But yeah, the world is fucking huge. And there are several zones that aren't even open yet, not to mention an entire continent that's not even on the map yet. I'm not clear on how people get bored with travelling when questing, I'm at level 50 and I still love looking at the artwork. Seems I notice something new every day.
Have you found the Altar of Storms in the Blasted lands? I found it last night and my jaw dropped
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Yep. It was part of the 'Buy One, Get One Free' special at the Hellfire Emporium.

...And the Dark Portal is simply fucking cool. Needs some Infernals, but then again, what isn't cooler with Infernals?

WoW has been giving me nothing but trouble for the past month. Reinstalled it at least 10 times so far. Crashes like crazy, hangs up during patching, hangs up during installation....bullshit.

So you mentioned...it's gotta be either a driver conflict or some bit of hardware that WoW hates, and as I haven't had even a smidgen of a similar problem...

It's always been like this. Now it quits right when I start it up, and now I can't even reinstall it. Hopefully, my new comp won't be as fussy. MMmmm, WoW at 1900x1200 *drools*.

It's been about the most stable game I have purchased in the last few years. COH gave me all sorts of problems

WoW is by FAR the buggiest game I have ever played. It's probably just my comp setup, though, since it runs fine on other comps, even ones lower ended than mine.

I get very occasional hard-locks, maybe once or twice a week, usually after playing it for 6+ hours straight. Not perfect, but not bad at all.

Lucky bastard, mine quits (IF I actually get it installed) every 2 minutes. :(

Found it in my low 30s. I snuck in by going through the unsculpted areas you can access by heading up the mountains south of the Rotting Orchard in Duskwood. Got to watch a Kazzak raid through my spyglass just out of luck. Got a great view of Kharazan on the way.

I can't believe you want to set Deathwing onto the world. There isn't much that can even harm him, considering his supra-strong Goblin made armour of DOOM.

However, the Mac-Daddy of all evil Dragons would be a sight to see.
