Don't be stressed :D I'm excited I left my hunter in Zangramarsh. Muwahahahahaha. Also it took me about 40 minutes to get the optimization done. Don't worry though realms are still down so if your not done your not missing much. :(

(and I KNOW that all the addons I normally rely on will be "out of date")

BTW! Livestock, the pet/mount addon IS updated already to patch 5.
Anything in particular you're stressed about? I leveled to 90 on beta just picking talents and glyphs that looked good to me, and didn't have any difficulty.

Was going to link WHU's guide to 5.0 for 85s, but that site seems overloaded right now :)

After my installation was complete, I updated my add-ons so they'd be ready to go once the servers come up. RandomCompanion add-on has been updated as well. So relieved!

I parked mine outside of the Underbog :D

And I found that checking "Do not throttle background downloads" option in the first launcher pop-up screen made things go much faster, only took about an hour for it to be done!

I don't know... maybe I'm too old and don't like change! LOL

I get stressed out just thinking about trying to get all my addons updated and in order. there are a few I just can't live without.

then re-learning all my abilities..
I'd already started getting used to one aspect of the patch I knew was coming... no more Steady Shot for Beastmastery hunters, so I was getting into the groove of Cobra Shot.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

I thought BM used cobra shot ever since it was added to the game. Where have I been? :|

*merrily pokes through addons as the launcher updates*

All that stuff will get sorted out it always does, heck you survived the cataclsym :D You gotta focus on the important things! Logging in and seeing a nice gun/bow strapped to your back! Shooting things in your face in thier face! Giant tripod pets! New moves! Minipet names! ...omg I better glare at my clock again to make it move faster.

LOL Melissa!

the tripod pet IS a good thing... maybe it will have a bonus ability: "Lower Blood Pressure"? on a 5 minute cool-down?

Mine did this, so I closed it, reopened it, and it ticked up to 3% before magically saying it was finished. Game loads just fine so... I dunno. o.O Just waiting for realms to appear in my realm list now.

Just thought of something for Sukurachi, it's a rewritten song... the kind of nonsense I get up to whiling away the time for things like this.

To the tune of La Cucaracha:

El Sukurachi, el Sukurachi
Ya te puedes empesar
Porque tu puedes, porque la salsa
WoW Installer a fumar!!!

(The Sukurachi, the Sukurachi
Now you can get started
Because you can, because the sauce
WoW Installer smoking!!!)

Well... I did say it was nonsense...
:shock:

I'm personally not expecting to get in until after 6 pm PST. But that's just an educated guess. ;)
