I love it when the bring back people from way back when.
I just got the quest "Report to Gryan Stoutmantle... Again" and that made me happy.
Also Nesingwary obviously.
Yeah, I actually smiled and thought "Oh cool, he's here?" when I read that. You probably also noticed that Old Blanchy was there!
I also chuckled a bit when I saw two deer, a skunk, and a rabbit walking around together near that camp, partiuclarly their names. I only remember Bambina and Mother of Bambina.
I love the DEHTA line a lot, as I do the the Explorer line in Fjord. The expansion does a lot of epic stuff right, but the little funny stuff may be even better.
I mean, clicking on a dwarf and seeing the following 2 quests:

I loved that. And then he goes on to tell me he didn't recognize me in my new gear, then ask me if I still owned the staff, or was it the chausses, or did I pick the tunic. Made me grin like a crazy bastard. Then I went off the kill Arugal. Again.
Man the Staff/Chausses/Tunic you got from that quest always lasted you like 15 friggin levels.
When my girlfriend was leveling her druid, we were grouping for everything, not really doing instances, and operating under the triple experience deal.
As a result she used her westfall staff until we'd been in outland for about half an hour.

With an inert specimen of the blight compound complete and the activating agent in hand there only remains a need for a suitable shell to house the components.
Southwest of here, on the shores of central Dragonblight, is where you will find the Emerald Dragonshrine. Within the shrine you will find the hardened remnants of a green dragon's tear drop. I don't know the whole story, but apparently they cry a lot right before they die. Go figure.
Go to the Emerald Dragonshrine and gather tears.
And, of course, an old Classic (and still my personal favorite):
This can't be Argelmach! Argelmach was killed ten years ago. How can I be sure? I was the one who killed him.
He was a despicable dwarf, hell-bent on twisting my life's work to meet his diabolical needs. It seems that the wicked always find a way to escape justice.
If this is Argelmach's handiwork then he must be destroyed. I will need samplings of his latest creations. With the proper samples, I may be able to stop this uprising. The creations guard Argelmach in Blackrock Depths.
Summary:
Find and slay Golem Lord Argelmach. Return his head to Lotwil. You will also need to collect 10 Intact Elemental Cores from the Ragereaver Golems and Warbringer Constructs protecting Argelmach. You know this because you are psychic.

Like the four turtles and a rat in the sewers of Dalaran surrounded by toxic materials.
Get it?

I'm currently trying to decide whether I want to side with the Oracles, or the Frenzyheart.
I went with the Oracles, because the Frenzyheart are assholes.
Also, re: quests, I guess the devs got a little ballsy this time around, because aside from hacking corpses up with a machete and setting them on fire, there are also "jesus thats' pretty fucked up" quests, like the one where you poke little baby apes with a sharp stick to provoke its mother, who you then murder right in front of them.
But that's not the worst part.
The devs actually gave the baby apes screams. Well, yelps. But still, they actually made a sound effect for "hurt, frightened baby ape".
I mean, the DK starter quests were kind of surprising in their cruelty, but even then, you had a character of pure evil behind them, so they were understandable.
This was just "hey, go poke baby apes until their mom comes out, then kill her".
So I finally got to do Wrathgate over the weekend. I'm glad I avoided spoilers for that, because it was damn awesome to be surprised by it.
I moved from dragonblight into grizzly hills then zul'drak. I really liked dragonblight, and not just because of wrathgate. But I have to say that I really loved Grizzly hills for some reason. My only gripe was that there were a lot of 'we need 10 meats from animals' quests. Which are usually a pain, but the music in Grizz just blew me away. I loved it there.
Hate zul'drak though. It feels really out of place in Northrend to me.

Um....did you miss the Violet Hold torture quest?
"Well we can't torture, so here's this cattle prod. Go find out the info we need."
It's more wrong that after finishing it up, my leveling partner kept zapping him.
She's Canadian. The being nice is a lie!

You get to blow up a few things with dynamite this time as well. I laughed so damn hard when I blew up a mammoth.
I somehow missed that one, but I did do a very similar quest where you fight those huge worms, wait for one to open its mouth and then whip an explosive in there. Boom, worm meat for all.

There's also the fact that the camp there is a reference to The Big Lebowski. Lebronski (and his rug), Walt, and at a nearby dig site, Donny! Too bad there weren't any nihilists.

They missed a golden opportunity to reference tremors with that quest.
Just hit level 74 and got to go help my friend with this epic questline:
Ring of Blood!
The funny thing was, apparently I hadn't done it yet. 10k xp and ~10g per round at level 74, works for me.
I also finished up the Wrathgate questline last night. I had seen the Wrathgate video before, but now that I sat down and played through the series of events leading up to it...it got a big wow from me in context.
A late starter to WotLK, I'm finishing up the last of the Howling Fjord quests and enjoying playing an awful lot -- it's the little details that really make it.
They've crammed so much in there it actually feels like a strange theme park.
The quest storylines so far are pretty compelling, though, and I'm actually interested in reading the quest text for once.
Some favourite moments so far:
- the 'turd on the rug' remark at the Explorer Camp.
- Controlling the hawk to snatch eggs on the side of the cliff face.
- making the Vrykul prisoner in Westguard Keep drink the potion which... (mild spoiler)
makes him go crazy, then turn into a slime, then EXPLODE! The reactions of the guards are great, especially the ones that throw up.

It would only be better if they talked about the dragon's tears turning into jellybeans.

I like the one where you kill dwarves and then saw their skulls open and collect their brains.

I love the completion response:
Well, sir, I have to say that you went about that particular business with a bit of zeal.
<The sergeant looks at you warily.>
Anyway, if you don't mind, I'll be taking my machete back now. It looks dull and we wouldn't want you to accidentally slip and carve me up too.
Well I thinking about flipping a coin and transfering
It's going to cost me a ton of cash hense why really want a free transfer or blizzard to be smart about transfers instead of lets open a new realm and then count the cash
My thought about transfers is
Take 3 realms they need to dump some players onto other servers
Windrunner needs horde and needs to lose allaince
3 other realms need allaince
Well I had a graph but it looks like crap here
Lets make one of the realms you transfer to a pvp server for whatever reason
I would add more realms but it was confusing to make a simple chart with text
Instead of giving one realm to transfer to why not 3 or 4 and even out the pop across the realms instead of making a new one?
Go down into the Dalaran sewer and find the shark under the platform where the vendor that sells the skull pet is.
Segacedi <Sewer Shark>
I knew that was from something, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I was like "Sega CD-i, I get the name, but why on a shark?" I didn't even notice the <sewer shark> bit.
Anyone planning on starting a new character that is not a DK?
NO. NEVER. NEVER AGAIN! I'M FREE AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Until they add an 11th class. If they do that and don't give us more character slots per realm, I'm gonna go create an international incident, starting with Blizzard HQ
Forar on
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

I rolled a mage this morning to level with some friends. Does this make me a bad person?
Speaking of the heirloom stuff, I wonder how they do with account-bound stuff if you make a new character on a different server. Some guy to talk to to get it, I guess.

Tier 3 was the best looking across the board anyhow. So they can reuse it all they want for all I care.
Not to mention it sorta fits. Naxx was the T3 instance.
There's also the fact that the camp there is a reference to The Big Lebowski. Lebronski (and his rug), Walt, and at a nearby dig site, Donny! Too bad there weren't any nihilists.
I didn't see them yet, I'll have to check that out.

Starts in dragonblight for horde it is http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11978
alliance http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12325
also, be careful. don't read too many of the comments as towards the end of the long chain, the quest names even give a little bit away.
B.net: Kusanku
It starts in Wintergarde Keep from the main guy there. It's a pretty long quest line.
Also, the phasing in Dragonblight is just...awesome.
It would only be better if they talked about the dragon's tears turning into jellybeans.

I still don't know why people cannot do the last part of it
NO. NEVER. NEVER AGAIN! I'M FREE AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
