However it is possible that she is dead, because in Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, while Arthas is escaping the undead in the ruins of Lordaeron, he thinks about the secret exit he has in his quarters, the same Calia, Terenas and Arthas's father have. Only he himself, Calia, Terenas, Lianne, [[Uther the Lightbringer|Uther]] and Bishop [[Alonsus Faol]] know that they exist. As he suppresses the memories, he also remembers that they are all gone. It is unknown if "gone" means dead in Calia's case but it is very possible. |

After having fought some guards and abominations, the strange duo decides fighting the prison guards will not work and comes up with a plan: Andarin will distract the guards, and Trevor will free the prisoners. Knowing that he has no other choice, the paladin agrees. Trevor quickly manages to get a hold of a keyring and opens the door of a cell in which a girl was locked up.

Revision as of 20:47, 25 April 2011
Busy (also known as DND or Do Not Disturb) means a player does not want to be bothered (chat, trade, etc.).
In WoW, Busy Mode can be set by typing /dnd or /busy. The name of the character will show up as <Busy>Name, and an auto-response will be sent to anyone who sends the flagged user a tell. Additional information can also be set; for example /dnd killing an elite. (See Away for more details.)
Unlike Away, Busy does not include an auto-response to ready checks or have any auto-clear option.
Patch changes and hotfixes
Patch 3.3.5 (2010-06-22): The <AFK> tag was replaced with <Away>, and the <DND> tag was replaced with <Busy>.
