Well my friend, who doesn't like playing with others for some reason, will be glad to know he can get high lvl without help. I'm thinking of joining WoW just not till years end, or 1st quarter of /09. Just got some stuff to finish up. I'm sure i'll still see u all then:)
Quote:Further to Bolty's post - WoW is a social game. It's possible to reach the highest level playing alone, but it's not anywhere near as satisfying as doing so playing with others (especially a regular group of friends). All the levelling up dungeons are instanced (each group gets their own copy) and designed for five people; a group that works well together can get by with fewer. On old servers it can be hard to find groups for lower level content which is a bit of a shame because it's the game's greatest strength.
A first time player averaging a couple of hours a day will probably take several months to reach the highest permitted character level so there will be plenty for you to do for a while. Once you've done that and want to continue playing your character the game changes - further character growth comes from improving your gear which fairly quickly means changing to a different style of play. One avenue is player vs player combat and the other is raiding - playing with a large group of other players on a strict schedule against tightly scripted enemies. Not everyone that reaches level cap enjoys making the shift but you can always make a new character and do it again.
