It’s been awhile since we last chatted, old chums. Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone, and the new year is just around the corner. I didn’t choke on a turkey leg or anything, I’ve honestly just been so engrossed with Warcraft that I haven’t had the urge to post. I figured I owed myself one more post here before the new year starts, so let’s get that over with.
Last week I finally hit 58 and graduated to Outland for the first time in my Warcrafting career. Moving up through 64, I’ve now visited Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh, Nagrand and the hub city, Shattrath. I’ve been really impressed with the level of detail in the world design so far. The zones are visually stunning, with well thought out layouts and very clearly defined paths of progression. There’s been a few unique quest experiences, but so far little has changed on that side of things since Classic. My understanding is Blizzard didn’t get particularly creative with the quests until Wrath, so I’m excited to see that. Even so, the XP has been coming in shockingly fast, and I’m leveling up far faster than I expected. I’m half way to 70 and the next expansion already.
Here’s some photos from my travels so far:
