Greetings and where to level

[Phobius]

Hey all, after some great feedback on the other subforum, I decided to make a barb shaman, named Skotch. I just hit level 5 in everfrost peaks and was wondering where I should head next with a reasonable chance to get a group. Should I try to make the journey all the way to EC or are there other good locations for the next few levels? I feel like 20 years ago I would always do EC, WC, Oasis so I am completely down for something new, but I also realize that there are likely not going to be a lot of low level people running around. Thanks in advance and please feel free to reach out in game.
