I made a new Draenei Paladin, and tooled around in the starting area for a little while. The starter quests - like most others as I recall - have a real charm to them, and so far I'm really happy with it. I've also inspected Outland a little bit. Hellfire Peninsula is kind of dull; I hope I can get somewhere else.

Footnote: the download ended up taking only 6 hours, rather than 10. I still think they need to work on their direct download reliability.
