"This zone had snowy shorelines with huggable, walrusy Tuskar (Kaplan described them as little Wilford Brimleys, which was the right thing to do), flat frost-burned plains, pockets of evaporating water that looked like a sinister environmental reclamation project, volcanic terrain, an area that was covered with a magical "mist" that I mistook at first for the realm of the dead, a Gnome airfield, and a crashed Necropolis with tons of displaced Scourge milling about." Here's a quote taken from some other place from someone who's been to the Tundra:
And it's totally asking for every Hordie within the zone to come trash the place. Where else would you expect to get Borean Leather?īorean Tundra is a bit more what you'd expect that far north, lots of ice and random creatures and random bad guys (a few trolls and scourge and stuff), although it does border on a jungle that's basically Un'goro in the arctic circle: Sholazar Basin (which, apparently, is a really cool place place with Nessingwary and an anti-Nessingwary faction).Īnd did someone mention Gnomes? There's totally a Gnome airfield there, much easier to get to than the one in Dun Morogh. Tuskarr live here, and they breed penguins (I just hope they don't look as stupid as the ones you get from polymorph)! That's pretty much win right there.Īlso there's Rhinos for all the hunters out there who have an inferiority complex (I will get one for PvP at some point) and there's a lot more opportunity to farm leather for all the leatherworkers out there (leatherworking hunters win). Let's take a look at what Borean Tundra has: In fact there's a nice battle going on all the time, between Alliance, Horde, and the vrykul from Utgaarde Keep.īeta reports I've read suggest that scenery, music, and, for Alliance, the questlines are better than 'Boring' Tundra, but this is coming from the faction that takes Gnomes seriously, so I'm not sure how much I can trust Alliance opinion ).īut yes, Utgaarde Keep is the first instance in Northrend, so being near it is a nice plus point to this zone. And also a heavy Alliance presence in the form of a keep that Arthas' abandoned men built, and to a lesser extent, Forsaken waging their own war against the Scourge.Īnd a humongous keep, smack bang visible as soon as you get off the boat (and a bit of a walk away if you came by zeppelin). This place isn't exactly the icy wastes that spring to mind when we think of the frozen North. So, unlike the jam-packed entry to Outlands, we have two places to enter the Frozen Wastes of Northrend (in around 24 hours time unless the servers totally blow up): NB: If you came here looking for places to farm Borean Leather, go to this post.
