My hunter is a dwarf, so also a bit on the short side. ; ) I mostly played as tanks or healers though, so the dps only classes tended to get left behind. >>>>I've at the moment got 1 month to make enough gold to cover about half >>>>a token to pay for the following month as I still had around 20k gold >>>>after buying the latest token.

I saw an item to start a quest from the Argent Dawn or something. The old eastern plaguelands anyway, where you could get quests based on a profession to craft a heap of a certain something to turn in for tokens or the like. Not sure I ever actually completed any of those quests, as I didn't start WoW until it was a year old, so didn't really make it to 60 all that much before TBC arrived. >> Not sure any of it looks all >>that good though. I do have the tier 0.5 (I think that's what it was, >>or was it 1.5 for the upgraded classic dungeon set?) set for my pally, >>and the first dungeon set from TBC for my priest. > >If you have original tier 0.5 then congrats!

So this wardrobe is a bit like the Diablo3 transmog thingy? Ashen Shugar -- The lions sing and the hills take flight. The moon by day, and the sun by night. Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool.
