It's about the same mentality in the comments as the WoW forums - trolls, butthurt pvpers, the "You sell your accounts, maaaaan" guys, and the usual idiocy and nonsense.
Most of them can't get over the cost - most of them probably spend more each month on beer and porn.
Whatever. I stopped listening to them ages ago. So many people have second accounts now, for RAF and boosting, you don't even get a blink if you run two, but five is "Insanity, maaaan!"
LOL. So it goes.
El Jeppy, just ignore the ones who scream "cheater!!" They tend the be the first ones to violate the ToS etc by having names like "Iwilrapeu", trading accounts with friends, rampantly abusing exploits, blah blah blah.
I'm in much the same situation as you, though not medically housebound. My husband works 3rd shift, so my daytime is long after other people have gone to bed. I am terrified of other people, I don't drive and I'm a housewife. Most weeks I only leave my house long enough to take out the trash and get the mail. This leaves me with a lot of time on my hands. I certainly wouldn't want to make a habit of watching infomercials every night 8|
While I don't see much point in that many toons, it's a goal and who here doens't create some sort of gaming goal to go after once the "oooh, pretty!" has worn off of a game?
LOL porn is free if you know where to look, beer though.. ahh if it was only free lol
Everybody eventually succumbs to level grinding. Hell, we succumb to WoW's end game content, let alone level grinding, but maybe this guy likes leveling up characters. So be it. If I were him, I would need a few things that would make this bearable:
A TV in my office (which I don't currently allow)
Music player (which I already use)
A vent server (for conversation)
Hell, I'll let the dude borrow my vent server. It's just sitting there doing nothing without anybody using it. Heck, I'll even create a couple of groups to run with him. I don't think he can do the grind but I'll help him in anyway that I can for as long as I can. I'm going to try to contact him.
Gl to you m8 my project is to level alot of toons as well,the sense of satisfaction I get from doing it really pleases me.
So don't let things like this article get in the way of your levelling.
Can't wait to see screenies.
GL m8 :)
Good luck Jeppy! :thumbsup:
I was bedridden for a considerably shorter period of time (about 2 weeks) due to an injury, and consoled by the fact that I would have a tremendous amount of time to play WoW. Even in that short a period of time, it was too easy to overdo it. After the first week of marathon sessions I was extremely burnt out. Only you know what your limits are, just remember not to neglect real life on your project.
Yeah, good luck. I've leveled up 50 level 60's, and just 5 to 80 so far, and I am absolutely dreading my second team to 80.
I can't imagine 62.
But goals are good to have, whether it be in WoW or whatever else. Makes you follow through. Never a bad quality in a person.
Sheesh.
I have 7 x 80 now: Paladin, Mage, Priest, Shaman, Warlock, Druid, Rogue. I just bought the hierloom shoulders for the Warrior (60), Hunter (60), and DK (58 ) in preparation that I'll eventually level them up together to 80 as well. The reason I want to is mostly because I'd like to be able to mix my teams up (hunter/shaman on same account, war/pal/dk tanks on same account, etc, like a chinese menu), or just play any class solo at a whim.
I'm not sure Jeppy has any purpose besides just saying he did it. I can't believe he'd sit there afterwards trying to gear them all up and trying to get into raiding/heroics with all of them. But that's just my mentality, I don't do a lot of stuff because there's little gain in it for me (like achievements, collecting mounts, etc). Took me forever to even try Oculus, and mostly did so because I wanted to get the dragon staff for my priest, which I got on the first try, but mostly because I was starting to get low on upgrades without raiding. HoS [luckily] also has nothing I want, except the JC pattern on the last boss, so I'll suck it up to beat just once on heroic eventually (beat it once on regular and never been back).
Many thanks for the comments good and bad.

Special thanks must go to keyclone. That is some damn fine maths! and on average I play 8+ hours a day so I love it. Also without your excellent piece of software this madness would not be possible. :thumbsup:
Someone will eventually do it. May as well be this guy.
