Ren
MAJOR life invasions, may be more interruptions in weeks ahead
Dinged 110 in Naked and Afraid challenge - final money total about 62,000 gold, time 4 days 22 hours 1 minute
BUT ... forgot to take a screenshot (took one later; time finished can be calculated from the played time minus the time played at level, which was about 14 hours at the time)
Also moved the toon to Whisperwind and did a race change to undead
BUT ... plans to run up a void elf warlock to fulfill promise to Silvermoon gang
Odds and ends - getting things tidied up in prep for expansion
Advancing neglected professions
Finished paladin mount quest and working on monk
Getting all the class hall followers - Maximilian of Northshire is totally worth it

Interviews all day, every day.
Wrath timewalking was fun. 700 badges from my next mount.

Should all classes be unlocked on all races? Or should class-race assignments follow established lore?
