Confessions ...

gratz Jaf!

I sort of did that. I played Wow from, i dunno. launch-ish til BC (solo, and occasionally dual-boxing), off and on, and never got past 30 somehow. Came back towards the end of BC and 5boxed to 70, and then to 80 fairly promptly when wrath came out; but it was still months after the expansion (wrath) before i did. lol. all my friends were long since 80, and im stil like 75.) Ironically, after that first team, subsequent teams went faster....

I also have to confess, in eq, i did exactly that. I played it for years and years. (dunno, 99 til a few years ago. I hopped back and forth between it, wow, and eq2 quite a bit. oh, theres another game i never got past 30 in. lol... ) and i dont think i was ever level capped. (well, maybe for awhile during planes of power, maybe)

I had a theory for awhile, that i was scared of hitting the cap and getting bored, without the drive to level. Hmm. this theory isnt entirely disproven since I now have 3 full 5 sets of 80 (err, and none of them are the shamans that I got to 70 with at the end of BC, lol) s, and im thinking of taking the druids there next...funny how i keep starting new teams....

hehe. the advantage (or disadvantage, for us procrastinators) to wow is that you cannot level backwards...so persistence = eventually hitting the cap, and going 'now what?' lol. i remain convinced thats the only reason I have more than 1 set of 80s. LOL.

Congrats! it is always nigce to hit that max level. i remember when I did it with my first toon. I had played many different MMORPG's before and had never done it. My now ex wife never understood my interest in games, and I inevitably always had to quit a game to keep her happy before I hit that top level. it was odd, after my divorce I started playing wow and it took over a year to hit top level, maybe even two years, I can't remember. But when I did I had a sense of accomplishment that made me wonder if I had been allowed to do it on the other games I had played that I might have been able to relax in the ammount of time played after getting there and thus not pissing off the wife as much, but that is doubtful.

Right now, I have three lvl 80 toons that I have leveled up traditionally, and have a 65-66 team of 5 shaman.

Grats again!!

Thanks for the gratz.. It's hard to find a balance between games and wife. I think the movie "White Men Can't Jump" had a similar theme, although it was gambling instead of a gaming addiction.

Yes, I hated Diablo where you could lose experience when dying!
