::cough:: Of course, this is nothing, since we’ve at least two people reach level 80 on our server already. Sheesh.

I did, also, try a Death Knight… did the entire starting zone thing. (had to delete my low level mage, not only to make room but to use her name, cause Evenrue is totally DK material!)

Actually, I was neatly impressed. I unfortunately caught a couple glimpses of stuff happening before I got to do it myself, so some of the surprise was ruined… but on the whole, the entire induction of the Death Knight faction was really rather brilliant. The world phasing was very surprisingly subtle, though I did note with some amusement other people who expressed their shock in general chat. “Where are all the regular horses??” … And after I explained the world phasing concept, they were just totally incredulous.

I enjoyed encountering Arthas on a more personal level, even if he is totally the De Facto Unmitigated Bastard. Talking to Baron Rivendare, also, was kind of a kick… seeing him get assigned at least a mild personality when normally he’s sort of a faceless killer was definitely entertaining. After experiencing the whole DK thing, I was compelled to wowwiki all the related characters and get a firmer grounding on all the lore. Much fun.

Blizz getting more powerful storytelling tools… I would totally dig a job doing event scripting and/or quest design. >_<

(plus the ghouls were calling me “mama!” :X :X )
