Dalaran as in...near Tarren Mill and South Shore Dalaran?

I did run by and notice a big hole...thanks!

I'll look it up on a map. Mine is inconveniently uncommunicatively on the subject.

Ya, that's where it used to sit. :p
 
That stinking "Higher Learning" achievement. Northrend server went down....comes back up and every book respawns at once. Out of 8 books, only 1 is real, and wouldn't you figure, it is a book that i already read. :mad:

Would that more human cities looked like the Dalaran Crater...

That said, wow, Stormwind is impressive. The Deeprun Tram is slick.

It's nice to play one of everything to get the idea of what they're fightin' for on both sides.

Lots of awesome content, that's what.

Absolutely.

Recidiva and MIS managed to convince me to start Alliance toons and actually play them. Mostly because MIS wanted to "play something pretty". I guess she's in line with Satindesire there.

Anyway, I made a human, and logged in, and, wow, heart rate picked up as I found myself surrounded by humans. Even worse, a load of them looked like those Theramore bastards that I've been hunting lately. There was even a guild called "Theramore Marine Corps" doing military roleplay.

Yeah, I was looking for my wand button and wondering where the hell big blue marshmallow was.
:eek:
 
I'm waiting to get more concepts. People expressed interest, but haven't PM'ed me. We've got the board set up,a nd some intros started, but need players to actually jump in and play.

Okay. I need to get my ass in gear about this and so many other things. On the up side it seems I've not missed much.

:rose:

Has she tried on a Draenai yet? The women are amazing, and have the most gorgeous, sexy legs and hips you'll see out of the choices.

She's still on her trial period account. Let her get the base box first, then we'll think about BC later.

Gotta love the horns.

I think Drannies are adorable.

First time I found the tram I was Impressed.

Dalaran sometimes is unplayable for me (peaktimes) as I only get 1-3 fps.
 
Dalaran is pretty, but it is also pretty laggy. I did buy a port out there and then backtrack my way across the continent without dying. I love feign death. My poor pet.
 
Grrrr


i am almost done with the "Higher Learning" achievement. This morning, i needed to get 5 more books and have found 4 today, so far. i have been "camping" the last book. It spawns in the Dalaran Visitor Center.

Of the 3 times it has spawned, while i have been online, all three times it has been a "fake." It is scheduled to go "on the clock" again at about 1:20 am PST. On the clock means that from that point, it could spawn anytime within the hour. i am getting quite frustrated waiting around 3 to 4 hours only to find out it is a "fake" book.

Oh well, at least i only need one. :p
 
What are the book achievements?

I just got my first cooking and fishing daily done. Go Monsterbelly! Go Stew!

So I get the little ribbon thingies and I can buy recipes in Dalaran?

Tricksy.
 
"Higher Learning Achievement"

OH YA....Woot...finally got it this morning. Just in the "nick of time" too. Last time i checked the book around 2:30 PST to find a "fake" book. A friend of mine and i are trying to complete the achievement, with the same book, found in the Dalaran Visitor Center. i told him i was going to set my alarm to check it in the morning...he says don't bother...i say, ya i'm going to bother because with my luck, if i don't, it will be the "real" book...So i log out of the game, at that time, in the visitor center.

When my server resets it is 3 am and all the books will go "on the clock" in 3 hours. So anytime between 6 am and 7 am "a" book will spawn. Could be real, could be fake. Well, i set my alarm this morning for 6 (only to sleep through it till 6:30):rolleyes:. So i hurriedly log into the game and lo and behold there is a book on the floor next to the table. i hover my mouse over it and it is the REAL book. :cathappy: YAY i silently yell to myself. Finally. i then click on it and, no lie, about 20 seconds later it despawns. Talk about close, lol.

So now, i have a little Kirin Tor Familiar of my own. :D

He's so cuuuuute. :heart:

What are the book achievements?

It's an achievement called "Higher Learning." There are 8 books scattered all over Dalaran that cover the subject of "Arcane Magic."

Here's a list of the titles and their locations:

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Introduction]
Location: Violet Gate (Crystal Portal)(56,46), First floor, to your right as you enter (northern bookcase) on the floor in front of bookcase.

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Necromancy]
Location: Legerdermain Lounge (46,39), Upstairs west bedroom room with 4 beds, on the empty bookcase.

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Transmutation]
Location: Legerdermain Lounge (46,39), 1st floor western bookcase near the door by the stove.

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Conjuration]
Location: Violet Citadel (30,46), First floor, two bookcases on the right as you go in, Bottom of the left bookcase.

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Divination]
Location: Violet Citadel (26,51), Up the stairs to the left, on the floor in front of the bookcase, next to the sands of time portal.

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Enchantment]
Location: Threads of Fate (Cloth Armor shop)(43,47), Go up stairs out on the balcony on top of a crate to your right, as you walk out onto the balcony.

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Abjuration]
Location: Dalaran Visitor Center (52,55), on the floor to the right as you go in, in front of the little table with books on it.

[The Schools of Arcane Magic – Illusion]
Location: Violet Hold (64,52), as you go in head to the left and against the wall on the left crate, next to Archmage Timear.

Once you find all 8 books, you receive another "book" in the mail. Click on it and it ports you to a very high tower above the Violet Citadel. Talk with Archmage Vargoth and he gives you your little Kiron Tor Familiar. He looks just like the warlock's void walker only he's very tiny and is a purpley pink color. :)

On another note, it helps if you use a "book channel," a special channel created to keep track of the books and their spawn times. Every server is different. Ask in trade chat if there is a channel dedicated to finding the books in Dalaran.

Good luck to all who try. Took me 6 days.

Very cool. Thank you! This was partially set off by a bunch of people playing the "in bed" game by clicking on the book title followed by "in bed" on the trade channel. Prompting me to giggle then get annoyed and turn the channel off.

Or as it shall henceforth be known, "the day Microsoft raised the bar and pissed on Sony's bonfire once and for all". I think I came a little when I heard the "!" noise, and that's not to mention some of the other sweetest sweetness like Splinter Cell, Crackdown 2 (I loved the original), LEFT 4 DEAD 2 IN NEW FUCKING ORLEANS. Lord in Heaven it is a good time to be an XBot.
 
I'm so happy. Husband and I - 70 and 66 paladin - just two-manned the Paladin swift mount quest in Scholomance. PURDY HORSIE!
