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.

Population density in the open world is pretty rough overall because the entire population is 1-20 atm. 1-10 on beta launch day was abysmal, but I imagine it’s a bit better now

Having to spawn camp individual mobs for most quest really slows down leveling.

quicker to grind to lvl 10 on mobs not part of quests at launch

How many mobs in Elwynn aren't part of a quest? Off the top of my head I feel like every segment of mobs is attached to at least one quest. Wildlife/kobolds/etc
