For instance, the Guard books are pretty urban-fantasy but more mystery/politics than than straight fantasy, while the Witch books are all pretty standard fantasy tropes and literary jokes. Also if you tried to read the old books, especially Color of Magic or Light Fantastic... well let's just say they've not aged well. Might have been the Guard! one or w/e it was called. I got a pretty good idea of the style I think  | ||

The Black Company isn't that "dark", if by this you mean "end of the world/gloomy shit/etc.", it's got a very pragmatic feel to it tho. It's not really about hopeful people and heroes and ideals and stuff like this, people can be pretty cutthroat, etc. but it's more about several groups of disreputable people crashing into each other. | ||

I liked the way they streamlined talents and stuff in WoD, and it sounds like they just made it better Man, Wave already fell off one of his wagons, do you really wanna fall off one too?

Also played a druid and went balance at level 10 but that was even worse because it's based on "astral power" now which I never got to use because the mobs die too quickly. Just, wow. So, yadda yadda, I suppose you can boost a char to level 100 to play the expansion content that isn't broken, or you might be one of those people who hates quests and lore anyway, but to me that basically defeats the purpose of, well, playing at all, since I've never been one for doing dailies at max level or raiding in a guild. If I need an RPG fix I will finish Pillars of Eternity, or Dragon Age, or Breath of Fire 3. Maybe even Guild Wars 2. | ||

What race were you leveling? If it was Blood Elf that might explain it because those zones were some of the few not updated with the Cata leveling changes. | ||

Them not updating the BE starting areas is one of the reasons I don't play anymore. | ||

It used to be you had to actually be reasonably exhaustive in terms of questing to progress, but when I jumped in again, you could just do like 1/2 to 2/3 of the quests and then it'd be more efficient to quest somewhere else than to finish the other quests in the zone. That didn't really bother me. I did a lot of leveling in vanilla and BC. It was kinda nice not having to think about where to go and just kill stuff. I really enjoyed being able to basically just run dungeons to level up. | ||

Meh, I think Ghostlands works as it is, it's a cool storyline and the quests flow pretty naturally already, just that they didn't do any worrying about the new exp system. Other than that I still like the Draenei/BE zones. | ||

I feel like actually being forced to explore and engage with the world was the best part of the leveling experience. It is called World of Warcraft after all. Being able to just ignore the world until you get to endgame just seems like it takes the soul out of leveling. | ||

Well to be fair, I didn't quit League because I wanted to/it was becoming to addictive/it sucked/etc. I quit because I had a lot less opportunity to dedicate to ~45 minutes of uninterrupted gaming, which will reoccur at the beginning of next year once again. WoW I gave up voluntarily for the aforementioned reasons though and I will NOT be getting back on that wagon, as enticing as this new Xpac seems to be. I can say one thing I've regretted having to give up that now actually seems to have a date that I can return to it is Wavestream..... | ||
