alt-itis as a pyramid scheme

Good news: My mage got her mount immediately upon reaching level 40.

Bad news: My level 35 warrior is going to be SO screwed. (Well, okay, so are the other 5. But she's the one who'll get hit first.)

Hmm. If I start a warlock now...

Ruh-roh.

What server are you on?

[dianec42.livejournal.com]

Emerald Dream (RP-PVP). Alliance...

You?

Wacky-parsed that as "My mage got mounted..."

If you're working more than one character, isn't at least one of them a hunter with both skinning and mining specced for goldfarming?

[dianec42.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm not "working" them so much as "playing" them... (-:

One of them is a night elf priest who lives in the auction house though. Still can't decide if he needs to start yelling "Free enchants!" in the lowbie zone, or just auction off a million strange dusts and lesser magical essences...

Tee hee. My Warrior (53) just had to cough up 100g to help get my Warlock (60) components for Robe of the Void. I have way too many alts, too.

You have way more of an attention span than I do. One of my resolutions for 2006 is to get a character, any character, past level 42 without getting bored and giving up.

Hmmm. What I don't have an attention span for is sending one more character through the deadmines to kill Van Cleef-- there's always new shiny things if you keep moving forward. However, I also wonder if advancing on an RP server is slower, because of the time spent (no doubt enjoyable) on, well, Roleplaying. It may not be as much of an accomplishment to get to 60 on a normal server.

I don't really think I spend that much time RPing. PVPing, on the other hand, will slow you right the heck down...
