I’ll probably pretend I can’t sleep and level all night killing boars!

Just watch out for that shirtless guy; he summons scorpions!
If there’s a quest it needs to be done. Can’t have all those exclamation marks cluttering up my map.
Other than that, not really

i plan to spend the day with my husband enjoying the new content while useing every spare moment to farm as much gold as possible
Rotate between 25 characters and ensure the character I play is always rested with 200% XP bonus.
Cheers.
Not rushing to max level, just enjoying the game/story. Will get there eventually.
I just explore, do quests and enjoy the theater that unravels in my mind.
Because, although the quests are the same each character has a different approach.
Generic DH: “I have sacrificed everything. What have you given?”
Undead Char (looks down at himself, then up again): “Is that a trick question?”
My strategy is to level.
Take my sweet time questing, reading the quest logs and entries my first time around.
After that, DUGI QUESTING ESSENTIALS MODE ON!
Im going to quest, quest, and quest some more.
Doing all the quests is the best part of a new expansion.
Im not too fussed about when i hit level 80 as at 80 im still gonna be questing regardless.

No strategy. Just enjoying the ride.
You only get to experience an expansion’s content for the first time once. It’s a special thing.

Quest for story and enjoyment on my first char, then speed through the rest on alts.

Yes and no.
There’s none on retail as the mobs adjust levels to match you, and are generally weak. Meaning I feel no need to seek out a specific reward or anything to help me out, but as a rule of thumb, I like Duskwood for Alliance so I do go that way if I feel like it.
On the other hand, I’ve always liked to adhere to specific zones in Wrath, most notoriously if I leveled a blood elf (so like half the time at least…). Goes like this on my private server of choice:
- 1-14: Eversong Woods (finishing it)
- 15-24: Ghostlands (all the way)
- 25-30: Hillsbrad, 1k needles West, Southern Barrens (depending on xp gains, order of preference)
- 31-38: 1k Needles East, Ashenvale, North STV (ditto, my favorite quest is in Ashen, killing demons in the east canyons, only reason I go there)
- 38-42: Dustwallow Marsh. I love the swamp.
- 43-50: Tanaris, Hinterlands. A little Feralas as needed.
- 51-55: Un’Goro, Felwood → Winterspring (part of Timbermaw questline and a few easy quests)
- 56-58: Western Plaguelands. Cauldron qline is juicy, rest are fun too. Love the doom in this area, especially aoeing the undead.
- 58-68: Outland, HFP → Zangarmarsh → Blade’s Edge → Netherstorm. No deviations.
- 68-80: Borean → Dragonblight → Zuldrak → Icecrown. Ding-ding-ding, lvl 80.
Out of all this, I enjoy the 50-60 bracket the most, my chars feel kinda powerful vs the weak classic enemies.
For dungeons, I always do SFK, BFD, SM all 4 wings, and ZF, the loot from these is crazy good. Rest are too long, inconvenient to reach, don’t have loot I’m too interested in, or in case of Scholo, the loot will be replaced in Hellfire anyway.
TLDR: No strategy on retail. Detailed strategy for a wrath server I play on.
You get to max level before you have time to plan a strategy!

They still do that, still I guess that’s the only way to still make ground mounts relevant.
I probably won’t bother with the new content to start with, 30 people trying to do one quest at the same time get old fast.

I’m just gonna send it on the campaign quests. If I don’t hit max lvl by the time I’m done with them, I’ll just do some dungeons.
i’ve tried to play with strategies but honestly this way always feels like a pain in the place so i get tired from the game and stop playing at all in the most cases
so yeah i prefer slow and calm leveling
- Make a single step to the new area
- Select healer in RDF
- Spam dungeons to max level
- Make a second step in the new area
