Imo, it only makes sense that they would do a complete gear reset. If they didn’t most raiders would skip right past the first tier of raiding and go straight to the second tier.

I did *very* little flying. Just a bit above SW and Elwynn, which looked… pretty normal. Someone tasked me with exploring Blackrock Mountain, so I’ll fly more and report back.

You mentioned doing some flying around. So tell me, how ‘full’ did they make the world?

Looking at maps and also my experiance with useing eagle eye and other remote viewing skills (targetting mountain tops) shows me that old world is VERY empty comparied to outlands and Northrend as soon as you take off. The mountain ranges and ‘dead’ areas between zones are quite large and empty. Did it feel like the did a good job of filling those in a bit?

It looks like the put whole zones in most of the world’s worst ‘dead’ zones. I am hoping they also scattered more interesting scenary and spawn areas up in various mountain ranges. I look forward to flying around and finding out fo the way interesting things. I always loved exploring.

I did the starter quests in Vashj’ir in the gear I copied my char over with (T10ish, but not BiS, probably half 264 and half 251) and they were very easy. I didn’t get to any quest with a green reward, so I can’t compare, but the weapon that dropped in Blackrock thingie was better than any in my bags (at least in terms of spellpower).

Of course that will make leveling interesting. Either the first wave of quest in Cata will be dirt easy or when levelers from from Wrath to Cata in a year they will hit a big wall until they swap most of their gear. Maybe there will be a series of fedex quests to get your first set of greens.

I know… I’m keeping Trauma and some of my trinkets as keepsakes but most of it will be gone….

The blue gear that drops from the new Blackrock dungeon are better (or similar to) T10. I’m going to cry when I change my epics
