What sparks this question is a recent post on the battle.net forums.
Did any of you actually make it to lvl 99, and if so how long did it take you? None of my friends actually made it to 99 and we were pretty damn hardcore.
God no. Once I hit 90 I stopped to see how many more baal runs I needed compared to how many I had already done, and I don't remember the figures exactly, but it was on the order of hundreds of times more. No damn way.
I think I got to 84 or something, on SP, with a Frenzy Barb. I got owned repeatedly on Act II Hell and lost motivation. I think I got so frustrated I hero edited him and ruined it.
Got to 98, had a couple of ladder characters around 95-97 aswell, but the ammount of Baal runs you have to suffer to becomes unbearable eventually, even with staff and anihi, and you knw going form 98 to 99 is about the same time as 1-98, so you'll either have to be crazy or a bot to pull that off within a ladder season.

The grinding around 80 ain't bad, unless you're playing single player that is.

Highest was 98(ladder and on hardcore ), about 4 seasons ago. I'm working on my first and 2nd 99 at the same time ATM lol... Wish me luck
I have to admit the stupidly insane amount of runs needed is just well... STUPID. Going from 90 to 97 takes about 90 hours of baaling, then ontop of that 97 - 98 is around 90 hours itself and then the final lvl... 98-99 is around about 150-300 hours of baaling, the big gap is cause of the xp split u get at 98.
I think blizzard really screwed up bigtime on that and then no change to getting to lvl 99 with the now "6 month resets".... I can be done in that time but you have to play every day for atleast 2-4 hours...
Impressive to turn on the bot for a few hours while you do something else? Meh....
Anywho, highest lvl i ever had was 96. Not a fun process. Especially when you enter the portal too fast to a room full of gloams XD
Highest I've gotten to was level 80, and my bone necro kept getting duller and duller in act 4 hell (took like, 2 minutes to kill each foe) so I stopped there. This was like, a year or two ago.

yes, about 6000 baal runs from 98-99, theres basically no way to do it other than botting

BTW, i was unemployed then so i had some free time to kill.
since then the highest i have gotten to is 80-something.
i dont bot, it kills the game for me. so getting there took the entire season, start to finish. that was a couple years ago i think.
since then, i usually hit 89-90 to finish a good char, 85-88 for my mess around chars.
