The obsession with role playing confuses me sometimes. Some people love it, I get that. But for people to think everyone should be in character all the time is just silly. Do I occasionally make comments or jokes that are technically role playing? Sure. But that's as far as it goes. My best memories in this game are from socializing with people. Not ogres and wood elves, but other people that share a common interest. The fact that EQ is classified as a role playing game doesn't mean you need to pretend you're an ogre. When I play final fantasy I don't pretend I'm cloud or lightning. I just play.
Also, on the subject of twinking, the most fun I have had in this game is by far the end game content. My first character was a level 32 bard with over 365 days played. At level 32 I was lucky when I got an electrum bladed wakizashi. I had done more traveling, exploring, and dying than I had grinding. It was fun, once. Once and only once. Had no reason to see anything between levels 1-32 after that character. I enjoyed getting to level 46 with a twinked monk in less than a week immensely. You know the game already, you know where to go. You see things from a completely new perspective, and you can progress without having to dedicate 50% of your life to it. I wouldn't support it here because the player base is too small, but if EQ live in the velious era had an option to let you start out any class at all from lets say...level 45 as long as you had a level 60 main I would have definitely supported it. I think a 2x exp modifier would be a good idea here though. Despite popular belief, I simply do not learn anything new from killing my 1000th sand scarab.

That all make sense man. Do you agree or disagree with the 2x level mob thing? Its just that some of that stuffs makes the game so non-immersive and mocks the genre in my mind. The rest was just my perspective on how people might get more joy. If you're getting you're fill, thats the point of a game!
