This is most likely what I'll be rolling at launch. After levelling one on the beta, I have to say I really enjoyed it. The leveling process through the Zephras Isles sure was a bit more "retail" than say Nelfs starter experience, but I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. And as a retail player, and a long time Feral main, Skyborn Feral kind of appeals to me.

Zephras Isles definitely has it's moments with the new draw distances and lighting, I personally think Blizzard have nailed the art and world building here!

Leveling through Zephras Isles is super streamlined, and very quick. It was only about 8hrs of game time without rushing to hit level 14, and complete every quest before jumping on the boat to Mulgore.

Speaking of Mulgore, here's a screenshot from Mulgore looking at Thunder Bluff on the Flight Path from the Crossroads.

    Ah there was meant to be more to that body, but lost it flicking between apps on my phone.

    I was going to mention the racial ability difference between Horde and Alliance, where Horde gets a 10% movement speed increase, and Alliance gets increased mana regen.

    As a caster, Alliance Skyborn is kind of OP for early leveling, that extra mana regen is super nice. But at the same time, I didn't mind not having it on the Horde side, and found the movement speed increase super useful in the first 20 levels. Problem is once cat form is unlocked, that racial is kind of useless as it doesn't stack on cat form. I didn't hit 30, so not sure if it stacks with travel form or not though.
