@tfangel:

Given how demonstratably little many players know of their class by the time they get to 70, I’m willing to credit the “midgame” that they know it at all.

Hmm… a part of me loves the idea, another part of me wonders why there is a “midgame” at all to get to 70 if that is where the “real game” is. I’m an alt-aholic, so i spend a lot of time in the empty areas soloing. But all this means is that those areas will be more empty and more solo focused.

This reminds me of the discussion of why people basically gather in one zone/area and such. Maybe if zones weren’t so focused on level range, sort of like how city of X and DDO have some mobs, but the real challenges are in instances. I don’t know, seems like they spend so much time and money making a zone, only to have made obsolete and never updated again.

It’s a needed change, really. Just as more quests are needed in the 40-50 range. Hopefully this Xp per level decrease, and increase of XP on quests is enough to not necessitate that though.

As the gap between the new players/alts and the end-game players widens (especially with a new cap of 80), I think it makes perfect sense to speed up the leveling process as long as it’s not too much.

Let’s be honest here people, if you don’t know how to play this game and your class well enough by about level 45-50, there’s going to be no helping you, regardless of the time it takes to get to 60.

I made 60 when it mattered!

THough seriously this is gonna be nice for all those alts I left at 24-30. The new Marsh quests will help ease the smash that is STV, woohoo. Dig the upgrades to exp and rep and items…nice. Hope it drops soon, got w 46 hunter that can benifit from the marsh stoof as well as a 52 pally thats struggling.
