It is live now, sorry for the delay.

Sorry for the video problem. A hardware failure at our datacenter made it difficult to quickly address this. The hardware issue is resolved, so now we'll get the video back ASAP.

I didn't even get one of the erroneous emails. I don't think Bioware love me. :-(

So, I decided it'd be fun to fly next to the airfleet into Twilight Highlands. I quickly found out my Bronze Drake didn't eat its Wheaties or something, because the zepplins quickly outdistanced me. I was left with a fatigue bar quickly approaching dangerous levels. I flew for the shore and made it just as the damage kicked in. Whew.

But uh-oh, I didn't get credit for this part of the quest, so I can't pick up the followup.

I ended up having to hearth out to Deepholm (had been mining there), port back to Org, fly to Azshara, and ride the zepplin again. I did not have to abandon and reaccept the quest, the zepplin was waiting the for me when. Maybe I just got lucky with that part.

Morale of the story: let the Horde do the flying for you.

Personally, I'm thrilled with the WoW f2p, or unlimited trial, or whatever we want to call it. My oldest kid (nine years old) likes to create umpteen bazillion WoW characters, level 'em to around 10, then make a new one with a different hairstyle. She picks classes based on the clothes. :-)

With the new system, she can fiddle in lowbie areas to her heart's content without us having to negotiate who has the authenticator next and without me shelling out the extra cash for her to have her own account.

Even better, I can actually go run around with her in-game now and then, which was impossible when she was creating her throwaway toons on my account.

(And yeah, I know there are MMOs and other games for her age group. She plays 'em. But I play WoW so she wants to play WoW some too.)
