Spinksy, I think you’re absolutely right. MoP is exactly what the doctor ordered. It’s so perfect that it’s ridiculous.

This phase of game development is where Blizzard truly shines. I am extremely impressed with my story and play experience so far. It’s a beautiful world, with engaging npcs and interesting quest designs.

I would also offer that I was similarly pleased with Mount Hyjal at this stage. I didn’t feel the malaise set in until I’d played through all the story content.

This is what Blizzard does best. This is their golden moment. I’m really hopeful that the extended game play through the multiple factions will keep me interested for a long time, but I’m not embarrassed to be enjoying myself immensely right now.

I think this could well be Blizzard’s masterpiece. So blown away by what I have seen so far. There are slower parts (like wandering through Valley of the Four Winds) but the payoff, when it comes, is amazing.

I’m absolutely loving Pandaria. Where during the first hour of playing Cataclysm I’d already gotten the “meh”-feeling quite a few times, I’m now enjoying myself greatly in every aspect of the game.
The whole going back to the roots of Warcraft is exactly what the game needed in my eyes.

And the Hozen must be among the greatest npc’s ever. “Ookin wicket!”

Riko’s the man. “I’m on my way, Kiryn! And I don’t care about your weird, dead face!”
