2.3 Patch Leveling Improvements

[bryant]

In the next WoW patch, the amount of experience required for each level will go down, and the amount of experience you'll get per quest will go up.

Whee!

Edit: between levels 20 and 60.

I've got about 10 alts in between 20 and 40. I love the first 20 levels, and Darkshore is fun now that I know what order to do the quests in so I only have to do 4 or 5 laps. But at that point, the only thing that keeps me going is the mount, and after that I generally lose interest entirely. I've always been baffled that at some point between 30 and 40 it switches from "if you do all the quests for your level on a continent, it will level you and then some" to "why don't you grind out a few levels in SM or something?"

I keep imagining that one of these days, I'll join a guild and get to see this "end game" all the kids are talking about. At least with the patch I stand some chance of seeing 60.

I totally understand. I have three - no, four - characters languishing in the late 30s because the idea of doing the 35-50 zones/levels is just abhorrent. Anything that's going to make that faster is going to thrill me.

Then again, I don't really have any goals in the game that I'm actively pursuing. I'm not earning enough gold for big mounts, I'm not consistent enough in schedule or interest to raid, and...yeah. My goal has basically been "have a bunch of 60s" and to see all the regular quests of the expansion. So there's still stuff to do. Whew.

I find 30-40 to be the worse level range. My belflock is stuck at 38 for ages. 40-50 is one of my favorites though - Tanaris, Feralas, and Hinterlands are all beautiful.

Plus, (on my main) that's when we started the Comparative Examination of Troll Archeology and Culture, an RP theme which lasted us well into level 60, which I guess left me fond memories of that range.

I wound up in Tanaris just the other day for the first time to get a flight path from Gadgetzan and almost died when I saw that they had not only a Thunderdome but also an NPC named "Christina Turner." DIED.

Tanaris is goofy-cool. :)

And I miss discovery, y'know? Perils of an ongoing game. It's just hard to sustain interest in stuff after doing it at least 10 times.

I think (beyond the obvious social impact of playing with some of my absolute favorite people) that's why I'm enjoying the Horde play with the new guild. Horde still has that new-game smell for me!
