If you are like me, you have noticed on those rare trips to Shattrath
City that it seems to have been abandoned! Well, ok, the NPCs are all
still there, the Naaru still protect the city, and Ezekiel still
patrols the Terrace of the Light in a never ending journey. The heroes
of the Alliance and Horde have abandoned the city to it's fate, though.
Well, ok, not all members of the Horde and Alliance are gone. Those of
the healing persuasions as well as these new death dealing plate
wearers that have recently rejoined their respective factions.
I was wondering if anyone has thought of the potential ramifications of this center of Outlands being virtually abandoned? At least old world content still has the class trainers and auction houses in their favor. Do you think Burning Crusade content has anything going for it? Do you think there will always be lowbies and hero classes coming through that content in order and keeping it relevant? Or will it be relegated to the mothballs like so many old world dungeons? How must it feel to work at Blizzard and know years of work might be virtually mothballed by the next expansion?

Shattrath has one thing going for me right now: Ammunition vendor. The vendors in Northrend don't sell high end reputation ammunition from Violet Eye or Scale of the Sands. These arrows/bullets still produce more DPS than the next level of standard ammunition in Northrend.
I finally got access to Wrath... It wasn't really 48 hours, because I have to work today, but...
I made my Death Knight and levelled her through the starting area... Wow! How cool is that place? Then I healed an Utgarde run. Much fun was had.
