Maybe it's just the fact that besides drops that are required for a quest rarely anything else drops ( not even money) so I didnt farm the mobs as much as i would normally, but when leveling my undead I stayed almost strictly to the undead quests and areas.(I went to Redridge to pick up a black fox ;) )
Even with BoAs and that little side trip I was only level 22 by the time I got into HIllsbrad and ,following the streamlined questing, one of the first quest lines you get is the "Battle of Hillsbrad" from Darthalia at Southpoint Tower which eventually has you killing a level 30 (Magistrate Burnside). I managed to do this (and dinged 23 during the quest line) but only because I had BoAs, i think, and the level 30 is also a squishy mage that goes "I'm gonna blast you soon as I'm done casting!" If he was a warrior/other melee type even with BoAs I'd be dead.
If we are to be a higher level than 20(which I suspect most would be without BoAs) then maybe a boost in xp gained from some of the Silverpine quests? To make it along the line of the new linear questing, I recommend sending us on to Tauren Mill first and come back to this quest a little later when we're high enough level.
I know some people would ask: Why dont you just skip the quests and head on over to Tauren Mill anyway?
Because a lot of the quests have become streamlined. One leading to another and if you want to test that streamlining you need to do it step by step.

Also, Currently the other quest NPC Deathstalker Lesh, next to Darthalia, seems to be below or inside the tower nearby. So you cant get her stuff. I've been able to /target her and even keybound the "Interact with Target" option but still she is too far away.

As soon as I killed the level 30 Magistrate Burnside I accepted the next in the questline but havent continued. MoBs are too high a level in the mine even with BoAs. Wll start up again later.

Side note: I was not in a guild at any point I was leveling so I didnt get the 1st level guild xp boost perk. Just the BoAs.

All in all though I greatly enjoyed the new Silverpine questing and look forward to tryin it again ;)

Please refer to this thread when playing through zones:

Current zone status

Hillsbrad is unchanged in the current build and will not be ready for any testing for several weeks. Quest there at your own risk.

I know we're not "Gotta level in this place and this place only." This is what I'm refering too:
http://www.wow.com/2009/08/21/blizzcon-2009-world-of-warcraft-preview-panel-liveblog/

Scroll down or search for the words "Stranglethorn covers 10" and you'll see an image just above of what I'm talking about when I refer to the quest/level flow.

Lore wise it's always fun to go to another continent and check it out ;) but with the new streamlining it is less needed.

The intent isn't to lock you in to a single continent. On the contrary, you have more choices now than ever. You'll be able to level 1-60 on either continent. Mix and match as you please.
