Like it or don’t like it, the undead are swarming over the land. I’m not here to debate Blizzard’s wisdom, I’m just hoping we can use this topic to help each other survive with strategies we’ve learned. Please add your own, and leave the debates to the many many many existing topics.
Avoiding ganking while flagged:
When going to an event like Nathanos, never land at the most likely flight master. If I were a stealther with bad intent, that’s where I’d go. Instead fly past or land short and fly the short extra distance. Depending on where you are you can use this as an opportunity to let your PvP flag expire.
Avoiding landing in the middle of a ghoul invasion.
Same strategy as above. Don’t fly directly into your main capital or immediate nearby town (Razor Hill, Goldshire, etc) Cataclysm added plenty of flight masters at minor questing hubs. These places are far less likely to be infested. You can even plan out your flightpath so you overfly the capital and get a look at the situation there.
Avoiding logging in to a ghoul invasion.
Whenever you log out in a city, make sure you’re on a rooftop or piece of geography that can only be reached by flying. No building interiors are safe. Instanced areas like the Deeprun Tram may be safer than open areas in cities, but don’t always count on it.
Dalaran is your friend
Wrath Dalaran has an auctioneer, banks, and rarely will you encounter a zombie.
Zombie griefers want numbers, so go where they have less opportunity
If you are sitting in the main auction house of Orgrimmar or Stormwind during this event you are basically asking to get scourged (I can blame the victim because it’s a fantasy game). In Thunder Bluff you can do your auctions while sitting on a flying mount. Most people don’t even know there’s two auction houses in Silvermoon, and who is going to go to the trouble of attacking the Exodar?
And the most important tip of all…
Always. Always, be nice to your Paladin friends.
