The few conflicts they had were quickly brushed aside and/or easily overcome. So what's next? I did though find the book entertaining

The plan to 80

2008-11-15T00:25:00.000-08:00

The plan to 80 is this: spend two weeks on the main (Azureous) and two weeks on the alt (Mierelle, Death Knight) alternating the rest experience and hopefully maximizing on both time played and experience gained.All by the end of December, *crosses fingers*.There's also hope that we can squeeze in some time for the former alt, but I doubt it.
