Can anyone who is a night elf tell me how difficult it was to get to Ironforge or Stormwind after they left Darnassus. I want to start a night elf, but if its going to be nearly impossible to get around, I may just go with a tauren as odd as that sounds, thanks.
It's not all that hard. From Darnassus, it's a couple of easy rides to Menethil Harbor, and the hardest part of the trip is running through Wetlands until you reach Loch Modan. If you just watch your surroundings, and don't mind dying and running to your corpse once or twice, it's really quite simple.
I always do the "Wetlands walk" with all my nelf characters because I don't like their starting areas. I usually die 4-5 times along the way. It's a minor inconvenience, not a huge hassle, and at least I get all the flight paths along the way. :) Go from Darnassus to Auberdine, take the boat to Menethil, then run to Ironforge from there (tram to Stormwind). An alternative is to get a mage to port you (offer a little money), or even if you can get a hunter with Aspect of the Pack and a pet on aggressive, it speeds up the journey.

I might be overly simplifying matters, but if possible see if you can just get a mage to port you. If you have any other characters with some money, 2 gold should more than cover it as long as the mage isnt a total self involved jerk. Also warlock summons could work too. Just a though.
My main is a mage, and as long as you are polite and offer to pay for at least the regeants, I really see no problem helping people get around. Hope this is at least slightly helpful.
Oh and yeah and on another note, ne starting area is not my favorite place either. Take a look at dranei though, its kinda fun.

If you're starting a druid (and I assume you are since you're posting here) the downside is you're gonna have to fly and boat it back to Darn to train every 2 lvls, or port to moonglade if your hearthstone is up. Not that TB is that much more conventiently located, though at least there isn't an extra boat ride....
The run sucks the first time if you don't know the route, because you're never sure if you're lost and how long it'll be and those ?? crocs are scary at lvl 8. But it's only a 10-minute timesink and you're home free.

what you dont like training in storm wind??
There's a druid trainer in SW?!
To be fair, my nelf druid is an 11 bank alt who hasnt made the run. I guess it would have been worthwhile.

Yes he's in "the park". Which funny enough, I also had no clue there was a druid trainer in stormwind untill about lvl 48 when I told my friend I had to run to Darn real quick to get my new spells, to which he replied "just go to sw". I was a sad panda that day :p
I found that out about.... oh, I'd say 6 months after hitting 70.
Not like it really matters anyway, I always trained and respecced in Moonglade ;)

I knew about the guy in SW's park soon enough...it's that sneaky trainer in Moonglade (yeah, the guy like 50 yards from where [Teleport:Moonglade] drops you) that I didn't find out about until 70. Ditto for the full service FP in moonglade too. With those two gaps in my knowledge I made a LOT of use of the free taxigryph from Moonglade to Rut'theran/Darn for training and getting elsewhere on Kalimdor. D'oh!
Not as bad as my wowbud who hit Outland before me. To keep easy access to Azeroth, he hearthed in SW and spent a lot of time running from SW to the portal, then flying where he wanted to go in Outland. I was like "man that sucks!" then I got to Shat myself and was like "Uh, dude, why don't you hearth to Shat and port yourself to the various cities?" I'm in Cali and he's east cost, but I swear I heard the forehead smack from across the country.
If you have BC installed, find a mage to port you to Shatt and set your hearth there. Then you have easy access to both continents while leveling.
