New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[van_arn]

Yeah, I don't think levels should dictate who can be considered a new player or not, especially with the existence of jump potions and story skips. Time and experience through various pieces of content is usually a better gauge of player experience.

Levels aren't the issue. It's the combination of time, lack of progress through the msq, and lack of a job stone that tells me they really haven't had enough time with the game to appreciate how much the msq blocks, not to mention how long it is. Not to mention the sameness of the fedexing.

I'm glad this individual sprout is enjoying themselves. I've seen too many of them sour in 2.x, often going into potd to try to 60 everything before burning themselves out.

Perhaps it will happen to this sprout, perhaps not. I've only seen it happen enough to be cynical when someone's on a story high on their first 20.

Six game phases away from the present day. Soon to be seven.
