FUN / NOT FUN: Wrath of the Lich King Zones Edition

[@vikkran401]

I liked Sholazar Basin, I think that zone was good because it provided a much-needed break from all the other cold icy zones and just a simple change of scenery does wonders!

[@undeadkiller3632]

agree

[@BernhardBayer]

Also the questing in that zone was really dense and efficient.

[@mcfarvo]

Yes, it's the Ungoro crater of WotLK

[@ownyounext]

100% agreed. It was a break from the seriousness of all the other zones. It also had interesting storylines and the exp was great!

[@chywy_]

I play the music on repeat since I visited it

[@nedimkahrimanovic5394]

Scholazar Basin was a titan creation by Eonar or Freya I think, as was Un Goro crater in Vanilla. Thats why it is so lush and kinnda unusual for the northrend theme.

[@luvhair255]

[@mukwoorusilverhair4283]

@@kristijan8518 There's even a quest that teleports you to Un'goro on the back of a titan. It's one of the last quests from the quest chain from Freya.

[@rojopirata8593]

I love Storm Peaks. Everything about it is near perfection. The environment, the looming mountains and the fact that flying isn't just a convenience, but a requirement to move around. Not to mention the absolutely beautiful music. Definitely one of my top five zones, if not the first.

[@benchix2447]

it's literally flying simulator, the lore behind it is cool though.

[@sninctbur3726]

Dragonblight is perhaps the most lore-dense zone in the game. The quests and landmarks contain such important, fundamental lore for all the dragonflights, arcane magic in general, Malygos, Arthas, Aegwynn, the Scourge, taunka, nerubians, Forsaken, Scarlet Crusade, and even the politics between the Alliance and Horde. That's why I love it, plus the openness of the zone is fun to fly through.

[@Zack_Wester]

@@Nightstriker995 I think a huge problem whit Vashjir was that if all you skill was single target or jump between targets and not a multi target circle it sort of worked but if you was like a mage whit the fire ball area of effect spell is sucked as the vertical combat (aka any underwater combat) meant that the spell would just not work. ether the fireball would hit a mob on the sea floor (while you was 500 feet up fighting a mob or the group of mobs you targeted) as one of the mobs was 2 feet above the other it just did not get hit bt a spell whit a 20 feet area of effect.

[@yummyirl]

I always used to choose Borean Tundra over Howling Fjord to level (before Chromie time allowed me to revisit Pandaria for every single alt 😜). It's spacious in an enjoyably Barrens-esque kinda way and the quests are kinda quirky and just more my flavour. Big agree on Icecrown. That zone was a triumph of storytelling through questing and overall atmosphere.

[@BakedTates]

Sholazar Basin is the best leveling zone in Northrend. It also has the best music. What makes it really stand out as amazing is that it’s a break from the northrend theme, not that it’s bad but it’s a total pallet cleanser after 6-8 levels you’re thrust into this total curveball of a zone before returning to the bleak northrend theme in storm peaks (which is a way better and more coherent zone than Icecrown) all while listening to that amazing flute.

[@benf6601]

All of these zones were fun the first time through. Some maybe just weren't as replayable as others.

[@whtwolfgames7983]

You couldn't be more wrong about sholazar, that zone is all about being able to take a breather from the endless amounts of snow and ice, to enjoy the Hemet nezingwary quest which you just totally forgot to mention

[@SNAPKICK4114]

Most UNbased Nixxiom has ever been I think. Borean Tundra? Dragonblight? Sholazar? Not Fun? Did we even play the same zones. Icecrown and Storm Peaks and Howling Fjord are fun, but to put them above the previous three? I think his beard is absorbing nutrients from his brain somewhere.

[@GarroshTV]

Regarding borean tundra I think it heavily depends if you are horde or alliance. As Horde I absolutely love the Zone, as Alliance not so much

Blizzard has said that they had plans for Crystalsong but Dalaran being there meant they had to make questing there minimal because of the lag that would have happened if players had been massed in Crystalsong. Dalaran lagged sometimes from player density without questing. Wintergrasp was the most fun there in my opinion. I remember all the players sitting in Dal hoping they would get into the battle. Best battleground ever.

[@Misha13ify]

i hated this BG so much lol, because on my server (idk if it was a problem elsewhere) you could get to the zone with a flying mount when there was an actual BG going on, so if one side had more players to come over from Northernd personally and not trough battleground finder, they would usually win (i still don't know if it was a bug or not, but it seemed pretty unfair though, ale one hour for BG is way too long i think :D)

[@1fox3]

I was surprised when you said Sholazar is not memorable. It was definetly one of the most memorable zones for me when i played the original. The beast mastery quests really made it a wotlk version of Nagrand for me.

[@billnyedoesminecraftjoseph8379]

Taming spirit beasts so nostalgic

[@fizola88]

I would change Sholazar to fun, I really liked the quests and general theme of forgotten Titan greenhouse, which they used to test newly created animals (or was it titan watchers that did it?) And Icecrown glacier was not much fun until 3.2. There wasn't much to do, it was just a zone where Lich King still rules, we oppened few pathways but there is just too much of them. When Argent tournament came, whole zone changed to daily palyground before we finally hit LK, then it was truly fun (for me at least)

[@terribleatgames-rippedoff]

"Being on the boat, sailing between the two fjords(...)" I'm not saying one can't travel between two fjords using a boat, but that is not what is happening at the Howling Fjord. A fjord is not a cliffside, it is the actual body of water the boat is floating on between the landmasses.

[@BernhardBayer]

Borean Tundra has no variety? It is THE zone with the most variety in the whole expansion.

[@MrFluffytheTurtle]

I love the way Zul'Drak has this feeling like a 'ravaged atlantis' the questing isn't fast exp, but it's definitely immersive.

[@dimondblade]

A note on Crystal song Forest. Crystal song suffered due to Daloran existing in it. I think it was stated that they did not put many quests or things to do in the zone because it would of caused issues with every one being in daloran at the same time. Which sucks because Crystal song is gorgeous and its sucks that it was not utilized.

[@saranoxxis]

Aside from the fact that the infiltration questline and the Pa'troll quest alone are enough to deem Zul'Drak not fun, i think Scholazar is very cool. I agree it looks odd, among all the frozen wastelands of Icecrown, Wintergrasp and Borean Tundra, but it's nice to quest in a tropical looking zone for a change, plus it makes sense because it's a zone that, much like Un'goro, has been preserved by titan activity and the fact that, well, it has negative altitude. Quests are fun too (except maybe the 60 big game hunt).

[@jasonlastname129]

I would argue sholazar was the best zone in wotlk. It had a few plots going on and all of them were arguably top 5 most interesting minor quest hooks in wow. You have the weather being kept tropical by those 5 pillars made by the titans and an evil cult trying to destroy them. You had the scourge invasion and avalanche of snow where one pillar had already been rekt that you have to deal with. You have a werewolf vs weremurloc war going on where you can pick sides. And you have a Hemet nesingwary chain. Also the zone looked great, and the music was good. And the rivers heart is one of the coolest nature spots in wow. This zones way underrated.

[@MoosePolo]

Every wrath zone was amazing. That expansion was absolute masterpiece. I’ll never forget going to Warsong hold day 1 as a kid on my laptop. Peak experience

[@waderoberts3701]

Dragonblight is fun for Calderra (or at least painless and necessary for blues) and the introduction questlines, but it's all Howling Fjord after that. Farshire and Thassarian chains are Alliance rites of passage.

[@roger9328]

Watching this video makes me realize that in retrospect, I did not like Northrend very much. Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills were cool, but I think I'd put almost every other zone into "not fun" territory. Maybe it's just because I went alt crazy and leveled more characters in Wrath than any other xpac and got burnt out on all the zones by the end of it.

[@lazarus8453]

I always say that map design in Wotlk not that great. I think they kinda obsessed with adding variety and thats why we have so much meh zones.

[@spectralcitizen]

[@hendrikmoons8218]

I agree with most of what you said except Scholozar Basin. That zone is hands down the best leveling zone of the expantion. Also, many of my alts are either skinners or herbalists and back then, my druid healer/tank was my main with herbalism and alchemy. Needles to say that outside of raids an Wintergrasp, he lived in scholozar. The herb-density in that zone is well above any other zone fighting for second place AFTER scholazar B.

[@kyrriana1772]

Call me crazy, but what I loved about Scholazar basin was a music track playing in one of it´s specific parts. Path of the Lifewarden. It´s eerie and whimsical, and I love it.

Keep this Fun/Not Fun Series going I wanna see Zones from other Expansions,it's very interesting

[@erejnion]

Zul'drak's problem is that you practically spend most of your time in vehicle quests.

[@erejnion]

Vice versa, I think Storm Peaks would have been much better without any flying mounts. The peaks would be much more imposing if you're always looking at them from below.

[@BullmooseBeerTalks]

Wintergreen would constantly dismount and kill me whenever I would accidentally touch the zone flying from somewhere else.

[@bmack1708]

Howling Fjor is such a pain to quest throught, i still can't undestand how anyone can claim it's a better starting point then Borean Thundra. Dragonblight is also awesome; Wrathgate, Naxxramas, Arthas story, the dragon shrines, the scarlet crusade ... It's the real intro to Northrend. To this day i still don't get the gushing over Grizzly Hills, it's another forest with furbolgs and trolls. There's 2-3 funny quests in there and thats it. I've never leveled throught it and always keep it for when i have flying.

[@levv7258]

[@MrPerlew]

I loooove Sholazar Basin! I go there as soon as I hit level 76 every time. I know that I will hit level 77 and a half by doing the quests there and get some pretty decent blue items from the end of the longer quest lines there, perfectly setting me up to start in stormpeaks or Icecrown getting me lots of emblems of heroism for when I hit 80. Love it, quests are good and fun, gives a refreshing green tint to northrend instead of the duality of white and black backgrounds you grow used to in almost anywhere but Sholazar and Grizzly hills.

Yeah, a lot of zones were fun in Northrend for me. Dragonblight and Storm peaks especially. Dragonblight -specifically on the Alliance side- where we fight back against the scourge at Wintergarde Keep, discover that Muradin Bronzebeard is actually alive, put the ghosts of Arthas' expedition to rest by showing them the truth, fighting thel'zan the duskbringer -who is the reason Kel-Thuzad was able to return btw- and getting help from Bolvar Fordragon. Storm Peaks because of the titan keeper questline which was basically just an elaborate plot of keeper Loken to lure Keeper Thorim into a trap.

And I love all of Revendreth, so there's a comparison. Hmmm, I like Maldraxxus slightly better than Zul Drak, very similar vibe to me, but I don't feel like I'm constantly in mortal danger in Maldraxxus as I do in Zul Drak. Icecrown confused me back then. Maybe I should try it again since I've grown up a bit since I was last there.

Back in the original Wotlk days, Wintergrasp was the one zone I never set foot in, unless the guild was raiding Vault of Archavon that week. IF we were raiding it, because on our server, it was Horde controlled about 80-90% of the time. As such, it was an annoying raid to put on the schedule, because we would never know when the Alliance would hold it and if they did, if we would get enough people together in the short amount of time we had to take advantage of it, before the next battle began and we might lose it again. Unique concept for a raid, but I didn't get to see it all that much, due to being an Alliance player on a Horde dominated server

[@cecilialeitet2794]

Storm Peaks is one of my favorite zones of all time, certainly the best in Wrath. Second for me is the upper part of Zul'Drak and I wish that part was playable while skipping the scourge part. The story of the trolls sacrificing their gods in desperation always got to me.

I always level up in Borean Tundra, so this my favourite leveling zone at start of WOTLK (as Alliance ofc). The only part of quests that I didn't even try is the D.E.H.T.A quests. I know that you're hostile wit hthem for few minutes after killing an animal. Scholazar also is pretty nice zone just for diversity, also a good place for farming leather. Dragonblight overall is also is good zone, many different places you can visit, different quests, and yeah that's the Warcraft 3 zone. The bad thing of it maybe is because of the big road to Wyrmrest Temple (I prefer flying in Dragonblight). Icecrown for me is the quest chain with Argent Crusade and Quel'Delar quest chain, oh and Knights of the Ebond Blade quest chain also, nothing more, for me Icecrown is grey, boring place full with undead, zone where you just go to get to dungeons & raids. Storm Peaks well, good place for farming saronite/titan, also I know that in K3 you can buy things for your bike, didn't do much quests there xD Zul'Drak has dark atmosphere, but I like it, questing is enjoyable, Zul'Drak arena

[@comelegrand89]

If I had to choose between the Borean Tundra and the Howling Fjord ? I would choose the Borean Tundra without hesitation. The area is certainly a large expanse of plains with sometimes strange scenery for a tundra and the quests sometimes seem long but the music, the atmosphere, it is one of the best in WOTLK in my eyes. In fact, it's mostly a question of nostalgia: I set foot in this extension starting with the Borean Tundra and I only discovered the Howling Fjord much later, while flying (yeah, I didn't not even experienced the arrival at the Fjord by boat) so my memories are in the Tundra. In addition, I don't like the Fjord quests which are often badly indicated (remember the harpoon quest) and getting around in the area is quite complicated (crossing the main river without a flying mount is long). As for the music, I find it as boring as that of Grizzly Hills, I don't like the instruments used. Finally, if the Tundra is not particularly beautiful or original, the Nexus is frankly pleasant to discover (well "Corrata" or something like that).

[@kariolm2579]

Borean tundra is also better for powerleveling, since it has about similar quest density as HF does, but it's much easier to navigate, being mainly flat.

Howling Fjord - FUN Borean Tundra - FUN (disagree with the video, it is the most varied zone of all of them) Dragonblight - NOT FUN (but this is a very mild "NOT". The left and right part are fun, but the middle from top to bottom is boring). Grizzly Hills - FUN (sure, there is a lot of nostalgia speaking, but it is super iconic and the various quest lines are good lore-wise as well as gameplay-wise) Zul'Drak - FUN (good quest lines, maybe except Gymer. Nice separation into three areas: Drakuru / Argent Crusade / Gundrak) Sholazar Basin - FUN (really nice dense questing) Icecrown - NOT FUN (always chasing after the flying quest hub, long paths from and to quest areas, depressing scenery) Storm Peaks - FUN (although not an unanimous "FUN". Having to - by design - fly everywhere makes the zone a bit disjointed, and without a 300% mount takes a long time) and also: Fuck Wintergrasp

[@theoutlander1411]

Dragonblight by far is my favourite and encapsulates what my imagination of Northrend was like. The quests are interesting and there's a haunting atmosphere to the zone with a lot of strange sights. Ghosts, random Giants, Dragons, Nerubians, Scarlet Crusade, Scourge Attacks, The Forsaken setting up for the Wrathgate and all with a backdrop of snow and pine trees. On the flip side, I never found Grizzly Hills fun. Despite all its fanfare, I found it to be the least interesting of the ones I played. I think it was a little better as the Horde, but still I'd skip it if I levelled another character through Wrath

I more or less agree with everything except that I think Borean Tundra is a bit closer to fun when you play as Horde. Allianceside we always called it 'The Boring Tundra', mind you.

[@diegodevitti2105]

strong disagree on Dragonblight, that zone is a levelling diamond as Horde atleast. From one side you're a Horde hero saving and recruiting a whole tauren race, you found out what the blue dragons are doing and sabotage their efforts. On the other side, an amazing Forsaken questline, destroying a whole city of the scarlet crusade, kill and torture them. Being an assistant to a plague doctor and help him to create a new plague able to kill both living and undead. Then you get to the Wrathgate and not only the video but also like a huuuuge scenario of freeing Undercity where you fight alongisde Thrall (when he was still badass) and Sylvanas, that fucking wrecked chaos all battle long, your character was a fucking overpowered monster and after several enourmeous demon bosses, you get to fight Varimathras. AND even after all this, you still did quests and helped the Dragon Aspects finding out who they were and they were fucking dragons ( in all senses).

Borean Tundra MIGHT be the BEST zone the game has ever had. SO much variety in environments and stories, and tons of it extremely memorable!! Murloc suit, DEHTA, the cool quarry of nerubians around Warsong Hold, the Valiance Keep cult, farshire, the giant underwater monster to the south, omg Coldarra (!!!), the endless boats of vrykul at Kaskala (fun to grind), the scourge citadel stuff was epic, and the heartbreaking moment of marching east with the Taunka, to find their home destroyed! and there's other pretty good stuff too

[@sincodemayo]

But ya see, Dragonblight is great specifically because it's THE Northrend zone. Think about it. Borean Tundra has some nice set pieces, but overall the questing is boring. Howling Fjord is grandiose in scale because of the verticality, and the questing is amazing. Grizzly Hills is this cozy zone with a looming into-the-woods vibe. Zul'Drak is fun at times and outright monotonous otherwise, but the storylines are fun to follow. Sholazar Basin is definitely meant to break up the whole northern theme to bring you back to Kalimdor just a bit, and the final zones Icecrown and Storm Peaks are both astonishing finishers to the leveling continent each with their own significance. But this leaves Dragonblight, which essentially is the zone that has to fill in the pieces. And this zone has SO much going on, it's amazing. You've got that whole sequence with recruiting the Tanka, you have that questline with the scarlets where you have to kill the prisoners, you've got nerubians, you've got scourge in abundance, you've got a bunch of crazy Dragonblight shenanigans going on at arguably the most important set pieces in Northrend. This zone is the culmination of everything in Wrath coming together to form something timeless.

[@sincodemayo]

And I just realized I haven't even talked about the wrath gate, which I mean, need I say more?

[@manwe6829]

Wrong about Sholzar & Dragonblight. Sholzar is gorgeous from the landscape to the music. I love Hemit also. Is was also formed by Titans so it was cool! Dragonblight had the COOLEST quests and storyline. Other than those two zones being deemed unfun, I can agree with the rest.

For me, all zones were FUN mainly because of nostalgia. Except for the Storm Peaks, because I usually don't have fast flying when leveling and you need to go back and forth all the time, going around those giant mountains, and sometimes to the top and then the bottom of them, which makes it booooring. The quest stories might be fun, but you take longer to level. Crystal Song Forest isn't fun as it was neglected because of time constraints, and Wintergrasp might have no leveling experience but it's frigging gorgeous.

Just started playing wotlk classic, and ITS FUN, last time I played wow was BC when it was released, tried retail, but thats like a mobile game

[@IceTax69]

Grizzly hills might look good and have banging music but i absolutely hated questing there.

[@Z3ROR]

Icecrown Glacier is saved by the Argent Tournament and other later content if you ask me. It was a not fun zone for me.

[@guntman6084]

I had like 4-5 level 80s back in the day and i for some reason never leveled in howling fjord.

[@branman4959]

Wintergrasp was my favorite pvp and good place to farm herbs quick

[@theformuoli6397]

Most fun to least fun Borean tundra Sholozar basin Howling fjord Dragonblight Grizzly hills Storm peaks Icecrown Zuldrak Top 4 zones are the fastest, by far, making them the most fun. Bottom four are slower, by far, making them not fun

seaweed people 🤣🤣

[@TheNethertyp]

Zul'Drak was the most horrible leveling experience I ever had. The Drakkuru quests where you had to disguise as a ghoul was so awful. Sholazar Basin was my favorite zone frome Wrath. The zone is beautiful, the music and ambience is great, and there are no annoying vehicle quests. Icecrown is kinda meh. The atmosphere is great, but the quests are annoying and don't really convey the "desperate fight against the Lich King"-vibe. They're all variations of "haha, let's use this thing to blow up ghouls and see what happens."

I loved Wintergrasp. It ended up being where I spent the most time in WOTLK. I was hoping that in BFA the Warfronts were going to be better more refined versions of Wintergrasp. Alas they were not and I haven't played Wow since.

[@BeyondDaX]

If they had made Warfronts into PVP, it would have been as good as wintergrasp in a much less laggy manner. But I guess they didn't realize how vital the PVP scene is outside of Arena

[@user-yv4mm6bx3c]

@@BeyondDaX I agree. I've never cared for Arena that much. I always had more fun in PVP when there was an objective other than reducing another players hit points to zero.

[@jakubzamazal483]

Borean Tundra is Horde zone, Howling Fjord is Alliance zone. But trust me, most Horde players choose Borean Tundra ...

[@williamday9628]

Every single zone in WoTLK is fun an unique, I just wish Crystalsong had seen some more time.
