yea, I thought the stuck in gloomingdeep was rough too lol... I dont know why I kept going but I'm glad I did.
Anyways, I think you can leave the zone at any time. But it wasnt clear to me until someone told me. You say something to a barbarian like "I am ready to leave"
they should really harp on this when you just joined for the first time.
But now I remember I was doing the quests and getting cool items, like a haste 10% range item. Nice stuff...
