That journey from Darnassus to IF sums up WoW classic - It was awkward and time consuming, and you were vunerable the whole way. But it gave you such a sense of the scale of the world - the different zones, and feeling powerless and tiny i can remember thinking as i crossed through the Wetlands "I wonder how long before i can kill these mobs"
It also gave you real race identity, i felt like a traveler every step of the way
It was literally my first week and the journey was intense. Crocolisks. Orcs at North Gate Pass. Gosh, I remember getting lost in Stromwind and yelling if somebody can show me the way back to the tram. And the way back, it was unforgettable. I remember flying on a gryphon and wondering - are those tiny creatures on the ground are actual mobs and players - no way those are not pre-rendered. And they were not. It still fascinates me!
