Conquest of the Horde

The 'official release date' for the Cata server should be sometime on Wednesday! This is mostly because that will be my other day off from work, and the rest of the week I'll have to be working! Therefore, I figured it'd be better to be sooner than later!

I'd highly recommend to get a Cata client if you haven't already! Check the Downloads section of the forums for assistance with that. On Wednesday, at some point I'll bring down the Cata server, wipe the characters database, then bring it up in a locked state as I look for any last changes needed (that I can find). Later on in the day, I'll unlock it and we'll begin the craziness of First Day Shenanigans!

As before, I must stress that the TrinityCata code is still considered to be in an Alpha state. However, because people have been so insistent on Cata, we're going with it anyway! If anything though, this can be an opportunity to provide potential bug fixes for the developers. I also need to remind folks that I cannot change existing prices for items (but I can add a currency requirement on vendors), nor can I otherwise edit normal items (they're all stored in data files now instead of in the database). Also, any custom things with characters (CMCs, potential half-breeds (character/'NPC'), etc.) will not be touched for now.

Remember that characters will start at level 60 on the Cata server! This means bronze tokens are a thing of the past! Once leveled up (with an approved profile), you'll have access to a couple vendors in the GMI manor on the bottom floor to get yourself geared up with a fair amount of ~il333 armor/weapons.

Starting at 60 you say?

Spoiler:

I shall weep bitterly for the extinction of the mighty tokens of yesterday.

..You know what's most sad? On the video I got an ad popping up advising psychology courses.

This is gonna be awesome.

Let me just clarify the implications behind stating this- you just mean that, until the tech side of Cata's a little more settled, nothing's going to be finalized or implemented? We can go ahead and keep discussing these things to our heart's content and all, right?

Correct Dae!
