Shared Topic: Leveling 1 to 10

What do you think of the very beginning of the leveling process, those levels between 1 and 10? For last week’s Shared Topic, Guthammer from Guthammer’s Last Stand invited us to comment on that level bracket, on what we like about it, on what we like less and on what we’d suggest to improve it.

A while ago Blizzard came out with the stat that 70% of its accounts don’t ever make it past level 10. While I am sure that Blizzard can put in some great analysis of their game, I am also sure that they would love to hear more player feedback on the new level experience.

Now I realize that most of us are far from newbies and we won’t be able to get into a newbies mind set perfectly (heck I am 10 years out of newbiehood for MMOs and 5 years out for WoW), but I think we can all add to the dialog about those first 10 levels, what works for you and what doesn’t.

Participating this week are:

Guthammer from Guthammer’s Last Stand

Lissanna from Restokin

Windsoar from Jaded Alt

Glass of Water from Not So Overpowered

Cornelious from Techadin
