comment Will my parachute fail if I'm going too fast when I deploy it?
parachutes will start stabilising the flight path as soon as deployed AFAIK as drogue chutes, but won't fully open until 500m above ground level (which can be a ways up if you're landing in a mountain region).

If you're wary of losing Kerbals, unmanned probes are the way to go for testing :)

comment Cataclysm substitute to gear/player score?
that wasn't gearscore why you couldn't enter an instance, it was itemlevel, it's current equivalent and effectively an weighted average of the item levels of each individual item. The old gearscore was calculated different, and can still be seen on websites like wowhead and elsewhere (though the wowhead profiler is offline as of right now). Itemlevel is displayed on your character screen, and if you can't enter an instance the dungeon finder will tell you who in the party has their levels too low.

comment When you buy WoW, do you still have to pay for more features?
full download is in the order of 16 Gigabytes (starter edition will afaik still play the full client, so have the complete download).

comment Do I need to have a separate copy of the expansions for each account?
downloading couldn't be easier. It's fully automated, just wait until the client is done :) May take a while, but it's several gigabytes so that's unavoidable.

comment Do I need to have a separate copy of the expansions for each account?
Such no longer exist. All client installations have all content downloaded. The only thing that's account specific is what content you can access out of what you downloaded (I don't know what will happen if a toon on an account without Cataclysm access tries to enter Twilight Highlands, Uldum, or Hyjal, all of which have open access to classic zones).

comment As a Protection Paladin when should I stop stacking mastery?
correct. There's no need for paladins to cap hit, nor to cap expertise. I've mine at about 5% and have no trouble keeping threat in heroic dungeons (haven't tried cata raids yet with my paladin), where hit rate for dps should be something like 7%. I'd rather reforge into haste when hitting avoidance caps, in order to generate more chances to hit and increased mana generation (thus more threat generating blows).

comment How to progress when stuck in “limbo” between iLvl 200 and 220 @ level 81
continuity is poor, mainly because the jump in stats between northend and cataclysm is so massive (northend dungeon drops stop at ilvl200 or so (highend northend raids can get you a bit higher I think), cataclysm quest rewards and world greens start at 272 or so). As others have said, go quest in hyjal and/or vashir for a while and you'll soon have complete cataclysm gear.

that said, you might find a real gem for cheap at auction sometimes :)

comment Where is the best place to farm for Wool Cloth?
do keep in mind that those numbers don't tell the entire story. Respawn rate and number of mobs out there can greatly influence your actual yield. E.g. if something drops guaranteed but there's only 3 of them with a 10 minute spawn timer, you'll get less than a 10% drop rate but there's 30 of them with a 2 minute spawn timer.

comment World of Warcraft first time installation
install guide? Just install from the DVD, then the updater runs and the rest is automatic. No guide needed :) If download fails, turn off p2p downloading in the updater menu, it often helps.

comment Where can I find the Lich King in World of Warcraft?
killed the Lich King last weekend, definitely a challenge even in 10 man mode for a full team of lvl85 players who've not done it before. There's also a 5 man instance in Icecrown where you get to interact with him indirectly, but not fight him (you will see npcs fighting him).
