So a few days ago I got my invite into the beta and am Im currently not a WoW subscriber (stopped playing the current patch in nov. after being bored to tears) nor am I a subscriber or playing any other game currently. I thought, getting an invite this early with a possibility of 3+ months of it ahead I would have more than enough time to do whatever I wanted. And while I like testing and finding bugs and exploring the new areas, I was in the mood to really play a MMO and feel like the character was mine and with all this free game time in the beta, I thought why not do both?
So I rolled a level one toon on the beta and plan to level and test (already found numerous bugs with some the changes involving lower levels) from 1-100. I'm only in 30s but having heaps of fun. I'm being forced to do things I normally took for granted or never had to do. I' started a fresh toon with no money or BoAs of any kind and since the beta AH is basically empty and there isn't a single person around my level nor do any dungeon queues pop at these levels at all I have been multitasking with tradeskills and questing to get the items I need and enjoying the hell out of it.
I usually battleground and instance my way through levels on live but with that option unavailable to me and not having anything on the AH available to me, relying on myself for all my toons needs has been great. And while it gets lonely and I am looking forward to hitting the xpac areas and testing them, this has been a lot of fun. You wouldn't believe how many rare mobs i've come across that I've never even heard of now that there isn't a single person out there to kill them. If you get a chance before its too deep into the beta I highly recommend it. Just remember it is a beta and we are there to test but don't worry there are many issues and bugs I've come across in the old zones and just leveling in general with the character changes and UI changes to report.
