I'll never forget the day I got an escort to Ironforge from Menethil Harbor. It was a walk that took close to an hour, as nobody had mounts then. I was a lowbie night elf from Darnassus, before it had an auction house (or flight paths, for that matter), and I needed to see it! But the areas we'd walk through were dangerous, so someone nice volunteered to escort me. I wish I could meet that person IRL and buy them a beer. ;) And then... finally walking up to and through those gigantic doors... it was pretty amazing. I still think IF is my favorite city in that game. Another time, someone showed me how to get to the top of Ironforge. That too was amazing. Sort of meta-gaming!
