I find myself logging in to look at characters and having the same disconnect with them. I think that's also why I tend to fire up a new character, run it to 10 or 12 or so (very fast), because I can see discernable gain from doing that. But it's also just boring at times. Occasionally I get some insight by running new chars through the beginning stages, but I still have a disconnect. I try periodically to start characters in classes I never play - warlock, mage, priest, even warrior (though to qualify I'm trying very hard to develop a nice warrior), but inevitably these are the ones I drop and play anew. What bothers me is that this is obviously wasted time that I *could* have been doing my mains (yeah, plural) with, and am just that much farther behind on them. Ultimately I'd like to have a solid druid, and warrior to balance out my hunters. The fingerwagglers I get bored with way too early. I like your idea of dedicating time to running one character through to 70. that's admirable. dunno if I have that much disipline to do that but hey. :) shibumi oh grats on STV - that is a very fine place to hunt for quite a while. ironic you should mention, mania, the urge to play but not finding satisfaction in what you are playing at the time.

Also, finishing those quests suddenly becomes more attractive when on top of the reward (which I either use or DE), now give a nice money boost! I have quite a few quests with over 10g reward and up to 19g! And that's for solo quests, not dungeon quests! So I'll be making some money and spending some money to gear up my druid a bit then get back to Someone and level her to 70 as well, although still 7.5 or so levels away! Granted, the Flight Form at 68 was a MAJOR incentive for leveling my druid after a friend loaned me some couple hundred gold, which I quickly repaid in only a couple night's play... Making money at high levels is *so* much easy and now looks even better at 70! Now I need to buy Someone a decent 2H as I can now do +30 INT on my main char and the mats are not that hard/expensive to get! Pitty one can not send SB stuff to one's alts to have them chanted! :( Well, seeing how Mania plays Kaet lately, I’d say that the FP in Rebel Camp will still be put to a decent use! ;)

I don’t do (much) conversing or acting in character towards others, I just quietly live my solitary adventurous life in Azeroth. " I know exactly what you mean, this just how I play. Probably the reason I have so many alts, too. Good to see you having fun again. You inspired me to start a new pet/race hunter combo I've never done before: a female bloodelf and a white bear (which I found out about thanks to Petopia) Hit lvl 11 and marched over to the Dwarf homeland to tame the legendary Mangeclaw... now that was an adventure...
