Zeppelin servicing Org-TB in future patch!

For a higher level, getting to Orgrimmar or Thunderbluff is no sweat especially with the portals to both cities in Shattrath City and Dalaran. Even for a lower level character, it’s easy to travel between the two cities once you have the flight path that connects them. But I’m sure that you remember how much of a pain it was to get from one to the other on foot, which is what a lot of us had to do if we never got that mage portal or warlock summon.

First of all, there’s always that risk that you’ll get eaten alive by any of the baddies in the Barrens especially if you’re making the trip before level 10. Even if you don’t get bothered by anything during the trip, it’s still a freakin’ long walk. I actually had this impression that it took 30 minutes. Maybe it was boredom stretching the time but then it really could have been 30 minutes.

Fortunately, Blizzard has agreed to make this a lot easier for all of us. Blizzard poster Kisirani mentioned that there will be a Zeppelin that will be added in a future patch called The Zephyr that will ferry players between Orgrimmar and Thunderbluff. My guess is that they’ll use the zep tower outside Org that’s already being used by the zep that brings you to the Borean Tundra. They can just use another side much like how the other zep tower is used by the zeppelins that bring you to STV and Undercity. As for the one in Thunderbluff, I’m thinking you can already use that tower inside the city that houses the flight master rather than building a tower somewhere outside the city.

For the freshly created characters, this should be a god-send. For the higher level ones, I’m guessing that if you wanted to travel from org to TB or vice-versa, it will probably be a faster ride to take this zep than to fly there. So it’s a winning scenario for all Horde folk!
