Also, if you've never played WOW before, leveling is gonna be totally different than what your use to in EQ. Back when I played EQ, i remember sitting there as a mage and having the puller bring mobs to our party and just grinding xp for hours and hours. Now that might have changed as I havent played EQ in 4+ years (whats that about 12 expansions? ). basically in WoW, you level by questing. Each town you go to will have a bunch of quests you complete with your character and you gain xp from killing stuff for quests then you get more xp when you turn the quest in. There are also 5 man instances, where your group of 5 people are in your own little zone and theres mobs and bosses to kill (kinda like the EQ monster missions only you dont play as a monster).
