Outlands zone levels
Zone	Level Range
Hellfire Peninsula	58 - 63
Zangarmarsh	60 - 64
Terokkar Forest	62 - 65
Nagrand	64 - 67
Blade's Edge Mountains	65 - 68
Netherstorm	67 - 70
Shadowmoon Valley	67 - 70

Unlike WoW Classic's zone levels, Burning Crusade Classic will be a fairly linear leveling experience. You'll start in Hellfire Peninsula, but if you're wanting to level quickly it will be advantageous to hop between zones to knock out quests that are at or below your level. Remember: Zones in WoW Classic won't have enough quests for you to level all the way to their upper level range. That means, for example, in Hellfire Peninsula, it's a good idea to get to around level 62 and then hop over to Zangarmarsh and quest there for a bit and maybe even jump into Terrokar Forest rather than grinding away in Hellfire until level 63.

Another thing worth noting is that all zones in Burning Crusade Classic are contested, which means that you can expect a lot of PVP combat on PVP servers. Every zone will have an Alliance and a Horde village to hang out in and receive quests from, however.
