-Double xp longweekend is live on TLP (so blue kills are actually worthwhile at low levels... and yellow cons were giving me 4-5% instead of 2% at level 6).
-There's still a fair number of young Iksars (on Vulak at least) so your not alone in the zones.
-Field of Bone and Lake of Ill Omen have tons of mobs to kill, that respawn fast so you don't run into the nothing to kill issue that I saw in places like Nektulos when TLP first launched.
