It's simple enough to check if a player has a character level X or higher, why not give the XP bonus just to players who have met that criteria?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Likewise, I'm not against making things easier for new players who are joining the game to play with friends. That's where mentoring and CoX-style sidekick systems work beautifully.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Evan Sims</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:13:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: When did we forget the fun of a challenge?</title><link>http://evansims.com/536/when-did-we-forget-the-fun-of-a-challenge/#comment-2520122</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I actually agree with idea of making 20-70 easier, I think EQ2 has reached a point in it's lifespan that most people are leveling alt's and who wants to spend 160 hours doing that? You are 100% correct though about building a better game.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris Fisher</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:41:31 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
