The First Weekend: Part 2

So, the weekend ended...unfortunately. But, on the plus side we both reached level 23! We finished up the Ghostlands at level 19 and started our adventure into the rest of Azeroth. The first destination was the Undercity and then we ventured into The Barrens, Ashenvale, and Stonetalon Mountains.

Restarting the game as a Blood Elf has been an interesting experience. The whole goal of the first 19 levels was to prove to the other Horde races that we are a strong and determined race worthy of standing beside the other races. You definitely get the feeling of segregation and even a sense of hesitation in accepting the Blood Elfs. I actually have read on the forums that some guilds are not allowing Blood Elfs to join... I know it probably is not a big issue, but it makes you think about the effects of anonymity on people.

Anyways, regardless of the segregation issues, I felt that Blizzard did a great job integrating the Blood Elfs as another race. Just as you finish up the Ghostlands, the quest lines lead you to several familiar locations (Tauren Mill, Stonetalon, ect.) to continue your journey.

And the best news of all...I replaced my outfit with something much more appealing to the eye. Enjoy some more screenshots from our adventures.

Yeah, I keep hearing about this "Tauren Mill" place, but I have never found it. Maybe, there really is a cow level, and that is it's name?
