Been going here and there today, after getting the good news from the GM. However, I still need to do away with the Darkmoon Faire cards.
I want to sell them on the AH, but I fear Blizzard won’t like this. Near Thunder Bluff, they have the Darkmoon Faire going on there, so I flew there to see if I could redeem the cards to that guy that tells you about them. I cannot. So they’re useless to me.
I don’t remember everything the GM said. I was too happy to care. Something about to sell them at a vendor. Nothing about that it’s OK to auction them. I could make alot of money, but I would be doing the same thing that hacker would’ve done if Blizzard didn’t stop the person.
Just seven minutes ago, I sent Blizzard another ticket. When I hit the Submit button, it showed 11 hours and 37 minutes as the wait time. UGH!!
So I got an idea to just put the cards back into the bank. As I ran into SW, I notice the ticket jumped to “will be serviced soon” in just five minutes. Freaked me out and made me happy at the same time. MUCH… much better wait time than yesterday. I assume it’s a way to apologize for not reaching me on Monday Night.
Anyway, the ticket paid off. The GM, going by the recent conversation they had with me, said I could go on and do what I wish with the items. Sell them. Keep them. Put them in the bank…
Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew…
Do whatever. I thanked him and told him that I wanted to make double sure if it was OK. That’s when he told me they keep records. This is good, because I don’t.
So with that out of the picture, rewind the tape back before this happened.
I went back to Vashj’ir to get the “Explore Cataclysm” achievement. I missed just one area I didn’t explore, in the Abyssal Depths (had to copy/paste the name. Can’t spell it).
When I got there on Drago (my dragon), I noticed how… eery quiet Local chat was. No one was saying anything. Still, Drago kept flying until finally reaching the area, and I got both achievements. The “Explore Vashj’ir” achievement and the “Explore Cataclysm” achievement.
I then decided to go swimming. Take a closer look. So I dismounted, got on my seahorse, and headed down into the abyss.
Again, it was like I was all alone. Went in a few places, and there was no one there. I still remember when I was leveling here, this place was fucking packed. It was quite easy to get a group to defeat non-soloable mobs there. But even doing soloable quests was a challenge, with all the people.
Now… it’s a ghost town. Not even the “newbies” who were carrying on about how to get inside of Naspirah, and how to talk to it, were saying anything. It was just… dead. Even as I type this it freaks me out.
It also deeply concerns me. As in, eventually I’ll make my Druid and/or my Tauren Hunter go up to 85 as well. How are they going to get the help they need? Especially my Druid. Cat Form in water doesn’t really work out for me. Maybe it’s time to dual client again?
When I entered the Shimmering Expanse, preparing to get back to land and go home before the sun sets, there was just one guy asking something; asking about where’s the quartermaster.
I had to ask “Where is EVERYONE?!” He didn’t say the reason why, only asking me where’s the quartermaster, and then grouped me.
Kinda wish I didn’t say anything, but I had to know where everyone went. Spent 15 minutes trying to look for the quartermaster. This guy, another Level 85, is getting on my nerves, following me like I know where the person is. I tell him to check Wowhead, but it doesn’t help him. Finally I found the person and he gets the items, then tries to give me 35g for no reason.
I sent him on a wild goose chase by accident, and he wanted to award me? I told him to keep it and he did, thanking me and then hearthed out.
Back on the surface, I tried to wonder how long have I been gone, and what happened to everyone. I believe four months. I still don’t know what happened to everyone. It shouldn’t had died off this quickly.
It could be that the majority of this server, doesn’t like questing in Vashj’ir. I personally enjoyed it. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.
But… it’s just down right strange. Not even the start area has people in it. Could be that the area is phased. In other words, you can’t see people, but they’re there because they’re at a lower level than you.
I eventually went back home as the moon started to rise, and the rest… has already been mentioned.
I’m still waiting for Cooleow to get on so I can ask him if he knows anything about the hacking attempt. So far he hasn’t. In the back of my mind I’m beginning to suspect he might be the hacker, but that’s just wrong. I have no solid proof.
Cooleow is a spaz, anyway. I doubt he would be the hacker.
