Hello, I'm Widdlywah, from Korgath-US.

Zone Ratings

These are my biased, opinionated, and personal ratings of each zone. I consider such factors as quest creativity, lore integration, and overall enjoyment of the zone.

Eastern Kingdoms

Zone	Rating	Highlights & Notes
Dun Morogh	16
Loch Modan	16
Wetlands	16
Arathi Highlands	15
Hinterlands	14	Not an inspirational zone except for the presence of the Wildhammer Clan.
Western Plaguelands	18	[15-30] The Battle for Andorhal - the entire battle for Andorhal quest line between the Alliance and the Horde. The few quests at Chillwind Camp are neat. Training the the up and coming druid, Zen'Kiki, via  [15-30] A Different Approach,  [15-30] Zen'Kiki and the Cultists, and  [15-30] Zen'Kiki, the Druid. Scaring spiders at Northridge Lumber Mill during  [15-30] Learning the Ropes.
Eastern Plaguelands	20	Fiona's Caravan The Darrowshire questline with Chromie Scourge questlines Light's Hope Chapel Helping the Brotherhood of the Light at Tyr's Hand Simply an amazing zone with so much lore.
The Badlands	18	Rhea quest line with the egg  [15-30] The Swift, the Fierce, and the Stout - Using the three stooges to tank, dps, and heal  [15-30] Troggish Troubles - Trogg cannon fodder mini-game  [15-30] Ancient Protectors,  [15-30] The Sentinel's Pawn,  [15-30] The Warden's Pawn - Tomb watcher mini-puzzles  [15-30] It's Goat Time, Baby - Kicking Rams off a mountain  [15-30] The Day that Deathwing Came - Punching Deathwing in the face! For only ~40 zone quests, there is a lot of fun here. However, there should have been more goblin quests, especially in the coastal port of Fuselight-by-the-Sea. There are so many gadgets, bombs, and named NPCs that the goblin port feels unfinished. Lastly, where is the Uldaman love? Maybe I missed it.
Searing Gorge	17	Lunk and his antics.  [15-30] From Whence He Came and killing Archduke Calcinder  [15-30] Operation: Stir the Cauldron and bombing the Dark Iron Stealing pillows for  [15-30] Kill 'em With Sleep Deprivation I have an affinity for anything related to the Dark Iron, Blackrock Mountain, and Ragnaros which is probably inflating this rating. The zone is too grindy for my tastes, but is still enjoyable.
Burning Steppes	18	I like how the entire zone is one long story driven quest to take down the "big three" leaders ( Neeralak, Thorg'izog, Xi'lun ) of the Blackrock Clan in Burning Steppes.  [15-30] Assault on Dreadmaul Rock  [15-30] Glory Amidst Chaos Also, the usage of disguises in three parts of the zones is pretty neat.  [15-30] Abuse of Power  [15-30] I Am the Law and I Am the Lash  [15-30] Strategic Cuts Lastly, the free pet,  [Tiny Flamefly] from  [15-30] SEVEN! YUP!.
The Blasted Lands	17	The tragic story of the Rockpool Murlocs and the Bloodwash naga in The Red Reaches. The Kasim Sharim quest lines that lead up the final battle with Rakh'likh in You Are Rakh'likh, Demon (quest). That battle is a must! I also like the mini-questline at Surwich for the recovery of the the Tainted Forest by killing Marl Wormthorn. Blizzard did a wonderful job of making this zone fun. I think the interaction between the Horde and the Alliance is weak though.
Swamp of Sorrows	16	The cannon rides,  [15-30] Baba Bogbrew,  [15-30] In with a Bang The battle between Marshtide Watch and Stonard. There is some nice phasing and classic  [15-30] Orcs and Humans conflict. The Magtoor questline;  [15-30] Remember the Light. Helping the Green Dragonflight member Lord Itharius at Sunken Temple;  [15-30] Legends of the Sunken Temple. The zone isn't boring, but nothing inspirational.
