Alt Leveling Project

Hi folks.  I just wanted to say that since my wow time has been quite limited lately, and will be so for the next five months, me and my gf have decided to level alts.  they will be nelf druids.  we'll be a druid duo running around doing quests.  what's mostly beneficial to this arrangement is that we can practically be the trinity of groupings with just two players.  I think i'll play feral tank and combat while she heals and moonfires things.  i think this will be a great way to pass the time when it's late at night and there's really nothing left to do besides level an alt or do a random dungeon.  and we've had quite a bit of random dungeons lately.

So, since i am out of room in Ravenholdt, we'll make the characters on Wyrmrest Accord.  Now the thing about WA is that it's a pacific time server, perfect for us, i guess.  and also, it is a "normal" server where world pvp is voluntary.  this will appease the gf a little.  however, i dont have any qualms about being ganked, or ganking others.  in any case, it will still be an RP server so there's plenty of dressing up, talking in a certain, more dignified language, and more slow walking to be had!  like we RP at all. but if the time comes where we can, we'll be able to!

Since we will be alliance, and questing is quite a "new" exprience for the both of us, it will seem like a totally brand new game. in order to keep this feeling as much as possible, there are some things i'd like to keep as a rule.

• We can only quest to level.  No grinding mobs for experience either.  we kill what we need to kill for the quest or to get to the quest objectives.  gathering professions are out of the question since we do gain experience from them.  we can always power level professions come 85 anyway. 
• No random dungeon finder thingey.  ever.  well we can use the finder to look for a specific dungeon group if the dungeon is appropriate for our level and also only if we have quests that requires us to enter these dungeons.  they've streamlined the dungeon quests for dungeons up to level 60, so you can get all the quests inside the dungeon.  we'll have to figure out the best way to deal with this when we get there. but i hope to only do the dungeons once ever and continue on with questing from then.
• No Heirlooms.  HAHAHA forgetaboutit!! really, none of that for-handicapped people stuffs allowed. we're leveling on greens and maybe blues.  no overpowered gear for the push-here-dummy crowd.  really though, i think the extra 30% (chest shoulder helm cape) is a bit too much.  that, and the gear is usually 2x better than whatever else we can get at our level, having heirlooms is just overkill for leveling.  we're experienced players anyway.
• No leveling guild.  Nope. We will not join any guild that has fasttrack.  actually, we'll probably just end up making our own guild there and calling it Brazen.  Or maybe call it Accordians, get it? *ahem*server name*  Doing this will ensure that we get almost zero bonus experience.  we might end up with the rested experience thing, but that's all we'll take. 

So with all those rules above, i think this will give us a good challenge for the road ahead.  even without heirlooms, instance leveling is so easy.  questing is super easy and even group quests no longer require groups to complete.  in all honesty, this project is something i'd like to do on my spare time when i just want to learn the rehashed stories.  we might even have to lock our experience so that we can go through all of the zones and do all of the little things we can do before we outlevel the zones.  i think is is quite impossible to do considering the starting zones are all far apart and the leveling goes by so fast.  it might be more feasible to go through all of the leveling zones when we're higher, say level 30 or so.  We'll see how it goes.  i'll have a chart with all the zones, dungeons and their levels just so we'll know where to go and what to do when we finally leave teldrasil.  and i am thinking darkshore will be an awesome new questing experience.  so if you like to join us, we'll be on alliance side on Wyrmrest Accord.  make some characters and chit chat with us!
