I must say

I did something similar. I had been playing with the same character I made on the CE before 1.18 came out. When 1.18 was released I made a new character just to see what has changed; like you said, it's a lot easier to lvl up now. It's crazy how so many things changed.

I started over because 3 of my friends came to the game so the absence of level sync forced me to begin anew.
