In contrast, Revendreth was a whole heap of fun. At least I hit level 60 in the middle of this zone, so that’s one milestone completed. I think it’s because WoW has dipped into the well of “beautiful nature corrupted by local evil, please go exterminate it and bring our flowers back” far too many times to make this feel anything other than a retread. Lots of blues and purples and swirly trees and ain’t nature amazing?īut for me, it was too much, trying too hard while not really delivering that great of a narrative arc. Some of my guildies are absolutely gaga over Ardenweald, and it’s clearly a zone that’s designed to be visually impressive and attractive. It’s a little faster than I had anticipated, but still way, way slower than many others I’ve seen.
That’s how long it ended up taking me to get through the first four leveling zones of World of Warcraft’s Shadowlands.
