hakamadare,

but maybe the devs are building that game but doing it step by step?

and this is one of the first steps, however one of the most boring ones? But going agaisnt it might hamper the development of the new BG and create a stuck in the middle disease, namely not being as fun as unreal tournament(skillbased), but sure as hell not being so fun as bg (storybased). In stead of the synergie of them 2, therefore being heavilly entertaining in the skillsection as in the storysection.

PS uncle: gw is kinda that game, it is only not 20 hours but more like 72 hours for the casual gamer. But Im sure that vendetta will become similar in the endstage.

cheers

Gosh, all of you haters of this idea need to shut up!
Just imagine! I could make my six chars, two per nation, jump in and level myself up to valk/maud/prom in all six characters! I mean how the hell can this be a bad thing?

Just imagine! I can go newbie-killing in say UIT space, effortlessly demolishing whoever I meet. Maybe eventually people will start to care, and some newbs might band together and die in small groups. Then, just maybe, some vets might take notice and start griefing me into the only station I still have dockable standings in.
Obviously, this character, which is now unusable, seeing how I can't dock anywhere but one or two fringe factions and everyone attacks me on sight.

But who cares! I still have five perfectly good characters all leveled up to happy-slappy levels with no faction problems and no bad reputation!

So you see, this is a WONDERFUL idea! I can't wait for it to be implemented, as I'm sure it's bound to be!

genka,

yes I know that is the reason why I stated that there had to be in game patronage unrespective of the person being the offender. Newbie - vet.

It's not that hard to let people agree to some sort of be nice statement (no griefing etc) with as a consequence of kicking/banning/deleting the entire account(IP) if said offense occured.

And im sure that paying customers will not really want that...

And as long as you keep the trial accounts so short that you can only level 1 char to average level, then that problem will not be that difficult.

i'll agree that if there were beter missions than leveling would be less tedious. But i still think that the ability to start a charactor above 0 level would be a good option for experienced players.

Maybee once you reach level 10 acrosse the board than you can create charactors that begin at level 4 acrossed the board.

For the record, i still think that my original counter perposal handles all the important complaints.
