Thinking about Powerleveling your WoW character?

Some questions have come up about whether powerleveling (taking a character to high levels in a very short amount of time) is worth the money. I've never used powerleveling as I prefer to earn my stripes going through the game. That being said, there might be some spots where paying the price for a leveling service is worthwhile. If you've already gone through the game a few times and have a couple level 60+ characters, but want to create one more, then it might not be a bad idea to use a powerleveling service. They can get you into the high levels fairly quickly. Doing a little math and using Joana's Horde Leveling Guide, it would take 3+ weeks to reach level 60 if you were able to make it in 5 game days. That's 40+ hours a week for 3+ weeks, basically a second job. You would really have to be dedicated to get the character that far that fast. Then again for $150-200, someone could do the work for you and get you there in less time.

The next question then would be which services to trust. Since I've never used them, I can't really comment, but a friend has used Guy4Game.com. He said it was a good company and they delivered everything they promised. Be aware there are some companies that will take your money and run or worse yet, get your account banned from World of Warcraft altogether.
