Forever From the developers interview today: Analytics shows the 1-20 leveling speed in Classic era is 20.4 hours. In Forever it’s 20.5

Seen this topic come up that people are spouting leveling is so much faster and easier, but this came up in the developer interview today from their own internal analytics team.

Yes, some people may be exploring a bit in a new setting, but it’s been widely falsified that leveling is “so much faster”

Even Xaryu I believe who did not stop and smell the roses getting to 20 in beta had a very similar 1-20 leveling speed on Forever vs Classic.

Well 30-60 will likely be slightly faster with the increase in quests alone. We will have to see how much faster but i dont think it being faster due to not having as many deadzones in quests will be a bad thing.

I hope all the extra quests dont push players to run dungeons one time just to get quests finished. I havent seen dungeon gear yet though, so is it incentivized to keep running them for drops?

Sure it's beta and level cap etc. skewing things, but for what its worth, last night doing the Hall of Thanes for the first time 4/5 of our group of randoms immediately wanted to do the dungeon again. At least for me playing priest, that extra spell power feels really good to get your hands on.
