well excuuuuuuuuse me =P
that is what the planes are for. when Fear was open (yes it is open now but
impossible for 40 level 50s) a large majority of 45+ characters was there
for most of their time, thus freeing up space for spots where they would
normally take away from the rest of the 40-50 characters. it got us out of
your way. it also kept me from creating new characters and going after
items for them (so sue me). before they patched Fear and made it
impossible, i had no other characters. now i have two. like you said, the
vast majority of players are not 50, and consequently the vast majority of
zones are not for level 50 players. as of now, there are really only 2
zones, which i mentioned: Solusek B and Lower Guk. more zones for us is the
answer, not retirement. thanks for wanting to get rid of me though =P
