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?<br><br>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.evansimsTue, 14 Oct 2008 15:13:59 -0000http://evansims.com/game-design/when-did-we-forget-the-fun-of-a-challenge#comment-2520122I 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.Chris FisherMon, 22 Sep 2008 10:41:31 -0000
