mkay, have a 75 mage there. Also transfered there 2 years ago with some old EU guild buddies, but they've disappeared since. :(

Very busy server indeed yes, and some serious players there.

Need to decide what to focus on now, finished up with the skyguards last night and hit 89 mounts. Time to figure out how to get 11 more :(

South African guild ?

Im on draenor aswell, I recall a guild started up when Firelands came out by a group of South Africans, it was on horde side.
iirc give Thornblade a whisper to see if it is still active.

Arzy - have u got all the pvp mounts ? real easy to get those :p also the race mounts are easy now too, if you are short on rep you can do the argent tournament dailies and the molten front ones and use the commendations for city rep :)
easy'ish way to get to 100 mounts

You can also gain rep quickly with city factions if you haven't done their starter and low level zone quests. The quests usually give about 250 rep per quest and takes little time at 85. Should be faster than Argent and Firelands dailies.

There is also the tabards that you can get. I think they work for all dungeons except TBC.

Done with all factions unfortunately. I should be able to get another 5 or 6 mounts tonight though and then I'm thinking of going to AQ for some beetles.

Got lucky in AQ last night, got all 4 Qiraji battle tanks in 2 goes. Blue and green on first run to the prophet, run out and reset, Yellow and Red on first pack.

Identified 5 other mounts I can easily get tonight and then I just need to do some work for the last 2. Bucklet list for MoP done! Apart from Insane title...after grinding the Skyguards out I just don't have the heart to go an do Steamwheedle Cartel. Already have Bloodsail at honored and Ravenholt at exalted though.

I see Blizzard has made the mobile AH and guild chat free. Tested it out this morning and it's confirmed.

Well, after the 6GB download, the launcher now wants another ~4GB. Such awesome news when using a 3G connection. :(

Mine didn't want to download another 4 Gb. About 600Mb that I needed to download after the optimization.

Do you have a 64bit pc? Apparently the 64bit client is now included with the normal 32bit one and will be detected by your launcher. I guess that's probably why I have this sizeable download. Could be wrong though.

I do have a 64-bit pc. One thing that might be different is that I redownloaded the entire WoW about 5 months ago after deleting it completely. The game had become corrupted in some way and the repair utility couldn't fix it. I noted at that time that while the downloader said it was complete, I was still getting downloads in the game itself.

How long does the optimization take?

It depends. Mine took about 30 minutes. It does use the harddrive excessively though, so expect your pc to be slow when loading stuff. I was playing some D3 and had a couple of times where the entire game just stopped for a couple of seconds.
