Yay! I got Explore Kalimdor! Mulgore was actually super easy because you can "explore" Thunder Bluff by running underneath it. Org was slightly harder, but if you run over the bridge from the side to get your exploration, and you can jump in the river and swim away and the guard will de-aggro you by the time it gets anywhere near you.
Today I did Ghostlands and Eversong Woods, and Silvermoon City was slightly harder, since you have to actually go into the city to get the exploration, and there are elite guards that patrol near the main entrance. Thank goodness forcheating cowardly running away bubblehearth.
I'm kind of pissed I can't fully explore Eastern Kingdoms until level 65 because that's the earliest you can get to Isle of Quel'Danas, but I'll get the rest of it soon-ish.
I was also telling SC that I'm fairly sure the reason I feel that Horde players are more hostile to the Alliance than vice versa is that the Horde starting zones are full of Alliance-friendly groups being hostile and terrible people. The enemies in Alliance zones are mainly groups that are hostile to everybody (gnolls, troggs, Defias, satyrs, etc.) with, I assume, the exception of some of the belfs in the Draenei starting zone.
Anyway, tonight I also ran a gnome in SeeD's Running of the Gnomes. It was pretty fun.

I mean, myself, I always never took it all very seriously. For the Horde!, sure, but in the end oh hai iz a videogame and really it's hard to take seriously totally arbitrary sides. I never really got some of it until I started playing an Alliance toon and found out that uh... it really is easier. It's not like it's something you can cakewalk through? Except, if you've played Horde first, it kind of is a bit just because you're used to needing to pay hyper-attention to stuff and you don't as much have to in Alliance starting zones.
...Hilarious true story: I would love to be able to buff Alliance, I'd gladly give people who aren't, you know, being freaking dicks Arcane Intellect. Apparently I really don't do well at this whole constructed rivalry thing.
(Though I do still sometimes mock the Alliance for being ~pretty~. I think trolls and orcs look AMAZING, particularly their females, who are fierce and awesome and not necessarily pretty in their femaleness. I actually wish I could get more tuskier tusks on my troll mage, she'd be AMAZING. I went with the tuskiest tusks I could get as a female, and yeah. ...and okay, YES, I have a belf toon too, but she's my paladin I didn't have a choice! ANYWAY. :P)
