Rob Pardo's keynote speech from Sep 2006

[Mavfin]

Yeah, I haven't been a big fan of Pardo since the Awesome Changes™ to the Warrior class right before release.

Leveling a new character is generally a pain, but I've honestly had a lot of fun leveling my Paladin (so very sad to be leaving Ghostlands.) Eversong Woods and Ghostlands are an entirely different game; I hope Outland is the same, when I finally make it there.

Outland rocks, Artega. If you're a quest monkey, there's quests galore. There's PvP stuff in every zone, and of course, other than Shattrath, it's all contested, if you're on a PvP server:P There's stuff to grind, if that's your way, and there's 5-man instances out the wazoo. There's even convenient travel once you get to Shattrath.
