World of Warcraft Beta Journal #2

MMORPGDot continues their beta journal for World of Warcraft, with the second installment discussing some of the higher level areas of the game. A snippet:

Besides being incredibly beautiful, the Night Elf lands feature a series of very tightly interwoven quests from the very first, moving you out of the newbie areas you inhabited and into ever greater dangers. In the shade of the new World Tree, the dangers at first seem more subdued. Some of the forest critters have been breeding overmuch, and it’s your task to thin them out. Once out into the larger areas of the forest, you discover that the overbreeding has at its source a definite problem. The furbolgs, a normally peaceful species, have turned feral. Just beyond the boundaries of the peaceful newbie area lies a village now over-run by mad furbolgs. Your elven nature demands you right the wrong of this situation, and yes, this requires a lot of furbolg booty-kicking.
