First level 70 Death Knight on the realms
Odds are, I'd say, that we'll see our first level 80 sometime this afternoon (and probably in Europe, since they got a little bit of a time zone head start) -- we've had reports come in from one very obnoxious Paladin, but his claims to level 80 aren't actually true. But in the meantime, here's the first level 70 Death Knight we've heard of: Arello of Raptors Open Doors on Shattered Hand dinged 70 as a Death Knight in Northrend's New Agamand. The Armory doesn't have his character in yet, but this seems credible to us.
We're not sure he's the absolute first, though, just the first we've heard of -- anyone else have proof of a Death Knight at 70 already? And we'll keep an eye out for (credible) claims of level 80 firsts -- the run from level 60 to 70 took about 28 hours the first time around, so unless Blizzard did things a lot different, we'll probably see it sometime today.

Work is killing me. Being a Medical Assistant in an office where no patients want to come in and a brand new Expansion burning holes in my computer.
Must. . . Get. . .Home. . .

Fed Ex told me it was on the truck and would be here by 3, DRIVE FASTER
Hefren Nov 13th 2008 1:54PM
Wow, now that's some powerleveling. I think my eyes would bleed playing for that long straight. Too each there own.
Hefren Nov 13th 2008 1:55PM
Sorry, their own.

Also, "to each."
Hefren Nov 13th 2008 2:29PM
Ya, saw that one too after the first post. They need an edit tool.

I ordered the key off eBay, and still no sign of it. Come on!
Beatphreek Nov 13th 2008 2:00PM
Bought the key on EBAY...
LOL's may be in order....
Ed (Sindarin, Hydraxis US) Nov 13th 2008 2:07PM
And what other choice do you suppose I had, being from the UK and being on the US realms? I notice a lot of people who have ordered WotLK still have not received it through Fedex, either.
Ed (Sindarin, Hydraxis US) Nov 13th 2008 2:29PM
And the key just arrived! Death Knight here I come!
Otce Nov 13th 2008 1:55PM
I too am waiting on FedEx. I assume anyone that actually has Wotlk wouldn't be here. How can the FedEx person not see my package and make it his number one priority? Screw those other packages.

I have heard that Elladan on Aegwynn has hit LVL 80 at 11:35 AM EDT. I have not seen this myself, but it was posted on our guild forum.

Yeah way to rush through content in hours so well made it took Blizzard years to make. This is the equivalent of having reservations at a 5 star restaurant for 14 months with a 7 course meal. Then eating all 7 courses as fast as you can stuffing it in your face and running out of the restaurant.
I don't want to hit 80 for another month or two.

And how does this affect you Naix? They're just doing it to do it. I'm 100% sure that whoever hits 80 first has got an alt, which he/she is going to level up afterwards, taking time to do it.
I'm personally rushing atm because a) I was in the beta, starting zones are boring to me - b) i fucking hate quests. I simply cannot stand them. The only way i can take them is if i am just told what to do, e.g. by a guide. Currently using Zygors in-game alliance, and it's working like a charm.
I tried to get the whole lore and experience to begin with in the Fjord but.. I just can't. I hate quests, and i hate leveling, period. It's just something that I'm going to rush through to get to the fun part

It affects me by having me form an opinion of someone rushing to 80. I love questing and reading every detail about every quest I do and accomplish. It's like reading and being apart of a good book.
Anything created well and superbly designed to be enjoyed is done slow.
