What are (or were) you doing first in The War Within’s Undermined content update?

The long-awaited passage to Undermine is finally open, and the first major batch of post-launch The War Within content is live. Patch 11.1 brings us an entire Goblin capital city of things to do, and it might be difficult to know where to spend your first few hours in the new zone.
I usually try to pace myself and enjoy the story and the feel of a new area, so that’s likely what you’ll find me doing in the first few minutes that I get to play the new content. I have to remind myself to read the quest text and look around at the scenery sometimes, but it’s much more satisfying than having to play through the introduction quests a second time just to figure out why the heroes of Azeroth are questing in a particular location.
Many players are likely going to head straight to Nanny Tallulah in order to get started on acquiring their very own Goblin hot rod. The D.R.I.V.E system might only be usable in Undermine itself, but the fact that there’s so much more than just a ludicrously fast ground mount involved (meaningful customizations! Delivery quests!) means that I’m definitely going to be checking out the garage sooner rather than later.
You might be the kind of person who likes to immediately start gearing up, followed by jumping right into the latest group end-game content. There are many ways to start boosting your item level right off the bat, but you’ll need to wait until Season 2 launches on March 4 to face the challenges of the new raid, Liberation of Undermine.
Don’t forget the Kalimdor Cup! This two-week Skyriding extravaganza sees the return of sixteen races across some of the oldest zones in the game. You’ve got until March 10 to earn the Kalimdor Racer title and a transmog set that looks spot-on to wear while driving a ridiculous car around a tiny city, so don’t let it fall off of your radar in the excitement of the new content.
I’m personally most looking forward to the new Delve updates. These new mini-dungeons have been a great way for casual players to earn higher level gear than ever before, and it will be interesting to see two new Delves and a slew of other changes to how they work in general now that the dev team has seen them in action for several months.
So what was your first move when you logged on for the first time and got called to the Goblin trade center?
