WotLK & the new patch

· games

After tonights 240Mb patch, you can now “learn” all mounts in your bag, and once learned, they’ll dissapear from your bag, creating additional space.

You can summon your mounts (and non combat pets) from Character -> Pet -> Companions/Mounts tab.

Also the first part of the Hunter’s pet talent tree has been added.

And yes, a flying mount for the Death Knight!

Mana & energy regeneration has been improved, and it seems very nice!

Quest log seems bugged, and you cannot open it anymore using your mouse. Use <L> instead.

A lot more info has been added on MMO-Champion.

Here are the patch notes (little or nothing seems to have changed from previous patch notes):

Mobistar's iPhone webshop error code "30001100"

· errors, misc, www

When I tried to order my iPhone a few days ago from the Mobistar webshop (which is using Ogone payments), and I got to its last step “Pay goldz plx !” something happened.

Submitting the required (and correct!) info, using my MasterCard, I received this helpful error page (roughly translated): “Order failed. Seller cannot sell item” and at the bottom, error code: 30001100.

I tried to execute the payments multiple times (you have no idea’s how many times I checked and rechecked my credit card number), reordered the item, other browser, and so forth. Nothing helped.

First (Death Knight) impressions

I must say, I’m pleased to see this new class.

Besides some general login server problem, the beta has been running quite smooth for me (only some minor graphic bugs).

As for the Death Knight… Well done Blizzard !

So far (almost one level up!) it has been a refreshing new class. In some way it reminds me of a paladin-warrior mix (with the energy of a rogue?).

The starting area is really nicely done. Floating above Plaguelands in a Citadel, you start your first class quests. They’ll give you access to special abilities or spells (e.g. mount or 75% faster running speed in the citadel) and to your talents. Yes, you’ll get talent points as reward for completing quests.

WotLK - Part 1

While endlessly waiting to login, as it all seems quite... Overloaded.

I couldn't help noticing the wrong loading screen, or wrong for me at least, using the English game.
