I barely ever have time, but if I get a chance to play I'll probably make a shaman.

Also, it's Wrath not Wraith!

 

WLK Classic to live on the 26th/27th.

PS: Current can you please fix the typo in the thread title? You wrote "Wraith" as opposed to "Wrath"

 

GO GO FURY FTW!

 

Ah, do you get the reference ?

Sga...

Also woops typo.


I'm not going for any gear at the moment, just saving honour points so that I can get a nice weapon from the honour vendors.

At the moment I can buy a season 2 crossbow for 19k honour, but wondering if season 3 stuff will become purchasable with honour as the end of season 4 arena approaches ??

 

I will say no.

 

Extreme grain of salt, but rumour has it prepatch could be going live tonight/tomorrow.
I don't think it will, but the XP buff went live without notice, so don't be surprised with anything anymore, I suppose.

 

Prepatch will go live on the 31st.

I am so looking forwards to this "expansion". of all the expansions this has the most soul. There is just so much lore.
You have the Vrykul storyline - those of the "corrupted" born, who brought into question those borne of human form - and the fight to legitimise those wrongly borne.
The dreadful, tragically inevitable story of Zul'Drak. For me, personally my favorite: the inevitability of betrayal, from one most evil, to one both evil and obsessively greedy. For me the most powerful of all the stories of the expansion - one so large it needs 2 zones worth of stories to reach it's denouement.

The horrifying battle of the Wrathgate.
The grind, the mistakes, and the unspeakable horrors of Icecrown.
The origination stories of both the highbrow Stormpeaks, and the mirrored stories of Sholazar basin and UnGoro - and it's fleshing out in Storm Peak, and Ulduar.

And then there's the downfall of Arthas Menethil: the core story driving the whole Northrend story. The burning of the boats, loss of his soul, and it's tragic end under the name of Mathias Lehner. (an acronym) (there's a postscript, however fleeting, in Shadowlands.)

And finally, the real-life inspired, awful, awful story of BridenBrad, both condemned and saved by the light. It always brings me to tears, doing that questline.

No, WOTLK is an expansion never to be forgotten, it is to be savoured, indulged, and to be played over, and over again - there is just so much lore, so much pathos, so much richness. The soundtrack alone is worth it.. the stories even more so.

I'll be there, come 30/8.

 

I want the axe that I'd only available for a couplenof days

 

You're after the Arcanite Ripper?

yeah

 

Any Arugal Horde guilds looking for a Holy Paladin (Yeah, I know they'll be FoTM soon enough). Guild has decided to part ways with me and I'm looking for a raid spot or just cancelling my sub.

 

WLK was peak WoW. It was the peak of active subscribers, and has never been matched by later expansions since.

 

Prepatch and Deathknight zerg rush in 8 hours, and a little over 10 minutes... if all goes to plan

 

Haha yeah calling it now.

11.5 hours of servers down due to complications

 

I would not be surprised in the slightest.

 

Well, I'm in. I slept in by 15 minutes, and had a queue of like 1 second, but I'm in.

Not A LOT of people in Acherus hold at the moment.

 

Not the authentic experience then
