will you be my pact buddy?

Sindrome, people have been amazingly polite in this thread, considering how they normally degenerate. What they are saying is that most of them won't consider level pacting except to close real life friends, family or regular play partners. This isn't to say that you won't find a pact buddy, and I wish you success in your quest, but my experience is that too many people have been bitten in the past and are wary about committing themselves to someone they don't know.

I understand the frustration of playing for a long time and not gettingthat first 50. My friend was in US beta, UK beta and introduced me to the game. He had chronic altitus though and couldn't stick to one alt. His highest was 35 and he left the game forever bored of the low level content. I had a problem to begin with but I got into a great SG which was always teaming and suddenly a new interest swept over me. I managed to get 2 alts to 50 within 2 months of each other after over a years playing and now, nearly 4 years later i have 9. The xp smoothing means that it is even easier to get to 50 than it has ever been and a little patience, perseverance and commitment to one alt can see you getting to 50 in very little time. At level 40+ there always seems to be a team going for some awesomely fast levelling. All you need to do is send a tell to anyone in the search window who is grey and politely ask if there is room in their team. If they have space they will almost certainly say yes as the more the merrier seems to be the order of the day. It might seem that 2 million xp is a lot to get, but in reality a team of 8 will probably see you level every night or two. I went from 32 to 50 in a week recently thanks to an amazing team who just had fun and every time I brought the alt on immediately sent me a tell saying hi and would I like to join them.

I know a levelling pact sounds like the best option, but its not. Teaming and perseverance is the fastest way to get those levels if thats what you are after. Soloing is nice if you don't have time to commit to a team or just feel in an unsociable mood but the sense of accomplishment you get in a team of 8 on high difficulty as you hit the AV for the last points of damage and the fireworks go off and you ding 50 is amazing. Personally I think there should be a chorus of naked Carnies dancing past holding a banner saying "Congratulations on your new 50" when you ding, but thats just me

I hear there's still stuff up on YouTube though. Find it quick, before the censors get wind.

Cause it will smell when they do?


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
