Favorite Zone: Bit of a toss-up here. Elywnn Forest is basically the perfect introduction into WoW, at least for the race it represents (and Teldrassil is definitely the worst, convoluted and purple). Duskwood is a winner for atmosphere, and except for being a little bit generic, I felt it should have had a stronger role. Westfall too; this trio is a fantastic set of zones, one right after another. A good hook for new players.

Of course, I was always fond of Eastern/Western Plaguelands; not only do they serve as a vivid reminder of why you're fighting the major villain in WoW, but they're kind of a marker that says "hey, you've reached the end game".

Coming from Alliance, Desolace was pretty amazing. The tower on the coast was a pretty awe-inspiring sight, even though it turned out to be window dressing that would be repeated about 10 times throughout the rest of the game.

Favorite Dungeon: Toss-up between L/UBRS and BRD. Open-ended zones with real variety to the architecture. The kind of thing you want to adventure through, as an intrepid explorer and slayer of foes! A depth that challenges the nothing that you're just murdering monsters for loot.

Favorite Raid: I don't know, I'm probably a bit biased here, since I haven't really been in guilds that were any good at raiding. For me it's always been a herding cats experience. Might as well not even comment.

Instance you would most like to see as a heroic: I can't deny that Deadmines has a structure that would lend itself to a challenge. I don't think that every zone needs a Heroic version; this is one of the areas that Blizzard probably went too far with.

Favorite Faction: Argent Dawn. Coolest lore imaginable, especially after the Scourge invasion.

Favorite Boss: I'm giving style points to Baron Rivendare. Strong lead-in, and then he rides around on a horse! The first time I encountered him was in one of those 10-man zergfests, and it was pretty memorable if not difficult.

Favorite Questline: Fordring is a shoe-in, but I'm also partial to the Battle of Darrowshire series. Bride of the Embalmer too. The series of elite quests in Stromgarde would have been pretty decent if not for the huge travel time involved between steps.

Favorite Zone: Winterspring, just for the atmosphere. Whole place is like a christmas card (a friend of mine actually calls it "Christmasland").

Favorite Dungeon: Old world? Maraudon. The place has some really spectacular sights, the story behind it is pretty neat too. Outland? Black Morass, hands down. A nice change of pace from offense to defense, very frantic and relentless. One of the coolest things Blizzard has done in a while.

Favorite Raid: Karazhan. I didn't see much of the old world raids, admittedly, but KZ is just amazing. The art, the atmosphere, the whole thing is just endlessly fun and very cool.

Favorite Faction: Argent Dawn. The story of where they came from, and their relationship to the Scarlets, really should have been more prominently featured.

Favorite Boss: Old World? Jin'do. I did mention I didn't get very far pre-TBC, and this fight was just crazy and fun, very different from the standard tank and spank or variations thereof. Ossirian was truly unique as well. Outland: Shade of Aran. Another really, really interesting boss that rewards execution and people being on their toes, and the first time he went down was really, really satisfying.

Favorite Questline: The Fordring chain was really well done. Darrowshire's finale is one of the most fun things I've ever done in WoW.
