This Warhorse, She Does Not Fly
Patch 3.3– dubbed Fall of the Lich King– went live yesterday, much to the excitement of the bajillions of Warcraft gamers out there. It’s a pretty exciting patch, both from a content and lore standpoint.
As I recently started reading Arthas: Rise of the Lich King
Of course, just because it’s live doesn’t mean it works. Patch day woes. To be expected, of course. Instance servers are borked, so the odds of you managing to zone in and see the new content, use the new cross-server dungeon group finder or even raid the pre-existing content is slim to none. But those issues will be resolved in the days to come. We all know how these things go.
Last night I decided to rebuild my raiding UI and do a little mining. You know, to buffer the wallet a bit for all those impending gear repairs I’m expecting. At one point a I’m flying along over Storm Peaks looking for nodes, the world server goes down. No big deal, I thought. It was the fifth or sixth time it had happened that evening. Well, I log back in and much to my horror I am no longer mounted on my Netherwing. Nay, I had magically been placed upon my Warhorse. I can only imagine she was as confused as I was as we plummeted thirty thousand feet to our death together.
I laughed for a good five minutes on that one.
Preparing for the fight with Lord Marrowgar
On the upside, my guild did manage to get Marrowgar down to 48% last night before our instance went all sideways. So, I can’t complain too much there. Now we just need the instances working so we can finish the fight towards Arthas.
