no prob, i know its not a flame, i like the discussion. but as far as my
character, i don't have all the spiffy items yet, and i still have fun with
her and don't see the point of retirement. in fact, my point is that adding
new zones for level 50 characters benefits everyone else. like i said, when
fear was open we were out of your hair. and these aren't essentially new
zones, they have always been there and intended on opening but they haven't
gotten to it yet. opening these zones has always been in verant's plan for
the game. so with these zones to be opening soon and the expansion, i do
think it is in verant's plans to have these characters around for a long
time. hurry up and kabong me Talies before it's too late! =P
