I'm still mourning Auberdeen. Most of my toons are night elves because, as far as I'm concerned, shadowmeld > all other racials.

Darkshore KILLED leveling for me. someone should be punched in the face for what they did!

i'm and alt-o-holic, and getting the itch to move to another server to get the level ding frequently...then i sit and think that with my latest crop at 35ish, i out level the zones FAR too quickly.

Blizzard screwed the entire game up with Cataclysm. It is quite possibly the most appropriate name an expansion has ever been given.

This.


I have yet to play an MMO that did not start immediately dying out once retarded developers decided it was time for an "overhaul".


AC2 and SWG are two big examples. You simply DO NOT EVER COMPLETELY change the game after retail release. Changing the old zones was the stupidest idea ever. They should have left them alone and just added a LOT more new ones. Instead, they made everything look destroyed because they thought that was somehow interesting.

When I first saw booty bay, I knew I would NEVER go back to the old zones and level new toons.


If GW2 flops my gaming hobby is over.

And then I remember that I hate the land since Cataclysm. I want the cities back the way they were. I enjoyed leveling before and now I don't. Can anyone else relate?



I actually loved the quest changes in the lower level zones, I enjoyed 1-60 on the toons I've leveled since.

I agree. While some areas still look good, and the new added areas too, some of the old ones were way better before. Darkshore and Westfall with the retarded PERMANENT tornadoes... please... Loch Modan, one of my favorite areas, completely ruined. That stupid crack full of lava in the middle of Barrens. No more Thousand Needles and Great Lift. Very bad.



I am not so much annoyed with the changes its just the permanence of the damage. As in, nothing ever gets fixed or completed. Blizzard for all their imagination can never allow stuff to slowly progress except when expansions drop. So then, the damage in Stormwind will always be that extensive, down to the stupid glowing damage, and that fort will never get built in Westfall.

As for the comment about Darkshore, atrocious what they did there, same goes for Westfall.

The real problem is that low level zones are deserted as lvling is fast and most toons prefer to LFG or BG to lvl.

Nostalgia aside, the revamp of the old zones is definitely a big plus for me - it helps me not to get bored.

Some zones are better, WPL and EPL, many unchanged that much, like Arathi and Hillsbrad.

Loch Modan, Westfall, The Barrens, 1k Needles, Darkshore = Absolutely destroyed

The biggest heartbreaker of all...Azshara...yes, it was under utilized, but they turned it into Six Flags.

I spent many hours in Azshara on many toons fishing. I miss it, yeah.

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

i liked the zone changes at first because it was something different (barely in some zones) but when i fly around these days i too think the changes are pretty stupid. has a cheapened gimmick feel to it. the old zones were more timeless.


however i use dungeon finder almost exclusively on my new toons now and i think i would even if the old zones were unchanged, so it does not affect me all that much.
