[Messianic]

1) Don't leave. The best exp until 12 or so is gnoll teeth in blackburrow. By FAR. Hop the boat over to Qeynos if you haven't already and hammer some gnolls.
2) If you must leave, just get a port. Don't waste 2 hours of your life, even if you don't die , just to do it the classic way. There were 1500+ people murdering all the mobs or who could sow/invis you at every step along the way, too, so classic was different in that respect.
3) I can port you if I'm available. Most are willing to port newbs for free. Do /who all 29 49 druid and /who all 29 49 wizard and find one in east commons (they're less likely to actually be busy); they're often willing to bring you over for free.
