I'd have to agree that the Darrowshire quest line is the best quest line pre-BC wise if you're in a smaller guild, or have a static party.

The fallen hero "Razelikh the Defiler" questline in blasted lands
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=2801

which leads to the stones that bind us, and then then kirth, which eventually sends you to azshara to talk to a demon hunter

This questline leads to the formation of the felblade
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=3621

which allows you to fight Grol the Destroyer, Lady Sevine, and Archmage Allistarj

And finally Rakh'likh, Demon where you fight him in an epic battle atop the highest mountain in the Blasted Lands

For any alliance player, especially elves, the "moonkin" quets is a must do !!! From what I remember, it is not a difficult one, since i finished it when my hunter was lvl 57.

Being a horde player for more than a year and a half, my personal favourite (also accessible to allies, I think) would be the "fallen hero of the Horde" quest line near Stonard.

Interesting storyline + good money...

the fallen hero quest chain (it's available to the alliance as well; starts from an npc atop of the mage tower inside the keep in BL) was always a favorite of mine. you gotta travel all over for it, but it really has a solid 'epic quest' type feel to it. some nice rewards along the way and just a ton of xp (or gold) as well.

the moonkin lore escort quest is an all time fave of mine, but it really isn't much of a chain -- just a 'go find npc/escort npc/go to other npc for reward' type thing. still, one of the best lore quests in the game.

btw, geek that i am, i'm still weedling away at the scepter of the shifting sands' quest line. recently got my second shard done, too. in terms of breadth i don;t think blizz ever did anything more expansive than this one.

I've always thought the Onyxia key questline for alliance had a great story. Its kinda a pain due to all the steps in BRD but hey. Windsor is THE MAN.

Much as I dislike Westfall as a zone, the tangle of quests that leads into VC and beyond is the best I've yet seen in WoW. Not a single chain but a sustained story. Worth rolling Alliance at least once to do it.

Is there a Horde equivalent?

Linkens quest is my personal favorite. I liked how un'goro was a huge nintendo easter-egg.

"Grumble Grumble" ftw

my fave alliance chain quest is the one that starts with yekinya in tanaris. you go kill some screechers in feralas, then go to hinterlands and into zul furrak and finally, into sunken temple.

I was always a fan of the Trey Lightforge / Shadow Hold questline in Felwood. It was rather short, but I loved the development of the relationship between Trey and Jessir Moonbrow, the captured night elf whose rescue starts the chain. When you leave Shadow Hold and the ghost of Trey shows up it's classic.

Here's the quest that starts the chain for those interested : http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5203

I really liked the quest line on the horde side for Paladins to go defile Uthers tomb...
Linken's questline isn't very RP but I liked it as well.

What about the jadenar chain in felwood? Not that long, but I believe wonder woman is involved.

Horde has several equivalent zone-instance tie-ins.

The first is Durotar - Ragefire Chasm. The quest "chain" actually starts at the Valley of Trials, where you uncover evidence of the Burning Blade's activities. After disposing of other minions of the Burning Blade, Thrall sends you to acquire a Lieutenant's Insignia from Skull Rock to go undercover within the Burning Blade. Eventually you enter Ragefire Chasm to do the bidding of both Neeru Fireblade (the leader of the Burning Blade and member of the Shadow Council) _and_ Thrall to foil Neeru's plans.

The second zone-instance tie-in is Barrens - Wailing Caverns. The tauren druids at Crossroads are wondering why certain parts of the Barrens have extraordinarily fast-growing flora and fauna. After a joint Tauren-Forsaken investigation the evidence points to the Wailing Caverns, where you meet both Tauren and Night Elven druids worried about their crazed brethren and their leader, Naralex.

The third tie-in is Silverpine - Shadowfang Keep. The Royal Apothecary Society is interested in the emergence of Worgen in the area and starts to investigate them. In addition, several Forsaken Deathstalkers have gone missing. After decoding the spells used to bind the Worgen, Dalar Dawnweaver (founder of Dalaran?) recognizes the spells and sends you to slay Arugal. You end up finding the Deathstalkers, slaying Arugal and recovering important research data about the Worgen.

One could also say that the Scarlet Monastery "questline" starts all the way back at Deathknell.

Oh oh oh, the Scythe of Elune quest chain! It takes you all the way from Ashenvale to the Eastern Kingdoms, hunting a mythical scythe, uncovering the mystery of a great priestess' disappearance as you go. Great stuff, great stuff indeed.

I vote for the Linken quest chain in Un'Goro. I'm a sucker for nintendo references. :-)

The class specific quest chains are nice. Specifically all the druid quests(at least up to 20 so far), and the major quests for Paladins at 10, 20, and 60. Very embedded in lore, showing you what it means to be a druid/paladin.
