I totally love the new Orgrimmar!
The level of detail is a lot higher on the zone maps.
And the changes are neat.
I'll definitely miss a lot of the older content.
But there is newer content to experience and learn all over again.
The sense of nostalgia for the old will hit at some point, but maybe not for months (years?). Right now it's all new and exploring it is a lot of fun. I have a level 21 shaman that I intend to level up so she can run with my team of four level 31 warlocks, and I'm looking forward to doing so through new quests and content. I only got to do a bit of running around last night on my 80 shaman and didn't get to see much, but I loved it all. Spent the first half of my evening doing a bunch of upgrades to my computer and am able to run graphics at ultra now, which makes it even better.
I'm really looking forward to flying around Azeroth to explore it more fully.
Org is friggin crazy. It looks like something out of beyond thunderdome.
I'm not going to miss old Azeroth at all. I've been waiting years for the world to show the impact of things we've been doing for half a decade. I just hope they keep the changes coming. Not necesarily the big stuff, but getting Danath's statues back up, repairing the busted towers where Deathwing sat, etc.
I mean, the world has been optimized for flying so they shouldn't be able to use the "well, everything is sort of set in stone, and we can't change a lot in the old world" excuse any more.
Oh, and fixing the door to the stockade, which male draenei can't quite fit through.
I am really looking forward to doing all the new quests. I did Silverpine Forest on one of my teams (L25) and I was really impressed. I like how some quests will complete and give you a follow up 'in the field', without returning to the quest hub. Drop rates seemed to have improved for collections while mob density has decreased in conjunction with faster respawns.
I did SFK last night and I was impressed with the quest changes there too. It appears there won't be respawns anymore due to the npc's taking up positions after you down a boss.
I may not upgrade my accounts for a long time. There is so much to content to go through and enjoy before moving on. I am a little upbeat, almost happy, to redo all of Azeroth again.
