I'm really confused by your comments on FP and Qeynos. Why would a Dark Elf who is KOS to some people in FP come to FP to level in its newbie yard? A lot of them will be okay with the guards, but having to trek all the way down through the tunnels to get to vendors who will sell to you? Not being able to bank in North FP? It simply doesn't make sense for a Dark Elf to go to FP until they've accrued several levels and they're ready to start leveling in EC or N Ro. Not to mention that Nektulos is a phenomenal newbie zone with a great progression of content through the first several levels.

it's only a few minutes away from neriak. And you can kill mobs all the way.

Toxx has low levels spawns all the way to WC. It will be quite natural for people to spread out from neriak and eventually zone into WC if they can't find mobs in Toxx. On blue, people flock to WC to be near buffs / where they came to get their twink gear from their other char. So again kind of natural for people to gravitate towards DC. Not to mention the undead in befallen will be a popular spot once you get to level 4+

P.S there are quests that gets an agnostic DE to apprehensive with the merhcants in 20-30 minutes. Will also get you from level 1 to level 2.
