Remember the first time a friend blew past you in level?

This should entertain:

Heh, gee sounds familiar.

As for leveling slowly, how slowly are you claiming? Cuz I've been playing since last November and my highest level is 54. :p

Nah, its always seems to do that for a little while when you're right on the edge between rankings. It should even out eventually. ^^

This has happened to me, too. I started this game in November 2003, and I'm only a 34 blm. I've got 40 DAYS of playtime. Not that I'm complaining, since I really enjoy questing and the like. However, a friend I got hooked on this game back in March is already level 59 rdm. Guy blew past me in about 2 months. Part of this I attribute to him being a Gil Buyer (the bad kind that pays rl money for it), but it's still kind of disheartening. Now the guy has moved on to WoW, and I can't even get him to level his subjobs with me. It's kind of depressing :(

lets see well i was lvling SMN my 2nd turned main and at 27 i met a WAR who was 26 but didn't have Kazham keys and i tried to set up a PT for him so that we didn't have to hit kazham but well it turned out that everyone who was lfg wanted to follow the crowd and only wanted to go to Kazham.

so not seeing a chance to lvl with a Spiffy WAR who i ended up befriending while trying to set up a pt. I told him i would help him get his keys since he only needed 2. so i switched to my crappy MNK30/WAR10 lol and i got him his Key for the Grotto. well he had plans to play PLD and he's already 75 lol. I guess i could say he is fast but with all the job hopping i have done i am not sure lol.

Kinda kool having a lvl 75 friend who isn't a friend of a friend lol.

btw his Name is Locian and very nice person as well as a great PLD willing to die for a friend. >.<

LOL!!! I like the comic. That happened to me like MILLIONS of times. My friend that partyiied with me in Qufim, is now 65. The Ninja that I partied with in the Jungles is now almost lvl 64. And my Bard friend that was lvl 36 is now 75...

Why do I have to suck a slow poke? ='(

Sounds like me and virtually everyone else I know lol. People that I befriended while in dunes have blown way past me to the 60's and 70's already while I am currently still at 42 -.-

Heh, even the rw friend I started this game with has blown past me in level also, but we have grown rather apart these last couple months so I guess it doesn't really matter much anymore lol.

Ehhh...the only good thing about being high leveled is the ability to walk into Zi'tah without aggro I guess^^

Love the comic btw, its great!!

this has more likely happened to me and what i have as a linkshell. im lvl 28 and almost everyone when i join was 15= levels higher than me but i caught up. later i was grounded for 4 weeks(wont go into why) but im like the weakest person in my linkshell im planning on making my own so i have some authority.
(slow and steady wins the race,but will die against a beastman)

I'm pleased to see that the comic was appreciated.

I wonder if anyone noticed it geared more toward WoW (don't hit me, I don't play it Smiley: tongue).

But it resonated with me nonetheless. I've have high level friends who started playing after me who really might as well be described now as beings whose puissance cannot be described by mundane numbers (no giant cats though Smiley: frown).

... at least so it seems from my lowly perspective. Smiley: tongue

Yeah, my "blew past me in level" person is Iverin. I have no idea how she did it; either she levels really fast or I level really slow. I'm betting the latter.

Anyway, I'm a Penny-Arcade addict, and proud of it.
