So, I figured out my patching difficulties, or at least I have a theory. I think my bit torrent client never relinquished ports that WoW’s bit torrent client needed. (Why WoW can’t use your default bit torrent client, well, that’s another story). So, with that, everything installed successfully. I log in, and it’s a 35 minute wait to get onto my usual server. oy. 973 people in the que. Ugh. <\/p>\n
So, I switch over to some random, not-fully-populated server. And I figure, what the hell, I’ll create one of them there new draenei characters. Well, first, I’m totally disappointed by the lack of texture and detail on the male draenei characters. They seem so featureless and bland, like, even worse than smurfs. Maybe it’s just that I’ve only been seeing them in the animated video things, but I think they’re disappointing compared to the other species, so maybe not. So, I make a throwaway chick draenei shaman, and I log in to the grand central station that is currently the draenei start town. Logically, this should be no surprise, but it was still a little overwhelming. =)<\/p>\n
So, then I go back to my home server, things proceed pretty quickly, then it hangs looking for my characters. I shrug, go to another server, get my characters, but can’t actually log in with them. So … yeah. Great expansion guys. I’ll let you know how it is in a week or two, when I can actually log on to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
