Like a lot of players, I have a lot of alts. At this point, I have four 70's on Norgannon, where I play Alliance primarily alongside my wife and occasionally some old friends from the guild we transferred there with. I also have two 70's on Malfurion, where I play alongside my Horde friends who all live in Edmonton and generally share a social circle. (I've eaten cake with these folks and then run Kara the same day. Cake makes Kara better.) Now, I enjoy playing both Horde and Alliance, I enjoy having a variety of alts I can play.

But sometimes I have a problem, in that everyone I know has the same work and play schedule, and as a result, they want me to tank or heal or DPS for them at the same time. I don't know about you, but I can't tank Heroic Shattered Halls for my wife while DPSing in Heroic Ramparts for my friends. I can't heal a Karazhan run while playing AB at the same time. Even if I had two accounts and two computers, I am not a multiboxer by nature.

As a result, I tend to find myself disappointing someone on a regular basis.
