I've brought it up in a few threads, but I remember finding out about the Linkin legend of zelda reference quests in Un'Goro then excitedly jumping on to see if I could find them. You also got a cool boomerang!

I can't remember my favorite quest chain :cry: , but I'd like to give a shoutout to Maximillian of Northshire in Un'Goro crater (added in patch 4.0.3) Probably the most comedic questline and NPC in the game.

The Silithus gate-opening, all of it. Just amazing, love it.

I'm fascinated by the simplicity and the underlying tone of despair in the forsaken starter zone quests. So much so that those quests alone it inspired me to start my leveling blog.

  • The whole forsaken starter zone is "us vs. the world". They are unfortunate (ex-)humans who were turned, but got "lucky" and broke away the will of the Lich King.

  • They are trying to make sense of a world that just seems to hate them. The scourge sees them as "not really actually undead" and slaughter them. The living also hates them. The Scarlet Crusade actively hunts them.

  • The Agamand Family quest line really lays out the drama; many of the turned / lost during the agamand mills invasion is actually due to one guy (Devlin) who makes a secret agreement with the scourge lords and literally opens the gates for the scourge to slaughter everyone, betraying his entire family.

  • When learning the fate of her old lover (who also died during the agamand hills slaughter) Yvette Farthing recalls the "good old times" for a glimpse, but quickly accepts the fact that those days are never returning anymore.
  • You can say that the Forsaken have actually one of the most pragmagic worldviews of any race; get get dealt a shitty hand, and now they have to deal with it. They don't really have much emotion left anymore; they don't love or recall good memories, they don't even grief. They are just full of hatred and yearn for revenge.

    I played as a Hunter in Vanilla and will do it again.
    The quest chain to obtain Rhok’delar is just amazing and requires a ton of preparation. It’s also really hard to complete, especially when you will most likely not be that well geared.

    Man if I could only remember, there were many I enjoyed. Gonna love doing them over again fresh from the start so I can remember.

    I have always liked some of the quests in Duskwood, The legend of Stalvan, Morbent Fel and Mor'Ladin, i like the atmosphere and the spookyness of the area.

  • Everything this guy said and I mean all of it!
    But also the Tier 0.5 quest chain was really fun and long!

    Jail Break!
    If you want to do Onyxia you gotta do this chain quest.
    The escort itself is a pain the arse but the other parts of it are fun.

    Not really a single questline but the whole questing ensemble of Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest.
    On Alliance side the Duskwood quests are a close second.

    I really like questing in each starting zone. Not even any zone in particular, all of them. Music and ambience in these zones are really well done. When almost every NPC around same race as you it really feels like home. You doing simple tasks at first, like bringing water to the Tauren village or collecting apples, up to the harder ones, eventually saving your capital from potencial danger. That's so cool. I've done these 1-12 zones like a >30 times each by now and never get bored!
