I'm impressed, Bolty. After reading your "WoW isn't ready" article back on release, I never expected you to invest that much time into the game.
I have two level 60s Zoid a level 60 male undead priest and Zoltana a level 60 troll female warrior. I really don't have any other character to speak off.
I'm in a huge guild, Elitist Jerks. We're a heavy raiding guild so I spent a lot of my time increasing my stats on my two characters. Zoid is my primary raiding character who's spec'd for healing in raids and has tons of molten core epic loot (five of eight prophecy, some transcendance too). Zoltana is my farming character who's built for solo money gaining as well as PvP.
Overall, I've been really happy with the WoW experience. I really love raiding with my guild a couple times a week. Everyone gets more powerful and I'm looking forward to taking on the next raid zone, Blackwing Lair.
The only let down is that I'm terribly disappointed in battlegrounds for one reason: the horrible queuing implementation. Waiting three hours to play a game of BG that last ten minutes is not fun. Not too mention a lot of time I miss my chance since I'm afk when the "You're ready for AV1" pops up. I just gave up on even playing. Just give us a game/signup list like a Quake server and stop hiding the numbers of who's queued from us.
I'll be playing this game for a long time however. I played Diablo2 solid for three years. I'm around 18 months into WoW now (including beta).
