I finally have managed to drag my Undead Priest up to Level 70, it being the first WoW character that I’ve ever maxed out. As an aside, here’s a conversation I had near the end of today’s journey:

Me: Dear God, two of my last quests are actually going to involve picking flowers and killing giant cats.
Wife: In the literary world, this device is called ‘bookends’.

And may I just say: anyone on the WoW design team who thinks that Priests need nerfing should be forced to play one solo for a month. My group fell apart halfway through the last level, and the last bit was like crawling through broken glass — and then being thrown in a shark tank. I can’t imagine what it’s like for someone spec’d to actually heal (note to would-be designers: when no one plays a certain spec below level 70, there’s a problem).
