Update Got some bad news regarding Brian Kopp’s WOW Alliance Leveling Guide, according to his site Brain is no longer supporting this leveling guide!! This REALLy sucks as it’s a really good guide.
I recommend using the The Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide if you don’t have much money or Joanna WoW leveling guide 1-85 if you do :-)
I’ve changed all the links that went to the Brain Kopp’s leveling guide to the The Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide below.
Only good news about this is I play the Horde far more than I play the Alliance :)
Update November 13th 2008 The Wrath of the Lich King addon to the ever popular World of Warcraft MMO game is finally here. Time to level from 70 to 80 and maybe try out the new Death Knight class, new experience level a Death Knight!
Brian has released his Alliance Wrath of the Lich King leveling guide (1-80) and now includes an in game map mod just like the Team iDemise in game mod which swayed me towards recommending Team iDemise Alliance leveling guide over Brian’s Alliance leveling guide a few months back, but so far no sign of a level 80 update from the Team iDemise group.
Brian Kopp’s has released his full 1-80 WOTLK leveling guide BEFORE the official Wrath of the Lich King release, he’s been able to do this since he’s been in the beta release of the WOW update WOTLK for months! As Brian Kopp’s is the first to release a Wrath of the Lich King 1-80 leveling guide and now includes a ingame mod I have to go back to recommending Brian Kopp’s leveling guide.
For those looking for a Horde 1-85 Cataclysm and Wrath of the Lich King guide see Joana’s Horde 1-85 leveling guide this was released on the 12th of November as well, one day before the official release of WOTLK and also includes an ingame map mod.
Update June 2008: I wrote this review May 2007 and though I’m not a heavy user of Brian Kopp’s 1-70 Alliance Leveling guide (leveled two Alliance characters) since I prefer to play the Horde (leveled eight level 70s now) I think I have enough leveling experience to compare Brians guide with the new Team iDemise Alliance guide that’s taken the speed leveling world by storm.
I bought a copy of the new Team iDemise Alliance guide and have compared leveling speeds to Brian Kopp’s 1-70 Alliance Leveling guide and it’s faster. I wouldn’t say it’s a better laid out guide than Brian Kopp’s (they both have their benefits), but on speed alone it wins.
Therefore I have to recommend Team iDemise Leveling Guide with Brian Kopp’s Alliance guide a very close second.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Brian’s guide, but this one is faster.

Brian Kopp’s World of Warcraft Alliance leveling Guide Ebook review
This is my World of Warcraft Alliance leveling Guide Ebook review. To buy the Alliance 1-70 WOW leveling Ebook or to check out the affiliate program click the banner below.
After the success of my Joana’s 1-85 World of Warcraft Horde leveling Guide Review earlier this month (making me a fair amount of cash) I decided it would be a good idea to try out the Alliance leveling guide since there are more Alliance players than Horde!
Bought a copy of the Brian Kopp’s Alliance leveling guide, it’s similar in format to Joana’s Horde Leveling guide (my review) which I’ve been using to level my Horde Troll Priest quickly (level 85 was easy).
I’ve used the guide to level an Alliance character to level 25 so far (I don’t like playing Alliance, so this was just for the review and won’t level further) and I have to admit Brian has done a great job with the layout.
Little update: I eventually went back to finish leveling the Alliance character (I admit I’m a WOW addict) and got it to level 70 in 7 and a half days, not as fast as Brian, but still a very good time.
One of my complaints with Joana’s Horde leveling guide was it lacked a little more detail, basically I’m lazy and don’t want to keep referring to Thottbot etc… for quest details. The Alliance leveling guide is much easier/faster to use as the extra detail means less time checking Thottbot etc…
So it’s better than the Horde guide (and the Horde leveling guide is great). Unfortunately as a Horde player I HAVE TO (it’s the law) hate all the Alliance, so if you play the Alliance you suck and I’m going to own your ass at PVP, Battlegrounds etc… because everybody knows Alliance players are all newbies and never beat the Horde in a fair fight :-)
See all you Alliance newbies on the Hellfire Realm, look for Trelp Level 70 Horde Shadow Priest (currently raiding Kara) and I’ll take some honour from your rotting corpse :-)
A little moan about Brian Kopps website
When I first went to the site I found this information-
Now these secrets being revealed are so startling and shocking that it is in danger of being taken off the Internet as we speak so I am only offering 250 more downloads. The possibility that I will ever allow more is extremely slim. I want to help everyone but it would never be allowed.
I expect all 250 copies to be gone before midnight tonight, TODAYS DATE so if you don’t grab yours now then you may never get one.
Basically the date changes automatically making it look like you have hours to secure yourself a copy of the WOW ebook before it’s to late.
This is total bull shit marketing and I don’t understand why someone with a great World of Warcraft product would use it, it really lowers the credibility of the author and I’m sure will loose him orders. Like the Horde Guide (the author of the Horde guide also uses this sort of marketing, though not the time thing) had I not been sure of the quality of the Alliance guide prior to purchase I’d never order from a site like this.
I emailed Brian about it since I want to make money from this article and if the 250 copies left was real it would be pointless trying to sell his leveling ebook, so far no response which is disappointing.
Update: Good news, looks like Brian listens to his affiliates/customers. The text above about 250 copies left has been removed :-) I never did get an email though :-(

In response to the marketing ploy I saw it to and it is bullshit, was thinking of writting him a letter and letting him know he should take that off… but in any case I still purchased the e-book and it is a great product. Just wish he’d tone down the site to make it seem less like a late night infomercial.
Been using the Alliance guide for 2 weeks and it’s really sped my leveling speed. I’m no newbie to WOW, already had 3 level 70 toons, but with the Horde. Never played ally. The guide easily halved my /played time.
Pretty cool having my first level 70 ally toon.
I found the leveling guide very frustrating and incomplete at the beginning for any race other than night elf.
Ello every1¨¨!!!
This guide is the best guide i ever try…..
I’m fairly new but must admit I like being Horde better than Ally.
I think it’s a bit funny though that the Horde guys do “honorable” quests.
I agree with NightOak’s comments on his marketing strategy, I wasn’t a fan. He does however provide a good product. I personally use Melandri’s 1-70 Alliance Leveling Guide because it’s like 15 bucks cheaper minus the map mod and pics.

I have been thinking of buying this guide for 2 weeks and hesitate for one reason only. The marketing. If a product is worth the money, it will speak for itself. Just tell the facts ma’am. If someone wants to navigate away from a page, let them. Don’t keep hitting them with pop-ups. Otherwise, it’s a huge turn off. When will they ever learn?

I have read this guide and I agree with one of the comments above/below -- it is really vague on the starting characters roles apart from the Night Elf which as an unexperienced WoW player -- is really confusing.
Brilliant!
Are these things scams?
Brian Kopp is either a scamster or an idiot. Be sure to use a disposable email address with your order, because you’re in for a whirl wind of freaking spam.
When I signed up for Brian Kopps leveling guide I used a unique email address and filtered it to a specific email folder, I do this for everything I sign up for so if the website sells my email address I get the SPAM filtered to the same email folder as the emails I want.
This makes it really easy to spot those who sell your email address.
In the years I’ve been getting the updates to his guide I’ve not noticed any SPAM through the same email address I signed with. I can count the number of emails I’ve got from him on two hands, his emails are very infrequent.
