That's how it was for me as well... the 20's were my hell levels. I went
thru 27 - 37 in about 1/4 the time it took to go thru 19 - 27. I must have
died nearly 200 times in my 20's. One major benefit is being ported out of
a battle gone awry, rather than trying to crawl to the zone. But mostly it
is being with competent people and working lots of blues rather than few
reds. I've averaged about 1 death a level since 27, quite a change from my
20's. And _that_ definately adds to the fun factor. _I_ am certainly
enjoying the game more staying alive instead of trapsing back from my bind
point. :-)

Right now, my Bard is somewhat on the shelf until they sort out the
overcrowding problems. It's more fun playing a level 8 Shaman in Kerra Isle
(and training myself to death :), than it is spending 45 mins trying to find
a place to hunt... Even Paw is crowded on Xegony these days.
