Heh well the gameplay from level 1-17 or so are so diffrent from 20-50 that
is hard to go back to the boring dull of soloing for the most part and not
being in dungeons like CT or unrest and so on. Personally I find the earlier
levels extremly dull and I almost quit eq back then because it was so
boring. Once I hit 16+ I really began to have fun though and once I hit 20 I
was a little bit in awe.
