Lovely post!
The big step is really when you reroll the class of your main, simply cause you wan to play it again from scratch and see it evolve. After all, its leveling thats fun and classes I enjoy I want to enjoy all the time. Not only when the raid is on (which it quicky deterioates to at 80…).

Thank you thank you thank you! I am officially coming out of the closet, too then: I love leveling! There. I said it. Okay, there are some grinds that set my teeth on edge (stupid centaur rep in Desolace, for one… uggh.. only… 40 more kills…).

But there’s something about the CHANGE! The advancement! Look, Mom! I’m growing up! Again! And LOOK! You evil pigman, you took me out over and over 5 levels ago, but I’m back now! And I can one-shot you now! Mua ha ha ha! Level 35 dominates!

I, erm, have been told that I’m “amazing leveler”…. which, to confess, was in somewhat of a contrast to my firmly decent to mediocre endgame skills. So I embrace what I’m good at.

[...] of love and shared enthusiasm, Pike at Aspect of the Hare wrote an excellent post on the joy of levelling. It made me really happy to read it because there’s so much emphasis on endgame these days and, [...]

I whole heartedly agree. I find leveling in the game to be one of the most fun-filled things ever. The only problem for me is, I love leveling Hunters. The only downside for me is, I put so much time onto my main Hunter that I can’t imagine not playing her. One of these days though, I’ll get a draenei Hunter to 80….or they’ll let me do a race change on the same faction XD

I like the leveling and questing best too! I actually don’t really enjoy raiding as a DPSer because it’s always a competition. But once you’re at 80 there’s only so much you can do, and I need the gear. That said, your blog has been exceptionally helpful in getting my dps up.

Preach on, sister! My “power-questing” friends are all running around doing heroics but I’m working my 7 toons in sorta sequence…there’s always at least a level’s worth of rested bonus and it’s fun to work Horde for awhile, then switch to Alliance. Still haven’t found anything to match the fun of a hunter but my paladin comes close…and by deliberately taking a casual approach to leveling, I can enjoy choosing new talents that aren’t in my “main” tree…no doubt it leaves me at a disadvantage against a pure spec toon, but who cares as long as it’s fun? At least I’ll never be like my compadres who dread sitting around in Dalaran looking for a group that might actually survive whatever instance they try

Ah….I know where you’re coming from since I’m quite a big altaholic. I mean, I haven’t even got my main to level 80 yet aha!

I’m glad to see you enjoy all the quests with alts…I enjoy some but find that I know which ones to avoid due to them being boring a second time round or I don’t get bored because me and my friend will have lowbies that we can quest together on to make it more fun to level.

Nice post, I enjoyed reading it!

I actually have the worst out of both sides to the game that way. Unless I’m raiding/doing a heroic or whatever, I’m bored on my 80. However, leveling my Hunter who like, just an hour ago hit 74, is equally boring. Add in the altoholicism I have, I have a ton of characters under 10 I cannot bear to level because I’ve done some areas 2 times max, while I’ve done some others 10+ times and I can just not bear myself to level like that again.

YET, the big yet here, would have to be having my best friend play as well on my server… we’re leveling Hunters together and doing PvP with them when we hit the “proper” levels for brackets. (Although, it’s hilarious to see the reactions of twinks whining about the level 21s in the BG filled with 29s. XD) We did actually find a glitch with WSG actually, we leveled to 20 and 21 out in Ashenvale and it was amazing… We went to go back to Darn to train and we did a few rounds of WSG as a 21 and a 20 in the… 19 Bracket. It was amazing. It was a great glitch, people kept asking, “WOAH HOWD U GET IN UR 21″ It. Was. Hilarious. We always told them, “MAGIC!” and they always responded, “no rly how”. XD;;

Good luck leveling your new characters, and I hope you get more want to play your higher ups!

As someone with 7 60+ toons and 4 80s I know the feeling u got there, now they ain’t all the same because I’m just weird in a way I cannot reroll the same class (hey I know, it is strange for an altaholic), but the biggest thing to me is I may remember the questline but now I actually sorta know what to do and how to have fun with it. For instance, my main and first toon was a subtlety rogue-yeah I know leveling sneaky is strange but I had to know where every mob was and organize my way around them….whereas my second toon was a warrior, and I still couldn’t go aggroing the whole zone at once (that came in prot form in wrath ) It was fun to be able to see the quests and the zone in a different way.

I’ve been bitten by the leveling bug too, working on a baby druid on Feathermoon and my Belf hunter duo (who just hit 58! woohoo Outland) on Durotan, as well as a few of my older alts that have been sitting around gathering dust- I mean rested xp. I think I’ve missed old-school Azeroth.

I may even get on my hunter on Silver Hand sometime soon. >.>
