OK, so I said...

OK, so I said three level 70s are enough...

Well I found something today that made me at least temporarily gitty to try out.

Blog: Adventures in dual boxing... eh, sounds fun and I want to see what I can do. 

A little history:
Some friends got me into playing World of Warcraft about 3 months before BC came out and refused to tell me what server they played on until they were sure I wasn’t a n00b (their guild had Naxx and AQ40 on DE farm)… they have yet to receive confirmation, but after a bit they told me that they were on Gorgonnash. So I abandoned my hunter at level 25 and created Lepp (stands for Leper… no, I had never seen the leper gnomes in game before Lepp hit 12). Before Lepp hit 60 and able to raid with my friends they transferred all of their characters to a PvE server. Since I hate the idea of not being able to remove my character to any server I want I stayed on Gorgonnash.

To be able to play with my friends I decided to level another character on their new server. Then I thought since I was leveling one character why not use Spek’s account and level two (one for the both of us).

I choose two Druids since I had already leveled Ardea to level 29 (PvP twink) and that would give us a wide range of possible combinations while having the same spells and leveling combat mechanics. For the record Spek thinks I have horrible taste in female Night Elves so I made her select the Elvin features.

To control both of them I played Wow in window mode, set up and key bound macros for any possible situation, and I would then click from window to window pressing specific macros. This was fun… I was able to nuke twice as fast and I thought I was doing something cool and fairly unique. May laptop was capable but got annoyed with having to click from screen to screen. I recognized that it became increasing less effective the more I leveled. I think they are sitting at 27…

Recently I found out that my best-friend-ever-who-I-haven’t-seen-in-eight-years plays WoW on a PvE server…

Yes, I was horribly tempted to transfer Ardea.

Occasionally I pop on their vent to hear their personalities and raid style. His guild is in the exciting phase of taking their first steps in 25 man content (first attempt on Mag soon). But, it IS PvE, and I just think there is something horribly wrong with getting stuck on a PvE server. So I have the urge to level again.

The good news is that my friend is leveling a priest (Jermsbegone) on our server… comparing his other character’s /played he will hit 70 MUCH faster than me. He has a 70 resto Shaman, warlock and mage

 I don’t think I have ever been so excited to level a new character… keyclone is a must for $20 being able to control multiple screens… brilliant! As I am thinking about leveling I am thinking about other applications that this utility will do.

So what to level? The old way, I was capped a 2 without becoming too inefficient switching through screens… but with keyclone, I may be able to revive my old horde account and play up to 3 at once.

I agree. There is no way I would be able to level a single character anymore... I am hoping with 2 or 3 at the same time it will be more fun/challenging/faster. I stocked my friend up with some good bags and a pair of [item]Tuxedo Pants[\item] with [item]Clefthide Leg Armor[\item]

I do not know for sure, maybe blood lust, but I tried doing the very same thing with a friend on the RP server Cenarion Circle.  His guild does not Role play, but they are very far behind the end game ladder.  They are up to curator who they have yet to beat.

I tried to level a mage there, but I found it difficult to start from scratch, you may have more fortitude than moi.  It is cool your friend is leveling over here though, my friend did not even bother with that.  Basically, my experience: Leveled to 30 and then quit because I knew it would not be fun lol.

Not saying your experience will be the same, you just reminded me of a similar situation.
