Has anyone speedrun MMOs?

When I used to play WoW I heard about people speedrunning to level their character to max. I think I heard 25 hours for 1-90.

The lovely part of TWEWY experience grinding is the ones that need the like, fake streetpass exp. I'm sure that worked just fine for Japanese players but us baka gaijins had to just wait around for hours and hope an alien pops up

Yeah, that's a fair complaint, and it's the main reason why nobody runs TWEWY 100%. (I just used my wife's DS to grind it at the time.)

Before Blizzard introduced paid character level boosts, you could make decent money doing it for other people.

This was right at the start of my senior year so for a few months there it looked like I was in for a real disaster.

It ended up okay for my final semester though.

I have more games fully completed on the DS because of this.

Now I buy games that sit and collect dust because I know they're good but never find time to play 'em.

Browsing the speedrun channel on twitch every once in a while I see WoW to level 10 runs as well.

Growing up is realizing not everything is worth your time.

A full week of speedruns though? 100% worth every minute.

If it's anything like our trucks, it may be dropping salt on the road to help melt the ice/snow.

Yeah!

growing up is just being able to sit back and say "wait a second, am I actually having fun with this?"


and then not doing it if you're not

That must have been right around the time I finally got my hands on video games. My first console was a game boy pocket with pokemon blue and I got it with christmas/birthday money in 1998.

ye I think it was not too long after the pocket came out because I don't think I had started kindergarden yet so I think mine was end of 96 or start of 97. learned a lot of words playing that.
