Yeah, I read about that here and thought it was great. When I couldn't
attack that mob, I was glad for it and thought I'd be safe, recalling the
change...

Ah, that's what I hadn't realised. Fair enough I guess, just a bit
unexpected :-)

I had the same with the guards when riding through the horde town in Feralas
that was the shortest path between the FP on the border to 1kN and Dire
Maul. I usually didn't bother riding around it (it was quite a detour) and
would just follow the road. You'd get flagged but with luck not be knocked
off your horse :-)

TM - SS PvP never really happened on my server (it was PvE) so there is not
so much nostalgia to be had but I might try it anyway.

That might be a bit ambitious...

One of my guildies got the achievment late last night, so at least some
groups still seem to go :-)
