Hm... this is too bad. As an MMO altaholic, the fun (for me - IMO) has always been the leveling. In the fantasy genre, that meant growing your character from a lowbie stick wielder to a gear-whore.

I had been interested in trying this game when they opened free trials. With how many XP boosts and tweaks they've been adding since it's been released here, I'm thinking more and more it's not the game for me.

Bad sign when the developers have given up on the journey a player/character goes through from level 1 thru max. Why not just give the option to create a max-level character and be done with it?
