Sweet game so far. They've made questing really fun.

So far I've made a Tauren Warrior (with Gorilla), didnt have time to mess around much with the warrior (the rage special attacks are really nice) as i had to log early. Later on I made a Troll Priest (healer) and im loving it. Smite spell is really nice, the animation on spell casting is awesome. Every spell has its own spell animation/effects. It kinda reminds me of anime spell casting, almost a martial arts feel to it.

I experienced virtually NO lag whatsoever while playing (i figured Stress Test = lag).. but there are still things needing to be fixed i.e. bugs. The experience difference from quests to just killing random mobs are significantly different. For instance, one mob being killed rewards you (at level 3) 30xp, while a quest will reward around 200 xp. Quests are obviously easy at this level, but they are revolved around exploring/getting to know the area you spawned in.

PvE wise, this is a great game. Questing FTW.

PvP wise, havent checked out the PvP server yet.

The main difference is the leveling content. Horde has a deffinate slowdown around lvl 28 but picks up again around 37 or so. Alliance seems to be pretty smooth all the way through.

On a further note my buddy Hamfist from SoL won the stress chest challenge.

And guess who was #1 on the entire server? That's right, me! I made level 45, with a time played of 6 days, 5 hours. I think I ended up as the #3 overall mage across all servers. Hope you all enjoyed trying out the game, I know I didn't. Time to get some well earned sleep.


That gives you an idea how fast you can level in WoW in extreme cases -
