So, my mage is only just getting to lvl 30 and I routinely use blink as a method of travel acceleration. Run run run BLINK run run run BLINK, etc. Not as convenient as Aspect of Cheeta or a mount or anything, but it works.
Last night I was coming out of Stormwind and into Elwynn and I blinked forward and fell through the earth. If you haven't seen this, it's bizarre. Looking up, you see all of the objects (trees, buildings, animals, etc.) slowly falling up from you and below you - nothing but sky with a weird reflected cloud pattern on the horizon.
Falling a few thousand feet, I apparently hit "bottom" (looked like more sky to me). Of course, I walked to where I died, only to realize that even though I was standing at the same x,y as my corpse, I was so far above it that I couldn't res. Oh, good. 'S why we have a Spirit Healer.
This comes after having another weird death the day before. I was playing my new(ish) rogue elf and I decided to hoof it over to Elwynn from Teldrassil. So I walk from Dolanaar to Darnassus, head to Auberdine, over to Menethil, and start walking to Loch Modan. About halfway there, my little lvl 8 gets instaganked by a lvl 60. I'm thinking he actually did me a favor and I'll just wake up in the graveyard up the road. But something odd happens. I get the loading screen.
And my ghost appears in Dolanaar!
I had to spirit healer again. I don't think it's even possible to get a ghost from Teldrassil to the Wetlands!
