Hey.
Hinterlands was always the BIG 48-52 Zone for horde in 60 era, With tons of quests and all the elite quests with the troll encampment.
But when i got there on this alliance alt… like 4-5 quests in total 2 of which were from a draenei so i guess those were added in TBC.
I was SHOCKED i tell you.
I am really wonder now how this zone even was back in level 60 classic for alliance, Did people even go hinterlands at all?
As memory serves there’s at least 14 Alliance quests in the Hinterlands, though not all are picked up within the Hinterlands. There’s the long Saving Sharpbeak chain that will require a trip to Zul’Farak for it to be fully completed, others picked up from Dustwallow and Tanaris.
The Hinterlands forms a staple of my Alliance questing loop in the late L40s, running it in tandem with Tanaris.
There should be difference only in the troll quests and maybe that lunch quest, The rest should be on par. I ll try to get more info 
Edit : Yeah, there are a bit more horde quests ( 5-6 more ). Nevertheless it is a good location for alliance.
I love the Hinterlands and having played both factions since 2006, I have ventured to them as both Horde and Alliance.
Most of the late 40s, I used to do in Searing Gorge, though, as Alliance.
It is not a surprise that Blizzard started doing the Human land Orc ocations first, then made some Alliance quests up to lvl 35-sh, went making Horde locations and suddenly found the they are missing on deadlines so most effort went to lvl 40-60 locations and making them as neutral as possible.
Some zones like Thermore had literally unfinished quest chains. But when I finished Dustshallow March on Horde there was conplete story as most Kalimdor locations of the Horde.
Now I must admit that Tarren Mill has also some 30-35 gaps and you can’t quest there without grabbing several levels from SM, but it is not ever near the gap Alliance has in 30-40 range.
Hinterlands is one of the underwhelming zones for alliance. Hardly any Q there at all. Pretty much a original-Silithus situation alliance version only.
Well, At least now i know the purpose of the slimes that are around there.
Alliance had some quests fir those
I always liked Hinterlands as Alliance. It’s a haunting and “aggressive” zone, the enemies abound, and you draw a deep breath when reaching either Shindigger’s camp, Quel’danil Lodge, or the beach.
Yes, but several quests are chained from elsewhere.
For alliance it’s mostly a filler zone to adventure a bit, and fix the experience when lagging behind. I normally end up there around 50, gathering Puppelyverbos, moonkin down, and while at it, searching for the lost gryphon and hunting some trolls. I used to get the Mallet but it’s not necessary anymore.
Around its level range I’d likely be finishing STV, picking Feralas or Tanaris. The dark iron areas are there but I didn’t set foot there in 13 years. (Random itch to solo BRD.)
