As Pantalaimon points out, Kil'Jaeden has been downed by three guilds already. Less than a week after the gate opened allowing access to him. This makes me wonder if KJ's tuned a bit too easy at the time.
In an amazing bit of effort, Serennia of VANQUISH has soloed Onyxia. Yes, you read that right.
In topics somewhat related, a discussion of protecting your online identity and the excuse "It's only a game" are brought up. These are both very pointed reminders that the internet/our favorite games are plagued with folks who have no problem acting like an idiot...and how far that can go. While most of us aren't too worried about our online identity, most of us have also likely experienced someone in the "it's just a game" category, to our detriment.
I saw this one coming. Boomslang starts this one off by wondering if having the ability to start a Death Knight at level 55 is "Cheap". It's an interesting thought. What makes DK's so special that they get to start at lvl 55? If a DK can, why can't the rest of my alts? Why do I have to start a mage alt from 1, but a DK from 55? How important are those first 55 levels? Even figuring in the raised level cap at 80, you start more than half way through a DK's "life". It's lead to some interesting questions, to be sure.
