Plus I came into WoW following my husband, so I had a natural party member– at least until he rapidly out leveled me. *sigh*

I was used to playing a healer in CoH, but I found out very quickly that I couldn’t depend on finding a group to do the DPS for me and my druid quickly turned kitty-shaped. I was lucky that I ended up finding friends who leveled more or less at the same time I did and around the same hours.

With my erratic play times and altitis, I’m sort of stuck finding folks to play with now… Saga had mentioned that things might be better in a leveling guild and now I’m sort of curious to track one down and see. Always something new to learn! :)

To be honest, I usually give up on a group quest rather than ask for help. I’m a very independent person. That’s probably not a great attitude for an MMO. :P

But since doing dungeons I think now – if I was doing more questing- I’d do as you mention and maybe put out a request in general if I needed too. I have found I enjoy the social part of the game more than I thought I would. It almost feels like two totally different gaming experiences to me. There is my soloing self who enjoyed quiet morning in the Wetlands (still my favourite place) and the grouping self who now never sees the outside of a dungeon and has forgotten what WoW fresh air must feel like!

(Never fully trust a demon!)

Majority of my leveling/questing time I am alone as well – but it’s nice to sometimes group up with friends, or even make an alt to level specifically with them. While saying that though, it hardly ever happens *lol* But it’s nice the odd occasion that it does ;)
