I have levelled a priest and druid till 80, a shaman till 71, and a pallie till about 20 (though I have played Thror's pallie) and of the 4 healer classes priest is the only one that stays very difficult to level up. <br /><br />Until you get shadowform, wanding is the fastest way to level. This is not at all true for shaman (which I found the fastest character to level of the classes I levelled), not true for druids (cat form at 20), and even pallies can do decent damage now. Just priests that are lacking. <br /><br /><br />Recent blog:=- <a href="http://shyatwow.blogspot.com/2009/10/weekly-raid-quests.html" rel="nofollow"> Weekly Raid Quests</a>Shynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-15476608283847242172009-10-05T16:33:13.000+02:002009-10-05T16:33:13.000+02:00Bags: starting with four 4-slot bags would go a lo...Bags: starting with four 4-slot bags would go a long way in helping newcomers stay in the questing area instead of having to visist a NPC vendor every 20 kills.<br /><br />Money: Better use of tips? "Cloth, ore, herbs, and leather usually sell well in the auction house" to raise the player's curiosity about the auction house, and "Gathering professions such as mining, herbalism, and skinning provide extra opportunities to make gold while questing" to encourage new players to pick up a gathering profession. In my opinion,newcomers can make more than enough gold to support their first character as long as they pick up a gathering profession and sell their items in the Auction House.<br /><br />Drinks and food. I believe solving teh bag space and money issues would render this one obsolete.<br /><br />Spellpower. I believe ths system is fine. You want to impress the typical charcater roles onto newcomers as early as possible. Giving a potent spell to level 1 priest may, for example, create the impression priiests, regardless of specs, are viable damage dealers.Hugmenotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-82137456191430569322009-10-05T13:28:40.000+02:002009-10-05T13:28:40.000+02:00Thanks, I'm pretty chuffed with the new look t...Thanks, I'm pretty chuffed with the new look too. Though I was scared that with a new look I might lose interest in blogging (I've seen so many blogs update their look and then stop writing). <br /><br />And yes, when I levelled on EU without the support of my USA mains it hurt. Wow, it hurt, and I am someone who loves levelling even. <br /><br />Recent blog:=- <a href="http://shyatwow.blogspot.com/2009/10/weekly-raid-quests.html" rel="nofollow"> Weekly Raid Quests</a>Shynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-61863191807625810562009-10-05T10:57:59.000+02:002009-10-05T10:57:59.000+02:00Meant to say, love your new look.
Other than that...Meant to say, love your new look.<br /><br />Other than that, I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. Scratting around for bags, not being to afford either water or your first level of training until you've farmed for coppers by killing passing mobs - not a lot of fun. Also easing it up a bit would make people more inclined to try other servers - currently the idea of levelling again without the resources of my main makes me shudder.<br /><br /><br /><br />Recent blog:=- <a href="http://www.righteousorbs.com/?p=845" rel="nofollow"> sunday links</a>Tamarindnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-20087516623520385642009-10-05T00:14:15.000+02:002009-10-05T00:14:15.000+02:00Yup.
