a good friend of mine and me are starting wow soon (me a fairly experienced player and him completely new) as a healer/tank duo, but we are both pretty stressed that we are going to get scared off due to the leveling scene apparently being dead before 60, is there any hope to find other people on the open world while leveling, and is it perhaps too late to start anyway? we were really excited about grouping with other people and doing some low level dungeons or something, is that going to be a possibility? also, if it turns out that leveling isnt completely dead, do any of you know of a good firemaw alliance leveling guild?

any advice is helpful, we just dont want to waste hours upon hours just for our attempt to catch up to be futile.
