It's gonna be a good one, I can tell...

You know how sometimes you see a very good movie trailer, you get all hyped up, get the tickets on the opening day, only to realize that the trailer actually has shown you all that was worth seeing in the movie and the rest is utter crap?

Then, sometimes, you just go see a film on an impulse, and right after the opening scene you say to yourself it's gonna be a good one, I can tell... ?

The Burning Crusade (fortunately) is the latter. It seems that Blizzard really focussed on creating an immersive experience and storytelling on the level yet unseen in World of Warcraft. Yesterday I played a bit with Quba in Outland and then created a Blood Elf character named Minimage and leveled him to lvl 7.

Since the duty calls (work, work...) I cannot post the full first-day (or rather first 3 hours) experience at the moment, but sometime later today I will give you my comments on:

• Storytelling
  
• Music
  
• First look at Outland
  
• Blood Elves newbie zone

...and yes, at that point the screenshots will start flowing.
