First few weeks of TBC will be a madhouse. I wonder how many people will choose to do some heavy grinding in Azeroth high zones just to get past the hump so they can bypass Hellfire.

I don't know if grinding silithus/EPL/winterspring to get exp and bypass Hellfire makes that much of a difference. Aren't the TBC levelling zones fairly linear? Meaning that you go to each zone one after the other and there aren't many alternative zones to be in. Either way, I bet the play is to grind out exp in dungeons like we did on the way to 60. I basically lived in them from levels 15-60 on my main. Even with all of azeroth to spread out in, the dominant faction camped and murdered anybody who tried to quest.

From what I remember the content in the TBC levelling zones plus the dungeons was way more than you needed to hit 70. Like I think I was barely in Netherstorm with very few dungeons done by the time I hit 70. I cleared the hell out of Zangarmarsh because that zone is super comfy and fun. First thing I did when I got flying mount was zip around landing on the top of the mushrooms there.

If you can somehow get into ramparts, it won't be an issue with levelling in TBC, just do some good old dungeoncleave, you should be used to it by now :wink:
