I’ve got a strong itch in a dark area.

And Blizzard would like to scratch that itch for you.

I don’t know, but the mailbox=>ATM machine idea is smart! The only thing is I thought your mail will disappear after 30 days?

Depends on class.

There have been occasional items at 74 that have given me pause. No upgrades yet, for sure, but there are some fantastic items. If you’re in a full set of T4 and Karazhan weapons, as a rogue, you’d be at LEAST half replaced by 74 depending on what you’ve been doing. Note: I’m in 2T5, a T6 and badge gear.

If you include Nexus and Utgarde you’d have replacements for your Karazhan weapons (presuming Malchazeen/Unrequited (or Ripper) as well as a new pair of boots, a belt and maybe a BP. All replaceable without dropping your 2pT4 bonus.

I don’t know of a class/spec’s T4 gear that’s not partially replaced after 72 from quest items and the 2 level-appropriate instances. Any specifics?

@ Prokofy Basically you store stuff in the mail to get around the fact the banks are only located in major cities whereas you can find a mailbox in any town.

@ D-one The green loot from quests is not better than Kara gear, the Blue rewards can be on par/slightly better depending on what it adds but in cases where it is better its not better by much. I replaced the Worgen claw necklace with a Blue neck item from a UK quest and I picked up a Blue chest piece from a boss but it’s not actually better for my current spec (Feral kitty spec) as my DPS goes down with it.

you store items in game email, for a variety of reasons, it is done on many games, nothing new.

one of the simple reasons is there are far more mailboxes in games than there are banks. think of the mailboxes as ATM machines.

The moment you char-gen a Death Knight all is pretty much forgiven.

Looking forward to Wintergrasp though.

The moment you get behind the wheel of a seige tank all is forgiven and you will wonder why you ever even thought of trying WAR in the first place. Oh, and Prok, you wouldn’t know a game even if you accidentally sat on a joystick.

P.P.P.S. Go sit on a joystick.

Whine, whine, whine. This is nothing compared to the Wrath of the Land King over at the game Second Life, where the most popular product, the openspaces sims, got their prices jacked up 67 percent.

I don’t know why you all bitch so much. I saw all these people waiting in line at the Best Buy. I even allowed my son to go out late on a school night to get in line, he convinced me it was a historic event. He came back with posters signed by the devs, some kind of steed, a hat, and the game, of course, which he continues to play unless I hide the router. While there was all that server stuff going on, first he got the free thingie that you weren’t supposed to get (and I’m glad it is confirmed here that you PURCHASE it with something LIKE coins, as some nit tried to claim I had gotten this wrong on my blog) — then he just played Spore until it was ready.

You all need more games to play.

P.S. Why would you store loot on game email? that sounds dumb, wouldn’t it be better to put it on a mule?

P.P.S. No, you will never get me to play WoW.
