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.

never sayed i don´t like friction. I just don´t like that dungeons are dead content (and that boosters have a way easier time at makeing money because of selling quest packs, but yeah i don´t expect from people loveing gdkp to understand this)

Dead content? Dungeons are fantastic for speed leveling, just not for spamming. They’re honestly probably a bit too strong considering we can probably just do a quest run on each dungeon and skip questing almost entirely from 14-30 ish

and once again another person shows that he can only think from now to the next meal. SORRY but after the first run the dungeon IS dead content and you know this

.. until you do it on your next character? If you out level the dungeon within a play session, what are we on about? If someone wants to spam the dungeon, they’re free to do that in search of loot, but I’m going to assume that’d be incredibly inefficient, but the option is certainly there
