I don't really think that VI is faoviring the level 55+ characters like a lot of the people who posted seem to think. There ARE tons of places for lower levels to fight.. and not enough high level places. And there are more level 60 characters out there than you would think.. you don't stay level 30 |

One thing for sure. The New expansions with higher level requirements. Sure do free up many of the mid-level camps and end most farming now that they have to learn zones all over again. It is so annoying heading to a zone with your group or guild only to have it camped with 1 or more high level char |

Planes of Power does have 1 lower lvl zone... if they made more its not like a lvl 20 guild will raid it. IT might be a normal exp zone. If it isn't it will probably just be farmed by high lvls for the loot. A raid dosent work until u have a decent guild with alot of 50+ the mobs there cant be sol |

There is one reason I think that they made a expansion for 55+ lvls is because casual gamers are getting to lvl 60 now so there are to many uber people on each server for the few uber lvl raid zones so now they are making a expansion to make it so there is enough uber mobs to go around. |

Anyone complaining about PoP expansion, there is one word to explain it--Money. Do you think VI cares about anything but money? If it were my job, I would want to keep it. EQ has done a good job at keeping several hundred thousand people interested in this game. People that pay them every month. |

think about this for a reason why they need more cash at 4 million per month. approxiamately 100 GM's, who recently recieved pay raises so that they would be happier in their work and put up with whiny newbs. then think of the 40 or so servers that are up 24 /7 and have to be maintained CONSTANTLY. |
