***Official Wrath of the Lich King Thread***(Contains spoilers)***

It's official that the Deathcharger drop is now exactly 1%, or a 1 in 100 chance. It was raised just before Wrath was released back in 2008, a blue on one of the WoW forums clarified it and said yes, the drop chance has been raised. Basically it was Vanilla - 1 in 5000 chance, The Burning Crusade - 1 in 1000 chance, Wrath of the Lich King - 1 in 100 chance. So odds have improved significantly but I'm on my 45th run and no drop as of yet. It's getting tedious/horrible at this point as Strat is a pretty depressing instance to look at any way, so to keep running it over and over and over, well, lets just say if it drops I'm never going into Strat again, and if it gets into the hundreds of runs then I'll probably quit at some point.

Found the post, thanks for the pointer. That makes me feel slightly less special about getting it now XD

Wtb account-wide achievements for my vanilla titles :/

Yeah, I'm really reluctant to reroll because of all the achievements on main. Plus it doesn't help trying to get into pugs when your alt doesn't have achievement but main does.

I'm not too keen on this personally - you did it on one character, why should it apply to others? While I know it can be hard/impossible to get a PUG without the relevant achievement, you can normally get around it with a decent GS and stated knowledge of the instance.
My old main has the violet proto drake - I pretty much stopped playing on him as soon as I got it as that was my "aim" for him. My most recent main got Kingslayer a couple of weeks back - I cancelled my sub a few days later; as far as I'm concerned, I've "beaten WoW". I'll probably come back for Cataclysm, but more than likely on a new character.
While I love the fact that my old main has a ton of cool mounts, titles (25 or so) and unique items, I have no wish to see them available for a new character I create. I like them to be able to create their own identity rather than just sharing in something they never personally experienced. I do like having my pets account bound though, Lurky all round!
 
getting thoroughly bored of the game now so im gonna let my account run dry then let it collect dust as I wont be joining in with cataclysm. Got 7 level 80s on my bnet account, 6 of them are on an active account and all have icc gear. Its a shame really as I use to enjoy it but now I log in, realise I don't really want to do anything and log out lol.

shame we can't sell the sodding things

The problems with the old system are well documented and it was pure no life grind. I do have to admit i feel sorry for anyone who got the old titles and is going to lose some of the kudos from it. Anyone who effectively gave up 3 months of their life for that title deserves respect.

Took me more than 3 months!

I'm (repeatedly) running Stratholme at the moment for the Baron mount, done 31 runs/Baron kills over the past few days and I still haven't see it. It's got a 1 in 100 drop rate nowadays (as opposed to the previous 1 in 1000 during TBC and 1 in 5000 during vanilla), you get people going in and it dropping for them on the first few runs, you get other who have to run it over 100 times before it drops, but it's damn tedious and boring. I really can't be bothered anymore but then you think, 'maybe it will drop on the next' run, and so it goes on. It's all I'm doing in the game atm, cba with anything else.

Well I got mine on the 26th ever baron kill (based on achievement history), not sure the number of farm runs I did though. A guildie got it last weekend on his 15th or 16th kill and another guildie about a year ago got it within 30 runs too.

My friend (in the same guild too) ran it over the weekend and around his 34th kill the epic sword dropped! Half the guild had to point and laugh since he is a mage and couldn't use it!
 
Well, been slowly working up my rep with my main character. Exhalted with Argent Dawn, almost there with UC and silvermoon, currently working on oG and the trolls, which should push those two into exhalted anyway, its making a nice change, just running around and blatting things :D
Did manage to solo Stratholme with my 68 pally. Even made the 45 minutes! Well, technically. I killed his guards with 20 seconds left, no time to fully heal/mana up but I wanted the extra rep so I ran in with seconds to spare... and failed miserably! Ran back through to him, failed with strategy, did it once more and killed him, and still saved the girl! So as long as you start the fight before he kill sher, he forgets!

Not giving my other characters as much time now :(

Arghhh, have somehow been hacked in the period that I havn't played the game for about a year :(

Went to log into my account management today and it told me I had to merge my WoW account with a Battle.net account. Once I made the account and I attempted the merger, it just wouldn't accept the password for my WoW account which I know is 100% right. I tried to reset my password, but it's telling me that my WoW account is already bound to another Battle.net account :(

Been trying to recover it, but as I can't find my original CD-Key from 5 years ago, and the fact that Blizzard expects you to know the answer to your secret question without letting you see the question is making things difficult :(
