Tonight in WoW I quickly finished off the couple of remaining quests in Howling Fjord, and then I decided to head off to Borean Tundra, since if I put it off too long it’ll be too low-level and pointless. Going back and forth between the entry zones made it clear just what a huge difference in loading time there is with my new system parts. Before, by the time I finished the loading screen, the zeppelin would already be parked at the destination, but now the loading screen ends much sooner and I see nearly the whole trip in.

I hit level 75 fairly quickly and went back to Org for training, and while I was there I finally picked up a bunch of frostweave bags and a bigger mining bag. It was expensive, costing around 350 gold total, but it was well worth it as I was extremely low on space. That knocks me back down to around 750 gold, but I’ve still got plenty of time until I’ll need the 1000 gold for cold weather flying.

I did some miscellaneous quests around Warsong Hold, which is an annoying place since it’s surrounded by insects that make it annoying to leave or enter. The quests are at least interesting, though; I finally got a couple that involved commandeering vehicles. Controlling vehicles is a bit annoying in that it’s hard to see where you’re going, though — the camera just doesn’t go back or up far enough.

And along the way I hit honored faction with the Horde Expedition and the walrus-guys. But it doesn’t let me buy anything interesting yet…
