Oops put htis in the wrong thread so copied it here - gotta love cut and paste
As for playing. I came here from EQ2 after Asheron's call 2 folded which was after EQ 1. Dabbled in DAoC, SWG (loved runnign aorund the star wars world) and several others I can not remember.
I have been playing since release - yep I am one that loves to be in on the complete chaos that is starting day for a new game or new expansion or major addition. The wife thinks I am bonkers, as does my 28 year old son who plays these things too just not the ones I play
I quickly went to 17 characters - 8 each on my horde and alliance server and Tag to check out the RP scene. So many on the others to cover all professions, a Rogue and most recently two new races. I was leveling them all together - get one to a level then the next etc until they were all there then start over. Was a blast. But at 45 I did some quick math and realized that I would not get to 70 until 2011 at that rate. So decided to take one on each server to 70 then bring another etc etc.
That is the current working plan with a slight twist as I think I will get them all to 50 right after Tag gets his epic flyer (the other two had theirs within seconds of them reaching 70 and the difference is TREMENDOUS) so they can continue to work their various crafts. Hehe the pre Burning Crusades stuff is just not doint well on the auction hall these days so they need to move on to make more money for my next guy to 70 to use
