I'm assuming you going East...
Rushes are easy, you can usually get a free one within 5 minutes of asking/making a rushme game. In hell you'll proabably have to fork over your forge, unless some1 on here does it. For faster leveling get a glitch rush. Chaos runs.
Ladder is awesome, not nearly as much dupes and all that shit. But yeah i'm east ladder too, *Cereal_Killers i'll see wat i can do to hook u up with some items.
