Closing of Runes and Necromancy

[Kira13]

Edit: But how about an explanation as to what made you get these things out ?

A change in preparation for future changes. This was one of those things that would end up being more problematic in the future the longer we leave them open (because, again, we're not letting people play base Necro or RM after the next restart, whenever that is.)

Could this.. possibly mean that.. *eyes began filling with tears of happiness* we're thinking of going into Cata ?

[Wuvvums]

From what I hear we still have no plans for Cata yet, but this could save some trouble months later when Cata might be feasible.

It's a shame that Necromancy is going to be so strictly enforced again. It's weird that Arcanists can't specialize in that anymore, since it's basically just another school of magic.

I'd argue, but i'm sure there are reasons that i'm not fully informed about. And I strongly support knowing all the facts before I argue.

So i'll leave it at this:

Boo! Oh well. C'est la Vie, the only people who are strongly disappointed are those who just worked up the nerve to start making a profile for one.

And, and, and.. what would happen to those that started or are already Necromancers/Runemasters ?

Those who have already begun/finished Necromancer or Runemaster training or have posted profiles may continue as they are.

Is this no longer true?

Yes, though this was intended for those with already approved profiles by the time it was shut down. Any profiles that hadn't been approved yet wouldn't go through, unfortunately.

Apologies for this inconvenience.

[McKnighter]

... So.

We cannot play Necromancers, in any fashion, what so ever?

[FlyingSquirrel]

This was pre-restart. To my knowledge, you can now.

[Dukica]

This thread is long dead, I presume. So you may have awaken the evil of C'threadulu. Though I'm not sure as how the necro-time counter goes.

As to the question, I believe you still can't play them, as I remember something about living DKs not being able to RP post-restart. So it may be for Runemasters and Necromancers too.

[McKnighter]

However, you will not be able to use base Necromancer/Runemaster characters as they are when the next server restart eventually comes (whether it's for Cata or sometime earlier.) So, enjoy them while they last.

That's what I'm basing it off as. So, I dunno. I'm behind in the times.

You can play Necromancers as a mage variant class. Runemasters are also possible after a fashion, based upon the ingame inscription profession.

[PhilGobatto]

So, are the RMs unplayable yet?
I think that they could still be played, like, they seem like bare-handed warriors that use Inscription onto their bodies. If you look further into Mists of Pandaria, try to figure out a dwarven Monk using Inscription. That... Seems much like a Runemaster, don't you think?
DHs were recently closed because there were many people trying to be one. But I see no RMs in-game. Maybe... Maaaaybe there is room for some yet?

[Krilari]

This was fairly long ago, before the variant situation. Now with the variants, Runemasters and Necromanceds are allowed once more.
