I still have not tried the new lowbie quests for horde.<br /><br />@Rades, Wandering to a wrong area happens a lot less now being the call board always tells people where to go. If I where starting today however, that would be me. I would still want to explore, even more so places I am not supposed to be yet.<br /><br />Those where some great quest lines for sure. I both loved and hated the lost diplomat quest but that was part of its charm in my opinion.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-73357837255323935522011-07-01T04:57:35.392-04:002011-07-01T04:57:35.392-04:00Have you tried the horde side lowbie quests?

I recommend doing the whole 3 zones, tirisfal - silverpine - hinterlands. <br /><br />And make absolutely sure you stay by the budding psychiatrists in Hilsbrad. There is no quest, just stand there and listen to dialogue :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-44109819619280516322011-06-30T16:19:21.195-04:002011-06-30T16:19:21.195-04:00Elite zones within zones: Not quite "within z...Elite zones within zones: Not quite "within zone" but I have heard countless stories of poor new Forsaken players gleefully wandering around Tirisfal Glades and strolling through the Bulwark into the old Western Plaguelands, and getting MURDERED by diseased bears and spiders. I kind of miss that danger.<br /><br />I would say that WoW has moved into a more self-contained quest system, without the long lengthy chains, which is both good and bad. I do fondly remember reading about the epic Lost Diplomat chain, and heck, even the long mystery-themed chain as you learned about Stalvan Mistmantle was exciting. Then again, the new Worgen starting zone is arguably one questline, and it is definitely epic and dramatic in its own way.Radeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258438792268722044noreply@blogger.com
