Update 2: Naowh has traversed the loading screen test and is now in the Azure Span killing a whole log of gnolls!
Update: Greetings to Dorki and crew, who are “leveling” on the Dragonflight beta at the moment (as in just broadcasting old beta footage), and “are” level 65! You trolled me good!

It seems Echo’s Naowh was quite prescient, as his speed leveling strategy was literally sticking to the Shadowlands! With many players having launch woes ranging from infinite loading screens to world servers being down and boats not arriving, portals having instance not found errors, Naowh was just chilling in the Maw and mowing down mobs on his druid solo, and managed to already ding level 63, just around an hour after launch!

However, the server issues were also affecting the Maw, making it lag and not phase, which caused the mobs not to spawn, and the XP is getting worse and worse each level. So there are certainly players of higher level at this point, basically most player that can play the new expansion, but this was still a cool thing to check out.

It seems the World First 70 will be whoever can actually get to and play on the Dragon Isles!
