Funny how I always imagined it saved us a ton of time...<br /><br />@Anonymous: Ah, the corpse runs... Yeah, that might have been just as good a reason as avoiding some trash packs.<br /><br />@Euripedes: It's great fun! I did one as late as last friday. In three hours our group of 10-15 people we got Mount Hyjal, AQ20, Tempest Keep, SSC and full clear of Black Temple! Not bad! And our warrior alt got the warglaive from Ilidan... It's still a very cool looking weapon! It was really a ton of fun. I should probably write something about nostalgic runs soon.<br /><br />@Grimmtooth; there is a link to it in the post.<br /><br />@Erinys: Hm... Never saw that happen! And yeah, I suppose there have been a few over the years. Many of them quite harmless. It matters more though if you're into competitive raiding and it matters that noone gets unfair advantages.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-28427586318720844892010-05-30T16:49:27.618+02:002010-05-30T16:49:27.618+02:00We always sent a stealth to open the door (usually...We always sent a stealth to open the door (usually a druid), I had no idea it was possible to open it any other way. <br /><br />I feel slightly silly now. Stealthing it sucked.<br /><br />In terms of exploits I feel that's pretty minor though, compared to things like DIing Razorgore and jumping your way up to the LM roof using levitate (although they may have fixed the latter by now).Erinyshttp://harpysnest.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-89410530349056463352010-05-29T13:38:48.320+02:002010-05-29T13:38:48.320+02:00I'd love to see a link to the original blue po...I'd love to see a link to the original blue post, as this has all become very confusing.<br /><br />The side door was always locked to start with, as you needed a key (the Kara key) to open it. Even then, it would not be available to open until after Opera was completed.<br /><br />Somebody did not open it from the inside, as that would be impossible without going through all those mobs amyway. We rarely, if ever, had a Rogue with us, so that is ruled out.<br /><br />Every now and then, we'd be unable to open it. One person would relog and that would be taken care of.<br /><br />As for why we did it that way ... well, I wasn't gonna get in an argument with the RL over it. For the first umty times we did it, I didn't even KNOW about the other route, we just all ran out the door when we were finished. /shrugGrimmtoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384688484347073287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-33777526853784622992010-05-29T13:21:21.084+02:002010-05-29T13:21:21.084+02:00That reminds me, I need to go back there at some s...That reminds me, I need to go back there at some stage to get some tailoring and enchanting patterns that I'm missing...Gazimoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260019919090396465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-12960100276348888532010-05-29T11:20:10.475+02:002010-05-29T11:20:10.475+02:00Blizzard considers standing on the roof of Stables...Blizzard considers standing on the roof of Stables in Arathi Basin an exploit (and most players do too), that isn't fixed, and how long has AB been in the game again?<br /><br />Nostalgia runs are (usually) a lot of fun.

I remember in BC when we found out we had to open it from the inside first. I remember it well because we tried to use the back door after a trash wipe and the raid leader got pissed that everyone passed the door without unlocking it first.<br /><br />The point was that if you got to that door, you could unlock it from the inside. And then all your corpse runs after that would be faster.<br /><br />I dunno when it changed to opening automatically from Opera, but I just learned about it lol. Even two weeks ago when I ran, we went and unlocked it because we just assumed you had to like always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-47430293547696728852010-05-28T20:41:10.064+02:002010-05-28T20:41:10.064+02:00Ah.

It barely took any time at all and was well worth the gold you got to recover your repairs. <br /><br />Towards the end of BC the guild I was in always went around... and I never quite understood why. You maybe saved 10 mins tops. I think its what... 10 trash packs plus 2 banshee things between opera and the door? <br /><br />Otherwise you had to run through the opera event around the auditorium, down the stairs and through the ballroom and finally out the front door... just to run around and climb up the stairs. <br /><br />Then you have people going afk... or falling off of stuff.. or aggroing mobs on the way back killing half the raid...<br /><br />Idk I always liked clearing those packs and never quite understood how it saved time (unless your group took a break during that time)What's my main Again?http://whatsmymain.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-91598666489089133852010-05-28T19:32:16.056+02:002010-05-28T19:32:16.056+02:00@Ratshag: with proper way I meant doing it at lvl ...@Ratshag: with proper way I meant doing it at lvl 70 with blue gear...<br /><br />@Grimmtooth: yeah, I was surprised!<br /><br />@Hugmenot: 10 minutes? hm... you might have been quick then...

...Ok, I went back and read the entire forum thread.<br /><br />Apparently, for a time, the door would unlock itself after a soft reset.<br /><br />So, you could go unlock the door yourself after doing the Opera event, or stand around waiting for a 'soft reset'?<br /><br />It's not like you're getting away with anything. The only path to the Curator after the Opera is right past that door.Iiene of Kul Tirashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427908681308163728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-60028491745491944242010-05-28T18:54:37.615+02:002010-05-28T18:54:37.615+02:00I'm confused.
