Party tomorrow

Saturday, July 17
Twisting Nether realm
4 PM server time (US central time)
beach by Auberdine

I'll try to be on at least an hour early. For Alliance, just /who chenn to find any of:
Mainchenn
Altchenn
Ctrlchenn
Shiftchenn
I can add you to the guild, which will allow you to get clothes, pets, toys, and fireworks from the guild bank, plus a couple of gold. I can also bump you up in rank so you can add people to the guild if you want.

Horde might be able to whisper Reinisch, but since he's on the beach at Auberdine already and he's level 2, he won't be much help.

I assume Alliance players can get to Auberdine easily.

For Horde, the easiest way is:
Go to Grom'gol in Stranglethorn Vale from Orgrimmar or Undercity zeppelins. Go outside and get killed. As a ghost, run north to Stormwind and get to the docks and take the left (southernmost) boat; that dock has an Elf arch over it. The boat will take you to Auberdine, still as a ghost. Just a bit north of Auberdine, between the shore and the road is a graveyard. You can rez there and follow the road south. Just after passing the fork to Auberdine, go towards the shore.

Party next Saturday, July 17th

Unless lots of people object, I think I'll have the "ding 80/goodbye Auberdine" party 8 days from now, on Saturday, July 17th.
4 PM realm (central) time

(Note: I had Saturday as July 16th, it's the 17th)

I already have my Horde alt, a level 2 Reinisch on the Auberdine beach, and it's safe for horde there, at least from NPCs. He's by the half-buried & burned catapult just south of the flightpath dock.

Lots of party stuff if you're alliance, horde will have to be BYOB.

Here's a shot on the beach:




My pacifists seem to tend towards a favorite outfit.

Mainchenn was a cook once he got the chef's hat

Noor wore tanky stuff for WSG flag running, but ended up with the most outfits:

Tanky

Cook

Fairy

Pirate

Fisher



Reinisch managed to buy the rare Mechbuilder's Overalls (green) from the AH and caught the sea turtle, so he's a fisherman


28 XP to level 80

I'm just 28 XP away from dinging 80.

Ding party not set yet, I want to find out if issue #2 of wow magazine will be out soon, since Noor (and maybe Mainchenn) will be in it.

UPDATE: It seems issue #2 was out a couple months ago.

Total time played: 28 days, 14 hours, 14 minutes (or so)
Calendar time: Sept 9 2009 to July 8, 2010 -- 10 months

I'm thinking about doing it once more when Cataclysm comes in. Depending on whether Blizzard adds low-level daily quests that a pacifist can do, I might try to do a hermit pacifist -- that is, no interaction with other players (no auction house), only vendors. Probably imitate Gutrot and also play naked, since pacifist quests can usually be done without armor. Maybe even no primary professions, depending on the quest situation.

Here are the quests Mainchenn did to get from level 78 to 80 - delta:
