Well, it seems to be months since I last wrote anything here, which was not my intention, but there you go. A brief update is in order - maybe I'll find time to go into more detail sometime soon!
I have two L70 characters now - Mabel got there a while ago. She's still got lots of quests to do - she's just gone into Netherstorm - so she is steadily earning money towards her epic flying mount. Iolanthe is still stuck on everything but has made a bit of progress - she's up to Black Morass in the instance list. She's still trying to make enough money to start the epic flight form quest, but has been slowed down by having to send money to her sisters. I'm hoping that soon she might get to finish the Ogri'la prequest chain (she has one step left), because that will open up some money-making daily quests. The Netherwing ones aren't an option because you can't start them until you have the epic flying skill (whatever it's called). But she's loving the daily cooking quests. The Skettis one is harder than all the others combined, so of course it seems to come up more often than all the others combined too. But the bonus is that while you're there you may as well do the daily bombing quest while you're there (I can never be bothered to fly there to do that one unless I'm doing the cooking quest too, but it's fun if you're there anyway). Mabel is doing the cooking quests too, but she finds the bombing much harder than Iolanthe because she has a flying mount rather than flight form, and the wings are much bigger - it's hard to see the eggs!
Katisha is L60 and is working her way through the higher Azeroth zones (yes, I know I could be in Outland, but it's me). She's currently in EPL. When she finally makes it to Outland I'll take her on the flight point tour - I haven't written about the Outland ones yet. Gianetta has been a bit neglected recently, but I plan to make it up to her soon - she's L32 and is in the Southshore inn. I did spend a bit of time with Hebe in Ashenvale - she still can't do the Absent Minded Prospector, even at L27 - but I was finding everything really difficult so I left her for a while too.
Patience is now L22 and is just finishing the Bloodmyst Isle quests. And since I last wrote, I finally got the urge to try the last class I hadn't done - a hunter. Elsie is now L18 - with a pet owl called Tevez (because when I got him, Man Utd were playing Liverpool, and Tevez had just scored) - and is killing stuff in Darkshore. I don't know why I wasn't inspired to try a hunter earlier, because it's great fun!
I haven't really played on the other servers much in the last few months. Santuzza and Eponine are exactly where they were - they kind of lost their reason for living when the person that they went to play with quit the game - and Madmargaret hasn't got very far. I've actually played her quite a bit, but I'm just really, really bad at it! It's many months since anyone else in the guild has been on Hellscream at the same time as her, so it's a bit demoralising.
Anyway, it was the Lunar Festival that inspired me to post. It reminded me that Patience and Elsie haven't yet done the flight point tour, so they may as well do that while collecting coins of ancestry. (It's the perfect time to collect flight points, because everyone can get the Moonglade one for free while the festival is on, and then use the moonlight to facilitate movement elsewhere.) All my other Dragonblight characters have all the flight points now, so they can all try to get the coins they didn't get last year. (I have decided to be restrained and not make Iolanthe go and get them all again...) This in turn reminded me that I need to edit my flight point guide, because several new graveyards have been added to the game since I wrote it, and they will affect things. However, I did the first part of the run tonight with Patience, and so far there are no changes - no new graveyard in Felwood, in particular, where it would really help. (I had to abandon Patience as a ghost in Irontree Woods, because the server went down for regular maintenance while I was still trying to get to the Emerald Sanctuary, and if I'd hearthed, it would have wasted probably two hours' effort.)
More when I've finished the tour - maybe at the weekend. I bet you can't wait :p
