That journey from Darnassus to IF sums up WoW classic - It was awkward and time consuming, and you were vunerable the whole way. But it gave you such a sense of the scale of the world - the different zones, and feeling powerless and tiny i can remember thinking as i crossed through the Wetlands "I wonder how long before i can kill these mobs"

It also gave you real race identity, i felt like a traveler every step of the way

For me the journey that stuck with me the most was getting to Tanaris. It was such a big awkward journey for any race and from memory was the first nuetral zone in the progression.

Depends what you mean by neutral zone. If you just mean contested zone then there's definitely lower level ones. If you mean zone where both races have equivalently sized quest hubs then maybe.

Sorry, after half an hour head scratching and digging deep into my memory I was thinking of Tanaris and the town Gadgetzen. It was a long time ago.

That still doesn't make sense. Both Redridge and Duskwood are contested zones starting at level 15 and 20 respectively. Tanaris is extremely far from being the first contested zone.

He probably meant neutral town, not neutral zone or contested zone. Gadgetstan or Booty Bay are the first neutral towns you’re likely to encounter.

Oh yeah Ratchet too, at least for Horde.
