I'm a special case. My wife started her first character, a warrior, when I
started my bard and my brother-in-law started his third character, a
Paladin, all at the same time. I did levels 1 through 5 grouped with them.
My first character is a retired level 21 mage that I haven't logged on with
in months and consider retired.

I used to try this, but in my parties, which are usually tank heavy, so much
is flying by in the chat window that I'm already at information overload.
Maybe I should turn on some of those filters... Nah, I can't stand to miss
something :-). It wouldn't be the same if I didn't throw in that "Nice
Crit!!" comment here or there.
