The WotLK Release is really different from the Burning Crusade release. There are so many “events” – starting at the creation of a Death Knight (Hero Class), and it continues through every zone in Northrend.
But, when I was sent to Icecrown – I really loved that. It started with the simple quest giver in Dalaran, who sent me to see another Commander at the Flight Master area (similar to how they send you to Sholazar Basin). But they put you on this rickety helicopter that then lands, on a flying ship.
THAT WAS COOL. I mean this ship has a full crew, and adjacent to it is another ship with – only full of Horde.
Spooncraft has the following post “As Promised; Spotlight on the Airships over Icecrown Glacier” – lots of pics and details on the Airships themselves.
The Black Gates of Icecrown Citadel remind me of Lord of the Rings and the Black Gate of Mordor

Blizzard did an excellent job of capturing a dark evil place, full of power and foreboding that makes the player feel like they are there. What is even better is that you don’t have to be part of an UBER (old EverQuest terminology) guild to go! You can solo quite a bit of it. This makes a big difference to me since I am the only lvl 79 in my guild of 5 LOL. But that is a story for another day!
I dinged level 79 so fast, I slowed down – because I don’t want to hit level 80 and the fun to be over. I mean, I recall what happened when I hit level 70 – I hate faction or reputation grinding, I like questing and leveling. But it must come to an end. The only thing I do now on my lvl 79 is the daily cooking quest and the daily Wyrmrest Dragon quest. I do want that Dragon Mount!!
Back to Icecrown. I am still exploring this area, I have only done maybe 20 quests here. Getting used to flying to a gunship took a bit of time. To my friends without a flying mount..you cannot go here unless you have it. I mean there are mobs on ledges you cannot reach without a mount, in fact the first quest is to disable the Lich King’s Ocular [Quest: It’s All Fun and Games] – which is mounted atop the Citadel. The use of the item [The Eyesore Blaster] states it can be used while mounted.
Icecrown has a lot. I have only begun to explore it, but I did come across this video for a Horde quest which might give a visual indication of what is in this zone.
Enjoy!!
The video is for the Horde quest The Battle for Undercity.
Asta La Vista!!!
