Frozboz, my level 45 warrior, died today at the hands of several Grimtotem in Thousand Needles trying to complete the quest Grimtotem Chiefs: The Chief of Chiefs. He had just dinged 45, and I wanted to finish up this quest before hearthing back for plate armor upgrades. Bad decision. I'm not sure if I'll start over, this took a lot out of me for some reason. Good luck to all.. |

I heard of your untimely demise from Ash after you had logged off and it devestates me more to see it in the written word. R.I.P. Frozboz, you will be missed.
I understand how you feel. The wind has been taken out of your sails. I hope you take a break and return to us, if not then I wish you well in your travels. Your presence will be missed in the guild and the chat channel.

I was so sorry to read your news here. Frozboz will be missed.
I understand how devastating it feels, and how you wish you could take back that one decision. Good luck to you, whatever you decide about returning.

My most effective tip is; if you like to party (whatever that means to you) and you've partied alot, log out! I'm at lvl 47 and learning how to stay alive through what most of these posts advise. I lost three ironmen by being careless with dangerous quests and by not logging out when taking a smoke break. Also if in the North Barrens be on alert for Latt the Leaper! Good luck fellow Ironmen!

Got caught with a game/phasing glitch (I think) this morning and died. I was doing Mending Fences www.wowhead.com/quest=12915 the quest after The Draksynnard (which frankly was the one I was really worried about). This should be a fairly easy and safe quest actually, for all that your fighting elites, because you throw a boulder that summons a group of earthen to help you fight. Normally you can all but sit back and watch the earthen kill them. Well I threw the boulder, the earthen popped up and then at some point early in the fight they disappeared (or I only got one of them instead of the normal 4-5) and the giant stomped my VW and then me. some notes: I ressed and finished the quest (taking no additional damage). I did learn you can in fact throw more than one boulder at the same giant summoning more than one group of earthen. I'd therefore reccomend picking up a boulder and postioning yourself next to another one (can only carry one boulder at a time) so that when you start the fight you can immediately grab a second one to throw. Honestly I didn't even think about it as I had no trouble with this quest on Telzey but I should have read up on it on wowhead as this was a reported problem. By the time I realized, it was too late for me to grab another boulder and re-throw. Ah well, I'm probably done after this attempt. |

You were doing amazing. The fact that you got two locks as high as you did though is a feat in itself. You sir seriously deserve a handshake. |

Got caught with a game/phasing glitch (I think) this morning and died. Nooooooo! Tell me this isn't so!!!!! I don't like waking up to news like this. I can't believe this; I just knew you had it this time. I'm heartbroke about this. To get two of them that high and then die - I can only imagine the frustration level. I don't want you to quit because I'll miss your presence in the challenge but I understand if you don't re-roll. At least drop in and say "hello" every now and then. Now I'm all depressed again.  |

Oh no! I was sad to read this. I'm so sorry. You were doing so beautifully and very much an inspiration, not only by your accomplishments but with your helpfulness and generosity. I can only begin to imagine the frustration and sadness, and definitely understand if you decide not to reroll. You will be missed, both here and on the WA iron channel. |

Ferrousbull[46] dead to a foolish mistake. A more experienced hunter would have survived easily.
I'd really like to stop doing this, but my rogue looks lonely.
This is not a healthy obsession.
