World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic Review

mmorpg.com:

Now that I’ve been able to spend more time in Wrath of the Lich King Classic and raiding is in full swing, I have started to remember everything I enjoyed about Wrath the first time around. The second time around still feels more buggy than the first time, but I am enjoying the experience.

As I mentioned in my Review in Progress , when I first started leveling, I wasn’t having much fun with it. Initially, the storyline in Howling Fjord didn’t grab me the way I expected it to, after all, I recalled Borean Tundra being incredibly boring so I perhaps had my expectations for Howling Fjord a bit high, to begin with. Part of this is down to a trick of memory. For its time, the storylines in the Wrath zones were well done, and I really enjoyed them. However, at this point, I very much prefer the clear story path through a zone with the option of doing quests which are obviously side quests. This was less bothersome to me in The Burning Crusade Classic because I didn't remember the leveling story being particularly good, so I was just trying to move through that quickly. I expected Howling Fjord to be fun from the beginning, and it just wasn’t.

The turning point came when I started working on the questline for the Wrathgate, which I don’t remember doing before max level when Wrath originally launched. Or, at the very least, I didn’t complete it until much later in the leveling process the first time around. This time I had the addon Attune, which my guild uses to help coordinate the various attunement processes for guildies. This helped me find the questline early on, keep focused on it, and not get sidetracked. Having a solid continuous storyline to follow really helped me get into the grove of Wrath Classic and
