Ok, I'm still on my long trek towards Outland and getting closer by the week (L56 atm).
My brother has been L70 for some time now and even my brother in law who took a break for a couple of months is getting into swing again and levelled his L60 to L65.
This has spurred me on to get on with it and has thus brought me within two levels of the promised land. Still, all the reading up, all the watching of movies, made me wish I could simply have a glance of life at L70. What is it like having an epic flier (any flier really) or to be wearing nice endgame gear.
Then I found out:
You can copy a premade L70 of your choosing onto the test-server and play. The character has:
- L70 (off course)
- an epic flier
- an epic ground mount
- epic gear for all the roles your class is capable of and often in multiple tiers
- 4 x 36-slot bags CHOCKFULL of first-class gems !!
- top of the line drinks and bandages
- two professions maxed out
Not every class/race combinations is available, but every race is as well as every class on every faction. Like: Gnome Warlock and Undead Warlock, but no Human Warlock.
On first login you can even name the char what you want.
Since then I've been soaring through the skies, checking out the dark portal, harassing the Fel Orcs at Hellfire Citadel. It makes me wanna get there sooner :grin:.
PS: I'm sure a lot of you guys already know this, but it has apparently escaped my attention for some time.
PPS: I actually WAS aware of the possibility, but I thought I'd need to make a full copy of the client and patch that one. Which would give me diskspace troubles. But instead it neatly sticks onto your regular installation and makes a nice subfolder called WoWTest and only installs the difference with the full client. It has it's own addon folder and it's own addon-data folder. Simply wonderfull I tell ya.
