October 14 has finally come and it's time for Grommash's Iron horde to start it's foray into Azeroth.
The patch implementation has been smooth and all I had to do was really wait for the files to finish initializing in battle.net and it was time to throw myself at the pre-patch.
First impressions was how things got lively in our capital cities with people buzzing about the changes. To my delight, I had my challenge gear mounts sent to me and my valor, honor and justice converted to gold.
I went through the fun process of converting stuff I had in my bank into toys for the toy box and retiring MOP items. It's funny though, I didn't expect some items like the overgrown lily pad to change into the wilted lily pad. It is a symbiosis item for sale pve'ing but it's not a loss since I rarely used it.
What I enjoyed seeing in particular was Khadgar return to the front line of the story. I remember him like this...
Forcefully aged and hanging around Shattrah. They had a cool pic of him up in the battle.net site but his 3D sprite didn't do him justice. Well not until the pre-patch
He's now a battle hardened mage with a gritty look that reminds of the characters of warhammer. Old gritty men whose seen hard times. I'm looking forward to more fun experiences. Oh blizzard... Let's have fun..
