It was four weeks ago I started the 2012 challenge. At that time, I thought of one or two people who might take part but I certainly didn’t think there would be eight of us already! Before I get to the others, let’s take a look at how I’ve progressed since the last update as I’ve tacked on a couple here and there.
- Liouxpold is now 81 and closing in on 82
- Carrera has hit 62 as she heals her way through levels.
- Mortevache is the only DK I’ve given any time to and he’s now 62.
- Levache hit 33.
- Saintvache is starting to show me why Paladin tanking is enjoyable. He’s now level 20.
Those are the main ones I’ve given time to, though I finally created a second priest -a Troll named Schadde. Pretty obvious if you know your German. In total, I’m now up to 799 levels. As I look, that’s almost 30 levels in two weeks. Not too bad. I spent some time doing PvP and that yielded mixed results but no doubt slowed what could have been faster xp gain. That puts me at 39.7% though. I’m in good shape, no doubt due to the levels I had before the challenge, but I’d like to “step it up” so to speak. How’s everyone else doing?
- Effraeti updated her efforts in her post yesterday. 1448 of 2012, for 71.9%
- Kuroma got another toon almost to 85 and now sits at 1436, or 71.3%
- Cheetah Dave cranked out several new toons and 100 levels this month to sit at 883 of 2012. He’s almost halfway now at 43.9%
- Kamalia got her first Alliance toon to 40 (a Mage) and a new alt to 42 as she now sits at 1378 or 68.5%
- Lyla at Harpy’s Nest focused on half a dozen toons and is now up to 1445, 71.8%.
- Hadleigh of Heal-Alt-Delete posted her progress early this morning, and despite deleting a lvl 5 Mage is up to 276. 13.7% is decent progress for a raider such as herself. I also give a nod to her Human Warlock Macabrelle. I like it.
- Reluctant Raider has been plague-a-fied and is exempt from math related activities at this time. Doctor’s note and all. Get better!
- NEW! we have a new inmate today, as Chuckem from over at Lord of Assets has answered the call (or voices). As he puts it, he’s a bit behind the 8-ball as he deleted some toons last week. But, he’s still at 336, or 16.7% of the way!



Yes, I am glad to see you found my post for the 2012 in 2012. I meant to email you the link, but I posted at like 11:45pm last night and all I wanted to do was crawl my brain-dead self into bed. lol
Thanks for the updates! It is really cool to see everyone’s progress!

As long as you link me in your post, I get a pingback which works just as well as an e-mail.
lol Very true. You would think that thought would have occurred to me seeing as I noticed your post first through the pingback. ><

It’s all good…normally I hate pingbacks because they’re usually my own.
Nothing wrong with tooting your own horn a lil.

Glad to be here. With 1676 levels needed in the next 12 months I need to average 152 levels per month to make it. Time to roll some alts, lol.
If it makes you feel better, as I stated in the challenge itself if you started from scratch on January 1st you would need 5.5 levels per day or 167.5 a month. Look at it this way, with 11 months that would leave you one month to spare!
I know, I know…I’m not helping.
