So in case you have been living under a rock, Ulduar is here! It is finally time to do and experience everything we have been reading about and looking forward to for the last several months! It is an exciting time to say the least.
I know I had developed quite a shopping list of things to do. So many, in fact, I am having a hard time deciding what my first stop will be when I can finally log on!
The Ulduar instance is obviously my number one priority, but I have a few stops I am going to make before I hit the zone it. I logged out at the trainer so I could pick up my dual-spec right away, after that I’m sure I will head to the AH and see how bad I am going to get gouged for new the glyphs.
Of course I will have to take some time to set up toolbars, gear, and glyphs for my new spec. Then I’m sure I will have to fight with some newly out-of-date add-ons.
Once I get all that house keeping squared away, I am heading straight into Ulduar-10! The idea is to see if I can get some boss tries in before our schedule Ulduar-25 run later tonight. I’m not going to lie, my guild is planning on hitting Ulduar 25 hard, so I imagine I won’t find much time for anything else once we get in there.
That being said, I definitely see the appeal of looking at some other stuff before charging right in. After all The Argent Tournament sounds like great fun, and of course doing some heroics with dual specs in place could present an interesting challenge.
There are lots of new directions to go! So what are you guys going to be up to the moment you log on?

FIRST just to make u mad
By daf on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
IDK judging by i dont think im geared enough for Uldar i will most likely try for win WG and try that new boss, that is if i ever get on to play today
By Kilendria on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
First thing, I’m logging onto my hunter and going spirit beast hunting
Then I need to get my shammy prepped for Ulduar 25… should have gotten all my consumables ready before I logged last night :/

Call me impatient but i hate waiting to get onto my realm…. these patches, they make me so happy yet so mad…. I really want to try out the new content, yet i cant get on cause of the maintenance… is there anyway they can fix all these things before they release it?
Realm = Bladefist

well my computer is having trouble downloading ulduar. but wats the point of DK with dual spec since i love blood and am no good at tanking, so 1000g saved. what I’m looking forward to the most is getting each of the new mounts. i mean they are gonna look awsome. even better than the normal main city mounts.
By Matt on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Good Luck Bastosa. Your guild will do good. I swear though, If i wasn’t such a hardcore Roleplayer, and your guild wasnt on a pvp sevrer, i’d so join you guys.
By Kevin on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
I’m excited for this patch and I’m glad that it is finally out, but I find that these content patches take way too long to download. I had family business to do today, so I started to download the Patch. I come back 2 and a half hours later and ive onlt downloaded 108mb of 724. well thankfully i dont have to redownload that but its frustrating that I wont be able to play my paladin tonight and get my charger ( it dinged level 60 on my Blood Elf Paladin , Volsung realm, Galakrond).
By kiley on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
assume the servers will actually be up sometime before tomorrow, i’ll be tackling a similar list of things to do.
By kieran on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
1st thing i will be doing is swimming in the water on my mount …
By Vayder on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
ill be happy when i can even do herics.lol im a very slow LVLer. most of my guild isnt anywhere near my lvl tho, so even when i hit 80 i have to go to PUGs for Herics.
By Vayder on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
oh almost forgot
FOR THE HORDE!

FOR THE ALLIANCE!

Ulduar is really exciting, however, playing a low level charecter and not seeing the raids and new stuff, i am really disappointed that Project Lore hasnt even gotten into Nax yet. Not having much time to put in the game i love watchin all the high level WOTLK stuff on project lore however dont the vids kind of keep getting slower and slower, whatever happened to Instance per week, (love the vids though thnx)

First thing for me was getting my one talent spec (stupid lack of gold…) back to where I had it, then after a few of my regular dailies I hit the tourney! Our guild is going after Ulduar but we want to do it at our own pace…
By Gerolden on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
im doing new Vault boss
By Alayea on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Argent Tournament, since it’ll be a piece of cake with my main having earned the “Ambassador” meta-achievement.
Heck, maybe I’ll get lucky and there’ll be offered an epic helm piece. Goodness knows you can’t get one from the heroic 5-mans…
By kstroud89 on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
I’m going to try to grin and bare it as I grind the last 5 levels to 80. Such a grueling task for a casual player.
By Hatell on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
First… lol I’m going to attempt to log on. As it doesn’t want me to. Then I’m checking out the fishing daily and just going about my regularly scheduled night. XD
By Marilin on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 1:49 am
DUDE! this is awesome i cant wait to be healer and shadow !!!!!!!!!! i am a priest ! this is so cool,first thing i will do is going to my class trainer and pay 1000g !
And i have a question….. we must pay 1k gold each time we want to respec? i mean im shadow and healer and i want to be disc and shadow …. i must pay 1k gold again ?
By WizardHawk on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 2:07 am
No, the 1000g is a one time charge to open up the dual spec system per character. As far as we know you pay the normal respec fee to dump/redo talent points based on how infrequently you do it.
By Richard on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 2:25 am
lol more content that keeps you stuck in your chair for months to kill each boss over and over for an epic (I sure don’t miss it hehe).
Goodluck with Ulduar 10/25man progress folks!
By gdzilla on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 2:49 am
Just FYI, the first link (pointing to the “Ulduar to here!”-post) has a “http://” too many, so it’s not working…
but hey, i guess we know where to find it

“I logged out at the trainer so I could pick up my dual-spec right away, after that I’m sure I will head to the AH and see how bad I am going to get gouged for new the glyphs.”
Bwahaha. I thought I was the only one doing this. XD

What is all this talk about new Vault boss?
By Cozmus on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 5:47 am
Well considering going to Ulduar wasn’t an option for me there wasn’t much of anything new to do when I finally logged on. Redid my tool bar and headed to the Argent Tournament basically. What a cluster that was. After finally finding the quest giver, (and being scolded by the general population for asking directions), I did the mounted training. It was fun. Would have been more fun if anything other that other players were visible on my screen. Picked up the quest that sends you to Westfall to locate the DK. Got to Westfall and the quest was erased from my log. Eh, I think tonight I’ll go back to leveling my professions.
By Magealitious on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 5:55 am
ulduar 25 already?
my guild just downed KT on 10 man, but the 10 of us who did it are going to give ulduar a try this weekend i think (after all we’re doing malygos tonight, what else is there to do? hehe)
By Kayaanai on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 6:36 am
Well first as a druid I must pick up dual-spec (I have even kept the 1kg on a bank alt just so I wouldnt be tempted to spend it) I am still in the process of getting Naxx 10 epics (only like 4 more to go) so I can go to 25 then eventually Uludar, unless I can get into a 10man. Thankfully my guild is still going to hit Naxx as hard as it has been for the past 3 months because I would hate to have to PuG it no matter how easy people think it is I still want my excellent chances on loot =P.
By Diogo on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 7:27 am
i’m going to do dailys at argent tournament…
By Barishi on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Started on 10-Man Ulduar last night. The vehicle part is a lot of fun and the 3 bosses after Flame Leviathan and their trash are beastly.
By Yvrael on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 10:16 am
ROFL ok first thing i was going to do was duel-spec, check. then fish up my turtle mount, check! teehee… then my gm decided we were going to 8-man ulduar10. well, half-check lol server shutdown mid-boss, lol. but so far OMG i love patch! (except for the stupid out of combat regen, ugh dropped from almost 2k to 600, fortunatly incombat isnt affected by the change in spirit. UGH!
By Shagg on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Pretty nasty changes to my tank DK. Were still getting members to 25mans in our guild and only KT and Maly left in 10 man normal so I think we wont go to Ulduar anytime soon.
By xxdeathangel on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
my guild hit ulduar 25man first, which means most of the guild wont be included in the run, which is ok i guess but i think we will be hitting 10 man sooner because we r having toruble with 25man
By Dulica on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I still have to hit 70! But I totally swam with my horse, and had to re-do my tree….and the duel spec will come some day when I’ve got a crap load of gold to actually pay for it!
By Jesus on Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at 2:57 am
My guild didn’t plan on doing Ulduar yesterday,we had OS 25-man on the GC, but when our GM didn’t login due to downloadin issues with the patch, we made a 10-man group and went to Ulduar. We downed Flame Leviathan, and almost downed Deconstructor, I even got a nice melee trinket http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45286. I got to hand it to Blizz, they’ve made a really fun raid, yet again! Hope my guild will make it in the 25-man today!
By Bucketface on Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at 7:41 am
Sadly, I’m still 78 about to ding 79, so I havn’t even started Heroics let alone Naxx or Ulduar
Nothing new for me except stackable ammo, dual-specs (going survival for second spec, BM first spec), and the new Spirit Beast, Gondria.
By Arrowsmith on Thursday, November 12th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
i want to see them do Ulduar. they are almost all geared for 25 man and pretty much what they want (the guild). my hunter is geared for Ulduar 10 and im awaiting the cool loot i will get there and then will move on to 25 man. if only they were on the Exodar realm, we could do that raid…
oh well- good luck guys!
