As I'm an EU-type, the forever changed Azeroth made its debut yesterday. The first thing I did was give my priest a spec...boring... The second - I rolled a new UD rogue.
After I'd messed around on both beta and the PTR I knew that questing was forever changed and that I was about to have an amazing time levelling - something which had definitely lost a bit of the shine after the first 10 or 20 times... And yet, I still completely underestimated how fun it was.
I chose undead, mainly because it was one I hadn't done on beta, and boy...was it different. And in the best kind of way. I was completely absorbed in all this lore, and the huge feel of the world in a way that had been completely beyond the vanilla levelling experience. I fought alongside Sylvanas in Silverpine... Everything flowed seemlessly, I never felt like I was wasting time running around - anything and everything I did had a point.
I entered Hillsbrad, where I ended up doing one of the most horrifying quests I've ever done - collecting spider eggs off infested bears - talk about disgusting. Although in all honesty I think that was personal squemishness more than anything - I loved bashing in the heads of human seedlings, however, so it evened out.
At the end of a night of playing I was level 28, with about 5 hours played. And I hadn't even complained once about how much I hated levelling rogues. That in itself is an achievement. Blizzard, you honestly have outdone yourself with this one. I've said since I first saw beta, and now it's on live the magnitude of this has truely hit home, and I love it.
