Recently, we've been pushing through the 70s instances to help our new members level and some of us have been taking a little time off, but since we've been instancing every Saturday, I should also share some of those screenshots.

I realized today that the way we schedule and plan our dungeon events is somewhat unusual. Most guilds that do instance runs probably schedule them ad hoc. Instead, we do it more like a raiding schedule, and perhaps that's why it ends up working so well. So, I figured a peek behind the curtains would be fun.

The elation went to our heads and we decided to push our luck by taking on the Headless Horseman. Now, this is a level 70 seasonal boss for Hallow's End. He's not meant to be a pushover for a level 68 tank backed up by only two other players. He's not really meant to be easy. We smacked him down a grand total of 5 times (one of us had not picked up the daily, so he couldn't summon a second time) without breaking a sweat! It was tons of fun, and the first level 70 purples that these characters have seen.
There were only two down-sides: we only got the caster rings (though the pet and the broom both dropped once each) and we forgot to screenshot it. Oh well, back to it tonight to kick his butt and take some pics!

Today is the release of 3.0.2 and there's a landslide of info.
First off, start here because green is pretty: The 3.0.2 FAQ
Once you have your legs, you'll want to look at MMO Champion's excellent release announcement page, the full test realm patch notes (really long), and the MMO mirror of those notes.
There are major new features that you'll want to try out:
Welcome to 3.0.2, the patch that contains nearly all of the code changes required for Wrath of the Lich King. You are, for all intents and purposes, playing the expansion as of tonight, modulo the ability to level to 80 or go to Northrend. I know I'm going to have a long night of re-speccing and deciding if I'm going to bother with inscription or not.... sigh.

Saturnalia took on the 3.0 PTR today, in our usual 3-man grouping style. We are all 65, so we decided to do Underbog which was a little low for us, hopefully counteracting the fact that we all had UI brokenness due to the loss of settings and mods. It was really enlightening, and we can see that some things are likely to change. Here's how it went.
Continue reading The 3.0 Player Test Realm (PTR).
Levels: 63-64
Status: Blood Furnace full clear
Between this last week and our normal Saturday get-together we cleared Slave Pens
and Underbog
except for The Black Stalker
.
The final boss of Underbog had some horrible reset issues, resetting as
soon as it had me (tank) in its beam. We'll figure that one out and
give him another go.
