I hit level 60 tonight, squeaking in before the content update! Thalya is only 15k behind me and that'll be easy to do tomorrow night, so looks like we're going to meet the goal of both being there before book 7!
What, did you think I wouldn't take screenshots for posterity?
The best thing is the conversation we were having at the time, about how neither of us could pay attention because we were tired.
We wiped on the way back to turn in the quest - it would figure that we would both make it through the whole quest unscathed, and then get taken down by two goblins and a couple bats on the way back.
(Also, I apparently turned of floaty names right before this? I don't remember doing that. LOL!)
Anybody else have their level-ups documented? If you've got 'em, post 'em. Come on, I can't be the only one.
