Cataclysm

So it’s coming, and it’s coming fast.  World of Warcraft’s Cataclysm.     I know I’m getting ready for it.  So many different plans at the moment, and still wanting the collector’s edition, but not sure if I screwed up this year by not preordering.   This whole digital download has kinda screwed me up.   I mean, i want to play at midnight, but to do it  I had to preorder the digital download.  Now, I could buy the collector’s edition too, but that seems a bit ridiculous.   And then what happens if I don’t get a collector’s because I didn’t pre-order it?   At the moment, I plan on either waiting at wal-mart at midnight or get in line at best buy EARLY in the morning.   Neither of those sounds like fun times to me.

I would say it’s really silly, but so far I have the collector’s edition for every expansion, including the original game, so I hate to ruin the streak now.   ARGH.  I’d love to hear ideas from folks.

I’m also working on a 2nd character, a MAGE, which is really my first go at a caster in WoW.  I’ve played priest in the past, and I had a hunter that I originally started with, but I can’t really seem to want to level any of those up.   I’m enjoying my mage so far, and I think it could really round out our guild raiding since we don’t have one in the guild.  And there are like 6 druids that play a LOT.

The one thing that IS annoying about switching characters though is missing all the pets, mounts, and achievements that I’ve worked so hard to get on Durgle.   That is frustrating.    I really with they would do more account bound stuff.  Like why do I need to get all these achievements on ALL my characters, or even on more than one?  Why not just make the achievements account achievements and not even character driven.   You could even then add more achievements like… an achievement for doing EVERY trade skill on  your account, and tons of other ideas.

The big this is that it would allow people to play other characters more freely without that being an issue.

Heck, I’d love to see them just add in the ability to change classes.   This day and age with Refer A Friend, and leveling being what it is, it’s not like people have to know their class to level up anyways.    So what people would be new to the class.   Make them take some sort of in game test or trial that tests whether they have a understanding of how to play the class before they can group or something.

I dunno…   just ideas.
