Yesterday morning Book hit Level 80. I’ve been playing Book in World of Warcraft since January. This was my first character I ever created. Now keep in mind I have friends who have played since the beta. But I finally decided to try it. I did my OCD thing with it, but that’s about par for the course for me. I started with the Lunar Festival. I hit 80 during the Midsummer Fire Festival. Lethann can probably remember when I was frustrated with playing when I first started and shoved my laptop (I was sitting on the floor at the time so it didn’t have far to fall). I hated the game at that point. But then she figured out I was spamming the "Attack" button which is really an auto-attack. I was turning on & off my auto-attack. So of course things were ending badly at that point. I was litterally going to quit playing. I think I was about level 4 or so at the time. I really hate dying in a game. Which is the biggest reason I don’t play many games. Plus I hate "you MUST defeat boss X to continue." If I can’t, I’m stuck there in the game. And I get frustrated that I can’t just bypass it. Or do something else in the game. But in WoW, only dungeons are like that. And you don’t have to do dungeons.
