For about a month and a half now, since Wrath of the Lich King came out, I’ve focused 99% of my game time on leveling. I’ve been playing MMORPGs for about 8 years now1 and have never had a character at the maximum level. It took months after Burning Crusade was released to even get a character to 58 so that I could experience the Outlands. When Wrath of the Lich King was released, I was sitting at 65.
With WotLK, however, that’s going to change. It’s already changed. Within a month of release, I took a Death Knight from 55 to 68. Now, not even 50 days after release, I’m well into level 73. I know, this might not seem like much to a lot of other players, but it’s pretty big for me. Usually I get sidetracked by alts; The only other characters I’ve logged on since WotLK’s release has been my Auction House mule, and a couple Alliance characters for quick tasks – grabbing Winter Veil gifts, putting things up on the neutral Auction House, etc. Professions have even taken a back seat – no seat, rather. My Death Knight had been without any professions (besides First Aid) until yesterday; I picked up Mining and Engineering.
So I guess you could say I’m enjoying the Death Knight class, since no other character has so dominated my attention.

Everyone I know who’s given DK any sort of real shot has really enjoyed it. My husband, who has several level 80 toons, plays is DK in heroics more than any of the others these days. My DK, meanwhile, is level 58. I’m terrible at melee toons, so I don’t see her being much more than that.
Good luck on your trek to level 80!
Thanks for the encouragment. I’m inching closer and closer to 80, faster than I though I would, to be honest. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to blog about it lately. I’m hoping I will soon, however.
