The launch of Warlords of Draenor, like another big sequel this week, has not gone as smoothly as it could. The fifth expansion to World of Warcraft was hit by a DDOS attack last night, but Blizzard should have the servers up and running shortly.

So, if you've been locked out of the game due to errors, time constraints or what have you, there's a whole new world for you to explore when you get around to it this weekend. However, if you're like me, you've somewhat fallen behind in your Warcraft game and your main toon is still trapped in the mid-80s, level-wise. Or you're thinking about trying out one of your alts, who is still in the teens, and want to get in on the action.
Thankfully, Blizzard introduced a Level 90 Boost to every player in WoW. The one-time per account special will bring any of your characters, even newly created ones, to level 90, which is the lowest level one can effectively solo any content in the starting zones of Draenor.

For those of us who are hopping right in, forum mod Nethaera wants you all to ease into the new content. A dramatic jump in levels can be cause dizziness:
"If you've recently boosted a new level 90 character for Warlords of Draenor, you will start within the blasted lands with a limited number of spells at your disposal. Once you go through the Dark Portal and as you progress through Tanaan Jungle, more spells and abilities will be unlocked."
"Once you've completed Tanaan Jungle, you should have most of your spells and abilities (for level 90) available to you. The remaining will be unlocked shortly after the beginning quests in Frostfire Ridge (for Horde) or Shadowmoon Valley (for Alliance). This system has been designed to help players who have newly boosted to ease into their new character."
After all, you don't get your license then immediately jump into dad's ferrari. No, you have to build up to that as you would any skill. However, Nethaera notes:
"If you're a veteran player and are absolutely sure that you want to skip this progression of spells and abilities, you can either swap specs or queue for an instance. This will unlock the remaining spells and abilities for you."
So if you're wondering why your UI is looking a little sparse, fear not. Blizzard just wants to get you acclimated to the water before you dive in.
