subject: Exactly What Are The Great Things About A Wow Cataclysm Leveling Guide? [print this page] However, once those first fledgling steps are taken, most players settle down and find their own way to make-it in the game. There is a huge variety of races and character classes to play and the chances are that somewhere there's a combination that will fit you like a glove. Do you like to express yourself with a sword? or perhaps blasting monsters with magic is your thing? You may be one of those rare types that prefers to give, rather than to receive - perhaps becoming a healer is your calling?
Regardless of your choices within the game - one fact remains. It's huge. Let me say that again, its HUUUGE. This isn't some kind of 200 room dungeon with a few monsters that re-materialize every 5 minutes. There is just so much room to breathe it's unbelievable. The place is so stuffed with monsters, secrets and quests that you could spend a lifetime wandering from place to place trying to figure it all out.
Now, some people are quite happy to mooch around, picking up the game and the quests as they go - and I say: good luck to them. If you can treat your game-time like disposable income - I envy you. I just don't have that much available to me - every minute is precious. It's not a problem if you're 18, no kids, no responsibilities - you can afford to spend days at a time figuring it all out and making those wrong turns that waste hours. But don't for a minute think that 18 year olds with nothing to do with their lives form the majority of the WoW player demo-graphic. Data on the game's player demographic isn't perfect - but Nick Yee's Project Daedalus gathered data that showed only about 25% of MMORPG players are teenagers, and the average age? 26. On average - a player will spend 22 hours a week playing the game. Now - as I said - these stats aren't perfect - but I can sure as hell tell you that I don't get 3 hours a day to play games!
It's the time issue that makes me want a more guided experience within the game - I want to explore and find new things - but I want to do it on my terms. I don't want to waste time if I don't understand something. I'm fully aware that I'm not "Albert Einstein" quality when I comes to thinkin'. There are some bits to the game I just don't get. Part of it is my own intelligence - but I think that more of it is that sometimes - the game's designers and I just don't "click"; that is, we're not on the same wavelength. It's at these points in the game that I turn to, what is perhaps, my best investment to-date - other than buying my WoW time that is!
I use Dugi's Ultimate WoW leveling guide. This is an in-game guide. That is, it shows itself within the game client. There's no reading of a manual, no flicking between windows on the computer. The guide is always there if you need it.
It really is the perfect WoW companion. It can help you level your character (any race, any class) from 1 all the way to 85.
