Westfall, what is that, late-teens? Yea, ditch that action and head over to, err, Dun Murogh, Loch Modan or grab your local Mage to send you over to Darnassus so you can hit Auberdine>Astranaar.

Auberdine was my favorite place in the mid-teens. Just seemed the most content complete. Later on I thought Redridge Mountains was also good. Then, Duskwood. While I liked the stories there, the constant trans-zone runs between that haunted graveyard and Darkshire got to me just enough I vowed never to do it again.

They fixed it by adding an additional graveyard at the, er, graveyard. I leveled 1-60 recently and yeah, it's much better now.

As for westfall, skip it. Go to stormwind, and take the tram from the dwarven district to ironforge. Then go exploring. It's neat. If you want a feel for some later zones, get the flight point in ironforge and watch the trip stormwind<->ironforge. If you get bored or a zone sucks, well guess what there are generally 2 other zones of that exact same level quests that you can head to...

I went to the drawf area, and it's all very...empty of people to group up with it seemed, though it could be I was used to the wide open plains of Westfall. Redridge Mountains is nice though (for some reason I think its labeled at 20-30 on WoW's site, but 15-25 listing on the Wiki makes more sense).

I also did the intro to deadwood(?) mines with the escort misson, which was a nice change.

Best quest so far: Picking up the treasure map of a dead murlock in Westfall and just following the clues. Upon finding the treasure chest on the island, I had a big smile on my face.

There's a few quests like that, really well thought out (compared to the generic Kill/Collect type). My favorites were the Darkshire series, the one that leads up to Onyxia's Lair and, in the early days, the Auberdine buzzbox series. I'm not a story hound in a game about xp and loot, but it's nice to see the extra mile gone by writers and the like.

Nice. Finally. The other part was the constant run back for quest updates (particularly that one with like five or six marks, can't remember who with nor about), but with a gy right in the gy, that probably cuts 75% of the running done in the early days.

Maybe I head through their with my Draenei Priest someday then. Did like the stories. And while some hate Stranglehorn Vale, I liked it enough to do again.
