You know, it’s funny but I took my Druid to that farm and did the first several parts of that Flower vs Ghoul minigame, and got stuck on one of them. I only did it twice before I had to go do something in the real world, and the next time I logged in, I had to go herb on my Druid and couldn’t stay in the zone.

I can’t believe I still haven’t finished that quest to get my flower power! What a shame.

Like everyone above: I’m excited.
I plan on flying about and then fishing some in a new zone. I’m going to go pretty slow and look around.
I have a bunch of heirloom gear for my soon-to-be awesome worgen rogue but now I don’t want the extra XP. I took my lvl 61 hunter to northrend and downed some the lvl 70 deer because none of the quests besides hellfire penn are open in outland. The extra XP zooms you up and you are powerful already and I wished I’d tinkered about more in Un’goro and some other of my favorite zones.

I’m going to conquer Peaseblossom vs Ghouls, dang it!

I saved a TON of mats for Fish Feast thinking I could get some quick leveling points but suddenly see no need to race to get there. For me, it seems that Raiding Endgame can wait a while. So much work was done on the content, I want to see it new and fresh.

I’m still torn. I *think* I’ll do this:
- Old Weather Flying for all
- Scroll of “Enchant: Gatherer” for the gathering 80s
- Go mining on my JC/Miner ’til max mining
- Go herbing on my Druid (still Tauren) ’til max herbing.
- Hop on my main and see if I can go tank an instance or quest a li’l without incurring a huge repair bill!

But yes, between my BS/Ench. tanking main and the JC, I’d need a metric shit-tonne of ore. Herbs for the Alchy – and skins for my LW Boomkin wife might be interesting as well. I have 6 80s and a 65, I WANNA DO ALL THINGS ON ALL TOONS! I am gainfully employed, so I can’t do everything on every toon :/

Dang, I forgot. Step 0.5: Slap a spec, any spec, on my Druid. Something Feral again, because I already have gear for those :)

Everyone else seems to be going to Hyjal…am I the only one who wants to go to Vashj’ir? The idea of an underwater zone just tweaks my curiosity…not to mention my “I-Don’t-Need-Underwater-Breathing” druid heart. So, the plan is…

1. Create Worgen (still not sure if going druid or mage, here…probably druid…I love my druids)
2. Grab main (lvl 80 balance druid) and hit the ground running in Vashj’ir.
3. Level professions on the way (tailoring and enchanting)
4. Get to 85.
5. Breathe.
6. Get breakfast.
7. Switch to alt level 80 char, change “Vashj’ir” to “Hyjal”, return to #2.

Rinse, repeat…I have 4 80s. During rest periods where my eyes are burning sand dunes, I’ll relax and return to leveling my new baby mage. The new Darkshore just freaking rocked. :)

My advice to you is to not bother with Heirlooms except for weapons. The xp gain isn’t necessary, and really feels like overkill compared to the speed fo current questing. Jus a thought.

I’ll probably start with leveling a character to 85, although I’m undecided if it’s going to be a priest or rogue, just yet. If it’s a priest, it’ll be a dwarf unless I can finish leveling my shiny new gnome to 80 before Cata goes live (she’s sitting on 65 currently, so chances are maybe 50-50). If it’s a rogue, it’ll either be my dwarf, or my other dwarf – I like simple choices.

After 85 I’ll likely roll up a worgen druid (finally, the chance to try out an alli druid without having to endure those awful nelf character models), will definitely roll up a dwarf shaman, and will have to give a goblin a try (if only for the chance to see Kezan). And I’ve some other alts to get to 85 and start leveling tradeskills with. But (aside from the initial 85 rush) I’m trying to keep things in perspective. And I don’t know if I’ll have the focus needed for raiding, this time round (especially after getting burnt out in Wrath).

I’m a member in a progression guild (although not a raider myself), so I’m trying to come up with ways to help give the initial raiding members a headstart with the new content (probably through harvesting and crafted gear). All in all, it’s going to be interesting to see how raiding v4 goes.

The very first thing I’ll probably do is take my main to Mount Hyjal and at least get his leveling started.

I’ll also continue to level my sunwalker – turns out I love the class mechanics, just never wanted to play a blood elf paladin.

Then in a month or two, when the rush to start new characters dies down a tad, I’ll start my goblin warrior. She will be a blacksmith and an engineer, two professions I haven’t done yet. She will have pigtails if at all possible. And she will kill the hell out of everything that gets in her way.

I’m probably going to level my 80 DK first, then get some heirlooms and work on alts. We’ll see, i’m oddly not all that excited over it. Kinda the same old thing.

That does sound kind of cool. Imagining things in shadow form has been sufficient to make me roll new priests and level to 40. “I wanna see a Shadowphant.”Ok… I wanna see a shadow raptor!” I was thinking a shadow gnome would rock but a shadow worgen don’t sound bad at all.
