Another lost level 60

[Alarick]

I guess I'm not at the place you are so I can't empathize, and I have no clue really what you are talking about.  I will qualify my experience in that this is my first MMORPG, and I did wait to start playing the game until February.  Generally, I am a tight wad, so the biggest obstacle to me diving into WOW was the P4P model.  My timing at plunking along and reaching 60 is not bad as I figure just as I get there, the battlegrounds and some more new content will be released.

I was exactly where you are at when I was pre-60. I honestly expected to be playing the game a lot longer than I am. I've played one other MMORPG, and I wasn't too heavily invested in anything with that game. I played mostly to do something with some of my friends at the time.

The payment thing isn't a problem for me. I would gladly pay if I had things to do in endgame. I just don't have the time.

So, in the next few weeks when I reach level 60 with my main I fully expect to jump in on some higher level content.  So casual to me means that on MWF weekdays I would expect not to start until after work hours (7pm Stormrage time), on the weekends I could jump into some extended play if we started early (like 7am), or later in the day (like 4pm).  It is summer here in the northern climates, so I need to enjoy the all too brief warm outdoor weather.

As for taking breaks after 2 - 3 hours in an instance...  My god I would hope so, I don't want to be so commited that I need to wear a diaper.  Anyway, I don't see that your situation is all that different from the majority.  I hope to see you back in the fall, or whenever your craving compels you to rejoin.

I think we have slightly different views of casual. As I said in other posts, casual means I don't have long chunks of time ever to play. I can play at various times, but never for more than 3 hours in a row, and usually not for more than 2.

If I had time, breaks would be expected in long instance runs. I, however, don't have the time you do on any day. You sound like you will have time to do instance runs at level 60. Not taking the boredom aspect into account, you will have things to do. I do not, and that is why I am leaving.
