    One lake im surprised didn’t make the list is the one in redridge mountains. Takes up most of the zone with lakeshire being built on it and several quests to do different things in it. But I like all the choices picked too!

      He's mentioned that he mostly plays Horde, so he probably just doesn't have much emotional investment in Redridge.

    The Nagrand speech was such a vibe. Out in nature, therapeutic grinding. Tempted to re-sub this weekend to get a sense of that again 😙
    One of my favourite lakes is the one in Stonetalon Mountains by the cliff side. I started playing WoW in the WOTLK pre-patch and was levelling through Stonetalon Mountains (Tauren Feral Druid) back when I still didn’t really have a clue what I was doing. I remember my quest marker was positioned at the top of the cliff and back then I didn’t realise there would be a clear pathway up there, so I just fucked about in the lake for ages trying to figure out how to get to the quest marker at the top of the cliff. Got mauled by a black bear. 10/10 very nostalgic

    I think Darnassus as a whole is an underrated city, I've loved that design of its natural lake separating its districts, connected by bridges and small islands.
    Though while exploring Teldrassil on my Horde character recently, found another isolated lake right above Darnassus. On the map screen its right under the 'Darnassus' banner, up in the... 'cliffs' I guess. Big lake, single dock and boat, several trees edging it.
    Don't know what was planned for it, but I like it anyway.

    I have a few ideas for more "Pointless Top 10" videos. Feel free to use any of these suggestions.
    I noticed many animals use similar models.
    You could make a "Poibtless Top 10 Wolves" in classic World of Warcraft.
    You could also make a "Worg," "Tortoise," and "Plainstriders" video.
    You could also make a "Pointless Top 10 Kobolds," "Gnolls," or "Named Undead" video.
    If you're looking for something a little "out of the box" you could make a "Pointless Top 10 Windows" video.
    There are a lot of these kinds of mobs in the game.

    Nothing in the lore is more important than the Well of Eternity. I’m talking the original one.

The Nordrassil version is also great and lore important as well.
