If there’s something I do, sir, is taking analogies too far.

It’s kinda like Baron Munchausen’s cabbage and Guybrush Threepwood’s rubber chicken, in a way. That kind of situation.

Actually a friend who quested in both Borean and HF said there were even more quests in Borean. However while I think you took the pasta analogy a tad too far ;p I have to agree I think HF is just better looking.
Eternally burning forests ftw! :)

[...] “Borean Tundra: Pasta. Howling Fjord: Pasta with a freshly made tomato, basil and mushroom soft sauce, topped with freshly-grated parmesan cheese. Served just at the right temperature, by a 10th generation family chef from Tuscany, who made the whole dish right before your eyes while you sipped the season’s red wine, in a delightful summer sunset, on the terrace at his private villa.” – Julian at KTR [...]

Regarding the actual number of quests in Borean Tundra, I didn’t find any lack of them Alliance-side. Had everything from Valiance Keep, the crazy tusk people, the Druids, the Gnome airstrip, the Dalaran mages, the Murlocs, then the ones on the east side regarding the citadel and the ziggurat and a few more I’m missing. You can -easily- gain a level and a half in there.

Plenty of quests. It’s just that the zone (in my opinion) doesn’t hold a candle to the visuals and flow of Howling Fjord.

Yes the Coldarra quests tell an awesome story. With one chain leading you to actually see Malygos and deals with the final boss in The Nexus.

Yes, Borean Tundra is pretty impressive for Horde players. Just over 150 quests there (with an achievement for doing 150 of them) and nearly all of them are quick, fun, and interesting. I started in Howling Fjord but then stuck to Borean Tundra after getting summoned over to run The Nexus. The quests there in Coldarra tell a great story and the D.H.E.T.A. quests provide a nice touch of humor.

I’ve heard from a number of people that Borean Tundra favors the Horde and the Howling Fjord favors the Alliance. Apparently the number of quests in each zone favor the factions as mentioned, as do the positioning of the quest hubs or towns. I wouldn’t know from personal experience, I’m still leveling my Death Knight :)

Could be! I haven’t gone to Northrend yet with my hordie. I wouldn’t be suprised if Borean Tundra flows better for Horde than Alliance.

Funnily enough, it seems like the complete opposite from the Horde perspective. The more I explore the Dragonblight, the more I think I should have started in the Borean Tundra, then done the Howling Fjord and then entered the Dragonblight.
