With that in mind I and probably the rest of the World of Warcraft community have been keeping a close eye on the Cataclysm information, looking for anything new Blizzard releases, and also becoming familiar with the major changes that will rock the WoW world we know and love. The changes are big, and most of them nike shoes look like they are going to bring about good changes, that will not only inspire new players to play, but may entice old players to reactivate their subscriptions. There is however one thing that is coming with the new expansion that makes me /sigh in real life.
Leveling.Sure it doesn’t sound like such a terrible thing, and some people even enjoy it, but I just can’t ever seem to get excited about it. Sure I enjoy seeing the new zones and experiences the often times witty quest text that Blizzard lovingly puts into the game, but at a certain point I just can’t stand it anymore. Usually this happens right around the last level, or next to last level when the grind seems to take forever, and I’m fairly sure that I will die of old age before I actually reach max level.
So far all I’ve done is QQ about having to level, and I’ve given no real reason why I personally dislike it so much. And really what do I have to complain about, since Blizzard is only adding 5 levels instead of 10 this time. I am pleased with Blizzard&rsquo,cheap ugg boots;s choice to only add 5 additional levels to the game, but I am still dreading that level grind, and here&rsquo,custom usb;s why:
The night the expansion is released I am one of those people that must go out hours before midnight, and stand in a line with a bunch of strangers just to be sure that I have my copy as soon as humanly possible. I could probably have it mailed to me, and it would be there the next day but that’s not good enough! Then when I get it home, I frantically unwrap the box (which is usually a rather trying experience, me and boxes do not get a long) and insert the CD in my drive and hold my breath as the load screen appears.
Once the load screen is up I read through the books that normally come along with the game, and hopefully by the time I’m done the game is done installing and I proceed to log in. From there it becomes a sort of obsession for me. Much like my desire to be the first (or as close as possible) to the front of the line to purchase the game, I must be one of the first people to reach max level. I have this inane desire to be one ugg boots of the first players to experience the new max level content and that desire drives me to remain up nights, to deprive myself of sleep, and sometimes even neglect to shower longer than I would normally allow. My friends and family become distant memories of the past, and all that matters is that I reach my goal.
Now I know what you’re thinking, I don’t need to do any of this. I don’t have to be the first, and the content will be there regardless of if I do it in a week or 6 months, but I want to do it. Maybe it’s my competitive nature bubbling to the surface,floding bike, but the need to get to max level and do the content is something I can hardly suppress.
Even when I manage to reach max level on my main toon the leveling does not end. I, like many other players, have several alts that I enjoy playing, and of course in order for them to experience end game content they too need to go through the leveling process. This can be a long and tiring process, depending on how many alts you actually have. I personally have three, which brings my level total from 5 to 20. I can tell you after the first time, the leveling process certainly loses some of it’s luster, and after the second or third you start to know the quest text by heart and it just becomes more tedious than fun.
I will give props to Blizzard though, they foresaw this and learned from past expansions, which is why they are only adding an additional 5 levels and instead focusing on end game content which you can see in this direct quote from the World of Warcraft website:
“We decided to focus on providing more end-game and maximum-level content for players. We learned a lot from Wrath of the Lich King, and want to ensure players have more content to experience right away when they reach the new cap of level 85. We’re also putting a lot of time and effort into reworking the level 1 to level 60 content. We’ve learned a lot designing the previous expansions and felt we could apply those lessons to improve the leveling-up experience. Creating alts has always been a popular pastime for players, and we wanted to ensure Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms remain a vital part of the game world.”
After all this complaining I would like to say that there are some things I do enjoy about leveling. I enjoy the new (and usually most awesome) areas that Blizzard will introduce for us to do our leveling in, and the lore that nike shoes comes along with it. As stated before, I enjoy reading the quest text (at least the first time around) and really getting into the story line. I enjoy leveling with my friends, and laughing as we all fail at new encounters, or get stomped by the huge monster that is wandering around the low level zone. But without a doubt, I’m happy when the level grind is over.
