What, he gets to use my full name but I can't use his? Thanks for covering for me yesterday, Alex. Red-eye flights suck.
Raful asked:
I don't know if this have been answered before, but will the honor and justice points that we get at level 80 be reset when we're at 85?
They won't reset, though the cap of 4,000 may be lifted when Cataclysm launches, since that's only like ... an item and a half, with badge gear prices at 85 in mind.
Cocoboom asked:
Which features can worgen change in the barbershop?
They can change hair style, ears/facial hair, and pelt color.
Scott asked:
I've noticed on my battlegroup that we have a lot new realms appearing in BGs as well as dungeons. Did Blizzard finally open up the cross-ream stuff to be larger then just our BGs? Or am I just seeing things?
Battleground and dungeon finder matchmaking is now region-wide instead of battlegroup-wide. You should have a much larger pool of available players to vote-kick from PUGs now.
jbg asked:
In addition to tabards for worgen and goblin rep, will we also be able to do cloth turn-ins like for old city reps?
All cloth turn-in NPCs have been removed from the game as of Cataclysm, so no.

What happened to the mobile version of the site? 99% of the time I read WoW Insider, it's on my iPhone, all my bookmarks are set to i.wow.joystiq.com, and today they all started redirecting to the main site, which is extremely cumbersome to read on an iPhone screen (not to mention longer load times).
What gives?
Heleos Nov 14th 2010 6:04PM
So how do you gain Stormwind faction now?
Aitron Nov 14th 2010 10:53PM
Through quests, or doing Argent Tournament dailies, using Champion Seals to purchase the vouchers (can't remember the name of them) to turn in to the SW person in the pavilion for rep.

What's happening to the "For the Alliance/Horde" achievements? It appears to be uncompletable for the alliance since Thrall gave leadership to Garrosh and is no longer killable, and Garrosh doesn't count for the achievement, as far as I can tell without going there and killing him. Will this be updated with Cataclysm? Will the horde have to kill all three dwarf leaders if it is?
Drakkenfyre Nov 14th 2010 6:44PM
You have to wait.
Yes, it will be updated.

You leave her alone, because with your attitude once you "nail it", you are likely to treat her like shit, or leave her.

Question: If my computer is currently running really well in wrath since the last patch, shouldn't it work ok for Cataclysm? The reason I ask is that I have an older computer and I'm worried about wether it might not work anymore when Cata hits. However, it recently occurred to me that many of Cata's changes have already occurred. So shouldn't I be ok if my machine is doing really well now? By really well I mean that I hardly ever d/c and my fps never falls below 15 in 25 man icc.
Drakkenfyre Nov 14th 2010 10:52PM
All the technical upgrades have already occured. The only thing that might give you trouble is if you enter a zone, and it's graphically much higher than other ones, then that might give you some problems.
Msterblaster Nov 14th 2010 8:35PM
Is that pet from the new archeology profession?!?!?
Skarn Nov 14th 2010 9:53PM
Yes.
Erik Reynolds Nov 14th 2010 11:13PM
If I have 2 computers, 1 with just Vanilla WoW installed and the other with everything current, can I play the old world area pre-Cata on one computer then log in on other computer and play the area as it is in Cataclysm?
Tri Nov 15th 2010 8:18AM
The world will change for everyone. On your vanilla account, you will just not be able to level past 60 (or play draenei, belf, worgen or goblin etc etc etc)

What is going to happen to Wailing Caverns now that Naralex is awake and his magic can be seen throughout the Barrens? I know the instance is being reduced but will we see new encounters?
Xantenise Nov 15th 2010 2:03AM
With Cataclysm coming, how will we be able to get the pug pet?
Kendaluk Nov 15th 2010 2:57AM
Question:
We have been plaining an early morning raid for three weeks now, to finally finish off "For The Alliance"!
We had a 6am raid planned for next Thursday as our last attempts during the day have been unsuccessful, the problem is we only had Thrall to kill, with the achievement not been updated yet will we still be able to get the achievement after killing Garrosh?
Days Nov 15th 2010 3:41AM
A vitally important question for a Loremaster/Explorer wanderer type (read "gets lost easily") like me. Are the vendors on the back of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth upgraded in Cataclysm to have the latest round of food, drink and reagents? Or have I know got a real white elephant?
Cheers,
Days.

Am I the only one to have read the post title as 'Alexander Q Ziebart, I choose you!'
Milgrams Nov 15th 2010 9:42AM
Has there been any announcement official or otherwise about the "best" place for a current level 80 to start leveling to 85? I know there are a lot of new quests in older zones and I was wondering if it was worth the time to go back and start there or just jump in to a completely new zone. Sorry if I missed this elsewhere.
mcfdash Nov 15th 2010 11:07AM
I was wondering, remember the news about Cairne being murdered by Garrosh? Well is that still going to happen? All this stuff is happening, and Garrosh was left to play with Orgrimmar but Cairne is still alive.
Vazpucci Nov 15th 2010 12:18PM
I haven't done Blackfathom Depths in forever, but I remember it took awhile when doing it. (I haven't really done it since Vanilla) It seems like an instance that would require some work, I think it's confusing in some areas and could use some clean up.
