When you hit 42-ish, go to Tanaris. That's the best place. Easy quests, easy xp. not to mention Zul'Farrak is the best friggin instance ever. You will not find a better instance for XP than ZF! Most parties takes lvl 44 minimum for that =O
w3rd, that's where i got a lot of my levels from :D

Hmm I was never a great fan of ZF, mostly because I ran it so many times and the fkn Witch Doctor's Vexing Cane never dropped for me. I did get to drop Godzilla (Ghaz'rilla) on my first run though, so I got my [Carrot on a Stick] at around level 42 (druids can run instances earlier than other classes).

Yesterday I parked my arse for 20 hours, killed Araj the Summoner twice, ran Dire Maul three times (each wing once) and even got Molten Core attuned. At the end of it all, after neglecting food, sleep and hygeine, I finally broke 60.

I sorta get a free port to whereever i want, as a lock ican pretty much ask any other lock for a port and him ask me, simply because at some stage the favour can be repaid.
Free mount means more money on items, leveling trade and hence even more items, epic mount costs about 200G and the quest is big, but if u have all the stuff doesnt take long.

Can port people, and SS meaning you are wanted in instances....and the added advantage of doing the same DPS and a mage[to be exact right now i can out damage any other class of the same level i have seen] Mages are water/food bots and locks are summon/stone bots with alot of crowd control and pets

basically a pretty fun class, ive tried a few others and i think i like locks the best[can solo excellently aswell]

iam 37 now in desolace, basically doing all the quests and powering on to 40

Sadly, Blizzard doesn't allow private servers for WoW >_< I remember reading it in one of the FAQs..

Every class has its weakness. As a druid, my very strength (diversity and adaptability) is my weakness, because specialising in one area will detriment me in another. For example, as a balance druid I have a lot of item bonuses invested in intellect and spirit - giving me a massive mana pool and very fast regen rate. However, this means my stamina, strength and agility are very low - not great for soloing or melée. This is made worse by the fact that I'm a PvP player, so power and survivability are essental.

Mages have the highest spellcasting damage in the game, regardless of your experience. Their spells by definition focus on raw power - but they're piss weak when you hit them with something. Warlocks focus more on DoTs - damage over time spells. Furthermore, warlocks are like hunters in their dependency upon a pet - you have less crowd control measures at your disposal, and can be virtually crippled if your pet is incapacitated (yes even with chain fears).

Private servers are definitely not worth playing an MMO type game on. The whole experience is based upon the concept of being surrounded by thousands of other player-characters at any given time, impossible on a private server. You will get very lonely, and very bored, very fast.

When I started my monster 60 run I was one rested bubble or less from 59. It honestly shouldn't have taken nearly that long, but in one of the DM runs I was helping a mage get her awesome [Conjured Crystal Water] (best mana restorative in the game) and, well, she was shit. Didn't know how to DPS, kept pulling aggro off the tank and getting us wiped. I really should have left but as the only healer available to them I felt much pity - especially since I myself depend on mages giving me their funky mana juice.

hahaha I know exactly what you mean about druids Lexi XD I'm lvling my 3rd character, a 52 druid that is 20/0/31(will be). Uber big mana pool and fast regen, but a few beatings and I'm gone. Sometimes can't even heal fast enough XD

well I've been 60 forever now... 60 druid

I thought about quitting back in January when I joined this guild that wasn't very nice.. I was desperate :p So I made a mage alt. She's lvl 45 now for memory.

My druid on the other hand... well I /gquit after that freaking guild made me so depressed. I applied for raid guild shortly thereafter.... I eventually got in after my trial. Now I'm addicted than ever! I get MC epics like candy and BWL epics are coming along nicely, if I have enough DKP :p Nef is nearly down.. got him to 20% before the zerg got us.... :)

To top it off... my freaking trial for the guild guess what? I apped in december and finally got the guild invite in Feburary. The FORMAL trial starts once you're tagged with the guild... I was finally made a full member mid-March. I mean fuck me... 4 months..............................

But yeah.. it was well worth it! I'm happy now.. very happy! :)

Wow Panda, that sound like some hardcore guild! XD

My old guild was a raiding guild (finished BWL), but I was levelling the druid (got invite cuz my sister was in it, and they invite family members unconditionally), and was basically the only one less than lvl 60. So I decided to leave to join a guild that would help me level more. I'll probably go back to the raiding guild once I hit 60.

private servers won't be fun as others have already pointed that... having said that, I can't really help you :p

@nickyroony: yeah it is... as well its also nice to me! :) It's australian based so raid times are great! I remember one time when our guild was beating the timer for ZG reset. We cleared from Jin'do ---> Spider boss in 2hours. Everything died very quickly, we had no wipes! I was like wtf?! :eek: But we didn't make it to Hakkar in time :( 7mins till reset made us cry :eek:

When the new expansion comes out, hopefully australia will get more servers[there has been talk of it happening] and if they are physically located in australia i will make a new char on it
