I think this is a great way to go if you've realized that WoW is taking over your life.

If the service is successful, you get a brand new toon pre-leveled and ready to go, no hassle.

If the service gets your account banned, you shrug and come to the inevitable conclusion that WoW just isn't worth any more of your time.

It's a good way to make that final choice.

Why not just enjoying the moment of play. I personaly wouldn't care about my character if he was leveled by some one else. There is no connection/attachment to it.
But again thats me, I love challenges and fair rewards.
Most of power leveled characters I heard of quit the game and get bored really quickly.
So for most ppl I think powerleveling is waste of money and most importantly lose of enjoyment.

Great story. Thanks for it.

And it highlights a problem mmos will have to face very well. What is the real difference between investing time and investing money?

I do not think cheating should be allowed. But if the game is designed as a timesink, then is avoiding the timesink cheating? The poster wanted to play with a family member, requiring powerleveling? Is it in the best interest of the game to allow him to do so, or is it in the best interest of the game to not allow him to do so?

I will be interested in seeing how future games handle issues like these.

A bit stretched man... these 3 blogs were as long as levelling from 1-70 or something!

I used the service myself, the website I used actually called to tell me they got my order and started the process. They called me back to confirm it's completion.

Although I couldn't afford an all level powerlevel, and opted for a 1-16 one... I actually logged into my account during the process, logged into account management and went on forums and everything.

hmmm.... my flatmate was into WoW and he always attempted to seduce me into it, but i resist as i knew it was th end of my life and my degree if i even sniffed near it.

now that i'm out of education and rolling in money (not really) power levelling seems attractive. would love to see all the fun stuff, but skip all the pain.

but then again, maybe i should just shut up and buy Team Fortress 2 and a nice gaming laptop?

meh.

CHINA RULES CHECK YOUR GD HOUSE ITS FULL OF Chinese Ingenuity.
Blizz banned me after my account was hacked
so I power leveled two rogues.
(yes I had a rogue and know how to play a rogue )
They banned me and told me to F#@# off so I laugh and bought two PL hahaha. I dont care just want to be back up to speed and a couple of hundred dollars isn't that much.

Nice read, thanks. I have friends who have powerlevelled and none of them have been banned. However, they can attest to the sleepless nights and waiting you endured.

I played WoW for a long time, ended up with 140 days game time and 18 months of my life wasted. I'm glad i don't play anymore as now i've actually started doing something with my life!

Cheers,

Reading your text, I could hear the devil laughing!

Me, I'm still laughing. Thank you, it was very amusing *wiping tear*. I can relate to the paranoia ordering stuff from ebay and waiting for the package to arrive.

I’d pay that money just to get rid of my WoW addiction!
