Getting on the new patch train

So finally got on last night for about a 1/2 hour before I got kicked again.
I quickly sent my druid off to Stormwind to train and to take a peak the the new Stormwind harbor.

I will say the harbor is very impressive. Those dwarf workmen kicked some serious butt to get all of that completed in the time they were given :). I wish we could fly over the harbor, if no where else, It was just that pretty.

I have re-specced 10/0/51 resto. Switched around to get the gift of earth mother since I read a few things that sounded interesting about that talent. I will re-spec again once the leveling process starts up but I wanted to play with resto for a bit first.

The achievement thing really excites me. I know there are people who are already using it as a way to compare "size". I have 1500 achievement points while you only have 800. And others who are disappointed you can't trade the points for gear or gifts. I am just glad to have something I can do solo that is kind of silly and fun. I already collected pets, though I discovered I only had 22 :( LOL well an excuse to go buying now :). I also have opened a couple of maps just because.

My only complaint is I hope over time maybe they allow you to turn off the achievement announcements. I don't want to annoy my guildies too much and it can be a little annoying in the cities when everything kept proccing. (Though I also realize it will slow down once we have all memorized the stuff from our bank.)

Anyways looking forward to the game at the moment. Hoping the patch keeps me enthralled enough to want to play this winter.

Yes, that's one of the bad things I see coming with the achievements - "size" comaparison. And 1500 points! I guess my character's age is showing that she only has... what, 860 or something? But it definitely will be fun to get the maps explorations and pets up, surely.

Did you make a visit to the barber shop as well? All the cook kids are doing it.

I tried to get a haristyle but my server was too busy doing its exercise: down, up down up etc..:)

I am happy with my hair at the moment but I was planning on playing with it for kicks.

Right now I am more interested in what I can do as a healer. Need to ask a guildie to go get hurt so I can use them as a guinea pig
