I recently started playing guild wars prophecies and I need some help. What's the best way to reach level 20: rush all the missions and do the quests later or do all the quests available on an area, before advancing? I'm playing with a R/E, currently level 12 on beacon's.
Another thing: what's the advantage of staying on pre-searing? A lot of people appear to be doing that...
Leveling Advice

People stay on in pre-searing because they like the look there. I advise you not to do that with your first character as there isn't really an advantage to it.
As for the best way to level up, it doesn't really matter. But since a lot of the quests in prophesies give skills as their rewards, I'd advise you to do all of them as you progress.
But don't get yourself ran anywhere on your first character, as that will cause you to miss a lot of the game.

The best thing to do is all quests in an area before advancing. If you advance to fast, you will be too low level and unprepared to take on the missions. Quests in Prophecies also give you free skills, saves a lot of money that way.

A lot of people hang out in pre-searing because they are going for the Legendary Defender of Ascalon title which can be obtained by reaching level 20 before leaving pre-searing. It is a long grind and you would be limiting your experience. Take a character through the game first, do all the quests and missions in order. Don't get run, or skip anything so you can maximize your free game skills and get a understanding of the story.
If you want to go for that LDOA title, it takes many months (depending on how you do it), and I would suggest not doing it until you start on a second or third charcter. Other reasons people hang out in pre is that they like it, are going for various titles such as Drunkard (doable by farming Hunters Ale) or Sweet Tooth (doable with some of the drops that have been showing up there with special events). They also obtain massive dye collections, or just like to stand on the steps in Old Ascalon and strut their stuff and talk trash.

And some players/guilds keep characters in pre to help new players, and hopefully recruit them to the guild.

Thanks for your help. I think I'll finish all the quests up until now before proceeding. The henchmen are starting to die a lot :P
