Running through the quests non-stop with no rest, no guild will take around 20 hours. There is currently not enough experience to level 88-89 in Townlong Steps and 89-90 in Dread Wastes. The experience from dungeons will not be worth it unless you have a very tight knit group that will run them super fast.
Expect to spend ~20 hours getting to 90 if you do straight questing.

Brom I do in fact have the guild buffs
That only will provide a 10% buff so you are still looking more towards 18 hours in my opinion. Not to mention if you get caught up in any congestion. Just be aware how long it can take if you don't have a special way to do it. Just running through the quests as fast as possible will take longer than 15 hours.
When do most players end up reaching max lvl anyway? If I got to 90 by say thursday would I expect a bunch of other players to be there as well? 100s of 90s walking around in heroic armor? I kinda wanna at least get to 90 early.
I hope to get to 87 by the time I've played 15 hours. We alliance are a minority on my realm and tons of horde keep ganking us.... This mixed with the fact that it is a pvp server.... You should just imagine how it is when they raid SW.... Oh god, we can just watch while they kill everyone of us marked for pvp and slay the king just for the heck of it![]()
Will completely depend on your server. For me I know there are a lot of us in my guild who will be levelling straight to 90 on the first day so we can gear for the raid the following week.
As they have delayed the release of the first raid a week I think in general people will level slower. This is only my opinion and I honestly have no idea how it will turn out. I just didn't want you to put in a 15 hour straight period and be disappointed by not hitting 90.
This is just from my experience of levelling on the beta recently. I'm prepared for a 20 hour straight session. I'm hoping it will be quicker on release but you never know something is bound to go wrong!
As long as i don't see those hordes of lvl 90s by the following day it really doesn't matter. I wanna get there early but the raid won't open up for a while and most early raiders are elitist anyway.
