In celebration of her 6 month blog-o-versary, the lovely Windsoar at Jaded Alt offered to give us a ‘muse’, similar however far better worded than Tam’s Pox Party some months ago 
.
I volunteered and she offered me this:

You’ve been covering the globe making an effort to catalogue all the nooks and crannies of Azeroth before the Cataclysm…but,
What area are you most looking forward to seeing transformed?
This is one to think about.
I think, as I’ve said before, I’m not a fan of lava. I don’t like lava. I don’t like mountains. I don’t like falling into lava, off mountains which I then can’t get back up. I’m looking at you, mountain in the middle of Un’Goro.
I’m looking at you, impassable sides of rock faces in Desolace.
And oh my GOD I’m looking at you AZSHARA! The other week, I got right to the end of my Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline. I flew to…that ridiculous flight point in Azshara, and then
I walked off the edge.
Into the water.
And then I had to swim alllllllll the way down until I could find some land near the Horde base in ASHENVALE to crawl back up on.
Now, in theory. Cataclysm will change a lot of this. We will be able to fly in the old world. And quite frankly, as I don’t ever plan on playing a goblin, I shouldn’t ever have to set foot in Azshara.
So, my biggest insurmountable objective will have been achieved. I no longer have to drop off the side of a mountain and be totally unable to get back.
I can’t think of any genuine reasons to destroy old Azeroth. I like it. I’m glad I became Elsen the Explorer. I’m glad I became Elsen the Seeker, and Loremaster Elsen.
Exploring Azeroth while questing and now while documenting the little places we forget about, I’m really becoming fond of the place.
But, I’m going to be brutal.
Destroy Desolace – it’s grey and miserable.
Wipe out the Badlands – the dirt and the sand gets right in an elf girls’ way.
And as for Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes – I HATE LAVA!!!
Sometimes I wonder at my own sanity.

Totally agree with Badlands, Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes. All three are hateful places but Desolace has hidden charms I think. First thing in the morning at the water’s edge when the skies are tinged with gold it can seem almost beautiful.
