Do you plan on trying to be the first to level 90 on your server?

If you plan on trying to get server first 90 there is a lot of preparation involved both in game and outside the game. As my previous post covered a lot of in game preparation this post will cover the real life preparation.

I like to break this part into three different categories; Technical, Distractions and Consumption

Technical: This category focuses on your computer and other technology and how you can save wasted time.
> Make sure your computer is clean, remove unused unnecessary programs, old games and files. Make sure you are virus free and run a defrag, the less things taking up space the better your computer will preform and you should have a stronger connection.
> Next time you play wow, go to your desktop after you have warcraft loaded, right click on your tool bar and hit task manager from here select wow.exe and set priority to high, this will make your load screens a lot faster.
> Make a playlist of downloaded music that you like and wont have to tab out to switch songs, do not stream your music that will slow down your internet and when a ton of people are all trying to play the new expansion all at once in the same area you do not want anything extra using your internet..

Consumption: This category focuses on your personal consumption, how to save time while not doing anything unhealthy and not crash.
> Make a large filling meal that you dont mind eating a ton of over the next couple days such as lasagna, chili, stew or stirfry. The meal should fill you up so that you dont have to take a bunch of breaks to eat, and its healthier for you than eating fast foods.
> Avoid a ton of junk food, a little is okkay your body needs the sugar so a chocolate bar every few hours between meals but you do not want your body to sugar crash and you to start to get tired.
> Drink clear fluids for the same reason as you are avoiding junk food, stay away from energy drinks, large amounts of pop or sugary juice such as fruitopia.
> Consume some outside air.
> Be sure to leave yourself time to sleep, if you start to get drowsy or head bobbing go sleep you arnt performing at your best anyways you might try to do things you normally do and die or go the wrong way on a quest, either way you are better getting some sleep and getting back into it after you wake up.

Distractions: This category will help you stay focused on your task of leveling as fast as possible and give tips to avoid slowing down.
> Making a playlist of your favourite music will also keep you from getting distracted by browsing or switching songs.
> Avoid battlegrounds and any kind of pvp although they might seem tempting at times but they do not give good xp at all
> The worst distraction all is your phone, text once your waiting for all your friends to hit 90...
> Do not watch TV / Movies even if you are just listening to them instead of music if the movie is good it tends to draw you in sometimes.


Good luck getting to 90!
