I nearly have my first level 70 in WoW (though I have literally 20+ characters over level 40) . You could say that I have a problem with alts, or you could say that I simply consume every single bit of content that I can. Either way you would be right. Getting so close to the high bar I wonder if perhaps I should reintroduce myself to another game. Finally reaching 70 is surely going to ruin my WoW experience. I mean, I've enjoyed the ride thus far never hitting the ceiling. Why ruin it?

What would you like me to go back to? Tell me in the Loading... forums.

Do you feel the need to contact me personally with naughty pictures? Here's my E-mail.
