Grinding? What's that? ;-) Heh, that was also my response in a thread
in AGW about maxing Leatherworking ;-) I guess it seriously depends on
your choice of classes, though. My Hunter, my one and only 70 so far
(I have a Warrior at 68, trying desperately to wrestle playing time
away from the Hunter, but unfortunately for her it's just so much more
fun to do the daily quests with the Hunter than it is to try to level
her that she's losing that particular fight. Add in the excuse that I
have that I'll need a lot of gold for her Epic Flying Mount when she
*does* hit 70, and doing dailies is the best way to get it, and she
doesn't stand much of a chance ATM ;-) ), didn't group with *anyone*
other than SvH (and then only occasionally) until well into her 30s.
She can still solo most group quests, at least up to the level 70
ones, and she's about to probably try to do what's supposed to be a
5-man level 70 quest series with only a 70 Warlock (which is supposed
to be the other easy class to solo, mine's only 25 so far and I
haven't found her easy to solo *yet*, but I really don't know what I'm
doing with her yet) and one of SvH's 70s, most likely one of his
healers. It should be fun :-)

The instances are another matter, but they're only 5-mans up until the
end-game stuff, and if you come to Llane (server) and join Justus
(guild), you'll recognize more than 5 people. We haven't really
progressed beyond the 10-mans, and for the better part need to call in
former guildmates and/or associated guilds even to run those. but
we've never been a serious raiding guild (those guild members that
want to do serious raiding (formerly 40-man, now only 25) join one of
the associated guilds, as a rule), but we *do* have fun :-)

There are 10-day free trial accounts that you can use to see if you
like the game, but I have to warn you that if you get one of these,
you *will* become addicted ;-) I started with the European Open Beta
(don't ask :-) ), which only ran about 6 days, and managed not only to
get myself hooked but drew Craig in, too :-) I actually used a 10-day
free trial of the expansion, after a forced hiatus that started about
a month before it came out, but that was only so I could postpone
going to the store and buying it and get back to playing the game :-)
I had my full version about 2 hours after the trial ran out.
