Yep, still on schedule. Nothing else to tell but I wonder where all these mobs I am killing come from. I have probably killed 15000 cultists in the past few months but their numbers seem undiminished. Perhaps they have developed the science of cloning. More research is needed, but there is no time...no time.
PS: My spirit for this challenge seems near a low point and I fear what the next level will do to me. Going onto alliance to pester you other irons gives me hope that the challenge is still alive.

Yay! I, unfortunately, have my main on Nazgrel (which is empty of Irons), but I AM cheering you on! Keep pushing. I know it seems you are still far away but you have COME so far. Don't give up. We will make it to 90! (May need to make a lowbie hordie so I can come wave at you once in awhile ).

Woo, I got a friend today! A first time challenger made a horde over there! Also I had supporters from my RP guild come into the iron channel to give moral support and chat about random things!

Okies, a quick update. I got 88 a couple days ahead of schedule. The 88 slow down is rough but I think I can weather the storm and stay on track. Still grinding away in icecrown, but do not weep for me for I am alive.

nice going. slow and steady :-)
I'm back at 82 myself. Done Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills and Zul'Drak, started Scholazar Basin.
Still no grinding and no dailies (to be honest, I did most dailies available but only once), and almost no holiday quest. Not sure I'll be 85 before I've done all of Northrend. We'll see.

Okies, thought I should give people here an update. I tend to pester people on my friends list to cheer every time I get another percent or two! Since I am just grinding it is not too often. Let me see, I still have some time off but I have to do family stuff one day. Anticipating a ding on the first Sunday in January. For those of you keeping track, that is a bit before I initially planned. Maybe I can go slower for the last level and not feel rushed...unlikely.
In other news, I noticed a curious thing on my stats page. Though the mobs I am killing are green to me, they are not being counted toward my kills that give exp or honor stat. They ARE going toward my total kills. I just thought it was odd. Also for those of you who want to try the random slaughter method...watch Harry Potter! For some reason I kill faster with Harry Potter on than other things. And all the movies together are like 22 hours long. Those took me a long way this level!

I was going to stop at 95% but I started questing and wow it is fun! Compared to grinding the same mobs for days and days anything is a blast! So ding, 89!

Congrats!
only one more lvl to go! Questing has the disadvantage of being more risky, but yeah it is a lot more fun

Nice one, good luck with the last level! It was the most nervewracking of the lot for me, but sure felt good when it was over

Ugh, hit a wall in Vash'jr. A quest named "Looking Forward". When I get to the quest turn in, there is a wall that is blocking me. Apparently this is a known bug and the only fix seems to be die and res inside...yeah guess I am done here.

Oh, that one, happened to me too, when I just needed a handful of quests to hit 85 back in Cata. Ticket a GM and ask them to fix it; if you mention you're an ironman and don't want to die, they'll do it alright, they did for me anyway Annoyingly, it's the only character it's ever happened to, done the zone several times and ofc it happens to the one which I can't die on!

That happened to me as well. Go figure, of all the toons I've brought through vashjir, it happens only on my imc. I opened a ticket. The first response I got was from a noob gm who told me to go check wowhead to fix it. I assure u the noob on wowhead was wrong in his explanation on how it happened & how to fix it. I was livid by blizz's response. And I responded with a not-so-polite reply. I told him if he couldn't help me then by golly send me to someone who could & not refer me to a site that isn't a blizz site for help with their game. It wasn't long before I got contacted by another gm who was able to fix the wall for me. Vashjir is an ez zone pretty much. Although I wasn't as high as you are when I got there, I think the ez xp is worth the trouble to have a gm fix it. Good luck.
