First things first: Zangarmash is pretty, but a pain in the ass to navigate in. I was excited to be there and out of HELLfire Peninsula, but it's like "out of the frying pan, into the fire". My first impressions of Zangarmash was that I was that I wanted to hang out there more, but that lasted about an hour or so. It reminded me of the Sporali Cavern in Everquest with the large mushrooms everywhere. Traversing large lakes and not having any real landmarks made navigation tough.



Telredor is a nice little town, but it has this annoying elevator which glides a few feet from the platform before levitating up or down. On the lower end you can just jump to it, but on the top end there's a 10 foot gap that you can fall off of if you're not paying attention. It didn't happen to me, but I saw people misjudge the distance and SPLAT.





The coolest part of the zone is this spire in the center of serpent lake which has some energy vortex spinning up into the sky. Very impressive.

I was able to score a decent PUG for The Underbog. We went all the way to the last boss without a healer, our DPS was that impressive. We burninated our entire way to the last boss when one person had to leave and we replaced him with a priest.





After finishing all the quests there, I made a run for Terokkar.


First entering Terokkar

The best way I can describe Terokkar is a "beautiful nightmare" if that makes any sense. The greenish tint gives a sense of gloom, while the landscape is mesmerizing.

I had an "oooooooooh!" moment when I first entered The Bone Wastes - there's a rather large, destroyed building which gives you the same sense of scale as I felt when seeing the Spires of North Karana for the first time in Everquest.





Last night I spent some time just running around finishing quest after quest. I started burning down spiders for Netherweave Spider Silk for 18-slot bags which I can now make (woot!).

63.5 now, I plan on getting to 64 tonight, and 66-67 by the end of the weekend.
