Nothing could be as bad as live with regard to leveling. I quit just after OoW came out, and tanking 600 hitting unslowed mobs with a duel-wielding monk with no strikethrough in luclin gear just to get half-way decent XP got old. My whole vice with starting over is that I could just reactivate my account in EQ and pickup where I left off. Here I'd feel compelled to donate just as much as my monthly subscription to my 3 accounts in EQ because of the time and effort put in on your guys part, there it would be paying for the time & effort I had put it. In the end, its a double edged sword.
