I know but then again us 50's played with less then you have now you guys
just want some new stuff I just need a place to hunt and I've got a 21
shaman right now. There is plenty of places to hunt and there are quests
here and there but the bottom line is you guys can play it's getting to be
unplayable now to wherem ost people don't pla ytheir main chars at all or
rarely rather because of overcrowding. This is the problem I am forced to
play my mid level chars so there must be something right for you guys.
