World of Warcraft Honor System Live

Posted by Zonk on from the tread-carefully-young-warrior dept.

Available now from the World of Warcraft Patch servers, the Honor System has been put into production. The Patch Notes are available on the official site and besides the Honor System includes new art, bug fixes, and new live events in Kalimdor and the Gurubashi Arena. There will also be, starting in May, a "Children's Week" celebrated in Orgrimmar and Stormwind. "It is a time to give back to the innocents of war: the orphans!"

    How can you be an orphan when your parents respawn every 10 minutes?

    Well, at least they can't blame this lag on naked night elves dancing in front of the Auction House. Take that patch notes and website server.

    Download went fine at least. But, it'll be live when I can log in, get booted, sit through a week-long extended downtime, fight with the authentication server, and finally get credited 24-hours of gameplay and full rest state. That might be sometime next week.

    If you play, say, a troll, do you still have to follow the honour system?

    My poor level 32 mage won't know what hit him.. Nor will the level ~30s that run into him.

    So I go home happy, tonight.

    Woot! I can't wait! I have mail coming in. Auctions going off. Guildies to see. Quests to complete and/or turn in. Yesterday was awesome, and tonight's been all planned out!

    I open WoW and discover a new patch is on it's way to my machine. Oh, GOODIE!

    ... wait ... downloading.
    ... wait ... patching.
    ... wait ... (remember) time to recover/reconfigure UI mods.
    ... wait ... reconnect after 1 hour in the queue. [WUPS! disconnected from server]
    ... wait ... reconnect after 1 hour in the queue.
    ... and then, you guessed it, now we get to...

    ... wait for rez after being ganked.


    MAN, I'm stoked!
