Even with a pet, I still feel&#8230; lonely. Plus, I feel I keep being asked that question; &#8220;Ben. You already have a Hunter. Why make another one?&#8221;.<br \/>\nAnd I tell them &#8220;I want to make my first Level 80 Horde char&#8221;&#8230; yet those words depress me. Because, I&#8217;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&#8217;t wanna go through it all over again.<\/p>\n<p>The 2nd thing, is being on the Horde side. You see, I don&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Which goes to the 3rd thing. I&#8217;m thinking too far ahead instead of focusing what&#8217;s right infront of me. It feels like I&#8217;ll never get to 80. Never ever. That I will be stuck as a low level forever.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m even going to places I&#8217;m not supposed to, aka Northrend. I found the zeppelin for Borean Tundra, outside of Org. It goes to this &#8220;Warsong Hold&#8221;&#8230; and MAN is it massive. It looks like it&#8217;s half the size of Dalaran.<br \/>\nInside is a map of Northrend, showing the locations of the scourge, and the Alliance\/Horde bases. The only other place I&#8217;ve seen that map was in Zul&#8217;Drak.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;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.<br \/>\nAlso, the zeppelin docks inside this place. It&#8217;s the very zeppelin I keep seeing cruising by Valgrade Keep.<\/p>\n<p>During me looking around, high levels where looking at me like &#8220;WTF?! What&#8217;s a low level doing here?&#8221;. I would probably say the same thing if I saw a low level walking around.<br \/>\nWhich is what I mean. I won&#8217;t just settle down and focus on &#8220;Ok. I&#8217;m a Level 31. I can go here or here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s a 4th thing. Solo questing gets boring, which makes me feel lonely. Also, there&#8217;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&#8217;s running around and chilling out, with a few lowbies running by.<\/p>\n<p>Life was better when the level cap was 60. Then it wouldn&#8217;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.<br \/>\nIn my opinion, they should&#8217;ve left that alone, since Level 40 is halfway now, it would feel like a true achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Where&#8217;s this promise Blizzard made that it will be quicker to go from 1-60 when TBC was released? It doesn&#8217;t feel any easier to me. It feels just as long as it took me in the past to go from 1-60.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I could just go to Org one day, open up Trade chat and say &#8220;LF a friend to talk to, to not make leveling boring.&#8221; without being laughed at.<br \/>\nMaybe 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&#8217;s going to be hard to look for a group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t done much movement in leveling up today, except doing an old quest in Desolace of siding with one of the centaur races.
