    Has Tyler Durden walked up and given you an invite to FightClub?

    Nope

    But really though, it wont be THAT expensive, and either way you'll get in after a few days have passed and all the server first achievements have been gotten.

    I don't care about server first achievements, but why have them for something that is gate like this? I imagine achievement hunters are going stir crazy.

    I'm not sure about why they're doing it really, I think they want it to be very clear that there is a BMAH and it does in fact work lol.


    But Yeah I bet those acheve hunters are losing their wits over this one haha.

    Wait, does that mean Blood DKs won't be able to heal with Death Strike at all in PvP?

    I'm glad they're being nerfed, but isn't that a bit overkill?
