gnomeDK – Your Pink Haired Guide to All Things Death Knight

The madness continued over the weekend, though the capital cities never became fully shut down like I expected. Oh they came close, with the infection time lowered to 1 minute, high level zombies spawning and entering capital cities, and most of the Argent Healers removed from the cities. Luckily the world attacks by floating necropolises have helped distract much of the player base away from the cities as well.

Now we have a full blown event going on, complete with special vendor items and Karazhan level epic drops. The plot thickens with the Alliance and Horde setting up research areas outside the Aldor bank in Shattrath City. There are new instance bosses. We even have player grieving in the form of people stealing the tap on Shadow of Doom other players summon.

I know not everyone is fond of a world event that they are forced to participate in, but I’m really liking it myself. Being a zombie is fun, fighting off the zombies is fun, and running the quests and other events is fun. The more unique toys and trinkets are cute and clever. There are only two things I’m not loving about the event. One, if you miss a day in game you could miss some stuff. That isn’t great for the less hardcore players, and a lot of us regular players were spending less time in game with the wait for the patch. Two, and this is the big thing for me, almost none what I do and gain now can have any impact on my death knight. I’m switching mains in just over two weeks but everything is BoP or limited time quest or achievement. I understand, just would be nice if my rogue could collect some neat things for my death knight. I did at least find one thing I could pass on to my death knight: Haunted Memento. That should confuse some people in the starting area.
