I just can't wait for The Barrens to get revamped. From what I understand, it will be two zones now!? It's about time. I don't think I could spend a half an hour crossing it ever again.
I can only hope that new Barrens will come with new Barrens chat. Maybe something a little classier. Sean Connery rather than Allakhazam, perhaps... Maybe even an end to "'offensive adjective' [action]" statements; you know what I mean. Well, that's probably wishful thinking, but fresh quests and smaller zones with a new look is enough to be excited about.
