I Can't even get to level 40!!!!Follow

I had this problem for the first 7-8 months I played the game. Kept trying out new race/class combo's got to about 25 and couldnt get any farther. Honestly you can hope to just find something to keep your intrest about a character for me it was the mage class once i broke lvl 20 I found it the most enjoyable and I now got him up to lvl 50. It has been one of the most enjoyable experiences for me.

Personaly I found it was easier once I was in a good guild that tried to help me and I finaly realised that in for the most part every was pretty balance. No uber class you just have to learn how to play your own class to the best of its ability. Hope this helped some

two things that really help: professions and a good guild. If you have a friendly guild, the game is really fun.

Not even in one of the "Blues" areas(50-55), at those low levels every 2 levels or so get you a new goodie, a new toy to play with, and talents are still given you gravy. Here is a list of some exciting stuff for different classes in the mid 20's to 40

Druid: Well you just got angry sea lion form, and even more recently cat form; you are always getting new toys to make being a druid more fun (read more DPS)
Dash is at level 26, and that’s kind of a game changer, level 30 gets a channeled AoE heal!!!!, and travel form(move faster than your buddies with this free preview of a mount.

Hunter: 24 just got you Beast lore, it is fun sometimes to just see the info on animals so that you can think of what you want in future pets. At 26 you have rapid fire a super fun skill that will take you a few levels to figure out that you want to be using it a lot. Level 30 brings you Feign Death, the ultimate PvE tool, at the same time you also get flare, the rogue finder, how fun is that?

Mage: this is one of the biguns, as a mage you just got counterspell, and life is not much more fun that counterspell, you can spend almost 2-3 levels mastering the perfect time to use it. 26 is when AoE madness starts, frost spec mages can Start to do AoE farming with dang good efficiency, and 28 is the start of manna gems, this is a amazing time to be a mage.

Pally, Sheesh, don’t ask me, Mine made it to 45 and I stopped playing him, it was work to get him to 45(as a side note the toon was not soooo bad, and I would even think of making a blood knight, the issue I had was Pally overpopulation)

Priest: One of the low points in a priest life is the mid 20's, well some classes got this time as a super fun time, it is a lil harder for the priest, at 25 the last "New" spell you got was Mind vision. There are some new tricks waiting at 30 and a few race spells but as a priest you are always wanted for instance runs, that is if you want to heal, so I have never been in the 20's for long as a priest, simply being a priest gets you "Want to do BFD?" say ya a few times get your loot and be almost to level 30 and on your way to a mount.


Rogue: not my bag, I really don’t know.

Shaman: These guys are always getting new tricks(or totems), level 24 just got new stronger versions of previous spells, but 26 holds some new guys that are totally fun, but the super gravy hits at 28- 30 Water Walking, recall(15 min cool down hearthstone) and your last totem, no dragging backside for a shaman.

Warrior: like Rogue, not my thing.

Warlock: ooooooo yea, every level as a lock is fun, but mid 20's and up are a good time to be lockie. 24 gave you some tools, but nothing amazing, but level 26, buwhahahaha you can now use your succy to seduduce folks, extra CC is good.Curse of Tongues is a fun one on PvP servers, 28 holds banish and now you are boss of elemental killing, if they give you issues, banish , bandaid and keep going. level 30 gets you a fel pup, hellfire and a spell you can have fun with for a long long time, Enslave Demon.

I hope you find what you are looking for in rogue if not, go back and try one of your old toons, you may just find some aspect that was eluding you before.

That's what I'm doing now, only issue being I can't find an "alt" class that really fits me that I want to level again (I have an Alliance Warrior in the mid-thirtys and a Hunter in the low-fourtys on Anetheron), so I just log onto my teen mage and priest and just putz around doing stupid **** and "wasting" a whole night.

Still have fun doing lowbie content but I'd love to get to 60 eventually. (queue Tyrandor/Chiel/Seoman/Bael telling me to go back to Aneth)

I had a similar problem for quite some time. I started a Gnome Warlock as my first character. Got it to level 32 and abandoned it. I started a Human Paladin, got it to 40, stopped playing him. Started an Undead Rogue, got it to 30, stopped playing it. I loved every class in the game, but I wanted to play them all.

What I finally did was team up with a friend. I went from 1-60 as a Warrior with a Real-Life friend of mine who was playing a Druid. I was grouped with him for 98% of my 1-60. We were on Ventrilo almost the whole time. It helped those long grinding/questing sessions go quicker. In my experience, you just need to find a person or a group of people who can group with that make the time you spend on one of your characters more fun that any of your other alts. Since your friends keep bringing you back to that character, that becomes your main.

Yeah, I think pretty much everybody runs into this problem at some point. Not knowing which character you want to take all the way to 60 (and soon with the expansion, 70). I have an alt of each class and one main right now:

16 troll priest
16 undead mage
16 tauren shaman
23 undead rogue
30 undead warrior
36 undead warlock
36 tauren druid
55 Orc Hunter

I plan to eventually get them all up to at least 40, if not 60 (or some day 70). I enjoy pretty much all of them, but the hunter was by far the easiest to level up.

My reply may repeat some of the above replies, sorry about that.

1. When I started my alt, I got bored but not due to knowing all quests and repeating them over and over, mostly because I was away from guild chat so I got my alt invited to the guild. This game is an MMO so you simply can't play it in single player mode. It's boring if you try to.

2. Don't try to level fast. Do not stress yourself. Chill, it's not a race and it's only a game. The most important thing is to enjoy it and even though the real fun starts at the high end, low levels are very much fun. I levelled my rogue to 60 first and had various alts inbetween. Then had a priest to 60 and I enjoyed my firdt trip to the Deadmines really much. I find it hard to understand when people make a fuss over a game. Getting annoyed so easily, acting like they're about to lose a million dollar bet.

3. If you don't have friends playing this game, make friends in game while levelling. Let's say you're a tank, you may see tons of crappy healers on your very first instance run but if you ever find a good one (not only skillwise, but also in personality) I suggest to try other instances with him/her as well.

4. Yes, of course people have goals in this game but do not get obsessed with those goals. May it be an item, a faction reputation, an epic mount whatever. As I said above games are to relax and have fun, not to get irritated over and over again.


I have to say that things won't be that easy till you have a level 60 character or a friend in the server. (Basicly you'll need cash) So choose your professions wisely. There were times I was bored when I first started just because of money problems. Well.. If you have a thick skin you can walk around in a major city and beg but me thinks it's low. Just my two cents, enjoy.

What made it easy for me to level to 60 was exploring. WOW was fun to explore. New places, new mobs, and new challenges.

Also, my interest in character development helped. I wanted to see the new spells and new talents. That served as my motivation.

Basically, it's those two.

You do need to start to worry when you lose interest in all your alts and when you cant find a class that you are eager to try and to lvl. Why would you delete a char you played with and lost interest in? You might wanna be able to play him/her one day.

It's also against the rules and can get banned for doing it.

lol, ill just put in my 2c worth. Ya, I had that probelm for like first 3 months. In fact, one of my friends who mainly played just cause i did, quit cause he was just so annoyed. That's when I decided to at least force myself with character no matter what to reach a higher lv than 21. A tried the mage, and hit 31, by then I was sick and bored. But all of a sudden, I picked a warrior and BAM now im at lv 36 and don't feel the slightest bored. I don't really know why it happened but it did, and if you just forget your character and enjoy just the world and instances, it gets great.
