So if not for faction, what's the replay value of Zul'Aman? This time they're going with a timed dungeon. The faster a group can kill each boss and rescue his hostages, the better the loot. Blizzard fully expects this to become a competitive sport.
In the Dragonhawk area, we got to see an example of Blizzard's reputation for quirky gameplay. As our demo hero rounded a corner, he came upon four Forest Trolls playing keep away with a disgruntled Dragonhawk's egg. It was an absurd sight. Then, when they noticed they had company, not only did the five of them attack, but the troll with the egg actually threw it at the player. Best yet, whomever it hits will find an egg in their backpack. It's little touches like this that give Blizzard its solid reputation. It would be easy to make them just stand there and drool menacingly, but that's just not their style.
