As a new player here I see this rogue come into scardale with these daggers at level one and before I ( with eq starting out with or picked up from killing) make 3 levels he's/she's 20 and gone. How is it as a new player here can I meet people on this game if their only in the newbie area for a hour or so before their over stacked char is gone and running off to better things?
You ask why the new guy/gal is gone so fast? Think about when you guys/gals who have years of playing here, when you roll that new char take the time to run with and maybe help teach us new people some tricks as you level up the same way we have to. I know it must suck having a new person ask you how's why's and where's but it's the only way you keep people here is by helping them learn. Yes the NHC is nice and that Lilithelle is great. but come on she can only do so much.
Making everyone at the start of your char level with about the same gear in scardale might help some what. You elite players may have to use this newbie warrior to tank for your new rogue/cleric/mage beacuse you can't take the hits without your badass gear helping you out. And in doing so you might have just made a new friend and or helped a new guy/gal learn something that might keep them here.
In fact maybe you can make it so no matter you have to stay in this newbie area till level something or other with out that kickass eq so old players can meet the new players of this game.
Just my 2cents. Thanks
Limiting equipment in Scardale makes perfect sense. It keeps a pristine area for low-level players and power-leveling mob hoarders out.
Excellent!
