Server Migration, Dual Spec, Char Screen, Hyjal

If you can read this news post, you're on the new servers!
As mentioned yesterday, we finally started moving the servers to Curse's infrastructure this week. We're still moving a lot of stuff and some pages might be down for a little while but ... we're there! It means we can finally start planning funny updates to the site, and, well, a lot of bug fixes. We also have a couple of shiny pictures, thanks to Xtek.

Dual-Specialization Price Reduced
The price of Dual-Specialization has been lowered in a recent beta build, it now costs 100 gold and new players who reach level 40 should be able to afford it without too much problem.



Character Selection Screen - Built-In Theorycraft
In Cataclysm, the character screen will let you check easily how much of stat you need to be capped, calculations for Expertise, Hit Rating, and a few other stats are available. This will probably save you a lot of time when you try to figure out if you really need that extra hit on your shiny new epic.



Build 12804 - Mount Hyjal Update
Mount Hyjal received a very interesting update in the latest beta build. If you visited the zone or looked at screenshots during early beta, you probably remember the huge crater called Archimonde's Vengeance. Well, this subzone is gone and has been replaced with a greatly improved version! The crater is no longer there but the key NPCs of the questlines are still around.

    Ah, very nice! We usually get a better deal on Dells but HP will keep your servers under maintenance longer, which can be very nice at keeping surprises at bay.

    Even if the dual spec change is legit and not just a convenience thing for Beta testers, it won't be refunded. Just like they didn't refund Epic flying when those prices were reduced via rep discount.

    They do this now after I spent thousands buying dual spec for most of my characters ><

    Could have bought another hilt with it, easy.

    Edit: I see Baron Geddon is in Hijal now, cool.

    Could it have been better? Sure. Is it really necessary? No way, not for only a few cabinets worth of servers. It would be pointless and a waste of money to install raceways, conduit, patch panels, etc. for something of that size. (More aimed at the guy you were replying to Chaddd, I just didn't quote the right post.)

    To the person asking why only use one cable in bay 6 of the HP switch, my guess is it's probably VLAN segregated...an uplink to a router or firewall? Who knows.

    What I would like to know is if you are using a load-balancer, and if so what kind?

    No one demanded anything, serveral people said it would be nice.... Are you saying a random 900 gold per toon wouldn't be nice if it showed up in your mail box?

    Take your vulgar nerdrage and go away.
    Yo sir, can have my internets. Thank you for laying down the law on the angry little children.

    OMG... those servers look "AMAZING". Oh wait, they're not done by Blizzard, which "amazing" can only be applied to every single thing Blizzard does.
