I haven’t done much movement in leveling up today, except doing an old quest in Desolace of siding with one of the centaur races.
I can’t help but think I may be wasting my time doing this. Even with a pet, I still feel… lonely. Plus, I feel I keep being asked that question; “Ben. You already have a Hunter. Why make another one?”.
And I tell them “I want to make my first Level 80 Horde char”… yet those words depress me. Because, I’m having to pretty much start all over again. All the hell I forgot I went though when I was leveling Benie up. In other words, I don’t wanna go through it all over again.
The 2nd thing, is being on the Horde side. You see, I don’t know any of them. I feel like shit compared to them, even with this mount. I feel so weak with this shitty gear I have compared to them.
Which goes to the 3rd thing. I’m thinking too far ahead instead of focusing what’s right infront of me. It feels like I’ll never get to 80. Never ever. That I will be stuck as a low level forever.
I’m even going to places I’m not supposed to, aka Northrend. I found the zeppelin for Borean Tundra, outside of Org. It goes to this “Warsong Hold”… and MAN is it massive. It looks like it’s half the size of Dalaran.
Inside is a map of Northrend, showing the locations of the scourge, and the Alliance/Horde bases. The only other place I’ve seen that map was in Zul’Drak.
There’s also this awesome lift that goes to the outside. If you have a flying mount, you can use this as a platform to go inside the hold, and you can fly in the hold.
Also, the zeppelin docks inside this place. It’s the very zeppelin I keep seeing cruising by Valgrade Keep.
During me looking around, high levels where looking at me like “WTF?! What’s a low level doing here?”. I would probably say the same thing if I saw a low level walking around.
Which is what I mean. I won’t just settle down and focus on “Ok. I’m a Level 31. I can go here or here.”
And then there’s a 4th thing. Solo questing gets boring, which makes me feel lonely. Also, there’s no real place for lowbies to just relax after a boring day of leveling, like the Alliance has with Goldshire. In Org, all I see is basically all I see in Stormwind. Level 80’s running around and chilling out, with a few lowbies running by.
Life was better when the level cap was 60. Then it wouldn’t feel like it will take me forever to get there. But also then I would be without a mount until Level 40. But at least I would have the cash to afford it without paying someone. Plus, it would feel more meaningful.
In my opinion, they should’ve left that alone, since Level 40 is halfway now, it would feel like a true achievement.
Where’s this promise Blizzard made that it will be quicker to go from 1-60 when TBC was released? It doesn’t feel any easier to me. It feels just as long as it took me in the past to go from 1-60.
I wish I could just go to Org one day, open up Trade chat and say “LF a friend to talk to, to not make leveling boring.” without being laughed at.
Maybe the only thing I need to do is just do a few instance runs with a group, and get my mind off of leveling, and onto the fun of WoW. Like to SFK or something. Unfortunately, tomorrow is maintenance, and it’s going to be hard to look for a group.
