Picked up the Collector's Edition last night from EB - not much of a fanfare, since most of the other Collector's pre-orders had already gone out the door earlier that day.

Took about half an hour to get on my usual realm due to it being full up, but when I finally got on, creating my goblin and worgen rogues were the first thing on my mind, even if only to secure their names first before anyone else did.

Flew my main toon to Mt Hyjal first up, and it was just like Hellfire Peninsula when Burning Crusade first came out - everyone questing in the zone at once, having to wait for mobs to respawn.

And finally, someone @ Tom's finally got round to it...

World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm--Tom's Performance Guide

"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

If you have a 80 paladin or DK go to the highest mobs - levels 86's @ twin peaks and grind them takes 6 - 7 hrs to get from 80 to 85. Athene got to 85 this way, World first achievement and if you don't know who Athene is Google for a laugh.

Anyways expansion ain't turning up till tomorrow morning for me so much for pre-order, entered wow just before everyone i know are already 85. Seems they made the grinding easy.

I'm struggling to toss up between a Lv80 warrior main, a new Lv80 paladin alt, and a neophyte werewolf and little green man. Looks like I'll be pushing the pause button on my social life.

Well got to 82 last night, I hated questing in the water area vas har or whatever its called so I moved to Deepholm at 82 to quest there. I don't think im going to get to 85 by tonight though so aiming for 84 at least.

I'm seriously thinking of race changing this week from Orc hunter to Goblin hunter :)
