Things started off a little rough. The plan was to level in Deathknell, the starting area for undead. This suited me as I have done the first two areas of UD territory twice and have an idea of where quests items are and such. Being a blood elf, my char started in a far off land, so someone /begged a lock to summon me to Undercity. I spent twenty minutes trying to find my way out of Undercity. I had never been there before, so cut me some slack. Once on the road (yes Max the road) I made my way to Deathknell for some zombie-skeleton-and-spider-killing-armband-and-box-collecting fun. We blew through Deathknell and moved on to Brill. Knocked out a couple of Brill quests and then the others logged. During our quests I had time to make a few observations about BElf, hunters and other miscelania including the following:
- BElf chicks are too skinny. NElf chicks look better. They have hips
- BElf chicks hold bows kinda cock-eyed and it looks pretty lame. No worries. Not like I'll be using ranged weapons much :(
- BElf racial abil seems pretty nice. It has three facets: deplete a mob's mana, stores the depleted mana for my use, area of effect silence
- I will miss Shadowmeld a bit but it will be less apparent as I used it more for PvP purposes
- Hunter-pet = Not as fun. I died 5 or 6 times trying to kill the human captain in the little castle area south of Org. A pet would have made it much easier. Only one and a half levels to go before pet quests so no biggie
- There is not a hunter trainer in the UD starting areas despite what Max told me
- Moving a Horde char from major city to major city is a synch with the zeppelins
- I miss my V-Bow but 8.1 DPS is funny as hell
Now all alone, I headed out of the UD area to go get trained in Org. I had done a few Horde chars in Durotar during 10 day trial periods so I headed to Razor Hill after getting Serpent Sting, Hunter's Mark and Arcane Shot to do a bit of questing. I logged off shortly after hitting level 8 and becoming the highest level char in the guild. I doubt I will still hold that title by the time I get home tonight. Meh.

Hullo and good luck on that Belf of yours.
Are you aware that there is a teleporter from the Bloodelf city to Undercity? Just in case you ever wanted to go back there.
I had completely forgotten until you said this. Thank you. Max had mentioned this to me but I soon forgot. I was getting a little worried because I'm unsure if all hunter trainers give the pet quests or if it's specific to race.
