/Level 50 - Phoenix Freeshard

I would speculate that a strong majority of players are here mainly for the classic RVR experience they loved years ago. For myself, I see leveling up in PvE as a deterrent to the very point of why I want to play DAoC here. Is there any thought on paid /level 50 functions, so that more players are more likely to get to the part of the game they are playing this for? I would gladly pay a fee to skip the bullshit!

Some players value the leveling experience:

- to socialize in a relaxed setting and make new friends
- as a means of (re)familiarizing themselves with the class
- for providing a steady sense of progress and accomplishment
- to rekindle nostalgia from the past and enjoy the ambience of the world

All of those reasons apply to me. Allowing a paid i50 option would trivialize the experience and drain the lower levels of players to group with. The XP rate is already extremely quick, to the point that I was taking my characters from 1 to the mid 30s in a night of casual play. Yesterday, 40-47. DAoC is incomplete without PvE, even though RvR is the centerpiece.

I don't think they legally can.

pretty sure for them to run a freeshard they can only accept donations. if they did a paid /50 I am betting they would be shut down quickly.

Even if we would be allowed to take money for /level we wouldnt implement it.

Xping on this server is pretty fast and there is absolutely no need for a /level command when we go live. Besides Beta there will never be any kind of free /level on this server.

instant 50 and rr 6 is a good idea for the beta.

Sooner the better.

I've leveled 4 characters from 40-50, 3 solo, 1 duo. Each time it took 10-11 hours /played using the xp items.

That is pretty dang fast considering that it took 8 hours to go from 49-50 on uthgard in a group chain pulling in lynn barfog...
