Yeah the bards have to travel more than any other class. Its pretty fun
too. You really get to see the world. Try traveling even more, its fun
to see the reactions of players when you tell them in halas that you've
come from kelethin, and even more when you tell the people in oggk or
grobb(well outta the guards' views atleast) where you've come from. The
bards are supposed to travel, and IMO any class should see the world.
You might not level as fast, but saying that you've visited every city
by level 10 or so can turn quite a few heads. ;)
