Ah, why not. I like the idea of a “time capsule”, and I love looking back a year later and marvelling at just how wrong everyone was, myself included!
This was suggested by Janyaa at Muradin’s Musings, and I heard about it from Enlynn at Bubblespec.
- Disk or Download?
Disk. Like Tobold, I’m baffled that it’s significantly cheaper to buy the box retail than to buy direct from Blizzard. I’d accept a couple of pounds more for the convenience, but a 40% higher cost for the direct download is a big difference. - Did you experience any difficulties? IE: Login servers crashing, late delivery, etc?
My box arrived on the Tuesday morning, so I was able to log in and play on the day of release. It’s actually been a very smooth release for me. - What are you doing first? IE: Speed leveling to 85, rolling a new race, completely avoiding the new content, etc?
Levelling to 85 so I can gear up for heroics and raids. I’m also tinkering with Archaeology, which is strangely addictive. - Mt. Hyjal or Vash’jir?
Mt Hyjal – I hate 3D in WoW because I find it impossible to work out where I am or where mobs are relative to me. I can only stand so much “The target must be in front of you” before running off and sobbing in a corner.
Plus, I love how solid and earthy Hyjal is, compared to the winter wonderland of Northrend and the wierdness of Outland. And flying into the sun from Orgrimmar to Nordrassil and seeing the shadow and flare effects are gorgeous. - Worgen or Goblin?
Neither yet. When I do, it’ll be Worgen because they’re more interesting than Goblins. Although the “British” accent grated on beta -why is it so hard for American companies to just hire a Brit to do the voiceovers? I’ll do it, and I won’t even demand a fee! - Questing, dungeons or both?
Questing. I prefer to level quietly and solo, so I don’t have to deal with the rushing and competition. Although I’ll be doing some dungeons with the guild, and I’ll need them to relearn how to heal. - What was the first piece of gear you replaced and with what?
I had to look this up, but my first upgrade was replacing my T10 legs with Kilt of Reborn Future - Did you take any time off from work or school?
Nope. I’ve just come back from 3 weeks abroad, so it would have been a bit cheeky to take more time off work for WoW! - Will you be keeping the same spec and main, or changing to a different toon?
I fear change! I’ll be sticking with the same toon, and probably with Discipline as my spec too, until such time as it proved to be entirely unviable. - What’s been your favorite aspect of Cataclysm so far?
The upgraded graphics and tightened up zones, I think. There’s so much to explore, and it really makes it feel like a new game.

Hi, Malevica!
Thanks for joining the meme fun. Nice to hear I’m not the only one relegated to playing evenings and nights.
I haven’t checked out archaeology, yet, but it has gotten good reviews so far.
