Althoug I'm not at WRA I totally agree. (Steamwheedle Cartel, Moonglade, and Darkmoon Faire have been CRZ'ed, so Goldshire is worse than a cosplay bar Friday night - sigh). Drop that #¤"/&%¤ CRZ! Framerates drop to 17-20 fps. Players are all over etc. Sure this is a MMORPG, but you feel like running around in New York or Tokyo. Not much RP in this either. Why should those NPC's select us crappy IMCs to do their dirty jobs when there's literally hundreds of players in green gear around? Drop it, preferably yesterday! Gotta say, if your experience with CRZ is that bad, why don't you come over to Earthen Ring? It's NOT crossrealmed, and it'd be nice to regenerate the ironman community that used to be there, instead of us all scattering across 5 different servers Personally I don't have much problem with it; I like how you actually see other players occasionally, and it only annoys me for holidays (I'm using my ironman to get the Swift Springstrider as it'll be infinitely less painful on Earthen Ring than my main's server) and trying to get rare battle pets, and even that becomes less painful with time, my main can actually find most of them nowadays. It needs work; ALL named questmobs should be shared tag (like all post early Cata ones are, after Blizz invented that system to handle Tol Barad daily issues), and it really needs to notice when there's too bloody many people in a spot and remove a realm or two from the crossrealmness, but it's nice to not be in a totally dead world (and I say this as a loner who prefers not competing with others for mobs!)

Earthen rRing sounds tempting, but I can't make any more characters until one of mine dies, as I've hit the 50 characters limit (sharing account with hubby and kids ). If I die again, I'll re-roll on ER for sure, but I hope for it not to happen.

Well I discovered that one of my characters was a level 7 (now 1 level and 100 chocolate eggs richer) Draenei Paladin - IMC-aspirant - on Earthen Ring Name of Draninae. What's the Iron channel on Earthen Ring?

What's the Iron channel on Earthen Ring? Channel is "darkiron" on Alliance side - I had to login to check; it's so rare I see anybody talking in it

But I'll juin tomorrow. I waas at the optometrists to have my eyes checked (I'm just getting old is all ) so I don't dare play other than egg hunt as the world is fuzzy from the drops he used. I'm sharing my playtime on 3 servers now. Just hope one of them makes it to 90.

I must've missed you, did a load of egg hunting earlier and got my new mount That egg hunt daily is decent exp at my lvl though so I'll make a point of logging in for the rest of the holiday - I'm playing my main a lot on the 5.2 content atm so not got so much time for ironman but keep meaning to make some more time for it. Good luck with that lvl 90 goal!

So I was starting to curse myself because it's my third attempt on clearing all of Tirisfal Glades (quests and rares), then after collecting for the third time as well the 20 eggs for the Noblegarden quest, the mount dropped!!! Happy day! Now I really need to level at least until level 20 Also: CRZ intially made many low-level areas crowded when Noblegarden started this year. A hotfix has been implemented that greatly increases the spawn rate on Brightly Colored Eggs. www.wowhead.com/news=211712/2013-noblegarden-guide-april-1-8#.

I would bring Gopher across too but the name is already taken. I tried 'Iron', 'Ironman', 'IMC' and 'ironmanchallenge' last night. I'll say hello again later.

CRZ wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't so totally overdone.
Here I am out questing and I can see at least three different servers - everything is so overfished - and I didn't know it was possible to fall to death on a flight path, that's just peachy lovely.
But my biggest complaint is that with the mobs so thinned out, a lot of the strategy and planning I had to do for ironman is pretty much unnecessary. Instead I take silly risks competing with other players for mobs. It's making me a bit rude, which I dislike, but the alternative is waiting around several minutes for respawns - so I grab everything I can. I'm even worse if I'm on a healer in green gear - when I was taking my disc through Elwynn I'd pull four mobs at a time because I was surrounded by players.
So blah, and all. Being alone wasn't great, I like having people around, but there's too much CRZ.

I don't mind CRZ for the most part. The biggest issues that I have had so far is people helping me kill things. Doesn't matter which character, alive or dead. People like to help my toons. But I guess for this experience I created female toons, which is something I have never done before. I play this game to relax, as my real life of owning a business and dealing with the multitude of employee stuff and customer issues is enough. Everything else in game is a cake walk. If something is killed that I want, the great thing about a virtual game is that it will eventually spawn again. If it is a node I was working towards, there is always more.. There really isn't anything in this game that I have truely gotten bent out of shape about except.. The RealID thing back before Cata launched.. And when they were going to take away the 310 flying for 'What a long strange trip it had been'. The latter of the two I had been working on for years, but had always had bad luck with the Halloween stuff. It literally took me three years to get that darn helm. I have some fun conversation with the new CRZ people, and the best part is.. I get to troll the trolls

Not sure of the mentality..My main is on a medium server Ravenholdt, and unless someone is real id buddying, I've never seen CRZ peeps anywhere. When I desperately needed a dwarf female to complete Noblegarden..there were zero to be found, and no CRZ people about to fill the gap. So I made and leveled one, and still, in the starting areas, no CRZ. Plenty of eggs in both Razor Hill and Kharanos, absolutely no competition. So why did they take a nice high server like Wyrmrest and combine it with a full server like Moonguard? The idea is right, but it should be more for low low servers like Onyxia and Rivendare (I have toons on both for the peace n quiet) ...or level on a medium server (I can't suggest Ravenholdt it is RP-PVP) or maybe level up Horde instead of alliance and avoid Goldshire altogether....
