There was a moment at the end of level 36 or so where I was feeling the grind of it just a bit. I wasn't even halfway through the game and it just felt like it would be forever.
This was right at the time of the Fire & Ice event. Because of the huge XP gains for that event (along with the discounted lucky eggs) and the fact that I teach (so I had just gotten off for the summer), I think I went up well over 2 million XP in a week and basically leapt right past level 37 and into level 38, which sorta reignited my interest.
Further, this was right around the time that I sorta finally integrated with the local Pogo community. Up until this point my wife and I just basically played by ourselves and occasionally with family when out of town. I finally went on the radar of a ton of other players due to raids and them finally putting a name to a face. Since then, the community aspect has also kept me much more involved. Well that and the fact that I am only just over 2 million XP away from L40 now.
