It's not that I never wanted to, it was because I was afraid of what would happen when I did.
In my three years, I have seen many rush to 75, only to find disappointment when nothing changes. They get there and ask themselves "What happens now?" Without fanfare, and unable to go back, they quietly disappear into the night.
So instead of rushing to the top, I decided to spend my time leisurely; after all, I was in no rush. I would help others to reach their goals, and--once there was no more I could do for them--I let them fly free. Sometimes they returned, sometimes they did not. It was so odd seeing many of them hit 75 before I did...
Until now, I told myself that I was only leveling again to better help others. But today I realize why I am really doing it: I want to answer the question "What happens now?" for myself.
I wonder, will I share the same fate? Once you have arrived, can you ever go back?

The Dream Inside
The world was fresh
The sky was new
With places to go
and things to do
When I was a level 1
The world was large
I'd lose my way
And towns were always
so far away
When I was a level 1
The world was scary
Yet without friends
Monsters would still
meet their ends
When I was a level 1
And time marched by
I learned to grow
Because there were things
i did not know
When I was a level 1
And time flew fast
I'd buy new things
A shiny sword
or sparkling rings
When I was a level 1
And time sped on
New friends appeared
My adventures with them
i would keep dear
When I was a level 1
I often dreamed
What I'd hold
The best of gear or
pockets of gold
When I was a level 1
I often wondered
What I'd achieve
Would I be who
I wanted to be
When I was a level 1
I often considered
How I'd be known
Your dearest friend
or greatest foe
When I was a level 1
I will look back
On times that passed
My new experiences all
left too fast
When I was a level 1
I will recall
The things I tried
The times I live
the more I died
When I was a level 1
I will remember
The dream inside
And though I am
a level 75
I will always try to be level 1
The world was fresh
The sky was new
With places to go
and things to do
When I was a level 1
The world was large
I'd lose my way
And towns were always
so far away
When I was a level 1
The world was scary
Yet without friends
Monsters would still
meet their ends
When I was a level 1
And time marched by
I learned to grow
Because there were things
i did not know
When I was a level 1
And time flew fast
I'd buy new things
A shiny sword
or sparkling rings
When I was a level 1
And time sped on
New friends appeared
My adventures with them
i would keep dear
When I was a level 1
I often dreamed
What I'd hold
The best of gear or

When I was a level 1

What I'd achieve

When I was a level 1

When I was a level 1

When I was a level 1

When I was a level 1

The dream inside
And though I am

I will always try to be level 1
