Lots of dungeons and dungeon quests. Could get 2-3 levels in a run Rested XP was a waste because you blow right through it. Problem - Maraudon puts you in the dungeon, but no quests for two more levels. So, either quest or repeat dungeons. Problem with that is now you’re moving further and further away from Stormwind (Stranglethorn or Plaguelands) Had to run to Wetlands between dungeon runs. Waste of time. Not sure what else to do. Toy is 10k gold, and only gives faction flight points, not neutral. BTW: I still love Maraudon This Week in WoW Pet Xp event - 200% not 300% as originally advertised Hallow’s End starts Wednesday the 18th at 10

When they ran the original figures through their new system they found out much to their surprise that it had not only reached full penetration into their most coveted target audience, the male population between 18 and 45, but also that the series had been one of the most successful series the network had ever aired. The sickening realization hit upon the dismayed network executives that they had slaughtered the proverbial goose that laid the golden eggs, something that every fan at the time could have told them.
