So? *sharpens blade* You, wanna know what's it like on the other side? *looking along swords edge* It's a frecking mess!

Finally the portal has opened! Too bad though the elite guards, which were standing in front of the portal before, were removed a couple of weeks ago and replaced with a huge encampment, which is empty (up till now that is). I would've loved to fight my way through the elites and make a jump to safety into the portal. Well anyways, on entrance you'll be facing a battle between alliance and horde ??-elite NPC's. First you'll be thinking "WTF?" to soon understand that you don't have to join in, but instead you can go down the stairs to either right (alliance) or left (horde) to find your first FP (Flight Path). Surprisingly this FP takes you to Honor Hold (Alliance) without having you explored it's FP over there first on foot.

Once you've taken up your first quests and start your exploration, you'll notice the area's are pretty crowded with NPC's and many of 'm operate in little groups. So, stay on your mount and don't get stunned!

If you find a safe spot, be sure to look up the sky, it's beautiful! You'll see nebula's and planets with great lighting effects.

A quick look on the map learns that the new continent is a gigantic floating rock. Where you could make a safe jump into the sea in the 'old' world, you'll here be jumping to a certain death.

To gain lot's of Experience Points (XP), be sure to explore all area's first before doing your quests. The XP you gain varies between 1050-1180 for each area you discover. These points can differ because it depends on your current level, and so far I haven't explored all areas yet.

Is the add on more of the same? Yes it is! Does that make it a dull boring game? Most certainly not! There's loads of new stuff, I personally am looking forward to January 24th when the battle-arena's will be opened, here you can fight against little teams and gain honor and arena-points by which you can buy special items.

Well, I'm off to go and hit 70 so I can buy myself a flying mount. (I'll probably have to sell my car to gather up enough gold).
