Don't 100% swarm up the levels. Otherwise when you get to level 53 and go to get a group you will suck.

If you know how to bard, the above statement isn't really true... Just make sure all your instruments are maxed out. When you start grouping, you'll be fine with the instruments. It took me all of 2 hours to go from 50 1hs to 200 on a raid with my guild.
1. Do whatever makes you have fun, as long as you aren't having fun at the expense of others... unless you are on Red. Then only do the first part of that last sentence.
2. Figure out how to kite in small spaces early, so when you hit 50 you don't have to relearn in Burningwood.
3. Don't kite in Dreadlands. When you DC wipe or just plain wipe, it ruins the zone for all the people trying to level there. Do FV 30->50 and then move to BW.
4. Find a guild and get to know people early. As a bard, you will have to deal with a lot of irrational hate from people that can't stand how bards ruin zones like OT and DL. Find people that you can group with and show that you don't suck at everything except leveling.
5. DONT BUY LAMBENT ARMOR. The stats suck, and when people wear it they look like idiot twinks. Get instruments, HP/AC rings, and banded. If you get more money, get HP gear. The spider fur belt and shimmer terror cloak are pretty nice (0.0 weight, ac, 40 hp, dex, and str on both).
6. When you get high enough in level to power level people and earn money doing it, remember how much people hated you pulling in zones with them, and find times and places to power level that don't ruin the experience for 10-40 people in a zone. It's possible to power level without ruining everyone's day.
