters, delete them all and start again

If you have a character over 60 you should keep it. TBC leveling area was extremely boring once Lich King cameout, now both levelling area's for TBC and Lich King will be boring as the new content is out. If you have a character who has cleared some of that content you may wish to use him to get to the new stuff quicker, as well as have a new character to see the early zones again. The less time wasted in the previous expansions the better, as I don't think they will have changed much?

The idea of coming back and playing a character I've not seen or played in 3 years if the account thing is right (5 years for the higher chars I'd guess as the pop back 3 years ago lasted 4 months), and don't remember anything doesn't appeal at all I'd want a totally clean start with a new character who'd have some money (probably not much as I imagine any old stuff is worth nothing). If the old world revamp doesn't do it for me I'd just stop playing, no harm done.

It's the name I'd like to reuse more than anything, but not going to pay to rename one char to get it for another

Edit: Wow

Bipodjr 8 Gnome Mage Terenas Now
Cantin 16 Gnome Mage Terenas Now
Geezer 2 Gnome Rogue Terenas Now
Glorfun 19 Dwarf Hunter Terenas Now
Gottaa 61 Gnome Warlock Terenas Now
Gottii 2 Blood Elf Mage Terenas Now
Handun 13 Draenei Paladin Terenas Now
Shintau 35 Night Elf Druid Terenas Now
Siixie 28 Gnome Warrior Terenas Now

I'd keep Shintau as he was the one I made last time I came back but not fussed about the others and would reuse Cantin, Gottaa and Siixie's names, how many character slots do you get ?

The problem at the moment that I find with this release is the spawns (this might have a contributing factor of how players are already lvl 85). Players complained that when WotLK came out the spawns were far too slow, so this time round the mob spawn like guppies. This is especially noticable in places like the new underwater zone Vashj'ir, which is lovely by the way.
It just needs to be toned down alittle, but you can stand in one spot and mobs will spawn every 10 seconds, very easy and boring way to level grind though.

I am still in that mind set where I wont give up my T9 or 264 gear for lvl 80-81 greenies. :)

Pretty much what i did. I started a new account from fresh. I havent played since October, am tempted to go back for a month or so if i can get a copy of cataclysm.

New account I figure will be more expensive than upgrading this one, but who knows, when I get the networking finished at home I'll look into it properly :)

Waiting till after Christmas once the rush has died down. Was on to see the launch which was quite nice, especially the typical fail login server.

Not exactly rushed, but i'm now Level 84 after scouring the first 2 new zones (Vashj'ir and Mount Hyjal) was trying to leave the higher zones for gold after i hit 85.
Also paid to be a worgen as they're 1000x better than human after 6 years

eep, time to get on the phone buddy. I'll probably give this a stab over the next few months but not yet, bit busy with new job and just shifted hoose.. "again" troll druid maybe? Or Gobbo rogue.. one of those probably.

Oh and let us know how end game / pvp is Cor, your main still your rogue?

P.S and motorbike update :)

It's now 3 days after the launch of Cat & still waiting on the delivery of our 3 standard & 1 CE from Amazon, standard editions were posted 2nd Dec & CE was posted 6th & tracking on the CE says it arrived at the national distribution centre 7/12/10 12.30pm & has sat there ever since. Needless to say it is probably the last time I use Amazon for any time sensitive items again I wonder if I had gone with Play.com would I have my copies by now like the previous expansions. If I was synical I wonder if Blizzard have stopped companies sending copies out so early as they have their digital download service available for the first time @ over �5 more than price you can find online.
