I like it! And say "hey" sometime to me and I will gladly group with
you. I play Veeshan as well as a DE Wiz and will shortly hit level 15 and
hopefully 16 this weekend...can you say "new spells" - finally! My name as
my wizard is Alaia. I am currently working Oasis and pulling my exp. up
there quite nicely. That is if the Sand Giants don't stomp me first! So,
give a /tell sometime if you are on with your wiz and want a group to hang
with, I will gladly drag you in and get you some good exp. too.
