    Back in classic World of Warcraft, leveling typically involved one thing: slaughtering lots and lots of the current enemy du jour. Sure, there were quests and dungeons, but they were few and far between at the higher levels, so you were probably killing lots of something. Since then, the game developers have provided us with an embarassment of riches for gaining that lovely XP. Gathering, archaeology, the dungeon finder, PvP ... Almost anything in the game you do will grant you XP in some form or fashion. In fact, I actually leveled my main toon on Cataclysm's release from 82ish to 85 using nothing but archaeology. (Yes, that was over 200 dig sites, and yes, this was prior to the archaeology hotfixes that made it much easier to level. It suuucked -- but then I was able to get the gold from all the quests I skipped, and it wasn't so bad.) How are you planning to level your characters in Mists of Pandaria? Straight questing? Dungeon running? PvP? Or just a general mix? It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!
