85-90 took an age, Infact I'm still lvl 87 and the xp bar never seems to move no matter how many things I do, Will the grind from 90-100 be the same or worse, Bring on the predictions
At the moment, who knows, depends how long they make the piece of string.
The only thing i hope for is that it is a worthwhile experience, as Pandaria was. Loads of storyline, little mini boss quests, lots of querky mechanics and ways of seeing the scenery as you go. If the experience is a worthwhile one, it really doesn't matter how long it takes.
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Seeing that there are like 'only' 8 zones for 10 levels I would think you level faster, unless they put in 10x more quests in each themepark zone then in the usual expansions.
That said: the usual betaplayer and no-lifer 'hey look at me I am already 100 and you aren't' will probably be 100 within a day after release, rest will soon follow within a week.

I actually didn't think the panda grind was that bad. But I'm looking forward to the instant 90 cause the grind from 1-90 would be painful . Now I can give my new toon some of this timeless gear that's filling my bank.
I really don't wanna sound like one of those "hardcore vs casual" activists but what i can see from blizzcon presentation is that WoW is going to be more "simplified" and 90-100 will be a breeze, gearing will be piece of cake and overall gameplay will be way too easy. i will not be surprised if someone hits 100 on the 1st day of release.

But i would guess that the power-level people (not the world first people... ) would have it cracked in about 3-4 days followed by the hardcore raid people at about a week.
I would guess about 1-2 months for the casual players

The draw and longevity of themeparks is their endgame, not their leveling process. This is precisely why pretty much every themepark not named wow has "failed", they shoehorn in a minimal amount of buggy/lack luster raids, dungeons and dailies at launch and call it a day. WoW has the most, and best, current endgame (im not referring to old raids...dont bring that up) of any themepark on the market. Blizz recognizes this, and many other companies don't, which is why WoW is still the big dog by far, where AoC, SWTOR, Rift, GW2 etc have failed to make a significant impact.
I did 85-90 in around a month of playing (a few hours an evening), but I was not rushing to max I spent most of my time following Cho and lili around in the valley of the four winds.

I think this is something that a lot of people racing to get capped miss out on as Blizzard put a lot of time and effort in to building the world that we play in and if you just put your head down and race through the quests without reading the text or taking time to look at what you are doing and where the experience is a lot poorer for it. When people talk of content, this is part and parcel of it and is there to be enjoyed.
Take a little time to check out the hill tops and waterfalls, seek out the little nooks and crannies, the guys with their sleds on snow covered mountains, the little sheep farms nestled on a hill, the poor explorers fighting off dragons, ghosts of people lost wandering aimlessly in ruins and so on, loads around if you just stop an look

People don't have time for that. They're too busy rushing to cap so they can whine about lack of content. /boggle

Nah, 110 at the very least, with epic gear. Those types need all of the advantage they can get, thats why they roam around in packs, while they gank lowbies... ^^
I've not been too impressed with what I've seen of WoD so far. It remains to be seen how it will play.
I imagine 90 to 100 will be a less painful grind because they said something on MMO Champion about increasing spell damage as we level or something along those lines...
Kind of pointless to ask this question, you know some people will be maxed in like 2 days.....others it will take much longer. Theres always someone that does a super grind and everything in between....it all depends on how much you play and what your intentions are....Explore and quest or rush to max level?

85-90 was pretty quick.... not sure what you are doing...
I'm pretty sure i went from 80-90 in about a week to catch up with some friends.
I expect it wont take more than a month for most players to hit cap. Probably closer to 2.5 weeks.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
it will take exactly as long as you want it to.

This have been a good conversation

"Leveling in WoD will be a fun and fast paced romp through the zones. The team is backing off the idea that leveling should be a long grind."

Pretty sad if you ask me.

LOL.
Just give GM's level 200 toons to sort those buggers out.

I even took lili on a tour.

Look ahead of me to all that awaited;
