How do you know when to just move on?

Yeah, I got caught up in the various storylines myself. My raiding main (priest) is just going to move to the next zone as soon as she dings. I'll have time for the other toons (especially the ones with gathering professions) to fully explore zones.

So your theory or methodology is just 1 zone per level as I understand it. Correct?

Hey look. Big green words and number even and Army dude can understand!

It depends on whether you're racing to level, or if you're trying to enjoy the trip. If you're racing to level, you should head to the next zone as soon as you can do it reasonably comfortably. If you're trying to enjoy the trip, you should move to the next zone when you're not having fun / feeling adequately challenged (or you're done, of course).

My first character through zones will try and do all of the quests, until they're all done. That generally means I'll tend to read all of the storyline. Great stuff, really. Once I start leveling up alts, I will try and move to the next zone as soon as I'm able to accept the quests in that zone.

Where abouts is that map from Immer? because it doesn't have the same level zone boundries as the Blizzard in-game one.

(sorry, can't post a sceen of in-game one, am at work)

So I finished up yet ANOTHER Hemit Nesingwary quest hub....in the Valley of the Four Winds...those damned Sly Foxes don't respawn fast enough.

I decided it was time to move on since I dinged 88 shortly before completion of the quest. I found a long stair case in the NE border of Valley of the Four Winds. Started trekking up the stairs to find another couple quick quests and then a short boat ride into Kun'lai Summit.

Man, I'll tell you what. Kun'lai Summit is pretty fun. There are LOTS of concentrated quest hubs in this zone and they go by pretty quick. I was questing with a buddy from the guild at the time but still. Lots of instant spawns during the quests as well. Overall, I'm liking Kun'lai Summit. I'm about 45% into 88 now.

I stayed in Jade Forest until all of the quests were completed.

That. Took. Forever.

One thing I don't care for is how there are aspects of the storyline that I literally had to complete the ENTIRE continent of quests to discover.

So...if I would have moved to the next zone when I received the breadcrumb quest, I would have missed two cutscenes and a few area phases. They should at least have the quests labelled "main story" or something, ya know?

I couldn't agree more. Some sort of detail that stands out notifying the player of a key storyline quest would be nice.

This is one reason (of the many) I am so greatful for the new members. It frees me up to take my time leveling my alts... the only toon of mine that will be needed early on is my priest. (shhh... don't tell my druid that, though...)

When to move? Simple - when the quests turn green I'm gone.
