Oh, I did not know there was a channel called ironman. I'll join that one as well as Darkiron. I'm on Earthen Ring EU as well with 3 of mine

started again after a long break. Ironcast is now a lvl 35 priest on Earthen Ring EU horde.
I should have kept a log of all my old irons. Ironblod was my first back in 2012 when it all started. I think mid 60s is my best attempt so far.

Attempting my first ironman.
I'm going with a shammy, which should be pretty tough. I didn't see much as far as representation for them, which is part of the reason I went with it.
Add me if you'd like, it'll get pretty lonely and tedious out here... wouldn't even mind a "holy crap I just had a close call!" every once in awhile.
Hercules0012#1484, I'll be on Ironstride the tauren shammy.

My first character is an Orc hunter named Oct.

Died at lvl 21 4 mobs spawned right on top of me during the Torek's assault escort quest. I got stunned and died in 4-5 seconds.

Tough luck. One of the first things I learned doing this challenge is to have a bale out plan & 'oh shit' button ready in your head which you can use without a moments thought. The other thing is to never be too proud to just run away as fast as you can, if your class allows pets then sacrifice them while you escape. I always try to escape the way I was fighting my way into an area too because generally you've already cleared the way in. These may all seem like obvious points but when you can see yourself dying rapidly it's either panic or go on automatic escape plan Being a coward helps too which is my strong point Hope you try again.

The problem was that they spawned right where I was, in the middle of the house so I got dazed right away. I disengaged and tried to jump off the balcony but they caught up to me and stunned me before I could escape. i.imgur.com/oQwfmob.jpgAh well this was to be expected, I'll try again tonight.

Looking at the picture in your link, it caused me to smile and say "ooooh, look at all the pretty red". Not pretty, eh? All the red from enemy health bars. Silverwing guards didn't take too kind to your presence. What Alonaa said, have an escape plan. As a night elf, when I start a fight, I move away gradually from the starting position so that if I pop Shadow meld, the NPCs will go back to that starting spot - giving me a little bit of a chance to either run or not be detected... I put SM on my action bar key #1, the "oh shit" slap it button.... It is well worn....
:-) Good luck, rub some dirt on it, roll again.

just dinged lvl 60. Ironcast, Earthen Ring EU, horde
I still have winterspring, swamp of sorrows, un'goro, silithus and blasted lands to do.
Not using any vendor armor or weapons, just gear I get off mobs.
So far no drinks no food no bandages

Nice one! Long may the good run continue, I'm impressed you have so many Azeroth zones left, should get you to 63ish before you need to go to Outland, which helps a lot. Also means you'll be able to stay in Outland longer; my deathknight was 63 when I entered Outland and hit 70 in Nagrand, so had tons of potential exp left. I fancied a nice title and tabard from Shattered Sun rep, so doing that (with great care; I waited a few levels before doing the toughest dailies), combined with Outland zones through to Netherstorm took me to 77 before I went to Northrend; I actually had to skip Shadowmoon and Borean Tundra because everything was grey, so I guess my levelling was efficient enough there! Shame I'm Alliance but if I spot you anytime I'll /wave, good luck!

lvl 70 now, dinged in Nagrand
So far I have only had 1 near death experience. Doing the cannons quest in Hellfire, ran out of mana and had some respawns on me. Had to shield and levitate off the cliff. Landed in a safe area and ran into Thrallmar with about 5% hp. Apart from that one scare, it has been quite an enjoyable experience.

Congratulations on lvl 70 Near death experiences do us all good. It stops us from getting over confident & realising what a complete pain it would be to have to start all over again

Congrats! Sounds similar to my progress so far, hopefully you can be similar to me and get a bunch more levels in Outland then, makes entering Northrend much easier if you're higher lvl
