Don't worry, that is never going to change.

Yeah, I agree.

I can neither confirm nor deny. The timeline for Elysium PvP is not set in stone yet. You are correct that they were available too long on Nost PvP.

Old mounts are gone before Alterac Volley becomes available. AV is a great place to farm rep, that's for sure.

I've always found Ring Menu useful for playing a shaman. You can put totems that you only need occasionally in there, while you bind your most used ones to your normal actionbars. That way the buttons won't be cluttering the scree while you play and a press of middle mouse button brings the ring menu up when you need it. You can customize the number of buttons available as well as their size.

Morrowgrain is only for Darnassus and Thunder Bluff - not for Orgrimmar or Dark Spear Trolls.

It's a good question. We can do the math. From Neutral to Friendly requires 3,000 points. Friendly to Honoured requires 6,000 points. Honoured to Revered requires 12,000 points. Revered to Exalted requires 21,000 points. That's 42,000 points altogether. If we use Vanillagaming database - which might not be accurate for us - we can scan all quests giving Orgrimmar reputation. There are 230 quests associated with Orgrimmar, though not all of them will be available at Elysium PvP launch. They usually give either 250 or 350 rep a pop. Let's say you have only 200 available at launch: 200 x 250 = 50,000 So I would say that it is possible. Just run to Durotar at level 1 and start doing the orc starting quests. Keep track of quests via the database so you don't miss out on any - remember that when they turn grey, you only get a fraction of the reputation. For Darkspear Trolls, I believe you're right - there are only 142 quests associated with them and since some of the are cloth donation quests and AV quests, you probably can't hit exalted via questing. To my knowledge, there is no repeatable quest for either faction before cloth donations.

Very true. Anyone can level a hunter to 60, being probably the easiest class to level, which also led to that infamous "huntard" slur - but it takes a very skilled player to reach good DPS in raids and master kiting and double-trapping and other tricks of the trade. Aim to be a pro hunter, Lazydork, don't settle for being a huntard!

Since this is outdated information, I'm locking the thread.

You can now post in the general Class forum. Treat it as a general mechanics & guides section. We are looking into the edit thing.

Nostalrius was not some sort of Wild Wild West, where any- and everything was allowed.

You do not need separate accounts for separate realms. One account is enough. The wording can be a little ambiguous but it means that your Nostalrius characters will (automatically) go to the appropriate realms. When that announcement was made, we hadn't decided the neames of the reals or even that there was going to be a fresh start realm. So if you had a Nostalrius account, you will be able to log in to that account and your PvP character would be on the Nostalrius PvP realm, your PvE character would be on the Nostalrius PvE realm AND you can also create a new character on the Elysium PvP realm, which is the fresh start one. So 1 account = access to all 3 realms. As for completely new players, they can make new characters on any and/or all three realms, they just don't have any old characters to resume adventuring with. Hopefully that makes it clear. There is no limit to the transfers, it's not like you'll only get to bring 1 character over or something like. We have the full Nostalrius database.

Not quite. There are 3 AHs that are separate from each other: Alliance, Horde and Neutral. You cannot post something in Alliance AH and then buy it in Horde AH. What you can do, is place something in Neutral AH with a human and then buy it with an orc. The linked AHs just means that the 3 locations for each AH were linked - early in vanilla, IF - SW - Darnassus AHs were each separate for a little while and same with Org - TB - UC ones. Neutral AHs are in Booty Bay, Gadgetzan and Everlook.

This should not be an issue. But do raise it again after launch if you think it is.

If replacing your graphics settings with the stuff I linked didn't help, it means that the culprit is in your video card drivers. Do you have some sort of games profiling software that tweaks driver settings for each game? That could be it. Or perhaps a Steam/Discord overlay? The problem, based on your description, is clearly that the second client cannot initialise graphics. Meaning that somethings happens with the first client. Since it's not WoW's own graphics settings, it must be elsewhere. Double check Windows display settings, nVidia/Radeon control panel, any "boosting" software, any overlay software.

How does it differ from LazyPig?

Well this thread went abysmal fast.

I stand corrected. I mixed it up with the changes that 2.3 did to the old world.

Yeah, let's take a chill pill and step back.

Only the normal amount. TBC changed it (patch 2.1 or 2.3 I believe) so that max-level quests gave out increased gold rewards.

There are already very few gold sinks. Gold is an unlimited resource in WoW and after buying your epic mount & skill, your raiding reagents and consumables, taking care of your repair bill - well, there's nothing else to use your gold on. So paying 50 gold every time you switch between PvP and PvE spec at least removes a little bit of gold from circulation. Furthermore, players who cannot afford it, have to then do either PvE or PvP in sub-optimal spec, which brings variety to the game, or even try using a hybrid spec. We are not going to change the costs to re-spec.
