When WoW: Classic players first begin their travels on the icy continent of Northrend, they’ll be posed with a choice between two starting zones: the Howling Fjord and the Borean Tundra. Unlike the launch of WoW: The Burning Crusade Classic, players won’t have to flood through a portal into one particular subregion of a zone. Instead, the starting experience for players of both factions will be far more spread out across the new continent.
The Howling Fjord and Borean Tundra are two very different zones thematically, but both will provide players with ample experience gains throughout the Wrath Classic leveling process. If you’re into exploring rolling hills with ample viking themes, the Howling Fjord should appeal to you, but if fighting off cryptic Scourge monsters in the icy snow interests you, the Borean Tundra will certainly be more your speed.
