Life at 85

Most of us, including myself, have now reached level 85. The leveling experience was very enjoyable, and it would turn out that Uldum, apart from being a great zone in general, was even more of a ganker's paradise than Mount Hyjal was. As expected I took extremely few screenshots, in fact I've just taken one from Uldum (seen to the right), and it's hardly an exciting one - one of these days I will learn...


Bad news for those who were looking forward to enjoy Ramkahen's endless supply of enemy players:
It is still possible to gank in Ramkahen if you know where you're safe from guards (i.e. same as before except larger parts of Ramkahen are guarded).

Not doing it right











My ui isn't as it used to be because the MoveAnything addon is being a dick. I am working on it.

The little circle north of Ramkahen is a minor quest hub called 'Seal of the Sun King'.

I have been meaning to post links to some sites I think are somewhat interesting:

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/941589/ - official realm forums

http://ravenholdt.eu/ - unofficial realm forums

http://www.youtube.com/user/RatslayerProductions - my youtube channel

http://zyloshand.globalcontrol.biz/home - for the wpvp pie chart

http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/ - PTR notes and interesting 'Blue' quotes
Now I will do battlegrounds for honor, heroics for gear and Tol Barad for pleasure. Don't hesitate to contact me if there's anything you'd like to know (ingame, here or on my youtube channel). Happy slaying.

Cataclysmic slaying

Hail rats and ratslayers!

It's been a great launch so far. Like-minded slayers joined the /catagank channel in order to provide communication throughout the levels which was immensely helpful when stalling rats on their way to level 85. Pandamonium, err I mean, Katakaclysm joined Dark Saints in time for the expansion, no doubt in order to gain the much needed protection from its members when climbing the ladder towards the realm's first 85. 


The irony in this is of course that he, among indeed most of Ravenholdt, loathes Parashade - if one is to believe the content of his awesome videos, that is, wherein he every now and then states that Parashade is a noob - a fact refuted by no one.

Either way, without further ado I present to you a movie containing some Deepholm slaying.
Enjoy the shitty quality and content.



And here below is Pandamonium seemingly locked in deep thought. Pondering his choice of protectors, perhaps? On a more serious note, it is evident that it will be hard to level when you have a certain amount of people after your skin, but the real question is perhaps whether the diversion of the name and guild change made the situation worse.


 Or indeed the real irony here is perhaps that the ratslayers put such effort into stalling the rats from getting realm first 85, only to see it go to Válkirie, who faction transferred mere days before the Cataclysm? It also makes you wonder, was the real reason for the whole Accidentally guild changing faction just that, to avoid the ratslayers? Maybe we will never know - but we will have to be content for now knowing that a current rat didn't achieve the feat. 

On that note, I will continue leveling and slaying as I go along.
