It’s true! Svirven is still alive and kicking. He is, however, hovering above Shattrath City most of the time. Why? At the moment I’m leveling a hunter alt, currently at level 42 and counting. I want to pick up the Inscription profession on Svirven, but I want to keep Leatherworking as well. In order to do that, I need a gatherer with Skinning and Herbalism. Nevrivs, my Hunter, will remain an alt when the expansion hits, but for now it’s a nice change of pace.
