Just two weeks out of Basic Training, I've got a fat stack of great games such as Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age, Borderlands, and several more. What do I do? Start a new account in WoW. A friend and I got the great idea for him to recruit me (didn't care much for my old account) into the game. By doing so we gain an addition 300% XP when questing together up to level 60, along with other benefits like summoning one another. Also, I'll be able to grant another one of his characters levels. The recruit gets one level every two levels to grant to the recruiter.  I hit level 26 in a mere 4-5 hours, mind you I've also put some time in my professions, we've had to organize, train, and so on. That's pretty good time if I do say so myself. 
 
We're hoping to hit 60 tomorrow if time permits. I'm playing a Destruction Warlock and he's leveling a Fury Warrior. I've been able to spend some time with other games. I'm level 16 in Borderlands, I feel like I don't have time for DragonAge so I've barley played past the part were the game actually begins, and Modern Warfare has proven to be a blast. Oh, and I bought the Beatles! Mind you that this is the last chance I'll have to see the original world before Cataclysm comes out. I've never hit a level cap in WoW, it's sorta on my "list of game related stuff I need to do before I die".

 Damn you, WoW!

While your playing your cd drive opens up and injects Wow heroin into your leg, this is why people are addicted.

i think that u should have not started wow first maybe make that last as ur going to be just thinking about wow now on. i keep in touch with a few peope from playing wow. when were playing something on xbox we talk about good times playing wow. now it kind of gets me thinking about playing wow.

Game has changed greatly since then to stream line leveling (since honestly, leveling is boring until northrend levels) Mounts are now at 20/40/60/70. 
 
WoW always killed my need to play other video games, glad it is out of my life for good. But hey WOTLK made the game fun again and if you want to play it I say go for it now.

20 is the normal-slow ground mount, 40 is the fast ground mount, 60 is the normal flying mount, and 70 is the fast flying mount. Prices were cut across the board (for example slow ground mounts cost 1g or 80 silver with rep and the training is around 5g) and now flying mounts scale with rep.

Just wait on those other games. In a month you'll be 80 with full epics and bored out of your skull. Then you'll find you have plenty of time for those other games.

man has time changed. i remember farming the 5,000 gold to get my epic flying mount. it took like a month from the glitch that i was doing. i was a rogue and i went into an instance, stealth to the stairs, throw at an enimy jump down, grab the box then stealth, reset the instance and keep on doing that.

I've tried playing WoW before, wasn't a fan. I just didn't find it comfortable.

Nice job! A friend of mine and I did a similar thing awhile ago when I was still playing. Made leveling a second character (for me) really fast! It was insane! Fun too actually, since getting levels so fast is actually enjoyable.
 
Have fun with it man!
