About the 'expired character' thing, Blizz has changed it so that they still stay 'available' for refreshing in perpetuity as long as nobody else has used the toon's name. Once a character expires, it's name becomes available for recycling. Just so long as it hasn't ben used, you're good to resurect it. I'm pleased that you discovered it for yourself. I made the mistake of checking my old mule accounts (some with collections of good stuff, including HRs) and deleting them on seeing that they were expired. A week later I found out about this new policy of Blizz's. :-( Happy holidays old friend. -- TTFN, Shaun.
