And here I was worried...

Not 10 hours after I wondered aloud how Northrend would come into play, and how Azeroth would come to send its heroes to meet the coming threat, we get this (I post this, taken from MMO-champion, and will gladly remove if deemed inappropriate without permission):

I was in Blackrock Depths pursuing some Dark Iron Ale for the Darkmoon Faire when this all started happening, so I hurriedly rushed my way up to the bar, tossed some coinage at Plugger Spazzring and hearthed out as quickly as I could.

Made it to Orgrimmar just in time to plink away uselessly at the soaring frostwyrms raining down ice, or sicc my pet on a few abominations. But I did get to see the final exchange between Thrall and Garrosh.

So cool.
