New stuff coming happening soon:


The past weeks we have been working on developing a custom event under the name "Servants of Justice" for all our realms which will bring unique tokens and trinkets. The event will be fully announced in greater detail and released tomorrow, a small spoiler can be seen below. (Spoiler shows some dude on a turtle in Booty Bay).

Also (ED-specific):

The Dragons of Nightmare are expected to hit the realm on Wednesday the 5th of February 2014 (announcement will follow).
Our Database development are in progress of polishing the low level issues with high level of detail to the everything in order to bring the true blizzlike Vanilla experience.
We are currently making progress on fixing NPC Combat, Caster and Melee AI, this will hopefully improve the experience all tanks have in a PvE enviorment.
Fully working War Effort and Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest line together with AQ40 opening gate event is being prepared on our PTR servers, it is expected to reach Emerald Dream shortly after the Dragons of Nightmare.

Also: Resistances and Auras are getting rewritten to match a fully blizzlike system for all 1.12 realms - to be expected in the upcoming days.

I saw that, but it was only shown under Warsong so wasn't sure if it applied to us.

I wonder what these events will be and whether they will be a 'one winner' type or if everyone can complete the items like quest(s).

I just assumed ED gets counted under "all 1.12 realms"

drat, I was really hoping I could hit 60 in time to get in on the ground floor on some of the AQ pre-opening events (like the mini-bosses in Silithus). At least maybe I'll get the chance to see it as I level through that zone.

Hopefully that means pet resistances will work? I understood they were bugged when I first started playing on ED a while back but haven't checked lately.

Also, I got a botter suspended yesterday. :getout:

If anybody is going to pursue a scepter, I promise I will do whatever I can to help them kill the million bugs in Silithus, or whatever it is, to get the needed rep for Brood of Nozdormu.

E: I think it's 42,000 carapace fragments (or 10,000 + bugs to kill) you have to turn in per this page: http://wow.joystiq.com/tag/scepter+of+the+shifting+sands/.

If everything goes smoothly, we will also go do Onyxia afterwards.

Yeah it's a lot... this pretty much has to be a guild event if someone is going for it. We can discuss who's interested in being the person (and dedicated enough to farm bugs many hours per day)

I suppose the incessant crashing this morning after the restart will mean TP was going for the new dragons. So they're a thing now. I wonder what the release date on AQ looks like now.

No kidding. I was on a server (Archimonde) that got free transfers away due to bad latency right around the time the collections started it became a low pop server afterward and it took us forever to open the gates.

AQ gear is so horrendously ugly that they can postpone it as long as they like. I won't be glad to be rocking that bug shoulders + bug dick dagger combo once again.

Since we finished MC "speed" run (mostly) on time:

Fayrn pushed Shishkabob's eyelids closed. His lips traced the familiar shape of the last rites, but he faltered with the meaning behind his words. Was he betraying his vows to the Light to feel the way he did, to allow passion to angle its way into the dusty corners of his soul once more? What of his pledge to the noble order of Let's Get Weird--did he do them a disservice by letting his heart tug in one direction?
He forced himself to his feet and reached for the tome at his belt--but another hand caught his before he could.
"Domo Fayrn-sama." Subtle's tone was respectful as always, but something unfamiliar burned behind his elven gaze.
Fayrn gave a half-hearted shrug, though his hand didn't slip free from Subtle's warm grip. "More questions about healing assignments? I've taught you all I know--"
"N-no, Fayrn-onii-chan." Subtle's gaze dropped. "I just--do you think . . ." Red twinged his purple cheeks. "Do you think, even on this battlefield, love can blossom?"
Fayrn's heart hammered in his chest. He didn't hope Subtle could mean--he didn't dare believe--
Subtle brushed Fayrn's hair back from his cheek, his Sapporo breath warm and spicy. "It's you, Fayrn-sama. It's always been you."

Can't find that one either. Yeah, now I recall that the MPAA equivalent of my country and such won some court cases and the ISPs were forced to block these PIRATE sites. So I guess if there are no mirrors on better sites, proxy seems like my only option..

Yeah, unfortunately, Blizzard has gone around and asked for all of the direct downloads to be taken down so there aren't very many options. Just google for the client and look at all the requests. :eyepop:
