Happy Friday, everyone! Today, we return to the Burning Crusade to take a look at a neat revelation I made while collecting some "vintage" WoW Classic magazines... I wonder what the Blade's Edge Mountains could have looked like if this ended up happening! :)

Blade's Edge is such a Hodge-podge of ideas that it sounds like they were planning for the zone to have an assault on Gruul's Lair-type scenario at one point then ran out of time. I have every reason to believe that this is because the zone is a questing area and it kept being put on the back burner. It would have made for a much more compelling story but it just turned into Dustwallow Marsh v2.

@Jediwarlock 5 ай бұрын

I agree! At least Dustwallow got a pretty solid overhaul in TBC compared to the overall Blade's Edge.

Wait, what happened to Dustwallow during TBC? I’ve only played the vanilla and modern quest lines.

@Jediwarlock 5 ай бұрын

@@suomar-art Lots of new quests related to the Defias/Missing Diplomat, the Mudsprocket goblin town, more quests sprinkled throughout... I think it's the "true" version of the zone we never see in Vanilla. Still not a great zone but definitely more content than there was originally.

Holy shit, I remember that website! :D Man, I was SO hyped. Sitting around clicking hyperlinks and reading blurbs got me so hyped, you're right. XD Oh, and the WoW fanart gallery back in the day was just amazing. SO MUCH great artwork. I've no idea if it's still there, there new website is a lot more "slick" for lack of a better word. One thing I want to mention with regards to the promotion of TBC was that they hyped up the Rockflayers as this exciting new monster, and they made it sound like they were going to be some kind of defining new factor for the expansion. Bizarre.

@Jediwarlock 5 ай бұрын

Love your thoughts! They definitely got downgraded to kind of a side threat... maybe they were supposed to matter more within Gruul's Lair or something? :)

@1OnlyOneOnlyOne1 5 ай бұрын

@@danieltodorov7753 Hey man. I am happy you asked. I just try to fill my days with useful activities like reading, watching educational videos. For example I enjoy history, geography and religious topics. I also make shitty videos some times. I will never get 1 million subs, but feel good even if I can help 1 person. Speaking of helping people, that is the best natural source of dopamine. Sometimes I go out and see homeless/hungry/beggers so I try to offer them what I can. I also started doing physical exercise. Nothing too heavy, just burpees/pull ups/pressups. I quit doing drugs and that opened up a lot of time too. I cook sometimes twice a day because I am hungry af since i became more active. I also like cleaning my appartment. I love living in a clean space. Ultimately, it comes down to faith. I am a Muslim and my life should evolve around God and not making games my god. I just kinda spend all my days focusing on becoming a better man and a better person. I am not trying to preach to you or show off. I am just saying that when you make spirituality and self improvement your goal, you feel real fulfilment and the days naturally fill up with lots of activities. I look better, I feel better. There is nothing wrong with games of course, but I am an addict. I get easily addicted to anything. I had to get honest with myself.

That’s really interesting! I’m glad they made the decision they did, Ogrila has an odd, otherworldly atmosphere and it includes one of the first mini games in WoW (It’s not very fun though lol) You can still do the reputation grind and get the Deathwing Brood cloak from there!

As a faithful player of The Alliance, I have always sought to obtain the mount of the Cenarion war hippogryph, for this the travel through the Blade's Edge Mountains was essential but I have to admit that since I first visited the city of Shattrath and knowing that it is a ruin, I always wanted to be able to see the rebuilt city or its original version. the same thing happens with Silvermoon

as much as...questionable the story of TBC was, the amount of content created for the expansion is astounding and I think it remains unbeaten: 2 new huge capital cities, one for each faction PLUS a third neutral one in the form of Shattrath, for a total of 3. No other expansion has ever done that. 2 new races, TWELVE new zones, a new form of player movement, flying, that was not surpassed until 15 years later with Dragonriding, many beloved raids, SIXTEEN dungeons, a battleground and 3 arenas. Amazing to think that another city could have come on top of all that. TBC went quite hard for its time.

Blade's Edge is one of my favourite zones for the variety. Some of the quests are honestly horrible, but I'd still rather do them than fall asleep trying to level in Nagrand. The Ogri'la and especially their simon quests are definitely some of the worst content in all of TBC, but they weren't relevant for very long anyway and you don't even need them to grind out exalted.
