Character Transfer to PTR

Been having trouble getting my character moved to the Public Test Realm but after 3 hours I got my first character a Level 60 hunter in the Transfer Queue but the am now getting lots of error trying to do my second.

I normally use Firefox to Browse web pages but it kept on timing out to fast so I tried IE and this seems to work much better as it does not time out as quick when waiting for a web page...

World of Warcraft Public Test Realm Adventures

The new Public Test Realm (PTR) has just been released for World of Warcraft and as I am waiting on the Burning Crusade to be released on January 16th 2007 and this will be the last patch before it release I thought I might check it out.

First the PTR patch is just under 480MB so it a big download, I started the Blizzard down loader and this was so slow it looked like it was going to take a week to download. So I did some searching and found a mirror of the Patch at AusGamers, you can download it from here.

Tried Copying my Level 60 Hunter and Level 60 Rogue across but it appears the Character Transfers are down until 5pm tomorrow. So I decided to create a level 1 character and check some thing out, here are my adventure so far...

My First Journey was to see what the new entrance to the Blood elf Starting Area's was like and whether I could enter it. I travelled all the way from the undercity, passing through Western Plaguelands and then Eastern Plaguelands to find an instance Entrance that when you try and enter tells you that you must have the Burning Crusade Expansion to enter this area.



Next are some screen shots of new interface stuff:

The Silvermoon Faction is now shown


The New PvP Tab for vs battles...


Look For Group window letting you look for other people on Quests or to do raids and Dungeons with.

Character Window now lets you choose your stats to display.

Joined a Raid and you can now choose Standard or Heroic for an Instance.

Auto Self Cast and Auto Loot are options - Nice

Had to Go to Dark Shore to get a boat to the New Draenei Starting Area's as they are Islands.



Nice Boat but you get half way are transported back to Dark Shore with a message as before telling you you must have the Expansion to enter this zone.

Anyway that was the end of my Adventures today, will post some more when I get my Level 60 characters transferred tomorrow hopefully.
