So, whats everyone going to do first :)

copeyhagen

well, the title says it all, whats everyones plan to do first come 12:01 tonight?!

personally, i have been leveling a rogue on the side and hes just 30 so gonna play him this evening just to ding so he can get his mount. (havin sooooo much fun with the rogue, never rolled one before)

to be honest, im more interested in playing the death knight than i am in seeing northrend, especially over the next few days (lag city and impossible to finish gather quests etc)

so my plan is to play around with my deathknight and my rogue and leave my 70 hunter and warrior resting, so when questhelper starts getting updated over the next few days, i wont be runnin round looking for 20 frost wyrms or whatever!!

took monday off work so before then ill decide who i want to hit 80 first and start questing, probably my warrior.

whats your plan?

TheDoc

I'll create my DeathKnight and then start my epic quest.

I'm going to take my time and not rush anything.

I'm not in primary raid groups in guild so i have the luxury of just talking it slow and enjoying.

copeyhagen

yeh i dont see the point in rushing as fast as possible to 80, i would rather enjoy it

thought of a name for your deathknight yet?

Mena

Get to 80, by any means necessary. Beg, borrow, steal or cheat, but get to 80 I will. Then the raiding starts!!

I'll go back on alts to enjoy the new content.

KilOit

Gank DK's if i don't get my game at midnight

hehe nice one.

i was only playing wow about a month when tbc was launched so i was mostly oblivious to what was going on.

i only got into raiding in the last few months and still cant decide if i prefer raiding or pvp.

ill try both at 80 me thinks

Splinter

hoping xtravision give me my copy tomorrow.. (despite them trying to tell me it doesnt launch til friday...) - my shadowpriest is going straight to 80 and i shall level my prot pally slowly might roll a DK just to do some stuff im used to :P

TheDoc

yup name taken

Kratus

Reserved

Dcully

Im torn between levelling my priest to 80 first or rolling a DK and levelling it aswell.
Im not gonna rush to 80 tbh.

Nehaxak

Probably just gonna punch the missus, knock her out so she doesn't annoy/disturb me then get straight into the game with my Hunter.

No, no, no, wait, something is wrong there...

copeyhagen

hell no, that sounds about right..hehe

dark_jedi_ire

Dont know ( long time lurker But playing wow for years,)

Staying at home in my parents for the last two weeks and for another two weeks while house Extension being built, They have a crappy 1 mb connection and My bro is Always playing xbox 360 so its lag city for everything i try and do,

But top of the list will be get my main holy Priest to 80 (Ordeus, Alliance on Kul Tiras ) or play my mage alt for longer until I get the house sorted and be able to move back in and play, and or test out the dK and have a bit of fun,
But it looks like My main will miss out on all the first two weeks of Fun

Gummy Panda

I don't know whether to roll Gnome Dk or Human DK.

I'm thinking gnome cause they're small and annoying while humans are plain and boring.

Ive already warned mine not to expect any form of interaction from me untill monday morning....

But first thing ill do will probably roll my DK, have to find a nice name all the RP'ers will QQ about, then hop onto my hunter and get him to 80 asap. When thats done ill chillax and enjoy northrend with my warrior and lock. I dont plan on getting much sleep untill monday !

copeyhagen

im only with my gf about a month so she thought i was a freak when i told her i was takin monday off to play!!

so according to her im a nerd haha

im still debating what race to roll as dk.

my favs are undead and lore wise they should have been the only dks. but i have never had an orc or tauren so the bulky look i will probably end up going for. probably male orc.

i was thinkin of rollin a dk called runecoon or somethin that rymes with rune!

**dont rob my name!!

Gummy Panda

undead DKs look great.

Taurens are funny for the horse stealing quest.

I'd go Undead on horde side.

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Play a little CS:S, drink a few bottles of beer and then get sleep

I will be getting the game at some stage tomorrow, I do not feel the need to be the first 80 on the server. I'm a prot warrior, gold dust for new instances Shouldn't have a problem getting to 80 really really fast.

copeyhagen

hehe check it out

copeyhagen

just patching now from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2

its a 631mb patch. says 81 mins more like 50 i reckon.

have my cd key bought from offgamers too

copeyhagen

scratch that, found a link for the patch, cancelled the blizz updater and should have the patch in 4 mins. downloading at 2 meg a second ftw

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Copeyhagen will you post that link or PM it to me please? I would like to download that link tonight before I get the game, thanks

Scuba_Scoper

at copeyhagen

Current in-game build is 3.0.3(9183). You are installing last weeks build m8.
You will have to d/l another 41 mb patch
You are NOT installing the Lich King client there. /hug

Jason2379

The first thing I'm going to do is hop on a boat to Northrend and see Borean Tundra

Then I'm going to roll my DK, named Pennywise (DO NOT steal it) and Im gonna see what it's like while my main is resting.

Pity I wont be able to play until Friday evening, latest

copeyhagen

yeh it auto patched that one then another 2.

when i click on create a character now the dk symbol is there but cant chose it.

im ready to rock and roll now.

super_furry

Make my Deathknight to get the name I want then take my Lock to Northrend.

Gummy Panda

Upgrade page is back online.

Saves doing it during the rush at midnight

Joneser

I went back and completed any of the old quests i wasnt bothered doing when i dinged 70, so now im in shadowmoon waiting to hand them in and get a nice exp head start

make the char with that name now so no one else takes it

then when you are making your dk just delete the other one=]

i've got CORPSEXPLODER saved on a gnome level 1, even though i dont plan on playing dk for months

Inquitus

Is there a dl avail of the WOTLK client? I have a license key bought, just need to install the client? anyone?

Nehaxak

Omg WoTLK full is a 12.1GB download from Usenet

EDIT: Actually it's only 7.7GB - just double checked, the rest of the download was the PAR files...

I thought you were waiting tomorrow to send the missus out?

Changed my mind and she's going in for the midnight launch herself so I don't even have to bother downloading it now either

Krieg

Download patches before tomorrow
Wowwiki patch mirrors

3.0.1 - 3.0.2 GB Rapidshare Premium

3.0.2 - 3.0.3 GB Rapidshare premium



Edit: Whats the story at 12:00 for those of us who are picking up the expansion tomorrow?
Im guessing all the crowds will be hovering around orgrimmar/undercity - Northrend zepplins. Then server retarts

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Thanks for the links mate, but... what exactly do I do with them?

Right I will get the game tomorrow, install it then add these patches to what folder? Do I just cut and copy it to C:/Worldofwarcraft folder? I am not so good with this crap to tell you the truth

Nehaxak

Nah, you'll probably have to mount them with PowerISO or similar. They'll more than likely be .ISO images.

For anyone else interested with Newgroups access (Usenext or similar) the full WOTLK EU is available from alt.binaries.big and is 7.7GB in size.

Nehaxak

Scratch that, my bad, the rapidshare links are just the patches.

Nehaxak

BTW, if you upgrade your account now you can start a Death Knight. Seems to be a load of them on Draenor already, just checked.

Krieg

60 DK's on our server now

Thanks for the links mate, but... what exactly do I do with them?

Download from links, install
Im not sure if you need to place them into a wow folder in our order to install them. Im afraid I haven't ever installed them manually before. Might be best to leave it until someone can provide fact on the matter

But its good idea to DL from rapidshare if you have an account with them, Im guessing the 574mb 3.0.1 is going to be a bitch to download from the wow servers tomorrow

copeyhagen

got sorted and playing my dk by about 12:25, loved it! great fun playin it.

only got to play for an hour due to work this mornin.


whats northrend like?

Hobbidance

Have to power lvl my holy priest to 80 so guild can begin raiding asap ( QQ bb t6... )

but after that i'm gonna do AAAALLLLLL the achievements and make loads of gold from quests and get those imba mammoths!

GIEF T7!! /rawr

copeyhagen

Hobbidance

lol what do you consider fun? :P
