I update it every few days.

So what have I done on the Beta?

Well so far the server has been well to say the least ....CRAP, regular restarts and lag so thats hindered progress a little.

But so far I've explored one of the starter zones, Borean Tundra and i went to Utgarde Keep a 71/72 instance thats located in the other starter area - Howling Fjord, and i played the Deathknight starter area.

Borean tundra, is ...okay theres plenty of quest lines Ive done about 80 quests so far and theres an achievement for 140 so as you can see alot.

Theres mountainous parts to it a few faams and of course some ice, when you go into these icy parts you get this cool effect around the screen that kinda helps with the atmosphere a little.

But yes lots of new NPC,s theres a few different quests and lots to do. So Borean Tundra is not bad IMO as a starter zone, I'm heading to Howling Fjord the other starter zone to try that out tonight, the opinion on that from others in my beta guild is its better looking and overall a better zone then BT but not as many quests.

Ohh and Ive dinged 71, im about 71.5 right now.

Utgarde keep is one of two starter dungeons the other being the nexus, its a pretty normal instance took just over an hour with a couple of wipes, as you can see the room with the flames is pretty cool at the start and the end on the ramparts and platform is kinda cool, but the majority is just in a normal run of the mill castle/keep design..so it does its just job as a starter instance okay...its not spectacular by any means is just a solid starter instance.

The Deathknight starter area is really really cool, it last for about 3/4 hours depending on how long you take on the quests but you start out working for the Lich King you get regular orders and stuff and you go about as part of the scourge over running a town,its really cool because how you do the quests the zone changes so you'll be questing among the farms then move on as you move on and look back the farms and area you intially were doing are now on fire as though you and the scourge have ransacked it, its a very cool effect and makes the whole storyline you play through really cool, shows you how you go from being a Deathknight under Arthas control to being a "Free" deathknight, there were some niggles with one of the quests where you fly a Frost wyvern, but over all the DK starter area is awesome and everyone needs to try it once

What's the 'feel' of the Death Knight like? As in, what is it like to play - is it fun, is it easy to get the grips on, is it a class you could see yourself playing a lot?
