I've leveled two alliance characters through the starting zones in Northrend but am now leveling Horde for the first time. I've gotta say, Warsong Hold is an impressive structure, and the first dozen quests felt much more epic and immersive than the alliance quests in Borean Tundra.

Nerubians chasing you into your base? Check
Freeing soldiers who then assist you while questing? Check
Destroying Scourge with bombs and tank? Check
Hero of the Horde coming to your rescue? Check

The Horde starting just felt so much more epic than the Alliance starter areas.

Thanks Blizz!


Edit: I also found this area much more challenging than the Ally one. I felt like I was constantly being swarmed by bugs with barely a break before another spawn or pat got onto me again. It definitely felt like the base was under attack, much more so than for Alliance.
