Was very disappointed to find out this zone was only for the low-level stuff...
Really wanted to see more of Gilneas. Was hoping it would become a major city. Wanted to see more quests out there.
Instead, I did about 12 levels around Gilneas as a new worgen, and then I was shipped off to Teldrassil.
