I had to take a break.
I was able to log in right after my last post and then another hour of killing I was up to level 7. I was doing the admantite giant toad quest on Talking Island. I've done this quest in closed beta quite a few times before. Well I wasn't prepared at trying to do this with a few hundred other people trying the same quest. The worst part is to collect the 20 quest items that you get when you kill a toad you have to be the only person that attacks it. That was a rare thing. There were so many people around they would attack anything as soon as they see it. Where normally I could do this quest in less that 30 minutes it took a hour and a half this morning. I've never wanted to just start attacking kill stealers so bad then early this morning around 6am. So around 6:30am I made it to level 8 and started hunting orcs. I was getting pretty tired at this point and accidently died at the hands of a orc archer at 7am. I took that as a sign to get some sleep. I ended up sleeping in around noon and then had some family stuff to do this afternoon. Getting a break into the real world and meeting and talking to real people is always good.
So now it's 5pm and I'm about to start up again, but the servers are down. I know because of not playing today I'm probably way behind the curve, but I've got time to spare. I can play at night and during the day on weekdays when most people won't be on. Right now with so many people playing it's hard just to get anything done. So I might be out of it for the first to 40 contest but I'll keep at it and see how it goes. I'll keep you updated.
