This is a vague question, and to be honest, I haven't researched this question at all.


Will gold be worth even less in terms of trading virtual gold for real life currency upon the full release of WotLK?

[Bioerrior]

PMed you the folder, Bio.

1 Gold in Lich King will be worth less than 1 Gold in TBC, yes. There are quests at 80 that give 30g for completing, and dailies that net anywhere between 20-24g, so yeah, gold will be worth less. My guess is 1000g now will be the price of 2100g in the expansion, just based off of the amount earned per questing.

Hello Mr. Doc,

Im wondering since you played warrior.
Have you tried dualwielding two-handers?
Of so how did experience it.. Fun, Quests, PvP, DPS-wise..
Do you think dualwielding 2handers will be better in PvP then just wielding 2hander.

Also the new skills/talents we got what do you think about those and also explain why please !

Thanks in advance

I can't give you a real answer on that, I have been playing while Dual Wielding the equivalent of the S4 Sword and Mace, and right now it's definitely superior to Arms for PVP and PVE, but Blizzard has said on the beta forums that as of now it's too overpowered and they're probably going to be adding a counterweight to it. The playstyle is still the same as your average Fury warrior, aside from adding Slam into your rotation after BT, normally I'll do BT -> WW -> Slam -> HS and then repeat, and it's a lot of fun, just don't know how long it will last.

How much does the mounts costs?

Cold Weather Flying costs 950g.

No newer mounts are on Beta yet, as far as I know.

What do you think of the DK?

[The Doctor]

thats bullshit u cant have 80 cause level cap is 77 it says on the patch notes

The level cap was raised to 80 in build 8820.

What do you think of the DK?

Death Knight starting zone is really one of the best things that Blizzard ever did for the class. Everything from seeing the old players from Naxx to the end event where you abandon the Lich King is just so well done and a lot of fun.

As for Death Knights themselves they got a bit of a nerf this patch, and while I only played one up to 64, a friend of mine says the nerf hurt them pretty badly, although before that they were insanely overpowered and were soloing elites 2-3 levels above them. They are a very fun class, and in PVP they're still very dangerous even with their nerfed damge. My guess is that while right now the damage coefficients are down, they're going to get buffed up a bit in a future patch.

Are there a lot of new mount models? I think all the epic flyer's in TBC look unappealing, so I've been wondering about this for awhile.

what kind of rep does dk's start with @ major factions such as ogrimmar, undercity e.g

How hard is it to level?

[Clovian]

Well seeing as how the OP isnt replying I dont want to hijack the thread but ill answer a few questions.

right now its not insanely hard to level and there is more then enough quests to make it easier. and since there are two starting zones you can always do both.

currently takes about 7 hrs a level for me, fastest level was 5 hours.
