The Shattering

[Dave]

Servers just went down, tomorrow is the Shattering! And I went out of 4.0.3 epically! Just got exalted with the Zandalar tribe 12 minutes before server shut down!

Hope you all enjoy the new Azeroth. ;D

[wvdveer]

Prepare for epicness when you start up WoW again!

Gz with the rep, just in time.

I wuz hoping fur exploshions n stuf



Hope the cinematic is worth it, and hopefully something in-game rendered storyline thingy

[Dave]

Cheers Wilco!

Servers are (or were) up. Dani ran around new Stormwind a bit, but then she disconnected, and she couldn't reconnect after one attempt so she quit to play L4D2. I'm just leaving my game to finish updating. 5.3 GB to go!

Ash, if you didn't see the cinematic trailer already, you're in for a treat. If you did... well... don't get too excited about logging in.

I just read something funny about the shattering on mmo-champion

- You can use profession-crafted flying mounts in azeroth, like flying carpet and the engineering helicopter


Hurry! While it lasts!

[cronulus]

"But they work as ground mounts" -_-

Sorry to ge you all excited! :p

[Septih]

I assume they work the same way that all flying mounts work until you get the skill (which requires cata) - they just try and lift off but fail.

[Roper]

Oh, I thought you were going to be able to use flying mounts in Azeroth, is that not the case?

[Commando]

Oh, I thought you were going to be able to use flying mounts in Azeroth, is that not the case?

I've underlined the important part for you.

Flying mounts in Azeroth are part of the expansion, and we're not quite there yet.

[Roper]

Ahhhh, thanks.

Will it be immediate or not until you've levelled? Like the cold weather flying in the previous one?

[Commando]

I believe you need to train it like with Northrend flying, but I don't think it'll cost as much.

[Dave]

Last I heard it'll cost 250 gold and you can train it immediately when the expansion goes live on the 7th.

[Brechnar]

Finally got round to buying a new game card. I'll probably be online tonight. Can't wait to see what's happened

[Dave]

So, I've played through both the gnome and troll starting zones, and I've gotta say, 'Jolly good show, Blizz'! Great fun, infinitely better than the old starting zones. I actually deleted my gnome priest to start it again. Yeah, I changed my mind with the name and didn't wanna pay for a name change on a level six character, but still, I liked it! They're not mega-epic or anything, but I do like that everything connects, you're doing something more important than killing X number of boars, then X number of wolves, then X number of another kind of boar all the time. And I like the idea of having a 'boss' at the end of it all too. Tomorrow I'll be doing the tauren starting zone with a friend, so I'm hoping the normal starting zones have been made more interesting too.
