3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and outdated, April 5, 2009

By	E. Reedy "Certified Geek" (Maryland, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: World Of Warcraft: Alliance Leveling Guide (Volume 1) (Paperback)

I am a long-time player of WoW (since May, 2005) and have 20 toons, both Horde and Alliance on two accounts. I am always looking for a good guide on the internet, whether it is for leveling, gold accumulation, or trading. So, when I saw this guide listed on Amazon, I jumped at the chance to check it out. Disappointing is the best way to sum up my impression of this guide. At least it's better in format than the comparable Horde leveling guide World of Warcraft Horde Leveling Guide.

By following this guide, an Alliance toon can be efficiently leveled from 12-60. It is assumed that your toon will be level 12 after completing the starting zone and the accompanying quests. This guide accomplishes its goal, and with dedication, a player can level to 60 within a short period of time. The format and layout of this guide is excellent. It is identical to that of the older version of the well-known downloadable internet guide by Jame ([...]). This link is for the newest version, and he is about halfway through the Northrend portion of his guide. I am not sure if the author of this guide is Jame. If it is Jame, I understand the delays in production and printing schedules, so that can explain the outdated nature of this guide. However, this guide would serve the needs of a player who doesn't want to print hundreds of pages on their printer at home. I have used Jame's guides to level my toons and I like them very much. I have not found any leveling guides for either Horde or Alliance that I like better.

Why am I so disappointed in this guide? It's outdated. At the time of this writing, version 3.0.9 of the game has been released, with two add-ons (Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King), yet this guide covers only the original game. Clearly, this guide was written prior to the release of the Burning Crusade and the game patch which lowered the XP leveling requirements for 1-60; it only covers the quests up to the Eastern Plaguelands. Quests that will take you into Outlands for levels 58-70 and Northrend for levels 68-80 are not addressed.

I hope you find this review helpful.
