heh, yhea, is that from a book? short novel? cuz if so I definitly have to read it.
regarding orgrimmar, I like the changes in the valley of spirits (minus the goblin segment) valley of wisdom, and the drag, as well as the new waterfall on the valley of honor, but the rest of the town has a really MESSED UP vibe to it that I just don't like.
not one bit.

I just got me a Battered Hilt!
Who do I give it to?
Skreerantwo's really the only toon I play anymore, although that could change. I mainly play him just so I can get goddamned Loremaster before Cata. I'd give him the Hilt, but he can't use swords.
Ruìn, my DK, can use swords, and he's level 75, but I hardly play him anymore, and he's one of my less important RP characters. It feels like giving him the Hilt would be a waste.
I could give it to Nakresh, who can use swords, but he's level 68, and axes are more his style anyway.
I could also give it to Dag'rema, but she's only level 50, and it'd be even longer before she could do the quest. On the other hand, it feels the most "right" for her, considering her nature.
I could also give it to Base, who is level 62. However, I haven't played him in forever, and it doesn't really fit his lore.
What do you guys think?

If any of them is a blood elf, that would be the choice IMO

awesome =) gratz bro' well, it's a tough desition, because only 1 of your toons is a blood elf, and yet that very same blood elf can't use swords......
too bad, I'll tell you both sides of the coin: on one hand you have the choise of having a nice quest (the quest has a better ending when it's given to a blood elf), but having a generic staff/mace as a reminder of that quest.
or you have the choise of giving it to a user who can use swords, thus having a quest with a crappy ending (the blood elves pretty much will hate you) but have the most awesome sword as a reminder of the whole ordeal.
of course there's the third choise: save it, don't use it on any of your current toons, on cataclysm due to the revamp of azeroth, making an alt is not only recomended, it's actually mandatorial with all the fun quests being added to the game.
so, on cataclysm just make a blood elf that can use swords (warrior/paladin/hunter/rogue/warlock/mage/DK) and give the sword to him/her.
that way you get the nice ending, and the awesome weapon too.
because giving it to the priest will yield a nice quest but a really crappy memento of the quest (the maces look really dull, and are easily replaced inside ICC)
anyways that's what I'd do, thank goodness when that hilt dropped for me, I had a blood elf who could use swords, and even then it was a hard choise for me to choose from my orc shaman or my Blood elf DK (since at that time I hardly played on the DK)
xD that hilt started a chain of events that led to me now playing the DK as my main, serving as the main tank of my guild :P

yhea, the reforging of quel'delar is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, (unless you're absurdly rich or have 500 horse-shoes inside your butt thus giving you the luck of a second drop)
as such, you should experience it to the best way ever posible, so IMO if I was in your shoes, I'd save it for a future cataclysm alt, because on cataclysm NOT making an alt is gonna be imposible, a lot of the quests in the revamped zones are too awesome to not do them........
and as alucard said, a Belf warrior with quel'delar=win.

I'know, I think i'm just going to go back and play BC on a new DK, where there wasn't some dumb war going on.
I still remember the Good Old Days of saving
filthy orcs
(Joking!) Thrallmar from the Legion on my Dwarf DK (from Honor Point, the place you said wasn't a base, remember Rank?)

@Rank: If I do it on a non Blood Elf, they will pretty much hate me... of course, that's probably a good thing if I give it to Dag'rema... :P
My first want would be to use the sword. I'd just be sad if I did the chain and didn't get the sword.
The second thing I want is for the character getting the sword to actually be significant. I probably won't give it the Ruin, because even if I started playing him more, he still doesn't matter much to me as an RP character. The character has to be significant. If I made a new Belf alt, I'd have to give him a story ans everything. It's still an option, of course... I could make Riranthen Firebough, the Belf Bloodmage that I have cooking in my head. On the other hand, I only have one free slot to make a new character on my home server, and that's going to my goblin hunter, I think.
I think I'm leaning toward Dag'rema on this one. She's certainly a significant character, and I don't mind if the Belfs hate her. She also takes an interest in rare and powerful artifacts in all the RPs I've used her in.
If I gave it to her, I would miss the "good" ending to the chain, but, on the other hand, I could just read a walkthrough of the Belf part of the chain, or a series of videos or something.
It's a hard decision, definitely. But, chances are, I'm not going to do it on my Belf priest. To do it on a Belf would require me either giving up my Goblin Hunter's spot or deleting my bank toon to make a spot for the mage. Then I would have to level him up to 80 or so, just to give him the hilt and do the quest. And then, at that point, I may just never play him again, since the reason for his creation was so narrow. And having the sword on a toon you never play seems as bad to me as having the mace on a toon you do play.

Opposition to the Horde, Scourge, Burning Legion, and Shadow are near requirements to live in . Anyone who speaks out in support of these groups, of even suggests it, is likely to be hanged or driven out, for these beliefs are enforced like law by the will of the common man. Just had my attention brought to this...
Not that it might be the same thing in Orgrimmar (other than the fact that Thrall is something of an Alliance sympathizer himself...), but this may be one of the legendary tarnished spots on the Alliance's otherwise whitewashed wall of... heroicness.
The people of Stormwind hang Horde sympathizers.

Where did you see that at Skree? I mean, I can see Legion and Scourge sympathizers being killed (even with all those warlocks hidden in the Slaughter Lamb), but not the Horde part... and if it was true, then Jaina could never technically visit Stormwind as she would be killed on sight....

I was just thinking that myself.

Hm, interesting. Too bad Blizzard will never do anything with it heh; as that would mean the city would be empty of people; seeing as the Tauren and Night Elves have a fairly lax relationship among them, the Gnomes don't really hate anyone, and of course Jaina and her Theramore group.

heh, aparently cho'gall will be a raid-boss in cataclysm :P acording to the new info shared by malgayne, and he's even gonna be on the entry-level raid (grim batol) but he's gonna be an optional boss in the same style as algalon (AKA SUPER HARD, and only for the most hardore raiders ever)
let me be the first to say "Told ya so" :P
I just knew that getting crushed by a bit of rubble wasn't gonna be enough to kill cho'gall, I just hope med'an gets his squid-green face away from me, I don't wanna see him take all the credits if I ever take down cho'gall.

Cho'gall is the last boss of the Bastion. The "horrific secret of Grim Batol" is the ultra-hard optional Algalon-like encounter of the raid.

I stand corrected, cho'gall is the end boss, not the optional, wich is even better because this means I WILL kill him, not i "could" kill him :P
and acording to wowwiki, the new wing of caverns of time is the war of the ancients.........
:S crap, this means rhonin will be there to steal our credit.
then again, we will meet broxigar :D so not all is as bad as it seems.
