The Early Bird...

I had planned to Upgrade my Feral Druids account and apply a game card on the 15th when I get paid. As part of that plan, I wanted to see what characters I had and which servers they were on. I also wanted to look at the Scroll of Resurrection to see if I could pass on some free time to a friend. While checking this out, I logged into account management and found something rather interesting....

WotLK Free Trial.

It seems that there is a free 10 day trial available. The best part of this was I was able to activate all four accounts, sell of junk and gather my gold. I managed to scrape up around 500g. I was also able to empty out my mail boxes, which is required if I plan to transfer additional toons later on.

UI Setup.

The other bonus was being able to setup my UI in advance. When I had planned to start playing, Beld was going to join me. I could imagine that we would waste the majority of our first night just setting up my UI. Now all I have to do is Transfer my toon and copy a folder or two.

Medivh!

I plan to play on Medivh when I return. Though I have some good RL Friends on Nagrand, they raid and I really don’t see myself getting any real enjoyment with their toons carrying me through everything. I still have a few characters sitting on Medivh, so once I had finished setting up FTW, I logged onto Medivh. I still have a 20 Warrior, 16 Hunter and 40 Rogue. I have always wanted to get the hunter up so I decided I would use my Hunter as my Alt when Beld can't play. I managed to get three levels thanks to some guildies doing VC and Stockades Runs for their alts.

Not what I Thought.

While I was reading up on Paid Character Transfers I stumbled across this little gem.

Customers with expansion accounts cannot transfer characters to a non-expansion account. The reverse is accepted.

Now I always thought that if I was to transfer a toon from one of my other accounts, I would not only need to activate it, I would need the Xpack as well. Not the case. Though I am not sure if I need to activate the other account, it seems like I don't, at least I don't have to pay for a wasted Xpack.

Thoughts?

I am not completely happy with the Action Bar setup that I planned out. I think it may take some getting used to. As with most things I do, this blog included, I guess its just a Work in Progress.....
