That would only increase the speed of the issue of not having players to group with at all levels. Then it would become only a race to the top. I think a better way to deal with this is add the emu bot system in a discrete tasteful manner to where people can hire a bot in towns (classic models/races/classes of course) to help fill in the gaps for times when you can't find someone your level.

I know it isn't classic to have bots but I don't think it would be intrusive if done tastefully.

Once we go live I plan on making 2 characters. One I will use for soloing. The second I plan on using in gorups.

I will be using our boards to premake groups for a set time and place. I think this will help a lot until we can get the community built up.

The server has not even "gone live" yet since it is still in beta. If you you build it they will come. I am curious to see how many people will play once it is released. I think it would be a good idea to have a sign up so we can get an idea how how many active players there will be.
