I think the two areas I would recommend leveling in would be any starting area around the EC starting area (Neriak, FP, RV) or Cabilis. Both of those areas are quite active with players and have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Cabilis:

pros - great XP leveling areas, plenty of players, curscale armor quest that provides great xp and some noobie armor for some classes, lots and lots of bone chips for pet or to sell.

cons - very far from everything else and a PITA to get back to at lower levels for training or whatever if you decide to venture to the old world, not as easy to buy/sell items being so far from EC. Iksar are hated everywhere so banking/selling/training in the old world is challenging to say the least


EC area:

pros - lots of leveling areas (XP not as good as FoB/Kurn's IMO), deathfist belt and derv ring turn ins for great XP and coin, EC tunnel is right there to buy and more importantly sell to build up plat (bone chips, silks, pelts), convenient to lots of different areas that branch off from EC including various boats, WC/EC is usually an easy place to find ports and buffs.

cons - camps can be crowded and not always easy to find a group, xp gain isn't as good as kurn's but belt/ring turn in can make up the difference if you focus on orcs/dervs.

I'm probably missing some pros and cons but you get the idea. Either of those areas should have enough activity to find groups in. If you are looking for a leveling guild or potential groups as you level feel free to contact me in game. We have 30+ people all below level 35.
