It's been almost a year since the Burning Crusade expansion has been available and my wife and I finally walked through the Dark Portal to Outland together last night. It's been a long road leveling up for us but we're starting to have some real fun with this game again. The speedier leveling improvements Blizzard introduced in patch 2.3 helped out too. With only about a hour spent questing in Outland we already have upgraded a couple pieces of armor and a weapon each. Expect more World of Warcraft related blog entries to come.
