MMORPG.com World of Warcraft Correspondent Richard Turner pens this article on levelling in World of Warcraft together with some tips for the task for new players.

World of Warcraft has been the leader in all Massive Multiplayer Online Games for a few years now. Of course there are many reasons why this has occurred, but one of the more notable ones is how the issue of levelling your character to the highest level (70 here) is accomplished. Most quests are just: run here, kill that, loot this, bring it back, but the way they are put together eliminates the incredible grind session found in many other MMORPG’s today. What Blizzard has accomplished with this game is something that is both enjoyable for the hardcore or casual player, and will continue to propel their monster of a franchise forward into the not too distant future.

Check it out here.

Cheers,

It's spelled "leveling."

 

Sorry, but I hate coming to a site that looks professional only to see 5th grade spelling in the title of an article.

P.S.  Stradden, a question of curiousity, how long does it take for correspondent pieces to get published from the day they are handed in? Thanks :)

I have a couple issues with this article:

"If you ever feel as though you’re burnt out, there are ways to break up the monotony of questing. The Battlegrounds, such as Warsong Gulch at level 10, Arathi Basin at 20, Alterac Valley at 50,"

The battlegrounds, if you want to have a good time are only accesable at level 19, 29, 39, etc. If you attempt the BGs at say level 10 or 20 you will be wasting your time, because you will get slaughtered. Even a 3 level difference is enough to make the BGs unnaccessably fun to players and I'm not even going to go into the twink issues.

Also, it's leveling.

Did the world really need another leveling in WoW article?    This has been done to death.

Seriously, you have way too much time on your hands to worry about a simple spelling mistake. I suppose you have never done this?

Glad we have so many teaching professionals on these boards, god only knows how bad things could be if we didnt.

As long as your enjoying the game and having fun, then that's all that matters.

Leveling is a verb, as used in the title of the article.  Levelling is an adjective or adverb, used in a phrase such as, "I'm using a levelling plane or levelling instrument in this task."

I concur with the opinion that the article title contains improper spelling.  However, other than THAT....nice article! :)

---------------------
THE ABOVE POST IS MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION. Duh.
Playing: WoW, EQ2, EVE, played WAR through the first month, presently in closed beta two upcoming MMOs, really looking forward to The Agency, Runes of Magic, Aion and TCoS releases. Still debating a return to Vanguard. I also play FPS games, such as Unreal 3 and Painkiller, and some single player games like Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. I'm addicted.
