Fog of war

[Jarulf]

You know, I've never been sent to the Searing Gorge either as Alliance or Horde.  This is despite the fact that it's in the heart of Alliance territory and the Horde town of Kargath is right near the pass into the Searing Gorge.  I finally went in there with my mid-50's undead priestess and found one quest series given by an obscure NPC along the northern edge of the Gorge.  It's strange to have such a big well thought-out area in terms of design and artwork and yet have so little to do there.

Back to Lochnar's question, though, no if one is an "Achiever" type, it's likely that there will be vast stretches of the map that will remain covered.  But like Bolty, I think this is a good thing.  There are parts of the game that are designed specifically for Achievers, Explorers, Social (pets, for example), and Player Killers.  If, like me, you're primarily an Explorer personality, then there are lots of stuff off the beaten paths to discover -- and some of them are pretty darned neat.

I guess I am an extreme explorer :) It would be boring if there is no place of the world were you aren't sent through quests and so on. There should be many off areas were you go on your own to explore. That is part of the fun, at least to me an others. I love travelling arround, even when I don't have the level for. I love going to remote areas, just to get the flight paths filled in, even if I have to die several times in the process to advance a bit on the map. I explore, get a feeling for and look through areas before starting on quests. That is perhaps why I find tew quest log limit so annoying, since I travell arround a lot, I get tons of quests to pick up.

I am the type of person who want to finnish every single quest with my character. That includes doing all newbie areas, even if the last one will be donw when I am level 25. I like to go everywere and so on. I would probably have two characters only, one of each faction to experience as much of the game as possible. With the current profession system I might have to make a few characters for specific tasks, item creation and such though. Oh well. Since I don't mind also playing solo, and thus like being self managing, that might be needed. Perhaps it is also why this type of game is perhaps not really for me, but then, there is so much in it I *do* like as well.

Two questions:

1. Were is Bolty's power level guide (one can always combine leveling with exploring :) ).

2. Did Bolty finally give in and buy the game allready?
