Breakfast Topic: Is the ring worth it?

The spiffy Dalaran rings:Band of the Kirin TorAre they worth it?
Signet of the Kirin Tor
When I hit 80 it was the first thing I picked up. The powerful ability to teleport myself to a major city is, in my opinion, invaluable as I conquer the end game of Wrath of the Lich King. But after I right clicked to buy the 8,000g ring, I paused.
I felt a small twinge on the back of my head.
Was that the tingling of buyer's remorse? Did I just buy the Sega Dreamcast of rings?
Will my ring fade away to soon be vendored? No ring to control them all, and no ring to in the darkness bind them?
My hope is that it won't be. I'm keeping the ring in my bag, along with the necklace from Illidan's quest chain that I've had for the past 10 months. A port to Shadowmoon Valley will still be useful if I have to get to a capital city quickly. And then with the hearth stone set to where I want it, I have a total of three quick and easy portable locations for my lazy Warrior butt.
You voiced your opinions last week on the multi-person mammoth mount, so tell me – what do you think of this? Is a Dalaran ring worth the money?

I think it's worth it, if only for the fact that you don't have to bind your heartstone to Dalaran to be able to travel fast to all capital cities like we had to do in TBC

Sega Dreamcast of rings? So you just bought the best ring ever but it will be short lived? Good things don't last forever.

Maybe he meant Sega Saturn?

Maybe he means we're going to see 'Band of the Kirin Tor' splashed across the front of Arsenal shirts next season?

Hating on the Dreamcast hit pretty close to home for me too :(

Dreamcast of Rings?
I need one of those rings. Pronto.
superfrank Nov 19th 2008 8:06AM
the ring will be superceded BUT it means you can set your hearthstone somewhere useful and still be able to get to dalaran quickly.
for me the BT portal will still be useful as I work through my remaining outland achievements ;)

Verymad Nov 19th 2008 8:07AM

:)
Axolotl Nov 19th 2008 8:18AM
How much bagspace does one of those mages take? :-p
Milhojas Nov 19th 2008 9:59AM
And shammies too! Hmm... and DKs, lately.
Verymad Nov 19th 2008 8:31AM
all ur bagspace with giguantic bags , all ur pet space, and all ur mount space, all ur slots for one of those mages.
Alizar Nov 19th 2008 9:01AM
All your slots are belong to us.
SBKT Nov 19th 2008 9:08AM
How's this. I KEEP my slots, and you stay in the bag and shut up until I need you or I mortal strike you in such a way, you'd think I were Saurfang himself. Deal?

@ Axolotl & Alizar:

Derek Nov 19th 2008 2:27PM
Yay for being a druid... 32 slots taken up with armor *_* and thats not counting consumables...
Thafonz Nov 19th 2008 8:15AM
Well i play a Shaman so i personally would not buy it, But a second hearthstone is always good ask yourself am i going to be travelling beetween Org/Stormwind and Dalaran or would i rather the money.
Thats just my opinion anyway.

I would say both the mammoth and the ring are worth it.
Where "it" isn't their cost, it's waiting until you are exalted with the Kirin Tor. Particularly as a caster as, well, that's what you should rep up with first anyway.

If you truly did buy the Dreamcast of rings, you made the right choice.
