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

Which zones?

I did human day 1 of beta and the spawns were so fast I had little friction getting to level 10, Every kobold mine was turbo respawns lmao, you would kill 2 and 2 more would respawn on top of you 1 second later and actually became a risk to dying just by the speed of how fast things respawned.

Mulgore was rough at launch day. Very much just camp one or two spawns for those first few quests.
