Also, I feel like such a whore, but I really do like the concept behind the Deathknight. He's basically my DPS warrior but with some self-healing capabilities and DoT spells. It's the character I would have loved to have played when I started 3 years ago.
I really want to play one, but it's like being a goth kid listening to Bauhaus and having to convince your friends and yourself that you'd like to buy the new Britney Spears album. lol

BT and HF are both contested areas; there are towns for both in both areas. You get to Howling Fjord by taking the boat to Northrend from Menethil Harbor (the boat that used to go to Darnassus) rather than Stormwind. That fact is the only reason Borean Tundra is so crowded; half the people haven't realized you can even go somewhere other than BT.TheExodu5 said:
I like the fact that some people just lose their minds at Expansion time in the AH. People are selling cobalt ore for 300 gold a stack :lol
Can't figure out if I want to venture into Northrend yet. Hit 70 this morning, and still have plenty of BC content to enjoy (returning vanilla player). XP gains in Outland are fine, but I'm wondering about the quest rewards in Northrend. Big upgrade over higher level BC quest reward greens / blues?
Crowd factor has something to do with it too. I'm listening to people in vent and guild chat complaining about mob stealing, corpse camping, and lag while I've essentially got the higher level BC zones to myself, questing and making solid xp gains.

The quest rewards thus far in BT haven't been that much better than old world imo, at least not to the extent that BC was over vanilla wow. I'm definitely having crowding issues on my server. I think I'm gonna go back to outlands for a while and do stuff there. Far less frustrating.

Yeah, so far I only replaced 2 crappy PVP items with 2 Utgarde Keep quest reward blues. I have SSC gear that's lasting me pretty well into 72.Mr Nash said:
I have not ran into the issue of overcrowding in my server, but Silver Hand kinda sucks and half of the population are probably RPing cybersex with Death Knights.

You'll want to get to Northrend ASAP. Quests award 20,000 XP, lots of dungeon mobs award 2500 XP, etc. The XP gains aren't even comparable. The BC quests aren't going anywhere, and with low-level quest tracking you'll be able to go back and do them whenever you want.
The quest rewards aren't a huge leap ahead like what happened from vanilla WoW to BC (most people replaced their endgame epics with quest greens from Hellfire, when BC came out), but they will absolutely be an improvement, for you.
Just running the two entry-level dungeons, I replaced my mainhand weapon I got from Herioc MgT, and my offhand, which was badge loot. And my bracers, which came from Heroic Setthek.

The insatiable appetite for green Cobalt tanking gear on my server is almost silly.

So far I haven't replaced any of my epics, but there were a lot of things that were reaaally close in stats. If you have no BC epics then you're going to get massive upgrades with the Northrend quest items. If you have BC epics you'll probably replace most, if not all, by 75 the way things are going for me.

It's weird. It's almost like they set out to make a set out of the quest rewards. It seems to me like every green looks the same as the other greens of the same armor type you're awarded with for other quests. And it's all brown and stuff so it matches.
Oh, and I haven't upgraded any of my S3/Kara gear. The stats on those greens is all over the place. I think I might start replacing stuff with blues from the third dungeon though.

I dunno ... going from Vanilla to TBC ... I never replaced my 2H Axe from C'thun until some big quest line in Netherstorm .... and I don't see myself getting rid of Cat's Edge until near 80.
Though for armor pieces, I have picked up quite a few blues (from instances) and greens that aren't very far off from being better than the epics I'm wearing.

Weird. The welfare epics they gave out during the Scourge Invasion are better than the quest rewards for HF.
I still have two crappy axes since I never grabbed some purple weapons, so I want to get the first 2h green axe though, then go to Borean and get it's clone. Titan's Grip FTW.

I somewhat wonder whether it would be worth it to try and race to level up (which I haven't done at all so far), or to just continue to hoard saronite like it's nobody's business like the money hungry freak I am.
Someone mentioned an uncommon ore drop called Azurite, but I haven't seen it even once and my mining is 450 already, and I defintely have not seen a node. Any clue?

Dunno if I'd agree with that. Kill/Fetch quests are of course going to be the bread and butter of any mmo, but wotlk for me has gone above and beyond in having interesting/funny/exciting scripts and encounters, far beyond the odd bombing-run which were the standout unique quests from BC.
And that's just from finishing Howling Fjord and doing some of Dragonblight.

I'm gonna need to save up some gold, I really want the Bear and the Snow Gryphon and I still need to buy epic mount training for 3 characters now, ugh!! That's between me and a friend but still.
I have about 10,000g at the moment
By the by, I was selling some old epics that I'll likely never equip again, and is it just me or do these things suddenly sell for a lot more? I sold a shitty Karazhan 1H for 45g.

lolPut in far too much time so far:lol
The first thing I noticed is, It really has separated those with a few brain cells and those with none. So many people just jam into the same few areas. And they will only go in straight progression. Hub A to Hub B to Hub C. Mix it up a bit, Start with one of the later hubs if you opened it and work down. Its been bad, but I've notice those whom been keeping a heads up. Seem to be leveling two to three hours faster, avoiding ganking, and have very little mob competition.
Now to the game. Fantastic. So much better then BC. The quests themselves are by far the best they ever been. Much more varied, more hubs, etc. Its still the basic 3, Collect, Kill X, or travel to X. But they don't keep you at the same hub too long and they change up the quests enough to make them feel different.
Visuals/Music. Wonderful. Unlike outland which felt so bland or with both Vanilla and BC, where one area had one feeling. They mixed them up. Dragonblight had a forest/ghostly area on the west, a winter barren in the middle, and then a scourage invasion on the east. All with a different feeling.
My only dissapointment has been, The classes needed more then 2 new spells. Worse is when some the classes needed those spells to begin with. Worse when some of them are just cheap ripoff of other classes or should have been in since day 1. Specifically each tree should have gotten something.

No way, BT is shit on a stick compared to anywhere else in the game. Dragonblight was a religious experience compared to BT.Farnack said:

Borean Tundra is the only zone I've been through so far (just hit level 71 as Alliance) and I'm really loving it.
