BBBI feel for ya. I work at a community college and it would suck if I couldn’t use the internet. And Cassieann I feel for you too – just remember students are students – even the ones who are old enough to know better (adults), still don’t wash their hands, coughing all over the place without covering their mouth or using a hanky, still bringing terrible germs into the place…. Been sick for over 2 weeks because of it : ) Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here.

As an update… I’m not ignorant, I COULD bypass the lockout and access the internet. In fact, I did the morning it went live just so I could check my mail quick and respond to stuff I had left hanging until I got in.

I just figure, if they don’t want folks to use the internet, then I won’t use the internet. It’s not a problem, as far as I’m concerned. Most of my research takes place at night anyway.

It is annoying that I am now totally cut off from checking yahoo mail until I get home, however. That bites.

I agree with Lushious that going to Borean Tundra is better as far as XP goes but again, it’s what you want to experience. At the moment, Az is 4 bars from 76 and still working on Dragonblight quests (and has some left over group quests from fjord and tundra). The initial tundra quests will net you huge amounts of xp for little effort since they are essentially the same as the fjord ‘welcome to northrend, here’s some easy xp’ quests. When I finished fjord and went to tundra, I probably went up 1/2 a level in xp in about 2-3 hours. In comparison, my dragonblight quests are taking longer with much more running around, etc. Also, as far as rep goes, I think rep is much harder when the quests are basically useless as far as xp/gear. I just hit revered with vanguard last night after the fjord and tundra and most of dragonblight but I think it would feel much more like a grind if I had to go back when I was much higher. It’d be like going back to do netherstorm quests for aldor/scryer rep (which incidentally I probably will for enchantment reasons). Just my 2 cents as well.

My condolences! Oh, man. I could not even begin to imagine being at work without internet access. Maybe it is time for BBB to find a new job? :D

Just kidding.

As a daily visitor the site, I look forward to when BBB can get to posting again. It’s making *my* work days drag a little longer without him.

In terms of questing, instead of hitting up Dragonblight immediately, consider Bornea Tundra as your next stop. Since both of you are level 72-73, the quests will be easier and, on account of that, will progress quicker. You’ll still be pulling 20k XP per quest, which will not increase dramatically in Dragonblight. Factor in the huge amount of quests there (in excess of 120), and you’ve got a excellent field of XP to reap.

My adventure to 80 had me in Howling Fjord, Bornea Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, and then I dinged 80 in Zul’Drak. I now have the other half of Northrend to farm quests for, though this time I’ll be snagging buckets of gold, rather than buckets of XP.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
