First off i played with my crab's talent trees and put her into combat for a couple of minutes. Then i tamed a Royal Terromoth (not an easy proposition when rogues are ganking you). There is a lot of activity on the pvp ptr, which is a bit exciting for me as i frequent a fairly low-pop server. So after taming Periwinkle i headed off to see my favorite character in the game: the Lady Sylvanas. She finally looks like a high elf!!!
Heading out of UC the first thing you notice (besides all the people who are dueling) is the new tower.
On my server everyone duels outside Org. You can get on the new zep and it does fly off, but once it gets to where the load screen would pop up you are ported to the courtyard with the broken statue, back outside of UC.
Time to head for Org, i suppose. Oh, did you notice how i'm mounted on the zep? You can do that now, but still get dismounted while climbing the tower, which is good because otherwise you're likely to be running so fast that you'll fall off.
In Org i was perplexed. i couldn't figure out where the zep to nr was. It wasn't on the original zep tower as i had anticipated. i thought maybe the Skytower, but that wasn't it either. While i was in Org i visited the barber for the first time (but didn't partake in his wares) and saw my first working training dummies.
Heading back out of Org i discovered a new signpost pointing to the new zep tower. It's to the right as you come out of the city, behind where the Brewfest is being set up and Rocktusk Farm.
Flying back to UC i discovered the return of the zep vending machines.
The other areas i wanted to visit were the Eastern Plaguelands and Caverns of Time. The map has changed for epl but you cannot see the Ebon Hold hanging over Light's Hope Chapel just yet. Naxx is missing from the skyline above Strat, and i couldn't find it's entrance (though i've only used it a couple of times, so maybe i wasn't looking in quite the right place).
Back in Shattrath i visited A'dal and discovered that the portal to the Isle of Quel'danas has gone missing. (Edit: this is because there hadn't been enough dailies done on the Isle to get to that stage of the Shattered Sun Offensive, there is now a portal in Shatt on the PTR). This little alcove was frequently stormed by people who wanted to do dailies (probably wanting to do dailies to pay for the inscription items that were in the ah for 700g, which is ridiculous because those people can't keep the gold when Wrath goes live).
A quick port to the Caverns of Time later and i was standing before the entrance to Old Strat.
The heroic mode graphic has changed subtly, and as you can see i can't enter the instance until i ding 75. ):
Anyways, i might mess around with the new hunter talents soon (i'm specced survival now and haven't even used Explosive Shot yet) and play around with my two newest pets. My crab looks more awesome than i was anticipating, and i can't wait to intercept some rogues and pin them long enough to get at range. Deterrence isn't working as well as i'd like yet, but i'll be playing around with it some more, too. As you can probably see, i'm soooo excited about the expansion. On Monday my guild is scheduled to storm Naxx, i can hardly wait.
