bigscrap84: Honestly there is no better leveling experience then the human starting zones. Is absolutely perfect the story is incredible and it's fun
LedosKell: The Defias questline has lived rent free in my head for the better part of 20 years. The entire story of VanCleef, the Stonemasons, Katrana Prestor, it just immersed you into Stormwind in such a great way. What's fascinating to me about the Human starting zone is virtually all of it is fighting other Humans, with a scattered handful of others in it (aside from the Defias it's primarily Gnolls but also some Orcs in Redridge, some undead in Duskwood, Kobolds, and Murlocs). But the Defias make up the bulk of your enemies. You aren't being forged as a soldier to defend against the wrath of the New Horde, you're slaughtering bandits who could very well be your neighbors and family who have flocked to this charismatic craftsman cast aside by the Kingdom he was once sworn to. It's a low intensity civil war ravaging the outer areas of the Kingdom, all because of the machinations of an insidious political figure purposely trying to usurp power within the Kingdom for herself for her own dark agenda. It's great stuff you get bits at a time over the course of these zones plus questlines in later levels all the way up to level 60.
I am biased towards this little piece of Azeroth. I am not someone who came to WoW through WC3, so I wasn't at all familiar with Lordaeron or WC3's story when I first began playing. The Defias were my introduction to Warcraft Humans and Warcraft in general, but Humans are something you can get in virtually every flavor of fantasy. The Defias not quite as much. Their story as a whole is something really special and I believe they hold a special place in a lot of WoW player's hearts, myself definitely included.
MichaelLoda: I was just thinking recently how good the story is around the first Alliance zones around the Defias Brotherhood, so good
allisonseamiller: Wow! This is great. Please do more of these. The dwarven experience with the Dark Iron thread would be a great one. From Dun Morogh through through Loch Modan and the Wetlands, finishing with one last quest as you enter Arathi, and then it comes back near max level as you get into the BRM area. There was a real sense of continuity that those were all dwarven lands. Another great one would be that eleven experience from Terdrassil through Ashenvale. Or the undead experience Tirisfal and Silverpine. That one feels like it drops off a bit early, you get past those mages at the end of Silverpine and you're out in the world, but the undead have a lot of late-game lore in the plaguelands so it balances out.
Hypnotically_Caucasian: Defeating Morbent Fel was x1000 times more satisfying than anything in Shadowlands
MichZilla90: As a life long Horde main, I couldn’t agree more, especially with the option of going to Khaz Modan and seeing Blackrock Mountain loom over you wherever you go, and once you finish all those zones you finally get to see a little closer to the volcano without dying instantly to a fire imp.
raider762: The Paladin class quest to protect the widow in Westfall was fun.
zoltanjambrik4028: What I especially love about these four zones,is that it's clearly visible they were part of the same forest. Westfall was clearcut for farmlands,in Redridge the mountains start,but if you look,you can see that they were all one forest some time ago. And the stories somewhat intertwined,too.I just wished they were more connected.
herrpdurrp: The fog of duskwood is so iconic to me. The lack of visibility really ups the aura of horror, and Mor'Ladim can really sneak up on you. Even little details down to the eyes in the bushes.
fantasycraft-forge: For me, the starting zones in classic WoW TBC are the core of World of Warcraft. They are so different from each other, which makes them special. The music, scenery, and story are all unique. The human starting zone offers the most classic experience in the RPG genre - it doesn't get better than that. Awesome video!
