So, the other day a friend and I exchanged dungeon runs. I took his little Rogue through a few arms of Scarlet Monestary and he took me and another of his friends through part of Blackrock Depths.

At level 53 and 50 respectively between myself and the other friend receiving benefit from the dungeon run exchange, we didn’t do much but stand back for the most part, although for most of the grouped battles, I put a few heals out on my friend and his pet and had to fade and shield a few times.

I was fine with the healing as long as I waited long enough from the start of the fight to send my first heal out, but on occasion I would send that first big heal out too soon and no amount of fading or running towards the pet “tank” could save me.

Is The Run To Blackrock Mountain/Depths The Longest Graveyard Run?

Faced with the run back, I had a lot of time to contemplate corpse retrieval runs I’ve done to various instances over the past few months. Now that there’s a new graveyard super-close to Razorfen Kraul and Razorfen Downs, is the graveyard run to Blackrock Mountain (which houses Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire and Molten Core) the longest corpse run in the game?

WTB a shorter corpse run back to BRD…

Ahh…corpse runs. Don’t you just love em? I don’t remember any really memorable ones in WoW. Although I know that I did way way too many to BWL way back when my guild were first trying to figure out Vael and he was still on a lockout timer and we did attempt after attempt until I wanted to shoot myself in the head! But I do remember an 8 hour corpse retrieval we did in EQ1 in Plane of Fear one time…with no equipment (cause it all got left on your corpse when you died!). And having to call in a rescue team from the local uber guild to get us all out (very embarrassing).

Love your blog by the way. It great to find other girl gamers out there!

yup, that brings to mind the fun runs in Diablo, especially I, when you’d fight all they way back with your spare equipment on (can’t die on the way!), then spend a while trying to find that +20 Ring of the Stars that might be clipped inside a wall, or maybe picked up by that guy who joined your group on Battlenet.

Nice blog btw :-)

I used to dread that CR all the way to RFK/RFD that I would sometimes just rez there and /log, that way I didn’t have to put up with the run back until I had cooled down. :P I used to not mind the BRD/BRS corpse runs because I would look forward to jumping into the lava while still a ghost! ;-) Personally I think every dungeon should have a graveyard right outside filled with the bodies of those who have died inside… wouldn’t that freak you out the first time you show up to a dungeon like that? hehehe…

Hey, Wowninja, I remember those runs through the plane of Fear!! Old school! :-)

Haggis, I can’t remember if the online version did the same as local, but if you logged out, then back in your corpse would be in the centre of town…. would suck if you tried that and it didn’t work and you lost everything though… hehe… They need to make another Diablo game… or maybe incorporate Diablo lore into the next next expansion pack, something like a portal that brings you to that world or something. :-)

Go die in the cave south of Raven’s Wood in northwestern Blade’s Edge. All though I’ll warn you now, it may cause nausea, heartburn, diahrrea, depression, and/or suicide.
