<p>It really has been a lot of fun, and thanks for coming up with the idea, Kiara! And its been just as much fun talking to everyone in the kithikor.permadeath. I wish I'd had more time to participate over the last few weeks, but real life decided to interfere. But I'm planning to continue to play and see how much farther I can get before I hit the 5 deaths, once you've closed out the contest.</p><p>It was a great idea, and I hope you do decide to hold it again. I am definately looking forward to participating!</p><p>-- Zoenne</p>

<p>Keyasai is lvl 63.  *snickers*  .. I was really trying, without risking my last death, to get to lvl 67.  </p><p>I thought it would be so funny if I could get her 1 level past my main, Kaisha (66), of 4 years but oh well.  Still getting to 3 levels behind her in 1 month still says something ... </p><p>What does it say ? ... It says that there is too freaking much exp given in Collections.I turned in somewhere around 192 Collections starting after lvl 45. </p><p>Of 'course I depended on Collections so much because the solo quests sorta petered out about 50.</p><p>Sure, there were still quests that were sorta listed as solo .. Except for the fact that the quest direction or the quest item lay at the feet or in the path of 1 or more heroic mobs. </p><p>I stumbled into doing the Karana as my deity, never was able to get my pet because the "solo" deity quest mob that I needed to talk to is on the far side of Lavastorm ( I HATE Lavastorm ) which is of 'course full of Heroics and Epics and lots of tempting "?'s" which will get you killed because there are tons of stealthed spiders all over the place.. /sigh. </p><p>Had the same sorta problem with the PoF quest line.  Went to do the solo quests there and got stopped because the item I need to harvest was at the feet of of a (then) Yellow Heroic group of 3.   Couldn't have even bribed someone in the zone to kill it for me because I was the only one in the zone.    </p><p>All in All I had a decently good time .. but .. I am very glad to be able to go back to my own server and my own character.  I missed "me".   lol .. =)</p>

<p>A tip of the hat to all the big winners...this is something I <i>thought</i> would be easy and turned out to be very tough.  My gameplay mentality, death penalties involved or not, is far too reckless to be successful at something along these lines.  Going in, I thought "5 deaths?  pffft!" and then  I couldn't make it out of the 20's. </p><p>A guildmate told me Warden was the class to play for this contest, and low and behold, a warden won! I should listen to what he says more often, apparently.</p>
