An Idea What are your thoughts?Follow

Many people have complained about the lack of use of the old world zones and new toons being power leveled to fast. What do you think about this Idea?

Institue a quest for every 5 levels (or any arbitratily assigned value) that must be completed in order to progress. These quests could be made general class specific and easy enough for all to do solo. The main benifit would be do drive charaters through certain content thus making questing and game lore more important to game play.

Let the discussion begin.....

Such things already exist. The problem is that people don't do them because the risk vs. reward or the time spent vs. what you can get for it isn't deemed worthwhile.

Plus, SOE has made it so that you get far better loot from the newer zones so noone can be bothered to do all of the old content.

I guess one solution would be for SOE to upgrade the old world quest rewards... but then they would probably make the quests harder too, which would then cause people to complain about that too... so... well, you get the point.

Like was stated these type of quests are already available. They aren't required to level but they shouldn't be made to do so.

I suggest a different option. SOE should implement instanced versions of older zones. These instances should contain high-mid lvl raid encounters also some group encounters. A high lvl raid in Crushbone or Blackburrow could be fun. Maybe an epic sized war in the Karanas or Ros.

Putting these instanced revamped versions of the older zones in an expansion would give SOE the money they need to do this type of work. SOE isn't revamping models/zones etc very much because they don't get any money out of it. Including new encounters in old zones in an expansion could be an interesting idea. It wouldn't be so bad in the lore department either.

The rememberance MM is set in Runnyeye so it's not like this hasn't been implemented already, and the new Nek forest looks awesome.
