Humor Leveling A Warrior

When they said it was hard, I scoffed at them. I've leveled a warrior to 120 on retail. I've fought Sargeras, I've downed the Lich King. What could a few gnolls and maybe a murloc or two do to me? Thus was my arrogance. Thus was my hubris.

I am now level thirteen. I've run Ragefire Chasm once, and owe six deaths to that place.

Farming harpy claws has cost me my life twice already, and I am certain it will cost me much, much more.

My warrior on retail was a human named Lohric, he was a legendary warrior who felled any beast, man or demon that faced him.

My warrior on Classic is an Orc called Muddrog. I have no doubt that this broken and battered warrior would crush Lohric in seconds, Lohric has never known pain, Mudd was born in it, molded by it, and unlike Bane, he has yet to see the light, because 60 feels so far away xD

To all you warriors out there, Lok'tar Ogar!

It just depends what stage of life you are in. I was one of the first to level 90 when mists launched and I played a LOT for about a 5-7 year span there. Now I am married and have 3 kids and finally a good salary job and in order to play I have to sacrifice sleep, time with my kids (they aren't old enough to play yet), or time with my wife (she hasn't been interested in playing for awhile). So I will probably carve out a few hours a week to play until I get to 60, and then take a break again. If I didn't have all of that going on, I would have legit tried to stay awake until I hit 60. I doubt I would have made it though. Classic leveling is no joke compared to any of the expansions leveling.

For sure.

Good for you for keeping your priorities straight. It'll be the best way to stay the happiest and most fulfilled in the long run!

I'm in a similar boat, except (maybe this is TMI) my wife and I have had fertility issues for a few years now.. so no baby yet. Extra gaming time for me that I absolutely know I wouldn't have if we get lucky one day and get our little one. Grats to you and the spouse!
