Leveling Guides

One of my favorite things to do on in the World of Warcraft is play differenet classes. I have dozens of alts on all different servers. One of my problems with doing this is that it takes so long to level all the way up. I always end up back on my main character an Orc Hunter. One of the things that has really helped me out in this is using leveling guides. For the Horde the most famous guide is Joanas Horde Leveling Guide. Upon trying this guide out, I was pretty impressed, Joana makes leveling a Horde toon quick and easy. The problems that I have found with the guide is sometimes Joana will tell you to do a quest that is very hard to do solo and if you are following the guide exactly you'll be stuck on this quest. Also the guide doesn't have an in-game guide like some of the others, which makes it hard to quest unless you print out the guide; otherwise you are stuck trying to tab out of the screen to see what is next. I'd also like to add that Joana is working on an in-game guide. Joana's website has already released the 70-80 in-game guide, my wife says is a great guide and makes questing easy. I'm sure the 1-70 in-game guide will be just as great. Read a full review Here

The Brian Knopp Alliance guide has already released the in-game guide for his guide, I've tried this one too, its pretty much like the Joana guide. Makes questing really easy, I'm just not much of an Alliance player. But either guide is great. You can read the full review of Brians guide Here

Zygors guides.....egh I love Zygors in-game mod, but the guide kills me, everything is going smoothly and every so often you'll get a note telling you to grind to the next level, this makes doing the quests really easy, but I hate grinding so this guide isn't for me. If you don't mind grinding you should check this out.

Lastly, Joana, Brian, and Zygor are all great about updating their guides based on the patches released for the game.
