I suppose you can do pet battles, trainers are in the major cities. You could also level through the panada starter zone on a new character. All of the new zones/dungeons/scenarios are on another continent (like TBC/Northrend) and that keeps it off limits for people who haven't upgraded. The quest is auto-triggered when you upgrade and log in or when you walk into your faction leader's room (Wrynn or Garrosh's room) once you've paid your monies.

Don't bother hitting the AH, there are vendors in the zone that have level appropriate gear that you can purchase for a few gold. The NPC is typically at one of the first quest hubs in each areas. If you had gear even remotely good at the end of Cata (looking for raid) then there's nothing you can buy that would be worth equipping -- Heroic T13 lasts well into the final leveling zone.

Thanks for the reply, the problem is i didn't get to the end of cata i thought it was boring, i loaned my account out to a friend when i wasn't using it so the gear is not the complete worst but it's not good either in comparison: see here: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/aggramar/Forcer/simple

I'm probably going to have to pay the money as the 7-day free trial has lots of restrictions, can't even talk in the general channel or message my old friends on my list. I was trying to beg people for money but cant :(

Stormwind city trade district seems like a ghost town now, where does everyone hang out?

Your gear is a bit rough, but you're about 3 hours from a complete reset anyway. Deepholm rewards are better than ICC heroic raid gear (including the legendary) and you can go there at 82: I wouldn't worry about it. You should make around 10k after expenses just leveling to 90.

If people are idling they're probably doing it in Pandaria - they have two faction capitals in the middle of the continent and they're close to stuff you actually want to do (raids, black market auction house, daily quests, world bosses) with portals to the old cities if you want them.

ahh so i take it i can't go there until i've bought the expansion? Just going to bite the bullet and buy it i think.

I'm trying to move forward leveling but can't find a quest, someone told me i would find something on the hero's board in stormwind but not there either.

Thanks, i'm getting there.. after going to Vashir i couldn't find any quests that would get me through i think the chain has messed up somewhere i kept drowning, it was an annoying slow process so i left.. i'm now dungeon queueing until i get to level 52 then i'll hit deepholm. I've got cata and activated the free trial of Pandaria for now.

You don't just run out there - there's a whole quest line that gets you unlimited underwater breathing and fast movement speed.

head to stormwind and try to have a chat with the king. he should have something for you.

I tried that, there was nothing, he only had a low level quest available.. it's ok now anyway i'm back on track i hit 52 and picked up the quest for deepholm on the hero board.

Is the game still any fun? I logged back on and levelled my mage to 87 and had moderate fun questing and queuing for dungeons but it seems to have lost its allure from so many years ago. Is end game really run at 90 like it has been in previous expansions?

Hi, i've hit lvl85 so i dropped the rest of my quests visited SW and got the quest for Pandaria.. what is the best way to handle it from here on? i'm not big on questing so should i be looking for a guild now? is it advised i complete Pandaria quests to 90? I've got the raid finder now, although never raid'd before... is it better to come across dungeons and such in the quest sequence or use the finder? I just spent the entire day getting to 85 and need a break from questing, just not sure if it's a good idea to not do them? Gear seems pretty useless now as i've died a few times on the first part.

Dont use the raid finder til 90, all you can do is Dragon Soul, and no one does that anymore. Questing is the fastest way to 90 and I would advise getting in any guild for the small xp bonus, it will save you on having to do more questing later on. I would do each Pandaria dungeon at least once so you can do the quests inside them, they give tons of xp.

I've hit 90 and completed the questing area's for Pandaria... I'm now starting to prepare to find a guild and get raiding.. i'm wondering what is the best professions at 90? I've leveled herbalism which only brings a haste boost and the gathering itself doesn't bring much i'm not even getting much on the AH for my herbs.

I was thinking something like blacksmithing and engineering.. but only have 3000 gold, not near enough to level them, i'll need to make a lot of gold fast or stick with mining and collect as many mats as possible and then switch professions, probably looking at a couple of weeks work here though.

Should i be queuing for raids now, most of my gear is pre-raid, i'm not even close to hitting the cap on my hit/expertise. I'm at a bit of a loss.. http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/aggramar/Forcer/simple

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
