Someone asked me this the other day, took me a while to come up with an answer.

Fun?

What's that?

I voted for didn't know, but now that I think about it - I think because of habit.

Is what pisses her off the fact that you are on EQ? I know a lot of people can relate to that. I kept telling my wife that it is better than my being down at the bar hoggin.

I really look forward to equipment upgrades. Not sure why, it's not like they ever happen. Leveling is still probably my #1 motivation, as I am still only lvl 57.

You should put AA points/leveling in the poll as well. I know AA points will be a large motivation for me once I hit 60.

Looks like it stops you at 6 choices.

A response of "to level" doesn't make sense to me. In and of itself grinding exp is extremely boring.

I started in on the Voronwe leveling plan a while back and have a lot more fun now. I can't manage his pace though, my exp bar seems to creep up slowly regardless of what I do. I only took 4 months to go through 58+run 3, and somehow I'm halfway through 59 in 3 weeks :)

I have fun, but only with my friends.

The day my friends quit, I'm gone.. for good.
