GW2 Levels and Leveling
Leveling Too Slow? - Enigmius Talks Guild Wars 2 (beta)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g36woC3LJ8Y
lists 10 ways to level and how to chain dynamic events
1)Dungeons (can do approx level 30)
2)Grinding (kill streaks increase exp gain)
3)Exploration (unlocking PoI & way points, jumping puzzles, skill point challenges)
4)Personal Story Events (can do every 3 or so levels)
5)Gathering (one node can equal 2-3 the exp of killing a mob)
6)Crafting* (you can level to 80 solely by crafting getting all 8 disciplines to 400)
7)WvW
8)Achievements (daily, weekly, monthly)
9)Renown Hearts (directs players to areas within a zone to level)
10)Dynamic Events

It was not our intention to imply that the early levels of the game require the exact same time investment as later levels, but to show that the curve plateaus.

A Guru’s community member carralpha made a handy Guild Wars 2 map with zone’s level range.
1-15: Zones adjacent to all major cities (there are 4 since Rata Sum and the Grove seem to share a zone for this)
15-25: Kessex Hills, west of Kessex Hills, west of Wayfarer Foothills and north of Plains of Ashford
25-35: Gendarran Fields
30-40: South of Blazeridge Steppes (this doesn’t seem right position-wise but that’s what I seem to see), Timberline Falls
35-45: Valley Headland
40-50: East of Timberline Falls, Blazeridge Steppes
50-60: NW of Blazeridge Steppes, south of Timberline Falls
55-65: Sparkfly Fen
60: Island SW of Lion’s Arch
60-70: The zone with the volcano SW of Ancient Dwarflands, Regrown Flame
70-75: NE Orr
70-80?: Northernmost Shiverpeaks zone (with the big lake)
