Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 006 – Were you prepared January 20, 2007 Segment I.    What’s Going On A.    Can I have your attention please - B.    Installing and running Burning Crusade – success C.     My train was late into Chicago, Amtrak was nice, they put us up in a hotel, but that meant I wouldn’t be getting home on Monday night as I planned.  I would have had just enough time to get in line at Ebgames and pick up the 2 copies I had reserved.  So Sunday night I’m stuck in Chicago trying to figure out how to get my copies of BC.  I would be on the train for almost 24 hours once I left Chicago Monday night, so there would be no way to get it.  Could I ask my husband to go to Ebgames Monday night and stand in line?  I don’t think so. No. 1.    Very very painless.   The installation took went pretty fast.  Four disks, a 163 mb patch, then a 4.3 mb patch and then that opening screen No. 2.    I started a blood elf and of course the starting area was jam packed.  But there was no lag and it was like Time Square on New Year’s Eve.  People were dancing and flirting and laughing to try out all the new emotes. D.    I was able to mail items to my Burning Crusade character and invite her to the guild from a character on the non updated side. E.    I don’t have an alt over 55, so no Outlands for me.  I was excited about getting my 47 Hunter Leatherworker over 300.  I went to the Tribal Leatherworker trainer in Strangethorn Vale and picked up some new recipes but it turns out to go over 300, she has to go to Outland and find a Grand Master Trainer in, yep you guessed it, Outland F.    Burning Crusade – A success in my bookSegment II.    WoW News A.    Topping the 8 million mark B.    nSegment III.    Alt Round Up – A.    Who’s Doing what No. 1.    I’ve been mostly busy with the twins, Zee and Pril, brother and sister Blood Elves, same coloring and hair.  Zee male rogue and Pril female hunter.  They’ve been leveling mostly in Eversong Woods.  One thing I like to do is sometimes grab the first profession handy.  This way they can begin to make stuff and then unlearn it and learn the ones they really want.  So Pril got alchemy from that alchemist at the party at Saltheril’s Haven and Zee got herbalism there as well.  So he was able to pick up some bloodthistle.  He had already gotten Jewelcrafting from the trainer in the inn in Falconwing Square in the Ruins of Silvermoon.  I got them both up to 10 and Pril got pet taming, there’s a quest at Farstrider Retreat, not to be confused with Farstrider Square, which is in Silvermoon.   No. 2.    Prilfire got the guild and turned it over to Aprillian (was able to get Aprillian again on Alleria) and she designed the new tabard, an octopus representing the many alts. No. 3.    Prilfire made a couple of things, ironfeather No. 4.    Pryl in Westfall No. 5.    Illia making money – No. 6.    Sent a 3 storage alts to Silvermoon City via the Translocator in UC – Aranxcha, Miasha and Theeo (actually Theeo’s a level 17 but he also had all the cooking supplies for leveling cooking) .  They were able to help better leather pants and shirts, some weapons and supplies. No. 7.    Sent Rillia my level 36 Rogue Blacksmith/Enchanter to give a couple of boosts.  Particularly speed to boots.  But it’s kind of tricky with two accounts.  Rillia is on the account with Zee so she could enchant Pril’s stuff, but not Zee.  Zee’s stuff had to be traded to Pril, echanted by Rillia and then traded back to Zee.  Ooh and Rillia had over 30 bars of silver so she gave a bunch to Pril to give to Zee and now Zee No. 8.    So now Zee and Pril are pretty set up, nothing to special but a few enchants and nice gear and they are out questing heading towards Ghostland, a few quests in Tranquillium and then back to Silvermoon City when I decided Pril needs Ressan the Needler as a pet.  So they both went through the Translocater and out into Trisfal Glades where they picked up some quests in Brill and headed into the forest.  The first time Pr
