History

From Blizzard's Official World Dungeons site:

Ten thousand years ago - during the War of the Ancients, the mighty demigod, Agamaggan, came forth to battle the Burning Legion. Though the colossal boar fell in combat, his actions helped save Azeroth from ruin. Yet over time, in the areas where his blood fell, massive thorn-ridden vines sprouted from the earth. The quilboar - believed to be the mortal offspring of the mighty god, came to occupy these regions and hold them sacred. The heart of these thorn-colonies was known as the Razorfen. The great mass of Razorfen Kraul was conquered by the old crone, Charlga Razorflank. Under her rule, the shamanistic quilboar stage attacks on rival tribes as well as Horde villages. Some speculate that Charlga has even been negotiating with agents of the Scourge - aligning her unsuspecting tribe with the ranks of the Undead for some insidious purpose.

Pros and Cons of going there

The Kraul used to be a rather brutal run, considering the level range. However, this was changed with patch 2.3. In addition to the instance itself, the danger of interfaction combat on PvP servers in the area is high due to both factions visiting it, as well as it being near the entrance of Thousand Needles and being on the road to Gadgetzan. This in combination with the instance's level of relative difficulty and its remote location makes the region a somewhat tense and forbidding area. It used to be a long run back from the Camp Taurajo graveyard to resurrect, but this issue was fixed in patch 2.2. There were several graveyards added to the game and one was in the southern Barrens. Now, it's no longer much of a problem to run back to Razorfen Kraul/Downs from the graveyard. One of the biggest annoyances with this instance is the quest level requirements. Prior to Patch 2.4, Level 30 was required to obtain two of the quests, despite the fact that the final boss is only level 27. This resulted in forcing a player to choose between skipping these quests and their nice rewards or waiting until the player was almost too high to do the instance. However, in Patch 2.4, the quests' levels were changed, and can now be acquired at lvl 24, instead of lvl 30.
