So, so, so, Warlords is available for pre-order now, despite the beta not yet having shown its face. With the free boost to 90 from buying the expansion now available, naturally the extra boosts are, too. Although the extra boosts are expensive enough, at $60, that I don’t see myself buying any, I still plan to use my free boost on a male Tauren Warrior whose primary roles will be to hold all my non-heirloom BoA stuff when it’s not in use and to look awesome. I won’t be pre-ordering the expansion, however, until I know which realm should be his home. I want to put him on a partner realm to my completely full Tauren home realm, but my home realm has not yet been connected or even had a connection involving it announced. Ever since connected realms were announced, I’ve been waiting for my home realm to get connected so that I could move my three extra Tauren to the partner realm and finally have all my Tauren be in the same guild(s) and able to freely share resources with each other. Alas, each time the list of connected realms has been updated, I have looked to see if my home realm is on the list of upcoming connections, and so far, it has not been. sigh
Meanwhile, my Photobucket bandwidth got overrun again on March 6th. I thought that my bandwidth was supposed to reset on the day of the month that I originally registered my account, which should have been the 9th. It is now the 10th, and all my images are still being held hostage. Grrrrr! I’m still not quite ready to start paying Photobucket yet, though, so instead I’m thinking about moving a selection of images somewhere else — probably some here to WordPress and some to Picasa. I’d probably be moving the art (even though no-one ever looks at it, I still want it to be always visible), the images in the “Things My Characters Wear” series, and the images in “Things My Characters are Wearing with their Shado-Pan Helmets”, “The Very Model of a Warlock Dark and Terrible”, and “The Aristocratic Gilnean in Exile but still in Vogue”. The latter three posts have consistently generated a lot of traffic and thus seem to be the culprits responsible for my bandwidth getting overrun. If I move those images somewhere else, then hopefully that will solve the problem.
ETA: Put in a ticket at Photobucket, seems that my bandwidth didn’t reset properly because my account just happened to reset on the same day that Daylight Savings Time began — stupid, stupid, why don’t we just get rid of DST already? — hopefully problem will get resolved soon. Moved art here to WordPress. Poked around with Picasa (now Google+ Photos); didn’t seem to have quite the functionality I want. Made a new Photobucket account for the images in the three specific posts listed above. Will wait to see what happens this month before moving images in “Things My Characters Wear” series.

It really caught me by surprise, the one I had planned to boost at 60 is level 10 so it looks like my lofty 32 is going to have to make a run at a quick 60. Go Rose, go!
Definitely caught me by surprise, too!
Good luck with your sprint to 60 — go Rose, go, go! 😀
wow, I can’t believe wod is available for pre order. I wonder if that means we’ll see a beta soon. I think like you, I’ll hold off a bit before ordering bc I have no idea what I want to do with the new 90 or where to put it.
I know! Seems kind of crazy to have the pre-orders up *before* the beta, instead of the other way ’round. Maybe we’ll see the beta client come up after maintenance tomorrow?
I know that I was suffering from a bit of the doldrums with all of the characters I have, still, those 90s were calling my name. I went ahead and boosted some that had been kind of sitting in places like Outland, circumventing that haul – one thing I will say is that you still have to do some questing in Pandaria to get the reps up.
Anything to get past those doldrums, eh?
But of course one still must quest in Pandaria if one wants Pandaria stuff. I’m seriously thinking about making Mr Tauren Warrior an Engineer and leveling him to 60 before boosting him so that I can have him go Gnomish Engineering and keep my Hunter as a Goblin Engineer. Then he’ll probably end up farming to get any Spirits of Harmony he’ll need.
Oh yeah, I was getting a real funk there. Not just the fact that I was really avoiding some areas of the game and , now, I’m not. Just had to put on my “big boy” pants and get out there.
