Hi Robert and evryone else


I can understand your frustration and i have been there to, want to know what i did ?. I started an Dwarf Paladin couse i want to be able to have magic, i playd him almost 20 hours and got him up to lv 10.
I think that Paladin�s are a great class but when i came back to my Wizard again and evrything was fun again, i got him leveld u from 16 to 19 and now that feeling comes over me again.
I have so hard finding any XP by myself or find a group to get XP in, i have been to unrest but i dont like that place. Either your in a strong group there and you don get much in XP or you are in a group around the same level so you have to zone sometimes with the result it takes ages to regroup and get back to the killing of undeads.
I have been Lv 19 so long now i cant take much more of this so i will play my Paladin for a while i think and wait for the feeling for my litle gnome wizard to get back, it always does so i�m not worried about that.

Hmmmm that was not what i intended to write in the first place :-)

Wizards are fun to play!!!!

Askur Lv 19,5 Wizard of Veeshan
Askan Lv 10 Paladin of Veeshan
