STRANDED AND DISCONNECTED DURING THE SHATTERING DEBUT
You see what I did there?
Once you forgive me for my very bad attempt at alliteration, let me remind you to turn on your PC and log on to World of Warcraft because the single most amazing patch in years has gone live. The Shattering is here, hombres.
While everyone else has been blogging about awesome-Stormwind-redesign-this and freakin-cool-new-class-combos-that, I’m gonna write about my agonizing time in Dalaran.
Yes, I got stranded there after all the portals got shut down with the new patch. Of course, I could have flown all the way to the ships back to Stormwind, but I opted to dangle my WoW Gold and get the very best Mage taxi service in the server.
So I offered around 50 WoW Gold on the trade chat for the mage who would literally go to where I was sitting (near the emblem vendors) and proceed to port me to the great Alliance capital. In less than a minute, several mages whispered me and I picked the first one out of courtesy.
A minute later and I was ported to the familiar square where thousands of would-be Stormwind heroes pass on a daily basis. Then the game friggin’ crashed! Several repeated disconnections later and I’m pounding the keyboard in frustration. What’s the use of a great patch if I can’t even enjoy it for five minutes straight?
Remus and Cletus had better luck because the pair of them had agreed before hand to park in Ironforge, partly because they were curious to talk to the new Council of dwarf leaders. If you haven’t heard yet, the great Magni got cursed but instead of dying instantly just petrified, proving once and for all that dwarves just the toughest bastards in Azeroth.
Remus and Cletus suggested over IM that I better just give up now and get up in the early morning instead when the crowds may have thinned out. Here I am, sun’s not yet up, and I’m frolicking in lag-free Northshire Abbey with my new human hunter. All’s well in pew-pew land.
