It was in the same little area of King Mrgl-Mrgl that I found perhaps the most dedicated role-player in my WoW career (which is from vanilla to present day on and off). I was engaged in some world pvp with a hordie and suddenly he gets dropped by a murloc. Then, I realize it's a human deathknight dressed as a murloc. He was just hanging out there, not moving at all, then attacked the horde guy. I asked him how long he had been there, and he said "I'm a murloc. I've been here all my life." I came back a few days later to check...and the guy was still just standing there pretending to be a murloc.

Fun fact: Arthas's men weren't eager to leave (since by that time Arthas was still super popular and a lot of men didn't actually take part in Stratholme, Arthas picked them up before the news of what happened reached them and cheesed to Northrend immediately) but didn't want to disobey direct order from the king. Arthas in return burned the ships in secret and betrayed and killed the mercenaries he hired to do so, which could be taken as his first truly evil act (since Stratholme could be taken as necessary at the time) P.S. And he actually didn't leave his men to die later on, he butchered them all personally, with Thassarian being the first to die (he actually tried to look for Arthas since the men were worried and sadly found him and was the first human victim of Frostmourne)

It makes sense they changed the location of Arthas' Landing, in Warcraft 3 these new areas weren't very well thought out yet. All of Outland was originally red like Hellfire Peninsula and all of Northrend was icy like Dragonblight. When it came time to actually explore these areas in World of Warcraft they needed to give them a little more variety to keep it interesting and BAM all these new biomes and different locations where added.

I don't know if you will make a video just about that, but for me the best part of Howling Fjord and Dragonblight is seeing the Forsaken plague being developed. You actually start to follow it since the Forsaken initial zones, doing one or another quest for the Royal Apothecary Society, but it really picks up steam on Northrend, culminating on the Wrathgate battle, which was the first time we got an ingame cinematic and it was really cool back then.
