Ding 71!
Honorshammer is now level 71 and still questing in Howling Fjord. My playtime started with me putting on the robot suit for the Dwarves at the Explorer’s Outpost and ended up on an island full of Walrus people.
I was sent to investigate a cave at Baelgun’s Excavation site. Inside there was a very Titanish looking guy talking about Uldar (a future raid zone in the Storm Peaks). What was strange was that this guy was talking about undoing the work of the Pantheon. The Pantheon is the Titan High Council, and this guy looked like a Titan. Why would one Titan want to undo the work of the Titan High Council?
I love this kind of stuff.
I was a little confused by the first quest that the Walrus man gave me. He sent me to investigate Shield Hill. When I got there it was crawling with Undead. I picked up some clues from some ancient Vrykyl. I go back to him and he sends to me to his village but starts talking about pirates. Did I miss something?
I'm supposed to go talk to a Goblin so maybe things will clear up when I talk to him.
I am starting to feel a little behind the curve. I just hit 71 last night and most people I know are already up to 73. Of course, then I remember that there are people who are waiting for Wrath to appear under their Christmas tree. I think I’ll be okay.
I’ll keep plugging away at it tonight and hopefully find a group to run The Nexus with as a Tank or DPS.
Edit: I've noticed a palatable pressure to level quickly this Expansion, that I didn't notice in Burning Crusade despite being in the initial leveling curve both times.

I think that's what is going on.
Once my logic kicks back in I'll be able to tell you why levelling is completely unneeded until you feel like it... *waits*
I understand the urge to want to gear up and see what cruel means of death that the brains at Blizzard have devised; I don't understand the urge to conquer everything that is available in the game <60 hours. I'm at 73, and am just fine with the progress. There's exploration and quest achievements to take care of in the meantime.
Guess they'll have plenty of time to farm eternals and enchanting mats - goodbye server economy!
With the introduction of ten man raiding, small guilds like mine now have the opportunity to compete with the big name guilds on their server.
The lack of long attunement chains and rigerous entry level gear requirements makes raiding all that much more accessible, and a sense of eagerness to re-enter the world of raiding propels me on.
That and the fact that the quests are just so well done. I find myself staying up hours later than I intended just to see what happens next.
I have played a Paladin since Classic WoW and have never enjoyed any quests as much as the ones in the Dragonsblight zone.
