    Find a levelling guide for Horde (just google it there's tons of them--but preferably a newer one that takes into account the Dustwallow Marsh and group quest changes) and get the QuestHelper mod. Don't run back to turn in a quest as soon as you complete it, especially if you have other quests nearby (QuestHelper will help a lot with this). Don't be afraid to set your hearth to the nearest quest hub and actually use it. Don't be afraid to use whatever cooldowns you have to kill things faster. Also, certain classes will level up a lot faster than others. For example, warriors level pretty slowly (lots of downtime for healing up), but hunters (any spec), mages (probably frost/arcane for AoE grinding), and druids (especially feral up until level 60 or so, then either feral or balance after that) level quickly. The other classes are capable of leveling quickly but generally require better gear in order to do so.

    Another tip is if you're levelling a highly hit-rating dependant class, like rogue, warrior, or enhancement shaman, don't be afraid to grind out a level, but try to avoid grinding on mobs that are higher level than you. The amount of extra XP you will get for killing them won't be worth the extra time it takes to kill them and the extra downtime it takes to recover from a fight. Stick to mobs ideally 1-3 levels below you, you should be able to tear through them fast and easy with little downtime, and make more efficient XP gains. This also goes for AoE grinding. Really it goes for just about everything but hunters. If you're a hunter just kill anything yellow, even orange if you need it for a quest.

    Also, finding a questing buddy at or around your level can help, but only when you actually work in tandem (ie: mage AoEs fuckton of guys while priest keeps him alive, etc). Otherwise the XP split will hurt more than it helps. But this isn't really needed anymore, especially since there are very few, if any, group quests before level 60 anymore.

    But most of all, use a levelling guide and get questhelper, that alone will speed you up a ridiculous amount.

    Also if I'm on (Grundyman or Wolfenleid on Illidan) and you need a run-through a dungeon and I'm not in the middle of anything, I'll be happy to help.

    ok, so i added both to my friends list

    add me sometime

    Gaming is bigger than sports in Sweden

    Saying more people play games than sports doesn't mean anything... completely useless statistic. Far more people play video games in the U.S. than those who play football, but that doesn't mean that people in general here don't get more pumped up about the Super Bowl than, say, the latest Halo game. Not that many people play sports past high school, in ANY country, whereas video games are a leisure activity like reading books.

    i agree

    and how many of those people who play sports do you think play videogames anyways?

    Starting a new character, sure. But people like my brother who was already level 70 (three times over: paladin, priest, mage) hit level 80 in like 4 days. He spends most of his time now farming blacksmithing mats because there's not enough other level 80s to raid or PvP with.

    Anyways DK is 72 now. Once I hit 70 and went to Northrend, my leveling speed dropped significantly. It took me a full day of questing to go from 70 to 71. Quest itemization is serious crap, I'm still wearing the blue shit I started with and it's starting to show. I can't AoE tank 5-6 mobs at a time anymore. Hell, it takes 3 Unholy Blights and 2 Death and Decays and about 500 blood strikes to kill things now. Pretty frustrating.

    On the other hand, Northrend is pretty epic. They put so much more detail into it than Outland, it makes Outland look like a piece of crap. Warsong Hold and Vengeance Landing are both pretty sweet. And the crazy Vrykul villages built all along the inside of the canyons and shit... It's like they actually put effort into it! Plus some of the quests are actually fun. Like the one where you get the siege tank and go blow up 100 scourge and talk smack to Kel'Thuzad. Even the models are higher quality. The new worgs don't walk around like deformed wolves with metersticks permanently shoved up their asses. And the vrykul actually have like, faces! It's nice.

    Except for the Taunka. Taurens with busted faces? What's that all about? They use the exact same models and voices even. Lame. :(

    Do you have any tips for leveling up quicker

    I'm pretty excited to get the new expansion, but as of now, i have no job, so i have no way of getting it anytime soon

    Wiredzombie,

    We play horde on Illidan. The races you can choose from are Blood Elf, Orc, Troll, Undead and Tauren. Unfortunately we cannot group up with alliance humans :P because it is a PVP server, you cannot have characters of both factions on the same server, so you would likely have to delete your human and roll one of the above races to hang out with us.

    I understand if you want to play alliance though, but you were looking for people to play with and we play horde. :P

    I'd rather switch to horde than have nobody to play with

    I don't really see the point of levelling up so fast. You're going to have to wait for everyone else to catch up before you can really start doing instances or PvP anyways.

    I feel the need to level up faster

    After playing for Lethon for so long, and starting a new character...its a pain in the ass
