There’s so much to see in STV, stuff to make you what the story behind it is. I love the rope bridges too

Thanks!

A mount certainly makes questing in STV much easier! But I never really minded running up and down the vale all that much before I had my mount

I do think STV has fantastic atmosphere! And how can you go wrong in a place with trolls AND pirates?!?!

I have heard some of the horror stories that have come out of STV from PvP servers. I don’t think that I could level on a PvP server. I imagine that I’d find myself frustrated and just stop playing

Thank you!

I don’t mind the kill quests so much, but I can see how others might find them tedious!

I certainly do think of trolls when I enter STV! And the rain there is amazing, I’d agree!

I always look foreward to the next post in your Make a Memory series! Being on a PVE server I actually don’t mind STV at all. Maybe it’s ‘cos me main is a Troll, so I felt totally at home there

Probably also helped that I already had my mount when I went there so never had to run all over the zone like you described! Also, as Rholm pointed out, STV has incredible atmosphere, especially when it is raining! I remember travelling up from Booty Bay on my mount after I’d just arrived, it started raining giving it a real tropical feel, and the music and everything just hooked me right from the start – great stuff!

Troll zones are the best. STV is my favorite zone, the environment is so lush and there are a million quests to do.

However, if you had asked me what I thought about STV a number of years ago when I played on a PVP server, my answer would have been much different. I avoided STV like the plague out of fear of nasty rogues looking to stun-lock and toy with my poor little druid.

Now that I stick to PVE servers, I always enjoy going back to STV.

Lovely shots

I love the jungles of stv but not so much of a fan of questing there. I think it’s the grindy nature.. kill 10 of this, 20 of that.. I do enjoy visiting the pirates though >:)

For me, STV = Trolls.

The architecture is very present, as well as the lore and general setting. I love STV. On the other hand, quest-wise, you have so much travel to do, that’s just insane. If one wants, he can spend time there doing quests from level 28 to 40ish. That is a lot for a single zone! I still love it.

But what I do love the most about Stranglethorn is a rainy day. A heavy rain one. God that place is amazing with strong harsh weather going on.
