New World

[Hoglum]

I suggest, on the side, quietly have the developers make a new world. It would be a world that entails levels 1-20 and can be upgraded along with level limit increases, etc. The catch, though, would be that only true reincarnated people can enter. Thus, when someone reaches level 20, they could opt to reincarnate and be born in this world. There could perhaps be a gateway between the two worlds, but the new one would be strictly for those who have maxed out and are starting over. The world could cost some modest amount of Turbine Points or be available to VIP's. Thus, people can level up to 20, run epics until they've had enough of that, then reincarnate on an entirely new planet with new places to explore and new dungeons to conquer.

/not signed b/c I would much rather this world be available to everyone.

/signed if everyone could go to this New World.

Jakarr,
If you mean make it F2P, I can go with that. People will still pay what they do anyhow and it would give everyone something fresh to do after getting through level 20. I only mentioned charging people since I'm sure it would be a costly project. If Turbine could lever money out of it successfully, it could be nice for all involved, players and company.

If you're suggesting that they translate DDO to a different game setting (Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, etc.) then I would be all for that. Having to start in Eberron and TR to get there seems totally unnecessary though. I'd much prefer DDO:Unlimited Greyhawk if they're going to put that much effort into something.
