Blog Azeroth

A while ago Blizzard came out with the stat that 70% of its accounts don't ever make it past level 10. While I am sure that Blizzard can put in some great analysis of their game, I am also sure that they would love to hear more player feedback on the new level experience.

Now I realize that most of us are far from newbies and we won't be able to get into a newbies mind set perfectly (heck I am 10 years out of newbiehood for MMOs and 5 years out for WoW), but I think we can all add to the dialog about those first 10 levels, what works for you and what doesn't.

Obvious examples of "broken" 1-10 experiences are hunters--a petless pet class and paladins--who, if they are lucky, get to hit a second button in combat 1-10. I have a some what closer examination of the dwarf paladin experience on my blog, but it needs working and technical corrections at least. It would also be recast as a Blog Azeroth topic rather than a SAN project.

Mmm, I remember the disappointment I had with my first ever toon, a druid, and the feeling of awesome I had with my second ever toon, a warlock (which became "me"!). A topic of your favorite or least favorite class to level 1-10 or your intro to your class's 1-10, however boring or awesome it is...that would be cool to write on.

Wouldn't a big reason also be that we have Bank Alts?

I mean you can be L1 and have all bags.

I did a related post a while back that looked at druids 10 to 30. It's a little later than what you had here, but it's still really relevant to the early leveling experiences:

Here is my take on the situation:

I did a 1-11 guide for elemental shamans the other day, wrote about the way I went about it in a (hopefully) informative way. Not sure if it fits? But: http://www.lazy-sniper.com/?p=3414

I went with a very general post about the issues I have leveling a druid in the first place levels 1 - 10 and a little beyond, but it falls in well to this topic.
