Ok so I'm remembering why I haven't bothered with the test server for

Error! Server too busy

The service youre trying to access is too busy right now, please check
back another time.

(That "youre" instead of "you're" is really bugging me, seen it too many
times :-P)

Oh and it won't let me make a lvl 1 on my main account because it's full...
well yeah, full on the live servers but none of those are running the new
patch, so I can't exactly test with any existing characters. 2nd account
can create them, which makes no sense as I was sure I had both accounts
full (got a million lvl 1s for when I feel like running censuses on other
servers), but /shrug.

I've established that a lvl 1 belf can get to ZA in 5 deaths and 2 spirit
resses, at least... not that there's much to see, a camp with a few people
wandering around and some nice booze you can loot which you throw at
buildings to set them on fire, and that's about it ;-) Neutral flightpath
there btw, which according to a screenshot I saw on forums does link to LHC
so Alliance can get there... nice to see cross-server flights, sadly
they've not implemented the same between Exodar and Auberdine - didn't try
Silvermoon and UC but I suspect that's the same deal, in which case I think
my lvl 25 belf will be corpserunning her way to the LHC flightpath before
2.3 so I can make my home in Silvermoon again instead of having to move to
UC to have access to the rest of EK.

Nice interface changes though, tracking for various types of NPC, plus !
shows on the minimap for all questgivers/new flightpaths.
Menethil-Theramore boat is pretty cool now as well, has a proper crew all
with flavour text and a couple of vendors :-) There's a bunch of new NPCs
in Theramore too, including Deserter Agitators who sound pretty
interesting, just wish I could get a character there that's high enough to
see any quests; I have a lvl 1 draenei parked in the inn right now (didn't
fancy corpserunning to Mudsprocket at that level ;-))
