Home Leveling route Forever reworks a lot of the old world, so we don't copy a Classic route here. Each band lists only the zones and dungeons Blizzard has put a level on. The quest hubs between them go in after we've played through them on live servers.
Unverified Zone order for each faction fills in during launch week. If you've leveled through a band already, tell us in the comments and we'll check it.
