Fog of war

[Sword_of_Doom]

Since this is my first attempt at Wow ( was not in open or closed beta), i have spent a lot of time clearing "the Fog of War" as well. At times it can be very dangerous and i have died many times venturing into areas that i was not ready for. In answer to your question about quests leading you to explore every nook and cranny, "no", much of it you have to do yourself. This has led me to find quests i probably would never have discovered. My exploring life has changed dramatically upon reaching 40+ (mount is great explorer) and my general strategy now is i explore entire zone before doing the quests. This has led to much misadventure as today i was in Azshara (pardon the spelling) and i went to the edge of the fog of war which ended up being cliff dive to the ocean. I was literally stuck in the ocean but was fortunate to have a Warlock port me out.
