The Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) Beta has been on going for a little while now, and Byron "Messiah" Mudry has been busy exploring the new continent of Northrend. While many of the larger topics that our beta testers run into are explored in guides and editorials, their personal beta journals cover all the smaller issues and details found in the game. In this first journal entry Byron discusses getting acquainted with the expansion through instances, quests and more.
After getting off the Coldarra and back to the starting city of Valiance Keep, I started making my way through quests. In WotLK it seems like there are very few quests at first, however as you complete the initial few that are available, more and more appear. It is almost unending. I have gotten close to level 72 and not left the first area and still have a lot to do. Many players have told me that with a few instance runs mixed in they have hit 74 in Borean Tundra alone! Hurray! This means many more options while leveling, since there are more quests than you really need.
