Dire Aquatic Form

So, I played the Druid a bit last night, finished up the Battle of Hillsbrad chain, did some stuff in Southern Barrens with Sharon's rogue. She dinged 28, I dinged 25. I'm looking forward to the days right around Christmas when I'll be off from work and will have a bit more time to grind and quest and whatnot.

Speaking of Christmas, ugh. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but we're coming down to the wire and we're just so completely unprepared. No tree yet, doing the Christmas shopping tonight...it just feels like it's hit so suddenly, and I'm not going to be able to pull it all together in time.

Anyway, back on-topic. I'm hoping tonight we can do some questing in 1k. I'm a tad low for it, but hopefully there will be enough that I can get that it will be worth it. I'd really like to get an SFK run, but it seems like it's nigh on impossible to find runs for the low level instances, which makes me sad, because VC and SFK were some of my favorite instances ever. And I'd really like to get some practice in tanking and/or healing. Oh well, maybe things will come together more around the Gnomer/SM/RFD levels.

I will say that I have noticed the increased XP that came in Patch 2.3. Levelling seems to be going a bit faster. I expect that if I could get steady instance runs for quests that it'd be going even faster. Curious to see how things pick up when we hit the 30 quests and the increased xp there, too. I'm hoping to be back in Outland by the end of January, or so, and 70 by mid-March. Might be pie in the sky, but we'll see.

Okay, I'm curious. Of course, I have, like, no readership as of yet, but maybe I can drum up a little business with a quick poll of sorts. What's everyone's favorite 5 man instance? Old world, outland, any level. Mine? It's a toss up. Either Dire Maul North, or Caverns of Time: Old Hillsbrad. Post yours in the comments!
