Marking Time Once Again

Marking Time Once Again

Chaitee still plies the Auction House for bargains. Wildshard, Sista and Atkar keep the faith, crafting goods for market. Demon Hunter Mahakeya has been seen more frequently of late. Tiphaine keeps an eye on them all.

This is the "between time" when the current world still has control, but teeters on the brink of a new beginning. The new world dawns at PDT 3pm on August 13th.

Assuming that the coming shift will be similar to other world sized changes, one can count on there being a key questline thread to kick things off. Tiphaine has laid down some rules to follow, but she knows that once the expansion door opens, chaos reigns and all bets are off.

    The Alliance will begin at Kul Tiras. Demon Hunter Keya intends and expects to be at the forefront, leveling as she goes. She is the best geared and has the most experience. Her mount is swift and deadly. She knows and expects that flying will be restricted in the new world (as has been the case since the beginning) and all movement will begin on the ground. At least that is the expectation.
 
Once Keya gets a foothold, Wild and Sista will follow in Keya's wake. Their focus is on learning and collecting the mats required to survive in the new lands. Leveling will occur as they learn. Chaitee, of course, will bring the new mats to market. For her, leveling will have to take a back seat for a time.

This time-worn process has remained intact for centuries and across multiple worlds. Some would even call it boring and repetitive. But the opening of a new world still brings a strong sense of expectation and even a tinge of fear. There are new lands and both friends and enemies beyond the world as it exists now.

Soon. Very soon. All of that will change in an instant.
