Northrend Questing: Alliance VS Horde

So my wife and I made it into Northrend this weekend on our Alliance characters. We did Northrend first on our Prot warrior / Holy priest combo. Already sitting at level 80 on our Horde combo, we started in Borean Tundra and completely skipped over the Howling Fjord. It was really enjoyable due to the fact that it was our first Northrend experience and we had a lot of fun. However, little did we know that the Alliance has it WAY better.  Our combo this time is a Resto Shaman / Frost mage. We entered NR at level 68  and just finished a complete 130 quest run of Howling Fjord and are now plowing through the Borean Tundra. So far I have had a lot more fun questing as Alliance than I did when I was horde.  There are a few factors that may have impacted this:

1. The game didnt JUST come out. All the quest areas are not flooded with hundreds of people trying to quest
2. We now have a DPS class that can quickly AOE burn mobs.
3. We are more comfortable and familiar with Northrend zones.
4. The Alliance quest content is just more fun – plain and simple.

We have just finished the Coldarra chains and have readied our Nexus quests for tomorrow. We are hoping to be leve 80 next Friday. I’ll try to update everyone when we hit 80

The Gameplan:

• Howling Fjord (68-71)
• Borean Tundra (72-73)
• Dragonblight (74-75)
• Grizzly Hills (76)
• Sholazar (77)
• Storm Peaks (77-78.5)
• Icecrown (78.5-80)
