Was there really any contest?
Was there an advantage for the European people? When it started there it was 6am and for me in Australia I wake up and someone is level 31?.
And to have a chance it is only for people who can play alot.
I tried getting 3 characters to 44 and 64 and currently 12 and for me as an extremely quick leveler I was never going to catch the leader.
It should be just for bragging rights only not for prizes

Asylun, I respect your leveling skills, and your opinions are always worth listening to, but, with all due respect, I'm not buying all your complaints in that last post. For example, yes, European players got to start early--but you Australians will get extra time at the end. Everyone gets the same amount of time. And why did you (and several others) get so worked up about waking up to a level 31 contestant? That didn't surprise me very much--that's not that much time invested. It seems like the key to this contest has always been to stay alive, not to level quickly. There has been plenty of time for lots of toons to have leveled to the 70's or above--if they had all lived Alas, this was not your month. Maybe next month will go better. Frankly, this contest has been a lot more successful than I imagined it would be. Well over 100 entrants! My only suggestion (which multiple folks have already mentioned) would be to make everyone play the same race/class combo

You could save many lives on some icy roads with that amount of salt my friend. 44, 64 and 12 makes 120, dont die next time.
Yes i agree with dvoret and many others too, other contests should have themes like only gnomes (no monks), or draenai vs blood elf only pallys allowed, human vs orc only warriors allowed or maybe we could have a contest of only hunters, but not allowed night elf race, there are so many great ways to do this.
Hugs and love to all.

Just got back to ironman-ing last week and saw this when I went to register my latest incarnation. Haven't decided if I want to jump in on this one or wait for the next. And wow... Margothon... your leveling/ironman-ing on this is super impressive. Pure art. How do you go that fast and not die?

Margothon... your leveling/ironman-ing on this is super impressive. Pure art. How do you go that fast and not die? Knowledge of the journey ahead, patience, this contest has changed my iron playstyle i think for the better. Within this contest i have changed my outlook on risk/reward, almost played like i was on a shaman/warrior more than a monk, for me at this point at least 1 to 60 is really a foregone conclusion barring something like a phasing issue in stonard or a dc while im fighting im going to get to BC every time and fast as i know my route at this point like the back of my hand. I always make sure i get to 61 before i attempt Hellfire, getting chests and finishing the areas i have left after usually hitting 60 in Swamp of Sorrows. Blasted Lands and Silithus, the harder quests that i have left from earlier in Winterspring and Un Guro crater. Hellfire is just a matter of choosing your quests wisely, pick up this, pick up that quests usually, or fighting mobs you can handle easily or mobs that are spaced out nicely not all packed in and cramped. Hit 63 then move on to Zangarmarsh , complete all qs there then go back to hellfire and finish it off you will usually be about 66 at this point, anyways in conclusion KNOWLEDGE AND PATIENCE.

sorry to have a opinion , done with future contests then Asy I really hope you don't mean that. You level very fast and I think you would stand a real chance at any of the contests, but you simply had bad luck with deaths on this one. Anyone can die at anytime, even whoever is at the top, so people are going to have a chance until the very end. Hell, I haven't touched my contest character in over a week and I'm still in the top 10 due to all the deaths. Hopefully the next one will be 1 class/1 race. I think that'll keep everyone on a more even playing field.

Just lost my latest entrant, word to the wise: watch out for Kurak in Northern Barrens, especially as a caster. When you are protecting that Orc and all those Centaur start pouring in, your casting speed cannot keep up.
