The Queue: Homecoming

I like going back to Darnassus on my Nelf Warrior from time to time and imagining how completely boring she finds the place. Plus, it’s a brand new city by Night Elf standards. I mean, they just grew that giant tree after the Third War. It’s not like she (or any Nigh Elves, really) grew up there or anything, the buildings are either new construction or likely ruins that were off the coast of Kalimdor and raised by Nordrassil when it grew. Considering my Warrior is neither a Druid or a Priest, I get the feeling she views the city as a memorial to the Third War more than an actual home.

But it’s pretty and there are other Night Elves there, so heck, why not visit when she gets homesick?

I haven’t quite finished the Nightfallen quest chain, but I think I’m nearing its end — and I’m a little sad about that. Suramar is hands-down my favorite zone I’ve ever played through in this game. Just on the merits of that one zone alone, I think Legion is poised to nudge Mists of Pandaria out of the number one spot on my favorite expansions list. We’ve still got a lot of expansion left to play, but I can already tell I’m going to really, really miss this place when we’re gone.

I had a weird experience the other day. After zoning in to the Northrend location of Dalaran for some good old fashioned transmog farming, I discovered Tirion’s statue had gone missing. In its place was the original Dalaran fountain. Supposedly the fountain should have been replaced on the server first kill of the Lich King. But for some reason, this one stayed put — although it has the plaque to start the cinematic for the Lich King’s death. I’m not sure why there’s a discrepancy here, but it was pretty nice to see the old fountain back in action again.
