There’s nothing like Karazhan for nostalgia.  I remember endless hours of fun roaming the halls of the haunted mansion fighting the good fight and slaying evil.  (Okay, no, actually I remember endless hours spent doing the atunement quest chains just to be able to get in the front door, but it’s still my favorite raid zone, hands down.)

Our characters get a real workout just from standing around idle.

In the inter-expansion doldrums I’ve been leveling up some alts.  Taking my worgen druid through Grizzly Hills was a bit of a jarring experience.  I kept wanting to tell the NPCs “That’s racist!”

Edit: Matthew Rossi of WoW Insider has apparently had much the same thought.

If you’re a female lore figure in World of Warcraft, expect to have your family and friends brutally slaughtered in front of your eyes.  It’s a rite of passage, like getting your driver’s license.

Even Donna, the little girl in Stormwind, is on her own child-sized version of a rampage of revenge against William for stealing her dolly.  It’s like Blizzard doesn’t know what else to do with female characters.  (Other than, of course, have them pop out a baby or two and then disappear entirely.)
