They shattered Azeroth yesterday and all I can say is WOW!  The retooling of the graphics just had me gaping like a n00b rolling her first character in an MMO.    Everything old was new again!  Just rolling through Stormwind, I was stopping and staring every few seconds, from the amazing new water effects and the high res textures, to the cascading fountain in front of Stormwind Keep, to the newly grown-up Prince Anduin!  And the broken statute in the Valley of Heroes and the charred tower tops, not to mention the blackened crater where The Park used to be!

I was yelling to Mike every few seconds, “Come see this!  Come see this!”  Flying over Stranglethorn Vale from the Rebel Camp to Booty Bay, I was mesmerized by the new treetops.  I rode through Zul Gurub, no longer a raid instance.  I chortled to see the fresh logs where the ramps running up and down Booty Bay had been repaired, stared at the great singed goblin statue in the harbor, braced with ropes.  I giggled like a madwoman to see that Gadgetzan was NOW A COASTAL CITY!!!

Kudoes to Blizzard for making me feel like everything old was new again! Can't wait to get home and do more exploring!
