Dont you just miss Old Thousand needles?

[Jestah]

Nope, you got it as a reward for doing some quest in Zul'Farrak dungeon.

Nope, you started the chain quest in 1k Needles Shimmering Flats, and it ended in Shimmering Flats. Thu-sly it was given in Shimming Flats.

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

The shimmering flats was cool, but the proper part of the zone was nothing special to me.
I don't fondly look back at zones that had nothing but leveling content in them though.

[Tziva]

The racetrack was cool but I hardly ever visited Thousand Needles, so I don't miss it specifically too much. There are definite aspects of the old world that I miss or that I feel bad that new players won't ever get to experience (Tirion's Plaguelands chain, or the end of the Onxyia attunement chain for Alliance, etc), but overall I'm glad they updated the world.

Being an old Lock/Druid from TBC, I certinally miss doing the leatherwork specialization part on the border to Feralas/Thousand Needles, memory fuzzy, the NPC (Caryssia Moonhunter (note; <-- this is the Alliance one)) resided in old Feralas, but it was literally a few meters (or yards) away from being in Thousand Needles.

Yes, feeling nostalgic, I certainly miss the old 1k Needles, but even I am not dumb enough to actually implant the old system, reverting the current quest line into some wombo-jumbo of a mess, at least for the Alliance in that zone.
Also, if my memory serves me well, that was also the place where we (Locks) "bound" our dearest Felhound in level 30.

Ah yes, Lady Katrana Prestor.

Nothing's like a good masquerade,

At the end of the day.
I still remember being there and was (obviously) surprised seeing a big black dragon in the middle of Stormwin, as a NElf Hunter in his (level) 20s, and getting killed by her/it. Ah, fun times, fun times.

I think that was Desolace but holy fuck that was a long time ago

[JustRob]

Desolace.

Fck. Vanilla. Desolace.

I fucking loved Desolace in vanilla. The whole different centaur clan thing made it feel like for the first time I had a choice.

Also it literally felt like the end of the world, it was great.

[Zoldor]

I liked the old one because it was one of the zones that really felt HUGE and made you feel tiny. One of my favorite places for sunsets as well. New one is probably my least fav of the cata revamps.

I do wish you could choose how to do 1-60. Or that your first time doing 1-60 was the old way. Increase replay maybe.

Tried to retrace the Felhunter quest, and it was indeed Thousand Needles.. For a page of the tome used to summon it. The 2008/oldest comment (although for some odd reason downvoted).

[Flurryfang]

While i do really enjoy the story-line of new TN, i would say, that the zone rework is a miss from blizzards side.

[Marrilaife]

Desolace.

Fck. Vanilla. Desolace.

Pretty much this... Hey guys, we have a quest for you! You only need to kill 300 centaurs before you even have the rep to start the questline... Gosh I regretted dabbling with it so much.

1000 needles I liked, because it was quiet, away from everyone else, especially as Alliance, even though then you had only Shimmering Flats, rest of the zone was Horde only quests. I hate underwater questing so obviously not a fan of the revamp. Especially you constantly have to dive - emerge to mount - dive again - rinse and repeat.

[Eliseus]

I use to go to TN with my bros and just screw around jumping all over.

[Marcelo225]

The Cataclysm improved some zones like Stonetalon, Badlands or Swamps of Sorrow which were truly lacking and dissapointing but it has also ruined many great zones like 1K Needles. I still miss it. It was a great and majestic zone. The quests were ok-ish but the prowlers and hyenas were so annoying.

[Tavin]

I miss the barrens and specially the barrens chat

[luccadeo]

I miss all of old Azeroth. Pretty cata was the best.

[Divinexve]

Not at all. It was bland as fuck, visually unappealing,boring quest lines and confusing as fuck pathing to get up to certain places in order to cap quests. WITH THE EXCEPTION of the Shimmering Flats due to its beautiful looks and epic feel (also the race track).

[Splenda]

No, I don't. I quested there a couple times and never liked it. Do I miss other original zones? Yes.

[Footpaws]

Loooots of zones and how they looked I miss, but mostly I miss particular quest chains; one of the areas being Silverpine Forest.

[Hellravager]

That tiger in the cage on the road "Oh fuck shit run!" back when it would automatically open after killing the mobs.

[Crillam]

I can't think of a single zone that improved with Cataclysm.

Blasted Lands? Yeah that is the only one I can think of.

[thewallofsleep]

I have a love/hate relationship with old Thousand Needles. When it comes to the new version, I don't even know how to get in there!
